This article highlights five underexplored dimensions: the structural integration of MBSR into formal curricula, the neuropsychological mechanisms underpinning its educational impact, the digital and geographic accessibility challenges in Asian contexts, the absence of culturally adapted hybrid delivery models, and the lack of comparative analysis between MBSR and indigenous contemplative practices such as dhikr, vipassana, zazen, and samatha. Addressing these gaps is essential to develop culturally relevant, pedagogically sound, and scalable MBSR interventions for educational systems in Asia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8543,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of psychiatry","volume":"110 ","pages":"Article 104598"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144471288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
