Abstract
Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, a famous and highly respected Thai monk, introduced an enigmatic mind-control concept of Atammayata which was mentioned in the Buddhism teaching text or Tipaka since 1989 (Buddhadasa & Santikaro, 1989). The concept can be applied in the field of organizational development to enhance the effectiveness of self-change at individual and organizational level. The purpose of this paper is to review studies and teachings of Atammayata and identify the core ideas and the hidden value of the concept. As the Atammayata concept is still new, there are limited resources for diversity of the research. This paper provides comprehensive frameworks of constructs that link the findings to guidance for change practitioners. Future research can be explored on the empirical study of the proposed concept.
