Abstract

This research aims to explore the Buddhist attitude towards loss and to examine the integration of Noble Eightfold Path as therapy for coping with loss. This research adopts library approach conducted using content analysis as the primary method for data interpretation. Following Miles and Huberman’s analytical model, the process consists of four stages: data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing and verifying conclusions. Data were collected from both primary sources, including the Pali Canon and its commentaries, and secondary sources, such as scholarly books and journal articles accessed via Google Scholar. The research findings revealed that: 1) Loss and separation from the loved one are inevitable experiences of human life, and Buddhism considers it as a kind of suffering (piyehi vippayogo dukkho); 2) The Buddha identified the path leading to cessation of this suffering is through Noble Eightfold Path, consisting right view (sammādiṭṭhi), right thought (sammāsaṅkappo), right speech (sammāvācā), right action (sammākammanto), right livelihood (sammāājīvo), right effort (sammāvāyāmo), right mindfulness (sammāsati) and right concentration (sammāsamādhi). The path is called as Middle Way (majjhimā paṭipadā), avoiding two extreme practices: self-mortification and sensual-indulgence. This teaching is effective in reducing the risk of self-indulgence and self-destructive behavior caused by emotional turmoil when facing loss. The Noble Eightfold Path (ariya atthaṅgika magga) can be used as a way for coping with loss, presenting the way to adopt the proper attitude when facing the loss and to manage the negative emotions.

Abstract

Learning difficulties experienced by students become obstacles to the optimal implementation of the learning process. Appropriate and effective teacher strategies are therefore needed to address the learning challenges faced by students. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the strategies applied by Buddhist Religious Education teachers in assisting students who experience learning difficulties at the elementary school level at SD Negeri Getas. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design to gain an in-depth understanding of the background of the problems and challenges faced by students in the learning process. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of teachers and students who face various learning difficulties, including supporting and inhibiting factors in the learning process. The results indicate that the teachers implemented various learning strategies to overcome students’ learning barriers, which successfully reduced passive attitudes and increased student participation in the classroom. The problem-based learning (PBL) strategy is relevant in encouraging students to think critically and actively ask questions. The discovery approach helps overcome reading and writing difficulties, thereby increasing students’ motivation and self-confidence.
