Abstract

Multiculturalism and pluralism stem from the development of people; nonetheless, human distinctions persist based on their patterns and ideas. Pancasila is the shield of Indonesia's culture, which is comprised of several tribes, ethnicities, and faiths bonded together by customs and culture. In the decades of the modern period, a lack of intercultural education, moral problems, and communal values have led to numerous cases. This study employs qualitative methodologies and descriptive qualitative analysis. The set of procedures includes data reduction, data presentation, data verification, and data interpretation. The contradictions in Menjing Village continue to be a political and ideological fight that undermines public trust. The strategies for sustaining sraddha bhakti in Menjing are enhancing social and religious capital via community empowerment, using the likelihood of the political society's processes, including the cultural factor as a rule for social and religious life, enhancing the structural dimension via the institution system, conducting programs for the advancement of religious education based on conservatism, the religious education system in Menjing, comprises components of religious education beliefs, religious practices in religious education, religious experience in religious education, religious knowledge as a means of bolstering the Hindu religious spirit, and religious education outcomes.

Abstract

The performance of Gamelan Ancag-ancagan in Aci Pangilen Dewa Yadnya in Kesiman shows the phenomenon of art in a unique and distinctive religious ritual. The struggle for aesthetic, mystical, and magical values in religious rituals that have the supreme dimension emphasizes the complexity of phenomena so that it is interesting to explore them in depth. This research prioritizes field studies by applying qualitative methods based on religious and cultural approaches. The results of this study indicate that the reasons underlying the performance of Gamelan Ancag-ancagan in Aci Pangilen Dewa Yadnya in Kesiman include ideological, magical-religious, aesthetic-religious, and sociological reasons. The form of the performance can be classified into two, namely the physical form as a sacred gamelan and the dynamic form as an accompaniment to religious rituals. The function of performance includes aesthetic, religious, and mystical function. The meaning of the performance is revealed from the specific symbols of this gamelan, namely the ancag-ancagan which symbolizes swadharma, the gegedig telu which symbolizes the Tri Loka, Tri Kona, and Tri Wisesa, and the laluangan which symbolize the movement back towards the Highest Reality. The main finding of this study is that Gamelan Ancag-ancagan is a sacred gamelan typical of Kesiman which is only used for Aci Pangilen Dewa Yadnya, not for other religious rituals, let alone profane activities.

Abstract

The fear of death is a fundamental existential issue that has been widely discussed in psychology, philosophy, and religious studies. This dissertation explores the phenomenon of death anxiety from the perspective of Buddhism, which offers a unique approach to understanding and overcoming the fear of death. Using a qualitative methodology, data was collected through in-depth interviews with 108 students from Nalanda Institute who study textual analysis of Buddhist scriptures, including the Sutta Pitaka, Abhidhamma, and Visuddhimagga. The research findings indicate that the fear of death in Buddhism is primarily rooted in attachment (tanha) and ignorance (avijja), which lead to suffering (dukkha). However, through practices such as mindfulness (sati), insight meditation (vipassana), and the cultivation of wisdom (panna), individuals can gain a deeper understanding of impermanence (anicca), thereby reducing their anxiety about death. Additionally, Buddhist concepts such as death, karma, and their implications in overcoming the fear of death play a crucial role in shaping attitudes toward mortality. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of meditation practices, the application of the Noble Eightfold Path found in the Sutta Pitaka, as well as an understanding of the nature of the mind as explained in the Abhidhamma and the path of purification (Visuddhimagga). With consistent practice, one can attain a state of inner peace in facing death.

Abstract

The spiritual life of Buddhists should ideally be based on a deep understanding of universal Buddhist teachings. In the context of Buddhayana, the spiritual life encompasses not only theoretical aspects but also practical appreciation of non-sectarian values, inclusiveness, pluralism, universalism, and belief in Sang Hyang Adi Buddha. This study aims to analyse the factors that make the Buddhayana perspective important in the spiritual practice of Buddhist clergy in the Indonesian Sangha Agung. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of a number of Buddhist clergy in the Indonesian Sangha Agung environment, then analysed inductively and thematically. The results of the study show that Buddhayana insights play an important role in shaping the personal transformation of clergy, encouraging dynamic and non-sectarian spiritual practices, and strengthening unity in the diversity of the sangha. This study confirms that the Buddhayana perspective is not only understood as a doctrine but also as an ethical conceptual framework that guides the spiritual practice and social role of clergy in a multicultural society. This study contributes academically to the study of contemporary Buddhism, particularly in the development of an integrative, moderate, and contextual model for clergy training.

