Abstract

The purpose of this article was to present the application of buddhist educational managementin the dissemination of buddhism in the digital era. In the digital age, where technology plays a pivotal role in shaping daily life, the dissemination of Buddhism must adapt to societal transformations by integrating the principles of Buddhist educational administration with modern communication tools and digital technologies. The application of online media, mobile applications, and various digital platforms serves to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of delivering Buddhist teachings to diverse target groups. Utilizing digital media in the propagation of Dhamma such as blended learning, mobile learning, and gamification enhances learner engagement and fosters interest, particularly among youth and the younger generation. The development of interactive media, animated content, and educational games facilitates greater understanding of Buddhist doctrines in ways that align with the learning preferences of modern audiences. Furthermore, the creation of immersive learning environments through virtual reality (VR), along with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to personalize content for individual learners, represents a progressive approach to fostering continuous and in - depth engagement with Buddhist teachings. Learners can access Dhamma content anytime and anywhere, and mobile applications that support meditation, breathing exercises, and listening to Dhamma talks offer practical tools for mental cultivation and mindfulness development. In summary, the integration of Buddhist educational administration with digital technology is a crucial strategy for the effective dissemination of Buddhism in the 21^st century. This approach emphasizes accessibility, comprehensibility, and learner participation, thereby contributing to the holistic development of both intellectual and spiritual well - being in contemporary society.
