The study was a qualitative research by studying documents, in-depth interviews with key informants including judges, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, parents, juveniles, and experts on Buddhism, in a total of 62 persons. The acquired data were analyzed by means of content analysis and interpretation by applying the theories and related literature into consideration. The results of the research are found that the most common problem of juvenile who commit offences is relating to drugs, namely, drug possession, drug dealing, drug manufacturing, etc. The study also found that drugs are also involved with other offences. A model of juvenile counseling for peaceful way in the central juvenile and family court consists of 3 components: 1) Fundamental principles by applying Ariyasacca (Four Noble Truths) and Bhāvanā (Four Kinds of Development). Ariyasacca comprising dukkha (suffering), samudaya (the cause of suffering), nirodha (the cessation of suffering), and magga (the path leading to the cessation of suffering) can be applied as a framework counseling; 2) The development of people involved in counseling through the network power; 3) There are 6 steps for juvenile counseling which are (1) preparation, (2) relationship building, (3) trust-building, (4) encouragement, (5) thought-provoking and setting goals in life, and lastly, (6) practicing the noble eightfold path. All of which enables the new body of knowledge called “NT & 4D for Juvenile Counseling for Peaceful Way”
