Sambhavesi: Its Context and Meaning of Pali Term in Changing Society

บทคัดย่อ

This academic paper aims at criticizing meaning and context of Sambhavesi which has a discrepancy meaning from original term of Buddhism used by Medias. Reinterpretation the term ‘sambhavesi’ causing the discrepancy of original term happens because of modifying contents of term with recent social contexts and recognized meaning of term users. They did not define exact term before but intentionally interpreted by themselve then bring such meaning to public. Not only wrong interpretation but also misunderstanding and wrong views occur without re-correcting. This happens because of the lack of misunderstanding the authentic teaching and purpose of Buddhism. And other reason is that discrepancy is caused by self-attachment used by theistic religion as well as advertisement propaganda of enforced consumption. The commercial approaches seek mindless audiences and mislead to cling self-attachment which is root of wrong views in the sense of Buddhism.
In other hand, there found the reference to original teaching of Buddha using same term but in different contexts which later causing mistakes from true aim of Buddhism. Various television organizers always lead emotion of audiences through impressive contents; 1) impressive contents e.g. heroic stories and fighting between the righteousness and demons and 2) horrific and exitement contents. Context and meaning of Sambhavesi appear in second content, horrific and excitement for commercial interest and increasing audience amounts. Without recheck from original source of Buddhism or experts, it may cause or even dismiss true essence of original purpose.
