This qualitative descriptive study examines the role of the Pa Auk Tawya Vipassana Dhura Hermitage Beji meditation center in preserving Buddhist teachings in Wonoharjo village. Data were collected from December 2021 to May 2022 through observation, interviews, and documentation with meditation teachers, administrators, participants, and local community members. The center actively preserves Buddhism through programs such as meditation retreats, Dhamma talks, online and offline meditation training, Dhammayatra, Pindapatta, and webinars. These activities enhance participants' Saddha (faith) in Buddha Dhamma and awareness of meditation's importance, contributing to the long-term preservation of Buddhism for future generations.
