Abstract
This dissertation has three main purposes, namely 1) to study the water dangers in the
Buddha’s time 2) to study the Buddhist methodology of relieving the suffering from water in the
Buddha’s time and 3) to study the ways to lessen people’s suffering from water in Thai society.
From the research findings, it was found that in the Buddhist Scripture, the water
is called ‘Apo-dhatu’, one of the six elements in human body. The combination of these
elements generate energy for life. In Buddha’s time, drinking water was full of small living
things and dust, waste water was full of dirty things, the water was stagnant at the living
quarters of the monks. Sometimes there were floods and others droughts. The Buddha
enacted disciplinary rules: monks are to filter water before drinking, not to excrete, urinate
or spit into water or on the greens. He told people to observe the precepts, not to fell trees
or destroy forests so as not to cause the droughts and floods. When there was flood at the
monks’ dwelling, he allowed them to raise the ground level and construct the drainpipes.
The ways to lessen the people’s sufferings from water in Thai society were as
following: the government had the water supply available, advised people to filter water
before drinking or drink water from the registered standard water bottles, made the Bueng
Phra Rama IX as a drain area, built water treatment factories for waste water, made the
royally-initiated artificial rainfalls to relieve droughts, the ministry of agriculture and
cooperatives organized projects for tree-planting in permanent forests in honor of HM
the King to prevent disasters from droughts and floods, the B.E. 2554 flood victims
received help from the government relief centers and Mahachulalongkornrajavidya’s
project.
The Buddhist principles for reducing the suffering from water disasters such as the
Four Areeyasacca , the Threefold Learning, the gratitude to nature and the carefulness,
all of which can bring happiness and safety to society and people who practice them.
