Abstract
The research article aims at conducting an analytical, appreciative, and applicative study of Dasavidha-rājadhamma (Tenfold Virtue of the Ruler). The results of the research are as follows: 1) From an analytic study on Dasavidha-rājadhamma, it refers to the virtues that leaders whether the emperor, king, or ruler in general should adhere to as a tenfold practice which are Dāna (Giving), Sīla (High Moral Character), Pariccāga (Self-sacrifice), Ājjava (Honesty), Maddava (Kindness), Tapa (Austerity), Akkodha (Non-anger), Avihiṃsā (Non-violence), Khanti (Patience), and Avirodhana (Non-deviation from righteousness); 2) From an appreciative study on Dasavidha-rājadhamma, it is found appropriate to apply as the virtues for general leaders because the Dhamma taught by the Buddha is universal and able to develop the quality of life of leaders in the 21st century era; and 3) From an applicative study on Dasavidha-rājadhamma, it can be applied well to the paradigm leaders after the moderate postmodernism where the judgment was used as a tool leading to excellent results, namely, the development of quality of one’s life and of the public.
