The Moralities, CEO in Mahakapi Jataka Atthakatha

Abstract

This article aims to study Mahakapi Jataka Atthakatha (Commentary to Tripitaka) as a contemporary Jataka that depicts moralities of “leaders” or “CEO.” “Sappurisa Dharma 7” or qualities of a good man comprises 7 virtues which are “Dharmannutta” knowing the cause, “Atthannuta” knowing the purpose, “Attannuta” knowing oneself, “Mattannuta:” knowing how to be moderate, “Kalannuta” knowing the proper time, how to choose and keep time, “Parisannutà” knowing the society,and “Puggalannuta” knowing the individual. “Sappurisa Dharma 7” is the teaching of prominent moralities that help enhance leadership and perfect leaders. The analysis and interpretation of Mahakapi Jataka Atthakatha results in making the Jataka as “contemporary media” that readers can take the qualities of leadership that Bodhisattva had practiced as a role model for them to apply in their living.
