Buddhist Concepts and Techniques of Presenting Buddhist Concepts In “Ways of Happiness”, a Literature of Art-Ong Jumsai Na Ayudhya

Abstract

This article has been written to review the Buddhist Concepts found in the literature, “Ways of Happiness” by Art-Ong Jumsai Na Ayudhya, and to examine how the Concepts had been presented. From   the study, it was found that there were eight Buddhist Concepts which were, being mindful, being responsible for what one has to do, letting go of everything, being positive, being loving & kind to others, being contented, being diligent, and making sacrifices. These Concepts were all valuable and can be applied in everyone’s life. For the techniques used in presenting the Concepts, it was found that there were four techniques which were using tales and stories, using explanations, using metaphors, and using examples.             These techniques help to make the Buddhist Concepts clear and easy to understand, so that the readers can better receive the message.
