Abstract

Religion on the one hand is a way to find true happiness on the basis of love, peace, guarantor of safety, moral guidance for all mankind. However, it is not uncommon that in the name of religion it also causes human suffering, triggers conflicts, wars, and various other sufferings that  are  born  from human  beings in  the  name  of  religion.  Therefore,  this is certainly counter-productive to the principles of religion which contain noble teachings by prioritizing humanity, peace, love and so on. Therefore, inter-religious dialog must be prioritized, in order to create harmony and peace among human beings. This research seeks to find the common ground of religions through qualitative methods and phenomenological approaches. The results of this study show that an inclusive attitude in religion can be realized  through  the  Trilogy  of  Harmony,  namely  1)  Interfaith  Harmony,  2)  Internal Harmony  of  Religious  Believers,  and  3)  Harmony  between  Government  and  Religious People. Furthermore, religion as a social construction process must be able to act as a moral guide for every human being. In principle, religion is expected to be able to guide global ethics, because there is no world peace without interfaith peace, and there is no interfaith peace without interfaith dialog. Also, interfaith dialog starts from 1) parliamentary dialog, 2) institutional  dialog,  3) theological  dialog,  4)  dialog  in  community  life,  and  5) spiritual dialog.

Abstract

Ogoh-ogoh is a typical Balinese activity that can be found once a year. Ogoh-ogoh is characterized as a sculptural artwork resembling a creepy creature’s image as it symbolizes bhuta kala as an evil entity. Balinese people celebrate the ogoh-ogoh parade, burn them to avoid negative influences and continue life with silence and positivity in the Saka New Year (Nyepi). Ogoh-ogoh is also a tradition that attracts attention because it is displayed with the splendor and beauty of stunning artwork. Of course, it reflects the behavior of Balinese people, whom residents of Banjar Untal-Untal also celebrate. The purpose of this research was to analyze the actions and solidarity of Balinese people regarding ogoh-ogoh in Banjar Untal-Untal from the perspective of the sociology of religion. This research method was qualitative with a case study design. The researcher collected data through interviews and observation. This research showed that the preparation, making, and implementation of ogoh-ogoh exists because of the involvement of people who act in solidarity. Max Weber’s theory of social action and Emile Durkheim’s theory of social solidarity had relevance to the ogoh-ogoh parade. In social action and solidarity, religious adherents, specifically Christians and Hindus, synergized and supported each other.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the ontological status of God in Calon Arang Manuscripts and interpret it metaethically. Calon Arang, as an original Tantric literary work from the Nusantara's ancestors, is an interesting subject to examine in terms of its ontological view of God and the ethical implications that arise from it. Tantrism essentially conceptualizes God dualistically, depicting God in conflicting forms or elements, which are considered the cosmic basis of the world. This study highlights such dualistic tendencies and identifies potentially significant metaethical implications. An in-depth analysis is conducted utilizing a metaethical approach, specifically the school of natural determinism. This school believes that the moral laws that apply in human reality are in accordance with natural laws, so humans cannot determine objective morality with certainty. The ethical implications of God's ontological status in Tantric teachings are understood as a result of this natural determinism. This research places God's ontological status as the material object and uses natural determinism as the formal framework. Research methods include description, holistics, deduction-induction, and heuristics. With this approach, this research seeks to detail and unravel the complexity of the ontological view of God in the Calon Arang Manuscripts, while exploring the ethical implications that can bring a deeper understanding of this Tantric text.

Abstract

Various sources of yoga literature that are still relevant today are used by yoga practitioners and academics in developing this realm of logical and practical thinking, such as: Vedanta, Bhagavad Gita, Siva Samhita, Yoga Vasista, Goraksasatakam, Gheranda Samhita, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Sutra Patanjali, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabrata and various Balinese local wisdom belonging to the Sivaistik lontars. These sources of yoga literature make yoga not only traceable through its practical aspects but also allow for a search of the philosophical aspects of yoga implied in these literary sources so that yoga academics and practitioners can increase their knowledge and understanding of the scope of yoga teachings. This study aims to analyze the depth of the philosophy and practice of yoga contained in the Siva Samhita. The theories used are the theory of philosophy and semiotic theory. This study uses the method of collecting documents and literature. The data analysis technique was carried out qualitatively by describing it descriptively. The results of this study indicate that: (1) the study of yoga metaphysics contained in the Siva Samhita script is a study of God, maya, the soul, the microcosm of the body, and the nature of karma; (2) the study of the epistemology of yoga in the Siva Samhita script covers the nature of knowledge, the importance of the role teacher and the nature of liberation.

Abstract

Transcendental communication is intrapersonal communication that occurs between humans and God. In general, this communication is conducted in various forms, i.e., puja-mantra or prayer, meditation, and other religious and spiritual practices. However, often, the fundamental connectedness that is a fundamental requirement in transcendental communication fails to be actualized. From the perspective of yoga darśana, the failure of true transcendental communication to be actualized is often caused by disturbances in the form of mind modifications (vṛtti) that cause one's consciousness (citta) to spread everywhere and become attached to sense objects. These disturbances must be removed; hence the self could be in a suitable state to establish true connectedness with Īśvara. The discipline of yoga in the form of aṣṭāṅgayoga or ṣaḍaṅgayoga, carrying it out with the spirit of abhyāsa and vairāgyā, is a discipline that can support oneself in eliminating various disturbances. Therefore, one can build one's decent state to establish a perfect connectedness with Īśvara. When the “state” of oneself is free from all forms of disturbance, then true transcendental communication can be actualized. This research uses qualitative methods and the data collected through literature review.
