Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the Krayathip Rice Stirring Tradition as appeared in Buddhism; 2) to study the dynamics of the Krayathip Rice Stirring Tradition of the Pak Chong Subdistrict community, Lom Sak District, Phetchabun Province; 3) to analytically study the dynamics of the Krayathip Rice Stirring Tradition of the community. This study was carried out by means of qualitative research and fieldwork research to interview 30 key informants. The obtained data were interpreted by descriptive analysis. The research results were as follows: Krayathip Rice Stirring Tradition as appeared in Buddhism: the idea of making Krayathip Rice originated from selecting rice of two Kuṭambī brothers: Mahākala and Culakāla, who cooked wheat for the monks with the Buddha as their president. Choosing cow's milk originated from the idea from Sujādā's story of making Madhupāyasa rice for the Bodhisattva by selecting milk from 8 dairy cows out of 1,000 cows. The dynamics of the Krayathip Rice Stirring Tradition of the Pak Chong Subdistrict community, Lom Sak District, Phetchabun Province: the Krayathip Rice Stirring of community in Pak Chong sub-district was influenced by Buddhist teachings to build faith among the villagers. The people of the Pak Chong sub-district have chosen to take the end of the Buddhist Lent day to offer as a sacrifice and welcome the Lord Buddha who had left the Buddhist Lent in Tāvatiṁsā Heaven, considered as a sacrifice or food that is noble and has great merit. The analysis of the dynamics of the Krayathip Rice Stirring Tradition of the Pak Chong Subdistrict community, Lom Sak District, Phetchabun Province: the villagers have brought sticky rice instead of wheat and fresh milk or canned condensed milk from Bear Brand or Jasmine Brand instead of cow's milk. Social dynamics and traditions have resulted in learning traditions that are unique in the area. Cultural dynamics have resulted in an exchange of ideas, and readiness to work with other communities. Environmental dynamics have resulted in an adjustment of processes or methods in consistence with the popularity of society. Lifestyle dynamics lead to the participation of people in the community as well as bringing the principles of Buddhism to be integrated into the rituals such as the Brahmacārī ordination
