Abstract

Family life is the main concern to mold the next generation and the future of the family. The existence of the family is sometimes hampered due to parenting and communication that is not done properly in the family. The subject of this problem discusses the parenting style of children in family life and communication strategies to form children who are suputra. The method used in this study is qualitative analysis with a phenomenological approach and a relational dialectic analysis knife. The findings of this study are the types of (a) authoritarian parenting, (b) democratic parenting, (c) permissive parenting, (d) situational parenting.  The parenting style applied by parents has a profound impact on the formation of their children's character. The approach to relational dialectics emphasizes the importance of open and constructive dialogue between parents and children. Parents are not only the authority that gives orders, but also partners in the learning process and growth of their children. Parents can help children develop problem-solving and decision-making skills that are essential for facing life's challenges. The education provided by parents to children should be oriented to the needs of children as biopsychosocial-religious beings and use methods that are in accordance with the development of children, both their physical-biological development, their psychological development, social development and the development of their religiosity. Communication strategies that can be built are Setting a Positive Example, Talking About Moral Values, Giving Praise and Reward, Gently Giving Direction and Correction, Talking About the Consequences of Actions, Setting Clear Rules and Boundaries, and Making Time for Family Quality.

Abstract

The Ramayana, a revered Hindu epic, offers profound insights into leadership through its Asta Brata principles. These principles, rooted in moral and spiritual values, outline essential qualities for effective leadership. Sri Rama, depicted as an avatar of Vishnu and an exemplary leader, embodies virtues such as truth, righteousness, humility, and courage. Asta Brata emphasizes key aspects of leadership. Economic empowerment ensures leaders promote the material well-being of their followers while maintaining fairness and justice. Empathetic leadership encourages seeing followers as cultured individuals deserving spiritual fulfillment, not just subordinates. Steadfastness (Bayu Brata) in principles and empathy towards followers' struggles are crucial. Knowledge excellence (Casi Brata) stresses leaders' need for superior understanding to guide communities effectively. Inspirational motivation (Agni Brata) ignites dedication among followers towards collective goals. In today's globalized world, these teachings remain relevant. They provide a timeless framework for ethical leadership in education and organizational management. Integrating Asta Brata principles enables leaders to foster societal progress while preserving moral and spiritual values amidst technological advancements. Overall, Asta Brata from the Ramayana guides leadership excellence with integrity and wisdom. It serves as a beacon for navigating contemporary challenges, contributing to holistic community and national development. Thus, embracing these principles ensures leaders not only lead effectively but also inspire and empower others towards collective prosperity and well-being.

Abstract

The fear of death is a fundamental existential issue that has been widely discussed in psychology, philosophy, and religious studies. This dissertation explores the phenomenon of death anxiety from the perspective of Buddhism, which offers a unique approach to understanding and overcoming the fear of death. Using a qualitative methodology, data was collected through in-depth interviews with 108 students from Nalanda Institute who study textual analysis of Buddhist scriptures, including the Sutta Pitaka, Abhidhamma, and Visuddhimagga. The research findings indicate that the fear of death in Buddhism is primarily rooted in attachment (tanha) and ignorance (avijja), which lead to suffering (dukkha). However, through practices such as mindfulness (sati), insight meditation (vipassana), and the cultivation of wisdom (panna), individuals can gain a deeper understanding of impermanence (anicca), thereby reducing their anxiety about death. Additionally, Buddhist concepts such as death, karma, and their implications in overcoming the fear of death play a crucial role in shaping attitudes toward mortality. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of meditation practices, the application of the Noble Eightfold Path found in the Sutta Pitaka, as well as an understanding of the nature of the mind as explained in the Abhidhamma and the path of purification (Visuddhimagga). With consistent practice, one can attain a state of inner peace in facing death.

