Abstract: This research aimed to: 1) study transformational leadership based on the Four Sublime States of Mind (Brahmavihara) among administrators in private educational institutions under the Khon Kaen Provincial Education Office; 2) propose developmental guidelines for transformational leadership based on the Four Sublime States of Mind for these administrators. The study employed a mixed-method research approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. For quantitative research, data were collected using a questionnaire with a reliability score of 0.98. The sample included 336 school administrators and teachers. Statistical analysis employed frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. For qualitative research, data were collected through interviews with nine key informants, selected purposively to ensure consistency and validity.Findings were as follows: 1) Transformational leadership based on the Four Sublime States of Mind: the overall implementation of transformational leadership based on the Four Sublime States of Mind by administrators in private educational institutions was found to be at a high level. Among the four principles, the highest practice was observed in equanimity (Upekkha), followed by compassion (Karuna) and sympathetic joy (Mudita), with loving-kindness (Metta) being the least practiced.2) Guidelines for developing transformational leadership: (1) administrators should support work with loving-kindness, fostering success among staff and sharing a vision while effectively imparting knowledge to subordinates. (2) Administrators should assist subordinates when challenges arise, identify solutions that lead to improvement, build confidence, and regularly offer praise and encouragement. (3) Administrators should provide career-advancing advice, assign tasks appropriately, and create a positive work environment. (4)Administrators should demonstrate understanding, maintain impartiality during challenging situations, and show equal attention to all staff members.
