Buddhist education in Indonesia faces structural and cultural challenges that threaten its sustainability, such as declining student numbers, limited human resources, and minimal funding. This study aims to develop a Buddhist education management model based on Dhamma principles (Paññā, Sīla, Viriya) integrated with a contemporary strategic approach. Using descriptive-qualitative methods and a literature study approach, this article examines primary data from Buddhist texts and secondary sources from academic literature. The main findings suggest that strengthening value-based management can strengthen the position of Buddhist schools as transformative institutions in shaping character and wisdom. This article makes a theoretical contribution by proposing a Dhamma-based strategic framework that is applicable in the Indonesian context.