Abstract

In contemporary society, digital culture has played a major role in transforming how people experience and express spirituality. The advent of online faith communities, virtual rituals, and digital preaching hints that religious experience is no longer exclusively reliant on local sacred spaces or established institutional authority. This article studies the phenomenology of virtual spirituality in complex digital culture by analyzing the novel transformations of agency, orders of authority, sacred-symbol systems, and affective religious experience. Using qualitative-analytical methods guided by a thorough literature review, supplemented by select secondary empirical studies, this analysis integrates the sociology of religion, symbolic anthropology, and digital religion studies. Four findings are central: (1) networked faith communities function as infrastructures of psychosocial-spiritual support, (2) digital ritual-devotional practice that reconfigure sacred presence mediations, (3) hybrid religious authority emerging from platform visibility-interaction, (4) recontextualization of sacred symbols through remediation-personalization in a "spiritual marketplace." These findings imply that virtual spirituality is not simply a technological adaptation and signal an ontological change in the production and negotiation of sacrality in digital ecologies.

Abstract

A name is not merely a personal label; it represents a complex symbol encompassing social identity, power relations, spiritual significance, and cultural unification. This article explores the role of names in Hindu communities in Bali and West Lombok through four key lenses: as markers of individual and social identity, as instruments for sustaining traditional hierarchies, as symbols of religious meaning and spiritual protection, and as representations of identity in the digital age. Utilizing a symbolic-cultural and interdisciplinary approach, the study demonstrates how names serve both cognitive and performative functions-shaping identity, reinforcing authority, and mediating between the seen (sekala) and unseen (niskala) dimensions of life. In the last decade, digital transformation has introduced new layers of meaning, as names increasingly operate as online identities through social media, localized scripts in domain names, and digital administrative platforms. Despite these changes, symbolic and spiritual meanings remain robust, supported by processes of cultural adaptation and innovation. The article concludes that the cultural significance of names in Bali and West Lombok reflects an ongoing negotiation between tradition and modernity, emphasizing the importance of symbolic interpretation and culturally grounded digital practices for heritage preservation.

Abstract

The secularisation of sacred art in Bali is marked by its performances in various profane spaces and times. Local government regulations have not been able to overcome this problem. Therefore, this study aims to reflect critically on Balinese cultural politics in responding to the secularisation of sacred arts by applying qualitative methods. Data was collected through document studies, namely three policies related to strengthening and protecting sacred art in Bali and analysed using a critical policy analysis approach. This research found that the three policy documents were fragmentary in relation to other discourses. The regulation is also not implemented consistently, especially in relation to tourism. Based on this critical reflection, policies regarding sacred art in Bali need to be developed with a strategic and conceptual thinking (CST).

Abstract

Technological developments are increasingly rapid, including in Buddhism in Indonesia. Sectarian differences are also increasingly apparent. Efforts are needed to teach common or cross-sectarian Buddhist values. The study of Early Buddhism is seen as promising but remains very limited in the Jabodetabek. There are no Buddhist Higher Education Institutions that teach it, and there are only two forums that focus on this study, namely DhammaCitta and the Early Buddhist Society of Indonesia. There is a significant gap: Why is this study still so limited and not developing despite the existing need? This study aims to (1) Analyze the factors causing the stagnation of Early Buddhism Studies in Jabodetabek; (2) Analyze the process of this stagnation; (3) Analyze the impact of stagnation on the development of Buddhism studies in Jabodetabek. This research is a qualitative case study conducted in Jabodetabek. Data collection used observation, literature review, and unstructured in-depth interviews, using purposive sampling. Data analysis used verstehen, data interpretation, and heuristics. Data validity was ensured through Mahapadessa parallelization and data triangulation. The study of Early Buddhism in the Jabodetabek area has experienced stagnation caused by eighteen factors, consisting of major factors: (1) Low interest, (2) Trolling and negative discussion, (3) Busyness / time constraints, (4) Lack of adaptation to technological developments, (5) The Indonesian Buddhist ecosystem, (6) The natural character of Early Buddhism, (7) Enforcement of rules, (8) Antipathy and rejection. And minor factors: (1) Lack of desire for expansion, (2) The Covid-19 pandemic, (3) Information overload, (4) Running out of discussion topics, (5) non monks-based community, (6) Forcing Early Buddhism, (7) Lack of competent teachers, (8) No formal organization, (9) emotional burnout, and (10) poor promotion. The stagnation process occurred through social exchanges within the two communities, which tended to involve negative emotions accompanied by various obstacles. This resulted in stagnation in the quality of dissemination, which led to a decline/ cessation of the role of all members as guardians of tradition. The impacts of stagnation on Buddhist Studies in Jabodetabek are: (1) Loss of clarity between early and later traditions, (2) Worsening the obesity of information, (3) Loss of the deradicalization process, (4) The occurrence of a cultural negotiation process that destroys the fundamental principles of Buddhism, (5) Hindering integration into formal education.
