Abstract
This paper explores the impact of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) on the study and practice of Theravada Buddhism in Myanmar. The advent of digital tools, including online learning platforms, virtual meditation retreats, and digital texts, has introduced significant changes in how Theravada Buddhism is taught and practiced. This study examines these changes through a review of literature, case studies, and interviews with practitioners and scholars in Myanmar. The findings suggest that TEL offers both opportunities and challenges, influencing the accessibility, engagement, and preservation of Theravada Buddhist teachings in a rapidly modernizing society.Keywords: Theravada Buddhism, Myanmar, digital tools, TEL, Society.
