Abstract

This study began from the existence of friendship groups in the student dormitory that are often formed based on ethnicity or regional background. This condition can make relationships among residents less close and create social distance if not properly managed. A dormitory should be a place to learn to live together in diversity; therefore, the role of the dormitory head is very important in maintaining harmony within it. The purpose of this study is to understand how the dormitory head plays a role in overcoming ethnic differences at the Nalanda Institute Student Dormitory. The research used a descriptive qualitative method with three data collection techniques: (1) observation, by directly observing the activities and interactions of students in the dormitory; (2) interviews, conducted with the dormitory head and six students to explore their views about differences in the dormitory; and (3) document study, by reviewing documents related to dormitory life. The results show the dormitory head strives to foster harmony through various collective activities, utilizing two main strategies: educating students about the importance of cross-regional friendships and establishing collaborative multi-ethnic groups. The second strategy is considered more effective in practice because it is based on active social contact, which aligns with the principles of Saraniyadhamma in Buddhism and Allport's theory of intergroup interaction. At the student level, ethnic differences can be managed through open communication, cooperation, and strengthening the values ​​of togetherness in dormitory life.

Abstract

Buddhist meditation plays a fundamental role in cultivating concentration, mindfulness, and wisdom. Nevertheless, drowsiness (thīna-middha) remains one of the most common obstacles that diminishes the effectiveness of meditation practice. This study aims to analyze the strategies implemented by the administrators of Nalanda Cetiya to address drowsiness during meditation classes at Nalanda Institute. A qualitative case study design was employed. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with meditation administrators and participants, and document analysis, followed by thematic analysis involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that drowsiness arises from both physiological factors, including fatigue and insufficient rest, and psychological factors, such as declining alertness and boredom during meditation sessions. The strategies adopted include changing from sitting meditation to walking meditation, improving body posture, strengthening mindful breathing, washing the face, and allowing adequate rest when physical exhaustion becomes unavoidable. These findings indicate that effective management of drowsiness requires an integrated approach combining physical readiness with the cultivation of mindful awareness in accordance with Buddhist principles. The study contributes practical insights for improving meditation class management and strengthening meditation training programs in Buddhist educational institutions.
