The desirability of consequences: the results showed that most Thai
people desired consequences which were self-actualizing, offering security in
life, and were good for society. These desired consequences are universally

desirable according to Maslow’s basic needs.
All the desired consequences showed the influences of Buddhism upon

the way of living of Thai people. As Buddhadasa (1974) stated his formula for
morality in our lives in this world will be happy and free from worry because we
have no attachment to things as “mine”.
Thai people belief in destiny of subjects: The findings showed that most
Thai people believed in destiny. They believed that a person who did good things,
would receive good results. In other word they believed that good consequences
would follow good behaviors.

They also believed that people would be punished if they did bad things.
This belief has a strong influence upon the way of living of Thai people. Thai

people, no matter whether rich or poor, give away things for others in order to
gain better living in the future or even in their next lives.

strong problem they face is how to overcome temptation and behave in ways in
which they believe.

way would cover the implications that result following treatment. This will be
more beneficial for patients.
