502 ## - DISSERTATION NOTE
Dissertation note The Buddha's teachings on governance, which originated more than 25 centuries ago in India, remain timeless and applicable both in the past and in contemporary settings. The significance of the Buddha's governance principle lies in its approach to righteousness, which balances the authority of the ruler. From a Buddhist perspective, righteousness does not only provide practical benefits for preserving the law and justice in the country but also helps improve the spirituality of the ruler and people being ruled. Therefore, this independent study project (ISP) has presented the Buddha's governance principles in three categories fostering the finding of righteousness in the Buddha's governance principles. This paper has found that either the self-governing principle (attadhipati) or the worlds as a governing principle (lokadhipati) were rooted in the righteousness principles (dhammadhipati). Thereby, this paper has summarised that the Buddha fosters righteousness as the essence of his instruction on governance. However, this ISP only traces the Buddha's implication of righteousness in governing principles of his time; thus, further research on the application of righteousness in contemporary times.
