Buddhist-based Solutions over the Thai Family Problems

Abstract

This article is concentrated on the analyses of the Thai family problems, their familial destabilization and the strategies of Buddhist-based solutions to achieve successful family life. Most sensitive conflicts have been flooded from personal background, education, economic necessity and the transition of extended family to nuclear family. They lead to the hike of divorce broken homes. The simple doctrines for counter these conflicts given by Lord Buddha are the four gharavasadhammas of the truthfulness (sacca), training (dama), patience (khanti) and sacrifice (cagā). They are indispensable to the domestic harmony.  The threefold training (Ti-sikkhā) can also reinforce the appeal of every family member while affection depicts their previous domestic life, or else from their caring for one another in the present life.
