Abstract

Funerals are one of the activities associated with and embedded in religious practices. In the three major sects of Buddhism, there are several different practices in burying the body, even though they refer to a single teaching or concept of death. This is interesting to discuss, considering that most religions worldwide use the same practice. This study explores how funeral practices are in the Buddhist tradition and what underlies these differences. Qualitative methods are adopted to answer these questions with a literature study approach. As a result, each Buddhist sect shows its uniqueness through reflection on Buddhism in general, which is not fixed on just one rigid teaching. For instance, the Sky funeral within the Vajrayāna tradition provides a perspective that humans are bound to nature. Giving bodies to birds and other animals signifies the strength of their bond. The practice of cremation in Theravāda is a way to release the physical remains left behind in the world. With this method, they can easily continue their next spiritual journey. At the same time, Mahayāna Buddhism describes a flexible perspective on religion and funeral practices. This study also suggests a more specific approach to looking at the complexity of funerals in Buddhism, especially in areas where Buddhism is a minority, such as Indonesia.

Abstract

The 2024 cyber crisis at Indonesia’s National Data Center exposed more than a technical malfunction—it revealed a moral rupture in the state’s handling of citizens’ sensitive information. Public debate largely revolved around infrastructure and economic losses, leaving unaddressed the ethical fragility surrounding what this study terms sacred data: information about religious identities, practices, and communal networks consolidated by the state. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and a relational ethics framework rooted in the Islamic notion of amanah, the article examines how technocratic governance has marginalized moral responsibility and silenced affected communities. Findings reveal that the incident gave rise to three interconnected risks: individual discrimination, erosion of communal autonomy through digital profiling, and geopolitical exposure, ultimately leading to data colonialism. These vulnerabilities point to a deeper failure of moral imagination—a crisis of amanah in the digital realm. The article argues that data must be reenvisioned as a sacred trust that links the state, society, and the divine. It concludes by calling for a transformation of Indonesia’s data governance toward an amanah-based ethics that restores moral agency, ensures digital sovereignty, and redefines the social contract between citizens and the state in the age of technocratic power.
