<![CDATA[Sedulur Papat Limo Pancer is an ancient cosmological teaching of the Nusantara that continues to be embraced by Javanese and Balinese communities, including among transmigrants. This study aims to explore the understanding and practice of Sedulur Papat Limo Pancer among Javanese-Hindu and Balinese-Hindu transmigrants in the Toili region, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi. A qualitative approach was employed, using theories of cultural change and religion as the analytical framework. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, with informants selected purposively. The findings reveal that Balinese-Hindu transmigrants recognize four types of Sedulur Papat: Kanda Pat Rare, Kanda Pat Bhuta, Kanda Pat Sari, and Kanda Pat Dewa, whereas Javanese-Hindu transmigrants do not classify them in such specific terms. The practice of this teaching encompasses spiritual and ritual activities, such as cultivating compassion to foster inner peace and harmony in life; ritual practices include offerings (sesajian), weton fasting, melek/jagra (night vigil), and meditation (manekung).]]>
