Conclusions
Our Human Environment in the Six Directions includes those who are the most influential in our lives
Principles of Social development
When a seedling first sprouts its germinal shoot is undifferentiated
The Process of Engendering Responsibility
The problem is that no person is a perfect exemplar of all the qualities of a True Friend. It is therefore necessary to have tactical friendship starting with those around us
Underlying Objective of Dividing Society into Six Sectors
No-one in the world is perfect. Therefore we must know how to interact with the different social groups around us in order to pick up the positive core values we lack from them
1. The Parent-Child Relationship # 1
The first and most important factor in influencing social development is the quality of the relationship between parents and their children
1.The Parent-Child Relationship # 2
The said proper upbringing can be measured in terms of the fulfillment of five parental responsibilities to a child
1.The Parent-Child Relationship # 3
Training them in virtue: The first ‘good friends’ to each and every one of us in the world are our parents or guardians. As such
1.The Parent-Child Relationship # 4
Having them taught the arts and sciences: Education is the gateway to knowledge and wisdom for a child
1.The Parent-Child Relationship # 5
Arranging for their marriage to a suitable apouse: As if giving all manner of basic needs and education is not enough, children even expect parents to give approval (or otherwise) when in doubt about who to marry
1.The Parent-Child Relationship # 6
Passing on their heritage to them in due course: In non-Buddhist countries, where social values dictate that sons and daughters shouldn’t expect to look after their parents in their old age
2. The Student-Teacher Relationship
The second important factor influencing social development is the quality of the relationship teachers have with their students
3. The Husband-Wife Relationship
A third important factor influencing social development is the quality of the relationship between husband and wife
4. The Relationship Between Friends
The fourth and most important factor influencing social development is the quality of the relationship between friends
5. The Boss-Employee Relationship
The fifth important factor influencing social development is the quality of human relationships in the workplace-some thing we measure in terms of the fulfillment of reciprocal responsibilities between employer and employee-duties collectively referred to as the ‘nadir’ [hetthimadisa]
6. The Relationship between Spiritual Mentor & Devotee
The sixth and final important factor influencing social development is the quality of the relationship between clergy and their congregations
