Application of Buddhist Dharma Principles from the Dasajataka to Promote the Growth Mindset of Educational Administrators the Era of Change

Abstract

This article aims to present a growth-oriented framework in the Buddhist context, involving the creation of a space for learning, skill development, and adaptation to respond to the era of change. It is essential for navigating through changes flexibly and achieving success in this challenging era. The development of a growth mindset will be beneficial in building an organization capable of adapting to continuously changing environments. Buddhist philosophy is referred to as the "middle way" and is considered a distinctive virtue of the Enlightened Being, reflecting the values of being a "complete human." Presented in the ten perfections, Buddhists believe these virtues are outstanding and demonstrate the development of oneself to lead a normal and happy life in society. Applying the teachings of the ten perfections to a growth-oriented framework in the era of change is highly significant due to the rapid and diverse nature of contemporary transformations. Developing a growth mindset helps promote skill development and learning, creating a flexible environment and preparing teams to adapt to ongoing changes. In the current challenging situation, presenting a growth-oriented framework in the Buddhist context has an impact on creating organizations that are ready to face changes flexibly and have the ability to adapt. Developing a mindset framework enables us to see opportunities, look ahead, create hope, and dream to find a way to make those dreams successful. Problems and obstacles that arise are merely life's passages that everyone must encounter.
