Abstract: Wisdom leadership development in temples, Findings were as: the management of religious activities is faced with many problems because of personnel, legality and other contexts related to society. A lack of a good leadership has caused Buddhist values in the community to decline. However, the management and care of temple property must be done to benefit Buddhism. Temple budget is a further problem. Consequently, temples lack equipment and there is inadequate regulation. The important roles of abbots are temple maintenance and  organization of religious activities. High levels of knowledge concerning temple management are a prerequisite for all abbots. The abbot has to use management strategy effectively, efficiently and for the prosperity of the temple.

Key words: wisdom leadership, personnel, legality
