Efektivitas Konten Dhamma Melalui Tiktok Dalam Peningkatan Pemahaman Dhamma Remaja Buddhis Di Vihara Bodhi Santi Kabupaten Jepara

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Dhamma coaching programs delivered through TikTok content at Bodhi Santi Vihara, Jepara, in improving Buddhist youths’ understanding of Dhamma. This qualitative case study employed data triangulation through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that TikTok is effective in increasing awareness and understanding of practical aspects of Dhamma, particularly Sīla (morality) and Kamma (law of cause and effect). However, the platform is less effective in facilitating deep comprehension of philosophical aspects such as Paññā (wisdom), which require reflection and elaboration. This study recommends a Blended Dhamma Strategy to integrate digital reach with spiritual depth
