This study aims to analyze the influence of self-discipline and burnout (Thīna-Middha) on active participation in religious activities among Buddhist adolescents aged 15–18 in Central Java. The approach used is quantitative with a survey method, and the sampling technique is cluster sampling. The instrument used is a semantic differential scale questionnaire to measure self-discipline, burnout, and active participation. Data analysis is performed using multiple linear regression to determine the influence of each variable on active participation. The results show that self-discipline has a positive and significant effect on active participation in Buddhist religious activities, while burnout has a negative and significant effect. These two variables contribute 41.1% to active participation in religious activities. These findings highlight the importance of self-discipline as a factor that drives active participation, as well as the negative impact of burnout on adolescents' involvement in religious activities. The implications of this study can be used as a basis for designing more effective and targeted programs for Buddhist adolescents, considering the factors of self-discipline and efforts to mitigate burnout. These programs need to be tailored to the spiritual and psychological needs of adolescents to enhance their active participation in religious activities.

Discipline is a fundamental characteristic that supports student learning success. However, at the UPT SMPN 2 Galesong Selatan, high rates of lateness and irregular student behavior are still found, so an in-depth study of the school's role in fostering such discipline is needed. This study aims to understand school dynamics, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate effective strategies for improving disciplined behavior. Using qualitative methods and an interpretive phenomenological approach, data were obtained through interviews, 14 days of observation, and documentation review. Then, they were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. The research findings indicate that coordination between the principal, vice principal for student affairs, guidance counselor, and student council president has a significant contribution to fostering student discipline. The micro-skills-based counseling program and the “Discipline Challenge” activity initiated by the student council have proven effective in increasing student compliance. The main obstacles that still arise include low parental involvement and increased teacher fatigue during the final lesson period. Based on these results, the study concluded that the implementation of teacher rotation on duty, the use of digital behavioral contracts, and strengthening the role of the Student Council (OSIS) are relevant and sustainable strategies in efforts to improve student discipline.
