Abstract

Syncretism puts the fusion of two religious teachings/beliefs into one unit which makes it have its own peculiarities. This idea shows that the syncriticalism of Hindu-Confucian beliefs found in the Penyagjagan Temple of Bangli Regency is a long history of trade relations or other expansions between Balinese (Hindu) and Chinese (Confucian) which are inherited in the system of worship and social relations. Penyagjagan Temple as a Hindu-Confucian union as a sign that two different teachings can merge in the temple environment (mandala). The union is not only in temples with Hindu and Confucian nuances, but also in the system of worship (mantra) and upakara means. This makes syncretism give birth to a religious identity as a symbolic that characterizes the peculiarities of the religious and cultural system of the Hindu-Confucian community that worships the Penyagjagan Temple.

Abstract

The problem of the existence of evil and suffering experienced by humans will always give birth to reflections and philosophical thoughts. This will raise the question of where does the suffering and evil that befell human life in the world come from? These various questions will lead to a discussion of God's relation to the existence of this evil and suffering. Because of course this will bring up contradictions from the attributes of God “Good God”, “Omnipotent”, “Omniscient” when suffering and evil are still rampant as if God is not good, incapable, and does not know suffering exists. Therefore, this study using the library research method will explain the meaning of crime and suffering in the eyes of the characters, namely Søren Aabye Kierkegaard and John Hick. The results of this study indicate that Kierkegaard views crime and suffering as occurring because humans are still in the stage of aesthetic existence, namely humans who only pursue happiness and worldly pleasures so this will lead humans to despair, disappointment, and other suffering. Humans must jump to the ethical stage, namely prioritizing virtue morally, and humans must also reach the religious stage, namely melting into God's consciousness. Meanwhile, John Hick views the suffering and evil that must exist to perfect the human soul, because basically, humans are not perfect when they are born.

Abstract

Besides being known for its tourist destinations, Bali also has traditional institutions full of local wisdom known as subak. In the era of globalization triggered by advances in science and technology as well as rapid progress in the field of tourism, this has created problems for the existence of subak itself, both in terms of socio-religious aspects as well as its physical condition. The aim of this research is not only to understand the wisdom of subak but also to know the challenges experienced by subak in the era of globalization. The method used in this research is an exploratory method to reveal phenomena that are fundamentally related to the focus of the problem   or   object   of   study.   In   addition,   this   research   was   conducted   through   a   critical ethnographic approach based on a qualitative research paradigm. Subak is a traditional institution that is socio-religious and plays a very important role in distributing water to rice fields in Bali. In carrying out its activities, subak is based on the harmonization philosophy of Tri Hita Karana or the three causes that can give happiness to humans, consisting of parhyangan or human relations with the Creator, pawongan or human relationships with each other and palemahan or relationships between humans and their natural environment. In this era of globalization, which has entered through the rapid development of tourism, it has resulted in many subaks whose functions have begun to be eroded, starting from the decreasing number of subaks caused by the transfer of functions from existing subak lands, to the decreasing desire of the younger generation who pursue the profession of farmers as their livelihood. In addition, the entry of modern culture with the use of chemicals in pest control, has made several species of rice fields disappear. Rituals in subak culture have also begun to be simplified even though in practice it does not reduce the meaning of the ritual itself. Government intervention is needed to save the existence of subak in Bali through improving irrigation, increasing dams that can accommodate water for agricultural irrigation, exemption from rice fields tax, fertilizer assistance or other assistance needed by farmers.

Abstract

One of them is the Tri Guṇa which prohibits us from the natural qualities that exist in individuals which will be discussed according to the Bhagavad Gītā Sacred Library. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive research design. By reviewing the results that have been obtained through literature review, both journals, books, research results, and magazines related to research titles. The research results that have been obtained, analyzed and set forth in the form of a narrative. Tri Guṇa are the three characteristics contained in each individual, namely sāttvam, rājas, and tāmas. This third trait has a tremendous influence on individuals in carrying out life in the world. In the Bhagavad Gītā, the Tri Guṇa originate from Brahman. Therefore, the Tri Guṇa can be used as a way for us to get closer to Him, even to achieve union with Him. The Tri Guṇa in the Bhagavad Gītā explain the knowledge, work activities, and doers stated in the Samkhya, the differences and determination (intelligence) of the Tri Guṇa, and the happiness attained by each of these gunas. With this knowledge, Tri Guṇa really help us to have a better personality and let go moksa

