Abstract

Abstract‘Borotan’ is a Batak Tobanese vocabulary meaning “stake”, to which an animal is tied before being sacrificed in a traditional Bataknese ceremony. ‘Borotan’ physically looks like a simple piece of wood but it bears a profound interpretation and has become an important part of reconstructing the religious aspects of the ancient Bataknese. Thus, this writing aims at explaining the religious importance of ‘Borotan’. The religiousness being discussed here is its interpretation of form and function in the religious activity in the past and present. Inductive reasoning is expected to produce an answer to the problem question through the analysis of the observed variables. The observation results show that the Bataknese try to communicate with the divine power in the ceremony to create two-way communication, vertically and horizontally.AbstrakBorotan merupakan istilah kosa kata Batak Toba yang berarti kayu pancang, tempat hewan diikat sebelum dikurbankan dalam sebuah tradisi upacara adat Batak Toba. Secara fisik borotan terlihat sebagai kayu biasa saja, namun secara pemaknaan sangat dalam dan menjadi bagian penting dalam usaha merekonstruksi aspek religi masyarakat Batak masa lampau. Maka tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk menjelaskan bagaimana borotan dilihat dari aspek religiusitasnya. Religiusitas dalam hal ini adalah pemaknaan borotan terkait bentuk dan fungsinya dalam aktivitas religi masyarakat Batak masa lampau dan hingga terkini. Melalui kerangka pikir induktif diungkapkan jawaban atas permasalahan tersebut dengan menganalisisnya berdasarkan variabel pengamatan yang dibuat. Dari hasil pengamatan dapat disimpulkan bahwa masyarakat Batak berusaha mengadakan komunikasi dengan kekuatan adi kodrati sehingga dalam kegiatan upacara terjadi hubungan dua arah yaitu secara vertikal dan horizontal.

Abstract

AbstractLocated at the delta of Batang Kuantan river in Kuantan Sengingi, Riau, Padang Candi has indicated traces of the past Śrīwijaya Hindu-Biddha cultures through a series of researches from 2010 to 2013. A number of researches on Śrīwijayan Buddhism theories and concepts, the findings of golden inscription plates with Buddhism mantra along with the discovery location at the site, and other archaeological findings have strongly suggested the site of being not only Buddha Mahāyāna sanctuary, but also as a Ma ṇḍ ala, a settlement of priests community.AbstrakPadang Caṇḍi merupakan sebuah situs arkeologi yang terletak di hulu Sungai/Batang Kuantan, Kuantan Sengingi, Riau. Dari hasil penelitian sejak tahun 2010 hingga 2013 situs ini mengindikasikan adanya jejak kegiatan masa lalu di masa pengaruh kebudayaan Hindu Buddha khususnya di masa Śrīwijaya. Melalui telaah teori dan konsep dalam keagamaan Buddha masa Śrīwijaya, adanya temuan lempengan prasasti emas bertuliskan mantra Buddha dan komposisi letak temuan di area situs, sertaberbagai temuan-temuan arkeologi lainnya, memberikan dugaan kuat bahwa situs ini tidak saja sebagai sebuah tempat suci agama Buddha Mahāyāna, tetapi juga berfungsi sebagai Maṇḍala yaitu permukiman komunitas agamawan/pandhita.
