502			_aAbstract This ISP project explores the integration of Buddhist meditation practices among Shan youth students in Shan state, Myanmar, focusing on the CBY school in Laikha and the Loi Long parahita school in Taunggyi. It examines how daily meditation sessions, integrated into their educational routine, positively impact students' cognitive, emotional, and ethical development. Drawing from interviews with 56 students, it reveals that meditation enhances concentration, memory, empathy, and resilience. Furthermore, it advocates for the wider incorporation of meditation into educational curricula and community-based programs to promote holistic well-being among youth. The essay also delves into the principles of Buddhist meditation, including Samatha and Vipassana, and discusses their comtemporary adaptations such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). Overall, it underscores the transformative potential of meditation in fostering personal growth, resilience, and societal harmony among Shan youth and beyond. _bPostgraduate Diploma _cShan State Buddhist University _d2024
