                       ti.” In English “they will be Vajjis! They will be Vajjis!” 106  The reason he uttered this
                       to the Lord Buddha is the Licchavī youths are rough, violent, and light-hearted which

                       do not take any matter seriously as immature adults, but now they are approaching to
                       the Lord Buddha respectfully. It means when the young generation approach to the wise

                       men and old wise people to gain some knowledge, the country or society will grow up
                       and receive some achievement soon. Certainly, there is no leader personality cult to the

                       wise men in Business and religious world. Therefore, even if there is no scholar or

                       expert in management of the country or organization the leader must invite them to
                       enter, discuss, exchange the idea with the citizen for the benefit of the country.

                                 No matter how one is a craftsman, a general of an army, business trader, a
                       head person of village, a king or a religious leader, if they can hold and practice these

                       five qualities or function, he or she will grow up and success. This sutta mainly beads

                       on loving kindness for the social life. As a great leader or king, must take care of his
                       parent,  support  his  wife,  children,  worker,  and  servant,  helping  the  neighboring,

                       honoring the oblational deities or traditional even, and respecting the wise men such as
                       ascetics and master with deeply in heart. Imagine this, even a wild animal, if one helps

                       him by heart, and loving kindness, as a reflection, he will love back and not harm its

                       owner, and also sometime he still can protect his owner and owner’s business too. By
                       applying these five functions, anyone can receive the loving kindness from the parent,

                       family, workers and servant, neighbor, deities, and wise and one will be successful.
                       Because kindness is reflecting like a mirror one to another.

                       Dhīgha-Nikāya, Mahāprinibbāna Sutta. This Sutta is one of the most significances

                       Sutta for the best norm of world leader. The lord Buddha was the leader of not only
                       Buddhism, and he was the leader of universe by universal truth. In addition, The Lord
