The Four Noble Truths and the Management of Inclusive Education

Abstract

This article aims to propose the concept and application of the Four Noble Truths, the highest principles in Buddhism, to the management of inclusive education. The Four Noble Truths consist of Dukkha (suffering), Samudaya (the cause of suffering), Nirodha (the cessation of suffering), and Magga (the path to the cessation of suffering), which emphasize understanding causes and effects as they truly are. Applying these principles to inclusive education allows administrators, teachers, and educational personnel to systematically analyze and solve learning management issues consist of 1)Dukkha refers to recognizing and being aware of the problems within the inclusive education system, 2) Samudaya involves identifying the root causes of these problems, which may stem from a lack of resources or inadequate communication, 3) Nirodha focuses on finding solutions to these issues, such as improving policies or enhancing learning processes that address the diverse needs of students, and 4) Magga is the implementation of the solutions, ensuring sustainable outcomes. The article also provides concrete methods for applying these principles to improve the quality and effectiveness of inclusive education.
