Abstract

This research examines the influence of Metta Bhavana practice in improving mental health among the congregation of Jakarta Dhammacakka Jaya Sunter Monastery. The aim is to understand the role of Metta Bhavana in the spiritual life of the congregation, which makes it an important part of their religious practice. This research uses a qualitative approach with William James' theory of religious experience and contextual pragmatism. James' theory focuses on how individuals experience and interpret spiritual experiences, while pragmatism evaluates the benefits of practices based on practical effects in daily life. These two theories were used to analyze the impact of Metta Bhavana on the mental health of the community, including personal, emotional, and social aspects. Data were collected through field observations and interviews with seven resource persons: a monastery administrator, a bhante, and five congregants. The results showed that Metta Bhavana helped the community to overcome various mental health problems arising from life issues such as failure, household disharmony, and future anxiety. The meditation practice was shown to reduce stress, improve mental well-being, and strengthen social relationships among community members. Metta Bhavana has a positive impact on the personal, emotional, and life-transforming aspects of the community, in line with William James' theory. This research can serve as a basis for developing broader meditation practices to support the mental and spiritual health of congregants.

Abstract

This article examines the relationship between the Church and poverty by analyzing the social response of the Santo Barnabas Catholic Church in Pamulang Timur to urban poverty. Poverty is understood not merely as economic deprivation, but as a social phenomenon shaped by structural inequality, limited access to education, health, and economic resources, as well as unequal social relations in urban settings. This study employs a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with parish priests, members of the Social and Economic Development Section, social ministry volunteers, and observations of church-based social programs. The findings reveal that the Santo Barnabas Catholic Church addresses urban poverty not only through charitable assistance, but also through sustainable empowerment programs in education, health, and community economic development. This social response is carried out through organized and institutionalized church engagement aimed at strengthening social solidarity at the community level. These practices reflect the Church’s role as a social actor implementing reflective and contextual faith-based activism grounded in Catholic Social Teaching. The article highlights the significant contribution of the Church in responding to urban poverty and fostering social solidarity within a plural urban society.
