| Summary: | This study aims to unravel the intricate mechanisms that intertwine non-attachment, sense of coherence, and happiness, employing the lens of the Buddhist framework, emphasizing virtue-meditation-wisdom. 123 undergraduate students participated in the study through an online survey utilizing purposive sampling. Results revealed support for a complementary model, indicating that the impact of non-attachment on happiness is not solely direct but is also indirectly influenced by the sense of coherence. These results suggest that cultivating non-attachment contributes to an individual’s enhanced ability to comprehend problems and utilize resources effectively to navigate challenges meaningfully, ultimately leading to an increased experience of happiness. |
