BUDDHIST ETHICS AND POLICY IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

This article is a study about “Buddhist ethics and policy implementation”. Implementing a policy or transferring a policy to practice is the implementation of what has been determined in the work of the government sector to create results for the people. At present, the government has set a policy to be a digital government. Therefore, there must be changes from within, both from the legal framework and the policy framework, that will require government agencies to upgrade the quality of services to a digital government. External pressures and challenges are also important factors that must be accelerated to develop faster. In every step related to policy implementation, both at the macro and micro levels, every agency from the ministerial, ministry, and department level to the people must have the intention to practice seeing results. It must have honesty, consisting of physical honesty, good conduct with the body, verbal honesty, good conduct with speech, and mental honesty, good conduct with the mind. Must act as a person who works with dignity, not seeking improper or undue benefits or seeking personal benefits from performing duties by using influence, power, duties and responsibilities to create personal benefits and have adverse effects on the agency, which is called a conflict of interest. To protect the government's interests, the government's interests must be protected in the administration and spending of the national budget efficiently and economically. Maintain government assets in good condition and provide maximum benefit. To maintain righteousness and legitimacy, we must adhere to the principles of righteousness and legitimacy according to the principles of good governance in our conduct and the performance of all our duties.
