An Analytical Study of Experiential Buddhism for Development of Spiritual Well-being

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze Experiential Buddhism for Development of Spiritual Well-being. The research is qualitative in nature and involves content analysis and interviews with qualified individuals, followed by a narrative description. The research findings reveal that Experiential Buddhist philosophy involves a developmental process of intellectual well-being through the application of ethical principles. It encompasses the examination of one's own mind, self-understanding, and self-acceptance, leading to the attainment of enlightenment. This process encourages an open-hearted attitude, promoting active listening and understanding of the practices of others, including different groups and religions. It relies on suitable activities to foster a shared learning environment, which in turn promotes creativity, self-adjustment, cooperation, and seeking knowledge together. The new knowledge gained from research is the SATI MODEL, composed of S = Survey, A = Analysis, T = Tools, and I = Inner Transformation.
