              This research consists of 3 objectives, namely: - 1) to study the principle of kind reception in Theravada Buddhist scriptures, 2) to study the Dhamma principles related to kind reception in Theravada Buddhist scriptures, 3) to analyze the principle of kind reception in Theravada Buddhist scriptures. It is a documentary research by studying the Pali canon, Commentary and key Buddhist scriptures.

              The findings show that there are 2 types of kind reception (paṭisanthāra), namely: - 1) Worldly kind reception (Āmissa-paṭisanthāra), 2) Doctrinal kind reception (Dhamma-paṭisanthāra). Worldly kind reception refers to the act of welcoming guests with materials consisting of humility, reverence, and worship with four necessities: the three robes, alms food, shelter, and medicine including worship with offerings, flowers, and perfumes. While doctrinal kind reception refers to welcoming by giving Dhamma or Dhamma discussion. The Buddha offenly welcomed his disciples including Venerable Sāriputta, Mahā Moggallāna, Ānanda, and Anuruddha with doctrinal kind reception. Kind reception is related to the principles in the Theravada Buddhism scriptures, namely the four brahmavihāra principle, the four saṅgahavatthu principle, and paricāka is charity.  These are the principles related to worldly kind reception. As for the principles of the five aggregates, the six elements, including the earth element and the consciousness element as the end, anupubbikathā, and the Four Noble Truths, these are the principles related to Doctrinal kind reception. The principle of kind reception in Theravada Buddhist scriptures can be analyzed by its two types: 1) Principle of worldly kind reception: Saddhivihārika should treat the preceptor with respect by serving closely, preparing water for consumptions. When he was sick, saddhivihārika would provide nursing care and service until he recovered. Antevāsika should serve, respect and pay homage to the teacher. When he was sick, he would provide nursing care and service until he recovered. Bhikkhu and bhikkhunī should practice kind reception with the king by offering the desired shelter items. They should treat their relatives by giving them material things. Help them when they are in trouble. Bhikkhu and bhikkhunī should practice kind reception with the thieves by offering food, water, and residential shelters as appropriate. 2) Principle of doctrinal kind reception: Bhikkhu and bhikkhunī should speak and impart Dhamma to Buddhists who come to their residence and those who wish to listen to the Dhamma including helping them by giving advice to find solutions to problems based on the principles of the Buddha.
