In the evolving landscape of Education 5.0, which emphasizes personalization, empathy, and humanistic values, the integration of mindfulness and moral education becomes increasingly vital. This conceptual paper explores how foundational principles of Eastern philosophies—drawn from Buddhism, Vedanta, and Jainism—can enhance moral development, emotional regulation, and student-centered environments. These philosophies emphasize inner awareness, self-discipline, compassion, and non-violence, aligning well with the goals of modern pedagogies by fostering moral clarity, critical thinking, and ethical consciousness. Mindfulness practices rooted in the East go beyond stress relief; they cultivate ethical reasoning and reflective habits that nurture integrity and emotional balance in learners. Drawing on literature, theoretical underpinnings, and contemporary research, this paper examines how these practices offer transformative tools for educators to create mindful, morally grounded, and inclusive learning spaces. The paper also discusses relevant classroom strategies and modern applications, making a compelling case for embedding these timeless values into 21st-century education systems to prepare students not only for careers but for conscious and compassionate living
