Abstract

This research presents a systematic literature review (SLR) on the application of Buddhist mindfulness in an educational context. Using a meta-synthesis approach and the PRISMA protocol, this study analyzes 19 selected scholarly articles from the Dimensions database. The analysis reveals that Buddhist mindfulness plays a significant role in reducing psychological stress, improving mental well-being, and supporting both students' and educators' academic and socio-emotional capacities. Its implementation takes various forms, ranging from integration into curriculum and pedagogy and specialized training programs to contextual adaptations that are sensitive to local culture and values. However, its application faces challenges such as secularization (McMindfulness), religious sensitivity, limited resources, and variations in research methodology. Successful implementation is highly dependent on mindful leadership, adequate teacher training, and the creation of a safe and inclusive environment. This review highlights the need for future longitudinal studies, an integrated approach between policy and practice, and the development of authentic and locally relevant mindfulness models to achieve a holistic and sustainable educational transformation.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of mindfulness practice and self-affirmation on the psychological well-being of orphaned children at the Buddhayana Vidyalaya Foundation in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 62 participants. Due to dormitory-based institutional arrangements, female children (n = 32) were assigned to the experimental group receiving mindfulness and self-affirmation interventions, while male children (n = 30) served as the control group. This non-equivalent grouping should be interpreted cautiously because gender differences may confound the treatment effects. The intervention was delivered in six online sessions via Zoom. Simple regression analysis showed that mindfulness (R² = 0.347, p < 0.001) and self-affirmation (R² = 0.405, p < 0.001) were individually associated with psychological well-being. However, in the multiple regression model, only self-affirmation remained a significant predictor (β = 0.587, p = 0.035), whereas mindfulness was not significant (p = 0.168). Although the model explained 44.5% of the variance, the practical impact was minimal (Cohen’s d = 0.049). The limited effect may be related to the short intervention duration, online delivery, and varying participant engagement.
