Abstract

This academic article aimed to examine the application of the “Three Wisdom Principles”, Pañña 3 from Buddhism to contemporary policy decision-making processes. Current policy decision-making faces challenges of information abundance but lacks appropriate frameworks for knowledge utilization. This study proposed the application of the Three Wisdom Principles from Buddhism, namely, Sutamaya-pañña, wisdom from earning/studying, Cintamaya-pañña, wisdom from learning/study, and Bhavanamaya-pañña, wisdom from practice/meditation, as a conceptual framework for enhancing the quality of policy decision-making. Knowledge integration requires connecting knowledge from multiple sources, including academic knowledge, experiential knowledge, and local wisdom, through processes of information gathering, synthesis, analysis, and ethical decision - making. The application of the Three Wisdom Principles facilitated comprehensive decision-making through: studying data and listening to stakeholders, Sutamaya-pañña, reducing bias and systematic thinking, Cintamaya-pañña, and fostering ethical leadership through reflection on consequences, Bhavanamaya-pañña. The study found that quality knowledge must be integrated with ethics, and effective decision-making cannot emerge from data alone without deep consideration and mindful awareness. Therefore, developing quality policy decision-making systems should employ the Three Wisdom Principles as a foundational framework alongside establishing information systems, participatory mechanisms, and good governance.