Abstract

Hindu theology provides the broadest way to worship God. One of them is the celebration of Bhuda Cemeng Klawu which is a holy day for the Balinese Hindu community to worship the manifestation of God as the ruler of prosperity, especially financial wealth. Based on the observations, on this day, Hindus perform worship rituals to Bhatari Rambut Sedhana by offering some banten. Bhatari Rambut Sadhana is embodied in 2 statues made of kepeng coins as a symbol of beauty and splendor. Worship on Buddha Cemeng Klawu day should be carried out by all Hindus, not only traders and business people. Prosperity is coveted by everyone, and wealth has a significant role in our life. In the Hinduism religion, wealth is not taboo. Everyone is encouraged to be rich, especially those who are in the gṛhasta period. Wealth (arta) is one of the goals of Hinduism in Catur Purusa Artha. Wealth enables one to perform charity (punia) as one of the yajña to realize Jagadhita. on the other hand, wealth very easy to make people drunk and complacent. The Budha Cemeng Klawu celebration reminds Hindus to always be grateful for the wealth they have and seek and use wealth for good. Hopefully, this article can open a wider understanding for Hindus regarding the meaning of holy days, especially Budha Cemeng Klawu.

Abstract

Sulinggih should be able to become the main teacher for the community, therefore, he must have mature educational experience as well as a good reputation. Hinduism views education as a need for every human being as well as a dimension that is full of purity. When education is far from pure values, it will lose its benefits in forming a generation with noble character. Hinduism holds that education must be given to everyone without exception. However, Sulinggih candidates are required to undergo a more rigorous educational process with denser material. If this is the case, then a prospective sulinggih will automatically have a good reputation and be declared worthy to undergo the purification ritual as a sulinggih.  The further impact is that the quality of education that is born from this process makes all people as educated as possible. The influence of modernism and image worship then led to a reduction in the educational process for Sulinggih candidates. This has led to the emergence of cases of unscrupulous individuals who violate moral norms, religious norms, and even legal norms. In Lontar Putra Sesana, educational methods for Sulinggih candidates have been patterned, which include the dimensions of pedagogy, andragogy, and heutagogy. The aim of this research is to provide a reference for the correct educational pattern of Sulinggih candidates in Hinduism. This research method is of a qualitative type with an accent on library research. The findings of this research state that Lontar Putra Sesana contains the main teachings of pradīkṣā education, which begins at an early age until one is ready to undergo purification as a sulinggih.

Abstract

This research departs from the cultural phenomenon of begging in the Munti Gunung community which has been going on for a long time, and has even become a label that has been passed down from generation to generation. Various kinds of efforts have been made by the government to overcome this problem, but it has not had the maximum impact, even this culture of begging still exists. Departing from this problem, the authors try to conduct a study to look critically at the culture of begging from society with sociological and theological approaches, so that they can see the culture of begging as a whole. As for the results of the data analysis obtained, namely the culture of begging is inseparable from the socio-graphic conditions of the Munti Gunung community which can be said to be arid and located in the interior and hills, this is a factor that causes the community to experience difficulties in processing nature to fulfill economic aspects. This culture of begging also creates a contradiction between religious and social issues. On the religious aspect, the culture of begging is the impact of a curse from the goddess Danu from past events. Then from the social aspect, begging is a social problem that disturbs the image of the Balinese people. In overcoming the culture of begging, people are starting to become aware of it by building a theological attitude, namely by various activities that build people's spirit and motivation to improve. This is of course also supported by various parties. The problems and efforts made certainly require a long process.

Abstract

The Tri Kerangka Dasar Agama Hindu is the foundation of life for Hindus which is fundamental. As a reference for the implementation of religion, the Tri Kerangka Dasar Agama Hindu consists of three parts, namely tattva, susila, and ācāra. Morality is the basis of the behavior of a religious person whereas morality itself is the philosophical foundation regarding whether an action must be carried out or not following ethical behavior. The teaching of morality introduces Hindus to ethics, morals, and social ethics. Today there are cases of moral violations in the life of religious people. Indonesia with high heterogeneity visualizes how diverse the hustle and bustle of social society is. Hindus also experience problems within their bodies. Many devotees of various generations touch the Vedas very rarely. Even though reading the Veda is a form of religious literacy. Thus, this research aims to bring the Vedas closer to Hindus regarding their moral teachings in them. The research method in writing this article is the documentation method which explores reference sources from the sacred Vedic literature, both the Sruti Vedas and the Smrti Vedas. In this article one of the Vedic Sruti sections that is referred to is the Rigveda Samhita while in the Veda Smrti, this article refers to the holy book Bhagavad Gita. The result is that there is a crystallization of the two reference sources of Hindu literature, namely: the Value of Honesty, the Value of Unity, and the Value of Self-Control.
