The Digital World and Adolescent Focus through Mental Health Therapy: Buddhist Wellness Innovation

Abstract

The objective of this academic article is to raise awareness of the impact of the digital world on adolescents’ concentration and mental health, as well as to promote the practice of meditation as a means of psychological therapy. The integration of digital life, meditation, and mental healing among adolescents through Buddhist wellness innovation serves as a process for both preventing and alleviating depression from secular and spiritual perspectives. The principles of Buddhism, particularly meditation (samādhi) and mindfulness (sati), have been applied in therapeutic contexts and integrated with psychological principles to reduce risk factors for depression. The counseling process based on Buddhist psychology emphasizes the importance of mental resilience, which refers to an individual’s ability to strengthen and develop the mind. The most effective way to enhance mental resilience is to promote personal transformation through the cultivation of constructive thinking patterns and creative problem-solving approaches. Adolescents learn to live with confidence and self-esteem even under difficult or stressful circumstances. This process strengthens their psychological endurance, enabling them to cope with pressure and adverse life situations effectively. Such adaptive capabilities foster positive adjustment and maintain good mental health. Ultimately, the practice of meditation and the use of mindfulness as therapeutic tools provide adolescents with a new pathway toward balanced and meaningful living in the digital age.
