Abstract

The story of the past life of Buddha Gotama has become one of the most important discussions in Buddhist philosophy. The stories of his life are recorded in the Pāli Canon mainly in the Jātaka texts (birth stories of the Buddha). Jataka stories have obtained popularity in ancient times in Buddhist countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand and even Indonesia. Its reputation which appeared in many Jātaka stories is being put into Buddhist art and architecture. In Indonesia, Jataka stories are found among reliefs on the walls of Candi Buddhist, such as Candi Sojiwan, Mendut and Borobudur. However, at present time there are no books that try to discuss Jātaka story carved on the walls of these temples thoroughly and systematically. This research tries to identify reliefs of Jātaka found in three Candi that are located in Central Java namely Candi Sojiwan, Mendut and Borobudur. The theory used in this research is Semiotics theory of Charles Shanders Pierce. This theory is used to interpret the signs contained in the reliefs of the Candi by using triangle of meaning ie., interpretants (researchers), objects (reliefs on the three Candis) and signs. Within the sign there are three things being analized namely icons, indexes and symbols. In relation to the icon, the researchers identify the images on the relief as they are. Then, in indexes, the researchers interpret images that have been identified in accordance with the existing context. For example, the icon that reveals the images of humans, crowns, and jewelry show that someone who wore the crown and jewelry was identified as a high standing one or even a king. Because these three Candis are Buddhist temples, the symbols given are of course tend to be of Buddhist context. When certain reliefs are identified to have represented certain Jātaka stories, they are considered objects that symbolize the Jātaka story. In this research there are 109 panel reliefs from three Candis that have been successfully studied. Among 109 panel reliefs there are 38 panels indentified as representing Jātaka stories. In Candi Sojiwan, 20 panel reliefs are found, but only 8 panels have been identified as telling the story of Jātaka. From 45 panels, 15 panel reliefs in Candi Mendut have been found to represent the Jātaka story. Meanwhile, 230 panel reliefs in Borobudur temple are then reduced to 44 panels and 15 are successfully identified to have links to Jātaka stories.

This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis involves three stages: data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The data sources for this research are primary data, obtained from interviews with informants such as Buddhist religious instructors and youth in Tegal Maja Village, and secondary data from journals, village documents, popular books, and social media related to the issue being studied. The results of this research indicate that the religious moderation attitude among the younger generation has been well-implemented. This is due to the significant contribution of Buddhist religious instructors, who have played a major role in enhancing religious moderation attitudes among the youth in Tegal Maja Village.

Abstract

There are still many people who think that the Buddha is God or a Prophet, Buddhists worship idols. This is due to a lack of a correct understanding of the Buddha's personality. This research aims to describe textual information and answer some questions related to the personality of the Buddha based on the Buddhist holy book, namely Tipi?aka. The research uses a qualitative approach from various Tipitaka literature, journals, and books that are by the topic of discussion. The concept of omnipotence is the origin of the emergence of God. God is understood as the principle of limitation and gives limits to actuality. The Buddha was born in Northern India, lived a life of learning from learned teachers and attained enlightenment by understanding and realizing the Four Noble Truths. Then from then on, he became a Buddha. The Buddha taught the Dhamma to his disciples (gods and humans) and founded a community known as the Sangha. Buddha has qualities that distinguish him from other human beings, namely three knowledge, six superpowers, and ten powers. The concept of God in Buddhism is not personified and Buddhists are more focused on attaining Nibb?na.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the mental condition of Buddhists in North Lombok after the 2018 earthquake and analyze the role of monks in strengthening the mental health of the community. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis is conducted through data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. Data sources consist of primary data from interviews with monks, priests, and affected communities, as well as secondary data from books, journals, and relevant online sources. The results of the study show that Buddhists in North Lombok experienced psychological disorders such as stress, trauma, anxiety, and post-disaster sleep disorders. In this situation, the monks were actively present to provide spiritual support through Dhamma lectures, meditation practices, individual counseling, and social-religious activities. Their role is not only to entertain or comfort, but also to facilitate recovery and strengthen the inner strength and psychological resilience of the community. In conclusion, the role of monks is very important in helping the community cope with the psychological impact of disasters. They are not only conveyors of religious teachings, but also spiritual companions and facilitators in building mental resilience through a holistic spiritual, social, and psychological approach. The presence of monks is a key factor in the recovery process, leading the community towards a more stable, peaceful, and hopeful life.

Abstract

In this context, the values of simplicity in Buddhist teachings offer an alternative for living a more balanced and mindful life. This study aims to analyze Buddhist values of simplicity that are relevant to addressing consumerist lifestyles in the digital era and to describe their application in daily life. The method used is a literature study with a content analysis approach. Primary data were obtained from the Tripitaka scriptures, particularly the Vinaya Pitaka and Sutta Pitaka, while secondary data were sourced from books, journals, and other scientific literature. The results of the study show that Buddhist values of simplicity, such as contentment (santuṭṭhi), few desires (appiccha), self-restraint (indriya saṃvara), and minimalist living (na bahulika), are effective solutions to reduce consumerist behavior. These values foster inner balance, reduce dependence on external validation, and cultivate mindfulness in consumption decisions. In conclusion, Buddhist teachings on simplicity provide both practical and philosophical guidance for individuals to face consumerist lifestyles reinforced by technology, enabling a more peaceful, meaningful, and sustainable way of life.
