Abstract

From the historical perspective, China and Bali had a millennium cultural diplomatic relationship. This evident can be seen from tangible and intangible cultural heritage, such as Chinese coin, folklore, architecture of temple etc which represent the cultural acculturation between Bali and China. Due to the booming of Chinese tourist visiting Bali from 2015-2019 the stakeholder in tourism utilized the Bali-China cultural heritage as tourism attraction. The Chinese coin was used by Balinese people as religious artefact on Hindu religion as the prominent element of the offering and became the tourism attraction for Chinese tourists and also as souvenirs as well.This research used the theory of “commodification of the past” from GJ Asworth (1991) to explain the function and the meaning of Chinese coin not only for religious artefact but also touristic function. The collecting data used observation, structured-interview, and library research. The data analysis used qualitative data analysis from Miles and Huberman (in Sugiyono,2011). The data analysis involved some procedure, such as data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The research show that by using the intrinsic and extrinsic interpretation it can explain the intrinsic value (historical religious perspective) and extrinsic value (touristic perspective). The intrinsic value of the utilizing the Chinese coin in Hindu religion due the function and the meaning as cultural artifact. And the extrinsic value is the using of Chinese coin as cultural artifact could has the new meaning as tourism attraction by creating the storynomic to build the emotional attachment, the place attachment, and the social bond between China and Bali which had cultural diplomatic relationship.

Abstract

One of the most important sources for the mystical philosophy of the Sufis is “Gulshan-i Raz” (The Rose Garden of Mystery) of Shaikh Mahmoud Shabistari, written in the 14th century. Shabistari not only explained the doctrines of the Persian Sufis in these famous treaties, but also explained some of the main symbols of Sufi literature. Six hundred years after Shabistari, Allamah Iqbal Lahori (1877 - 1938), wrote a new book with the same name “Gulshan-i Raz-i Jadid” (The New Rose Garden of Mystery), revising the Sufi doctrine of Shabistari and traditional Persian Sufis. The three chapters of Shabistari’s Gulshan-i Raz, dedicated to Sufi symbology, are removed from the book of Allama Iqbal. Therefore, this paper aims to compare the poetic symbolism of Iqbal with the symbols used by Shabistari. The comparison would examine whether Iqbal agreed with the last three chapters of Shabistari’s book on Sufi symbolism or if he did not find the symbols relevant to his new mystical doctrine.

Abstract

This study aims to examine religious moderation in religious tertiary institutions, especially Hinduism in the independent era of independent campus learning. This research uses quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed methods). The research subjects on the existence of religious moderation in the MBKM era were 1 person from a higher education institution, 3 MBKM implementers in this case were lecturers, and 50 moderators in MBKM, namely students. The data collection method in this research uses interviews and questionnaires. The data analysis method is qualitative. The concept of religious moderation was translated at each tertiary institution in the era of the independent campus through subjects such as religious moderation, multicultural studies, anti-corruption courses, and several other courses which included religious moderation. Obstacles faced in implementing religious moderation in the era of independent learning on an independent campus at religious tertiary institutions in Bali include limited facilities and infrastructure, unable to prepare special facilities/places of worship for students of different religions. Adjusting to the new curriculum and making moderation a subject requires a good thought for both the policy makers and the lecturers. The strategy undertaken in dealing with obstacles in the implementation of religious moderation in the era of independence was to study independent campuses at religious universities in Bali by strengthening religious moderation. Collaborating with religious universities other than Hinduism, creating guest lecturer programs to fill in courses that are integrated with religious moderation content, conducting religious moderation workshops that are trained by practitioners or by experts from various religions.

Abstract

The existence of nyama selam in Bali is spread in several places such as Pegayaman, Gelgel, Kepaon, Serangan, Kampung Jawa, and Kecicang.There is room for them to live side by side with nyama Hindu. They interact with each other, but their respective cultures are still visible, but there is also a mutual culture that is embraced in strengthening the relationship between people for the harmony of the nation-state. megibung tradition as a characteristic of eating food together in one place according to Balinese tradition is also carried out by nyama selam Kepaon at the time of breaking the fast at the mosque. The unique acculturation is that there is also the Rodat Kepaon dance which is always present to fill the event when there is a Ngaben ceremony at Puri Pemecutan.The Rodat Kepaon dance is always present to fill the event when there is a Ngaben ceremony at Puri Pemecutan. Like at the Plebon/Ngaben Pemecutan King XI on January 21, 2022.Cultural acculturation is created through arts with ceremonies. As a form of acculturation, the Rodat Dance will appear in the first accompaniment, followed by the corpse of the Pemecutan King on the bade as a stretcher for the setra/grave. Rodat dancers wear uniforms like the navy with 2 men in red and followed by a line of other men wearing blue clothes and carrying swords. Their attractions are like playing silat. Of course, it will be interesting because if there is a Ngaben ceremony in Bali, what is commonly staged is The Baris Memedi dance or The Katekok Jago dance. However, Puri Pemecutan performs Rodat Kepaon Dance. This acculturation will reveal the forms of Hindu-Muslim culture and the meanings contained in the Rodat Dance-Ngaben Ceremony.

Abstract

This study examines the degradation of Tri Hita Karana (THK) implementation in tourism landscapes, particularly in the gardens of three-star hotels in Kuta sub-district, Badung Regency, Bali, influenced by modernization, capitalization, and globalization. THK, as a philosophy of Balinese life, emphasizes the balance of human relationships with God (parahyangan), with fellow humans (pawongan), and with the environment (palemahan). However, this research found that economic and political pressures have led to significant shifts in the implication of THK values in hotel landscape design, where traditional elements are often neglected in favor of spatial efficiency, modern aesthetics, and economic factors aimed at maximizing profit. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using critical theories such as Foucault’s power-knowledge relations theory, which highlights the interconnection between power and knowledge; Giddens’ structuration theory, which explains the duality between agents (human resources) and social structures in relation to time and space; and Derrida’s deconstruction theory, which reveals hidden dual meanings. The findings reveal how agents such as architects, developers, and the government contribute to the degradation of THK values. The study highlights the discrepancy between regulations and actual implementation. Additionally, there is evidence of THK knowledge manipulation by capital owners to legitimize deviations from cultural values. This research makes a theoretical contribution by strengthening and expanding the understanding of THK application in modern architecture. Moreover, it offers practical recommendations to enhance the preservation of Balinese culture through regulatory reinforcement, education, and collaboration between the government, the private sector, and the community
