This paper explores the role of public administration in promoting sustainable Buddhist-based community development in Thailand, highlighting the integration of Buddhist principles such as compassion, interdependence, and mindfulness into public policies. The research examines how these values can enhance the effectiveness of public administration in addressing critical issues such as social fairness, environmental sustainability, and community engagement. By focusing on collaboration between government, local communities, and Buddhist organizations, the paper outlines strategies for achieving long-term community development that respects cultural traditions while advancing modern sustainability goals. Case studies and examples of successful projects demonstrate how Buddhist teachings can shape public administration practices and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable society. The study emphasizes the importance of participatory governance, community involvement, and the application of Buddhist ethics in fostering societal resilience and environmental care.
