Abstract
This article presents the application of the Seven Qualities of a Good Friend (Kalyanamitra) from Buddhism to educational administration to create a quality learning society. The study finds that the seven qualities of Kalyanamitra, namely Piyo (lovable), Garu (respectable), Bhāvanīyo (admirable), Vattā (able to speak effectively), Vacanakkhamo (patient with speech), Gambhīrañca kathaṃ kattā (able to explain profound matters), and No caṭṭhāne niyojaye (not leading in unwholesome ways) can be effectively applied to educational administration. The article analyzes the integration of the Kalyanamitra principle with modern educational administration theories and presents guidelines for application in rapidly changing situations. The results indicate that administrators possessing the seven qualities of Kalyanamitra can build good relationships with personnel, stimulate personal and professional development, and promote an organizational culture conducive to learning, leading to sustainable educational quality development. The integration of Buddhist principles with modern educational administration thus presents a potential approach for developing Thai education in the 21st century.
