This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a Buddhist meditation retreat combined with mindful living education in enhancing mindfulness and compassion among students in Palembang City, Indonesia. Using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups, the research selected 120 students from a population of 170 through the Slovin formula. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups across junior and senior high schools. The experimental group attended a structured retreat that combined traditional Buddhist practices, such as mindful breathing, insight meditation, and loving-kindness meditation, with mindful living activities inspired by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings, including cultivating awareness in daily routines, deep listening, and compassionate communication. Data were collected using researcherdeveloped questionnaires. Results showed that the experimental group experienced significant improvements in mindfulness and compassion, whereas the control group displayed minimal changes. Baseline equivalence was established, and post-test comparisons consistently favored the experimental group. These findings suggest that culturally grounded mindfulness programs can foster emotional awareness and prosocial behavior in youth. Practically, the study encourages educational institutions to adopt mindfulness interventions and recommends further research with broader populations, validated instruments, and long-term evaluation.

This study is motivated by the dominance of conventional methods in Senior High Schools, which shows the need for an innovative approach to learning. CATRA is designed as a multidimensional projection instrument to present the Four Noble Truths (Cattari Arya Saccani) material to create a more interactive and motivating learning environment. The methodology applied is research and development (R&D), with data collection procedures including observation, interviews, literature studies, and validation. The validation results from media experts, material experts, and Buddhist religious education teachers showed a very high level of feasibility, with a total score of 334, an average of 4.4, and a percentage of 88%. Based on these parameters, CATRA is classified as "Very feasible" and should be implemented in learning in senior high schools. Statistical analysis using the Paired Sample T Test showed a significant difference between learning outcomes before and after the use of media, with a calculated t value (-8.428) smaller than the t table (-2.2009) and a P value (0.00) smaller than 0.05. These findings indicate the effectiveness of CATRA in improving students' understanding of the material being taught. The significant difference between the average pre-test and post-test scores validates the positive impact of this learning media. Based on the study's results, further studies are recommended to explore the development of similar media for other learning materials to expand the scope and improve the effectiveness of educational innovation in a broader learning context.

Through the use of AI technology, the study focuses on finding out the relationship between AI and students' ability to argue. The approach used in this research is quantitative with correlational methods. Research results show that AI in learning can be a significant catalyst for the development of critical and analytical thinking skills. Students engaged in learning environments using AI showed an improvement in problem-solving, information-analysis, and critical thinking skills so that their ability to argue improved. In addition, learning efficiency, and motivates the learners to reach their maximum potential. This research contributes to an understanding of how AI in education can have a positive impact on the development of argumentation skills. The practical implications of these findings can open the door to the development of more effective and personalized learning strategies in the future, creating a responsive and adaptive educational environment.

regarding pluralism and the implications of the Buddhayana concept of
pluralism for the relations between internal sects of Buddhism and other
religions. Pluralism is an idea or method that recognizes and
appreciates diversity within a community or country. This means
recognizing that there are different viewpoints, values, beliefs, and
cultures that can exist within it. Pluralism seeks to encourage tolerance,
respect differences, and promote cooperation between diverse groups.
This research uses library research and interviews which focus on
figures from the Buddhayana Council as primary data, as well as related
books as secondary data sources. The approach used is a sociological
approach, which includes the concept of institutional structure as a
conceptual tool. Its function is to integrate relationships and interactions
within a social community. The concept of pluralism offered in
Buddhayana values in dealing with the issue of plurality is the concept
of active harmony. Namely the concept of coexistence with stronger
associations and mutual appropriation from various traditions, schools
of thought and sects in Buddhism. With the aim of showing the
importance of avoiding grouping, sectarianism and forms of division.
