This study investigates how Buddhist meditation provides Yogyakarta’s youth with a culturally hybrid approach to mental health within Indonesia's diverse religious landscape. Conducted in 2023-2024 at Karangdjati Vihara, this ethnographic research utilizes teacher-student dialogues as a primary data source, with the researcher—a meditation teacher trained in Thai, Burmese, and Indian Theravada traditions—facilitating focused meditative practices. The findings reveal that many young participants are motivated by well-being needs, with some referred by mental health professionals due to psychiatric concerns, while others engage due to limited access to psychological services. Buddhist teachings, especially the Abhidhamma as a form of Buddhist psychology, resonate with predominantly Muslim youth, signifying a process of religious bricolage. Mindfulness and the Four Noble Truths are central themes. The findings illuminate a post-pandemic shift toward "lived identity" and individual spiritual agency, positioning meditation as a resource for navigating identity and cosmopolitan spirituality in a pluralistic society.
