It was the quasi-experimental research by means of one group trial. The equipment used consisted of a set of tests, a set the satisfaction measurement patterns and a set of the behaviour observation patterns. The statistics employed in analyzing data were comprised of frequency, percentage, mean or average and standardized derivation. The research results revealed that : 1. The learning effectiveness of the 9 monk/layperson students answering the questionnaires showed that 00.00% of them succeeded in learning at a very good level; 55.56% of them at a good level; 33.33 of them at a fair level and 11.11% of them at an improved level 2. The satisfaction of the students after their having employed the innovation was on the whole at a great level with the mean (X̅) at 3.59 and with its standardized derivation (SD) at 1.010. However, when each number of them was considered, it was found that the number with the highest average was 4, that is, in terms of the knowledge and skill in teaching, it had the mean (X̅) at 3.74 with its standardized derivation (SD) at .875 followed by the number 1 dealing with passing on the good knowledge with its mean (X̅) at 3.73 and with its standardized derivation (SD) at .996. In terms of the subject matter integration involved in teaching, it had the mean (X̅) at 3.64 with its standardized derivation (SD) at .812. As for the knowledge and skill in preparing the subject matter for teaching, it had the mean (X̅) at 3.42 with its standardized derivation (SD) at .963 and in the context of the personal quality, it had the mean (X̅) at 3.42 with its standardized derivation (SD) at 1.402 respectively. 3. The results of analyzing the learning behaviour of the students were found that they showed their behaviour towards learning the usage of the Buddhist terminology in support of studying Buddhism in an increasing way after their usage trial, which contributed to the higher knowledge and understanding based on the research hypothesis determined.
