COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACCORDING TO APARIHANIYADHAMMA

Abstract

          This academic article aims to study and present a community development approach based on the principles of Aparihaniyadhamma (principles of non-decline) to build strength and sustainable growth in communities. By applying these principles, the main goal is to provide a guideline for prosperity and prevent decline. This study involves collecting and analyzing concepts and theories from various academic documents and textbooks. The analysis reveals that Aparihaniyadhamma emphasizes participation, unity, respect for rules and regulations, and the preservation of valuable cultural traditions. This not only fosters harmony and reduces conflict within the community but also builds strong social resilience. As a result, community members can live together peacefully and drive stable and sustainable community development.
