Abstract

It is considered as the doctrine of the stability and development of the
family institution to have the noble living or Brahmacariya: a holy life.
One should restrain from Akusala-kamma: or unwholesome action viz.,
evil deed; bad deed and should have the Sanyama or Self – Control,
consisting within non-violence to oneself and others in the family and
society. In addition, one should develop the doctrine of Drama: taming and
training oneself and living with the heedfulness. The Sadàrasantosa can
be defined as the family action plan which can build up the warm family,
stability and peace.
