human made. So we have to change values and as Dr. Seri said in the
beginning that we have to really make radical changes. We have to bring
about this radical change. To rethink about the whole process of how we

sufficiency, this Sufficient Economy would lead us unless we know
ourselves. So again we come back to the self and this evaluation and
understanding of ourselves is very much the root principle in Buddhism.
You can know the rest of the world. Internet allows you to have all the
facts and data of the world but no internet that you can click into that

Sufficiency never, can never be understood unless we have understood
“Self”.
ถ้าคาว่าพอเพียง มนไม่สามารถจะเปนความจริงไปได้ถ้าเรายงไม่ได้ร้จก
