Abstract:
The study consisted of the following objectives: 1) to analyze problems of facilitative leaders as well as concepts and theories on the development of prototype facilitative leaders based on modern science; 2) to analyze the Buddhist peaceful means conducive to the development of prototype facilitative leaders for peace; and 3) to develop and present a model for the development of prototype facilitative leaders for peace by Buddhist peaceful means. The study employed research and development (R&D) method.
From the study, the following results are found:
1) The problems of facilitators nowadays reveal that the world is undergoing rapid structural or behavioral change in economics, society, the environment, and the Covid-19 epidemic, all of which have prompted society to embark on a learning process aimed at inner development and the foundation of the mind. All of this contributes to the development of human potential in terms of access to the truths, goodness, and happiness that are born of wisdom, awareness, and spiritual strength. This potential development can result from self-development, whether through training, the learning process, or real-world experiences. According to modern science, one role that can perform the learning process, potential development, and all learning facilitation is known as a 'facilitative leader.' However, the name usually causes confusion and lacks clarity in the role of a facilitative leader, including a lack of information on facilitative leader characteristics; as a result, developing the facilitative leader problems can be solved and improved by first improving the inner and outer characteristics of a facilitative leader in order to instill value in a facilitative leader before passing the values on to other individuals, organizations, and society for peace.
2) The Buddhist peaceful means conducive to the development of prototype facilitative leaders for peace include the development of peaceful inner characteristics of a facilitative leader based on Trisikkhā (the Threefold Training) comprising Adhisīla-sikkhā (training in higher morality), Adhicitta-sikkhā (training in higher mentality), and Adhipaññā-sikkhā (training in higher wisdom). The results will be demonstrate in Bhāvita (4 kinds of developed persons) including: outer development comprising Bhāvitakāya (one who has bodily development) and Bhāvitasīla (one who has moral development); and inner development comprising Bhāvitacitta (one who has mental development) and Bhāvitapaññā (one who has intellectual development). A facilitative leader will understand the principles for developing inner and outer characteristics through Buddhist peaceful means.
3) A model for the development of prototype facilitative leaders for peace by Buddhist peaceful means called F-A-M-S-U-K Model comprising mindfulness base, the development process based on Trisikkhā which are awakening, being mindful, and practicing. in the following 6 elements: (1) a facilitative leader; (2) forming attitudes; (3) building inner peace; (4) skills and tools; (5) an understanding of Buddhist peaceful means; and (6) the body of knowledge. All of which is implemented through activities The outcomes of a prototype facilitative leader for peace are awakening, moral behavior, mental stability, and honesty.