Abstract

This article explores the intersection of the putrikā provision in Hindu law and the sentana rajeg practice in Balinese customary law through the lens of gender equality in inheritance. Putrikā, as articulated in the Manava Dharmasastra, legitimizes the appointment of daughters as heirs in the absence of sons, preserving both lineage (gotra) and religious duties. Likewise, sentana rajeg enables daughters to assume hereditary roles within Balinese adat, including through nyentana marriages. This study applies a normative legal methodology incorporating conceptual, historical, and statutory approaches. It finds that both legal traditions, despite their patriarchal foundations, contain adaptive mechanisms that acknowledge female inheritance under certain conditions. These mechanisms reflect a legal pragmatism oriented toward maintaining familial and spiritual obligations. From a modern human rights perspective, these customary norms require reinterpretation to align with principles of substantive gender equality. Strengthening women’s inheritance rights not only promotes justice within traditional societies but also reinforces the legitimacy and adaptability of customary law in a globalized context. The article argues for collaborative legal reform involving customary authorities, state institutions, scholars, and civil society to create inclusive, equitable inheritance frameworks that respect both tradition and contemporary gender norms.

Abstract

Religious pluralism in Indonesia is not only a sociological reality, but also a challenge in building inclusive and sustainable social relations. This article critically examines the dynamics of religious pluralism in the context of Hindu society in Singaraja City, North Bali, with a focus on the forms of social interaction between Hindus and other religious communities such as Islam, Christianity, and Buddhism. With a sociology of religion approach and the theoretical framework of Durkheim's functionalism, Blumer's symbolic interactionism, and Diana Eck's theological pluralism, this article offers a reflective reading of the practice of interfaith coexistence in urban social and cultural spaces. The results of the study show that Hindu society in Singaraja tends to internalize local wisdom values such as Tat Twam Asi , Tri Hita Karana , and the principle of desa kala patra as an ethical basis for establishing interfaith relations. The social relations formed are functional, both in the form of social cooperation, participation in interfaith activities, and involvement in formal forums such as FKUB. However, the ongoing pluralism still faces a number of challenges, including symbolic segregation, inequality of participation in political and social spaces, and interfaith dialogue that has not yet reached the grassroots level. This article argues that constructive pluralism demands more reflective, participatory, and equal social relations, not only through narratives of tolerance, but through strengthening inclusive social structures and recognizing diversity as social capital. Thus, the context of pluralism in Singaraja is not only relevant as an object of local study, but also as a micro model in understanding the dynamics of social integration and religious identity in Indonesia more broadly.

Abstract

This study investigates the local knowledge represented in the performance of the Rejang Wastra dance, which forms an integral part of Hindu religious ceremonies in Demulih village, Susut subdistrict, Bangli regency, Bali. Respected by the local community, this sacred dance embodies profound symbolic, functional, and philosophical meanings. Using a qualitative approach based on the exploration of traditional dance characteristics, the study reveals two main forms of local wisdom. The first finding shows that the dance represents the traditional market practice before ceremonies, symbolizing interdependence and ritual preparation. The second finding indicates that it illustrates stages of human life in Hindu philosophy, portraying a spiritual journey from birth to unity with the divine. Both meanings express the Balinese concept of Tri Hita Karana, emphasizing harmony among humans, God (Parahyangan), nature (Palemahan), and society (Pawongan). Overall, Rejang Wastra is not only a ritual dance but also a living medium that transmits local knowledge and ethical values, preserving cultural wisdom within Balinese society.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the strategy in maintaining the existence of the Nava Dhammasekha Virya Guna school in Jepara Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study at Nava Dhammasekha Virya Guna School, Jepara Regency. Informants consist of the Head of the Foundation, the principal, one teacher, one education staff, one community leader and one representative of the student's parents. Data collection uses observation, interviews, and document studies. Data validity is in the form of credibility, dependability, transferability, and confirmability. Data analysis uses an interactive model. The challenges in maintaining the existence of the Nava Dhammasekha Virya Guna school can be seen from three current challenges such as; 1) The brand and image of the Dhammasekha school which is not yet strong in the community, 2) Limited segmentation and market, 3) Support from the community and stakeholders which is not yet optimal. This research will be useful for the Government, especially Direktorat Jenderal Bimbingan Masyarakat Buddha Kementerian Agama, Nava Dhammasekha School Organizers and Education Observers.
