Abstract

This article presents the results of a cultural reflection conducted over the past four years (October 2021 to early 2025) through research on Sesolahan Rêjang Kuno at Pura Luhur Batukau. Employing the epoche phase of Husserlian phenomenological methodology alongside the sahådaya–sahådayasamvàda approach derived from the Nāṭyaśāstra's rasa theory, qualitative data were systematically collected, analyzed, and validated through triangulation techniques. The study identifies factors facilitating transcendental experiences, outlines the processes by which transcendence occurs, examines its psychological impact on the dancers, and explores the theological frameworks of the supporting community and the cosmological context of Pura Luhur Batukau. Findings indicate that this transcendental potential remains largely unrecognized by both dancers and the community, as the performance of the Rêjang dance tends to be oriented primarily toward fulfilling ceremonial completeness (jangkep). This study therefore serves not only as a source of insight but also as a proposed solution for enhancing collective energy toward transcendence. More broadly, it offers a framework for the revitalization of ancient Sesolahan traditions in other regions and provides conceptual inspiration for the development of modern agricultural technologies grounded in traditional and even ancient agrarian civilizations, such as that flourishing on the southern slopes of Mount Batukau. Transendensi Pemujaan Ratu Hyang Tumuwuh di Balik Rangkaian Sesolahan Rêjang Kuno Pura Luhur Batukau Abstrak Artikel ini merupakan hasil refleksi budaya setelah empat tahun terakhir (Oktober 2021, sampai awal 2025) melakukan penelitian terhadap Sesolahan Rêjang Kuno Pura Luhur Batukau. Didukung penerapan tahapan epoche teori fenomenologi Husserlian dan metode sahådaya-sahådayasamvàda teori rasa Nāṭyaśāstra, diperoleh data-data kualitatif yang di analisis secara verstehen, kemudian diuji validitasnya melalui trianggulasi data berdasarkan waktu dan sumber data. Kesimpulan bermakna menarasikan tentang; faktor-faktor pendukung terjadinya transendensi, proses terjadinya, berikut dampak transendensi terhadap kondisi psikologis penari, prinsip teologis masyarakat pendukungnya, dan kondisi kosmologis Pura Luhur Batukau. Selama ini potensi tersebut belum disadari sepenuhnya oleh para penari maupun masyarakat pendukungnya, sehingga pelaksanaan setiap Rêjang lebih terkonsentrasi pada tuntas atau ‘jangkep’nya upacara. Oleh sebab itu, temuan ini menjadi informasi sekaligus solusi bagi peningkatan energi kolektif atas proses transendensi. Pada ruang lingkup lebih luas, dapat memotivasi pelestarian Sesolahan kuno di daerah lain, juga inspirasi bagi perkembangan teknologi agraris moderen berbasis peradaban agraris tradisional bahkan kuno, seperti peradaban agraris pegunungan di lereng selatan Gunung Batukau.

Abstract

The pañcatathāgata statues at Candi Bubrah are functionally valuable in the large structure of the temple as a maṇḍala. The symbolic and semiotic dimensions of the pañcatathāgata archaelogical artifact at Candi Bubrah, which represent the objects of meditation in the stages of achieving Buddhahood, need to be studied. This research aims to describe the doctrinal reasons behind the presence of the pañcatathāgata in Candi Bubrah; analyze their function in meditation practices; and explain the significance of these function for the achievement of Liberation. Peirce’s trichotomy relations analysis and Strauss’s structuralism approach with qualitative methods are used to examine the material objects of this study. The pañcatathāgata at Candi Bubrah serves as a guide in practicing Buddhist meditation. The meditative functions of the pañcatathāgata statues, each with its own characteristics, as objects of meditation for the development of tranquility, are as follows: Akṣobhya, representing the bhūśparsa mudra, the east, the blue element, the vajra symbol, the physical element, rejection, mirror-like knowledge; Ratnasambhava, with the varada mudra, the south, the yellow element, the jewel, perception, arrogance, knowledge of equality; Amitābha, reflected by the samādhi mudra, the west, the red element, the lotus, the forms of the mind, greed, knowledge of differentiation; Amoghasiddhi, with the characteristic of the abhaya mudra, the north, the green element, the viśvavajra, the knower, jealousy, knowledge of attainment; and Vairocana, with the dharmacakra mudra, the center, the white element, the wheel, feelings, misunderstanding, knowledge of what is. The meditative functions of the pañcatathāgata statues, which represent mental qualities, significantly lead someone to Liberation.
