Abstract

This study examines how Buddhist, Balinese Hindu, and Christian communities in Indonesia address contemporary challenges, including youth identity crises and environmental degradation, through spiritual teachings and practices. Using a mixed-method approach, this research draws on interviews with religious leaders, observations of faith-based environmental initiatives, and questionnaire surveys targeting a younger generation. Findings reveal that while youth struggle with digital dependency and moral disconnection, religious traditions offer grounded pathways for identity formation and ethical behavior. In Buddhism, mindfulness and digital engagement are vital features. Balinese Hinduism fosters a sense of belonging through ritual and ecological participation. Christianity addresses spiritual disconnection through stewardship and self-discipline. Each faith frames environmental responsibility not merely as a civic duty, but as a sacred act integrated into daily worship and community life. This study concludes that interfaith collaboration and educational integration of spiritual values can empower youth to live with clarity, resilience, and ecological awareness, contributing meaningfully to a sustainable and morally grounded society.
