Abstract

The number of Sasak followers of the indigenous beliefs on Tebango, North Lombok has shrunk significantly since 1965. The causes are complex yet principally it is external pressure to relinquish these traditions, often derogatorily labelled as ‘syncretistic, that has forced many Sasak to abandon their ancestral beliefs for one of the state-recognised religions. Nevertheless, the recent Constitutional Court Decision 97/2016, followed by the Circular Letter (2018) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Republic of Indonesia, prompts a re-examination and Revitalization of identity. The paper examines key aspects of this question relevant to contemporary discussions regarding the Tebango Buddhism beliefs. It explores the etymology of the word ‘syncretism’ and highlights the problematic use of the word in Indonesian Studies as reflecting European Orientalist perceptions of non-European cultures whose value judgements are no longer relevant. This paper argues that the dynamics and changes of Tebango Buddha is actually far more historically recent than often thought. Tebango Buddhism beliefs may be understood as the complex outcome of Lombok’s long and dynamic interaction with the wider pesisir world of the archipelago, notably Java during the time of the wali songo, which cannot be simplistically dismissed as ‘syncretism’. A better understanding of this history may contribute to contemporary religious education and community wellbeing in order that young Indonesian Muslims develop a more nuanced, and less biased, understanding of the extraordinary rich – and diverse – history of religion in Indonesia.

Abstract

Although the government issued an accommodative policy protecting and supporting minority communities, statistics has shown a decline in the number of Buddhism followers in modern-day Lombok, Indonesia. This ethnographic study aims to reconsider the existence of a cultural heritage that provides sustainable values to community development. This study seeks to understand how the vernacular Buddhism of Sasak Boda in Tebango manages to strive as the minority and live their belief amid the dominating Sasak Muslim community. Data was collected through literature review, interviews, and observation. Findings indicate that the decline of Boda devotees in Dusun Tebango of Lombok in number has been affected by the public perception of the vernacular Buddhism movement. Despite such a reality becoming an anomaly in the discourses related to cultural heritage preservation, the Tebango Buddhists are capable of maintaining the tradition through customs that are tangible and intangible. This case signifies a premise that quantitative measurement alone is insufficient to study the sustainability of a local belief system such as the Sasak Boda. Consequently, this study argues that the state of maintainability and materiality of any culture act as determinant factors in the empowerment of locality-based communities.

Abstract

There has been intense debate over whether local practices and social engagement effectively contribute to da’wah and participatory community development. Referring to the study of a Puspakarma manuscript from Lombok, coded Gallery-50B Ciputat, the paper sheds light on the local socio-religious values that form the collective memory of Muslim Sasak communities on the island. It further argues that these values offer potential for participatory socio-religious development. The broader context of Sasak culture, as evident in the nineteenth-century Puspakarma text, provides a wider umbrella for the interpretation of elements of the manuscript’s content and message. Data analysis employs Mead’s Symbolic Interactionalism using a person-in-environment model from the perspective of Islamic Community Development. The main findings of the study are that the collective memory of ethnic Sasak Muslims recognizes the supreme being, God, and cooperative social interactions as key to community harmony, just as respect for the ancestors and nature also ensures happiness. All of these views influence community well-being. Furthermore, the author’s analysis demonstrates that each of these components found in the Sasak environment shapes the growth and development of the individual and their worldviews. This research offers fresh insight into how local development may contribute to closing the gap between cross-cultural policy and practice in Lombok and elsewhere.
