Abstract

This academic article entitled ‘Paradigm of Jataka: Administrative Leaders’. It obviously showed that the governance is the administration of rules and law, law registration doing for enforcement, care, protection. The government is divided into two types: dictatorship and democracy. Jataka details the story of the Bodhisattva. The rule in the Jataka has been seen as authoritarian dictatorship by considering the voice of the people and uphold the virtues, correctness, and goodness as the main features. It pays more importance to the ruler than the government system- the ruler must hold on to morality and wisdom because the governing leader and his environment are close related. If the governing leader is virtuous, then any problem will not allow to happen. The governor must be a good model to show his gratitude to the natural environment in which he lives, dare to choose the right decisions for problem solution that arise urgently, having knowledge, prudence, and aware for any thought, not shaken by rumors. This virtuous governing leader who can combine the prosperity of the country with the invisible power- the responsibility.
