Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of meaning, symbolism, and interpretation in Buddhist religious texts through semantic and hermeneutic approaches using qualitative methods. The research explores how the structure of meaning in texts such as the Dhammapada and Sutta Pitaka shapes understanding of Buddhist values, and how teachings in symbols such as the Middle Way, Three Jewels, and Nirvana undergo transformations of meaning according to cultural contexts. The findings show that the understanding of Buddhist text meanings is not fixed, but dynamic, formed through interactions between text, context, and readers. This research employs semantic analysis to identify denotative and connotative meanings, combined with hermeneutic interpretation following Gadamerian and Ricoeurian frameworks. The results reveal that Buddhist symbols carry multilayered meanings that require contextual interpretation, contributing to contemporary understanding and application of Buddhist teachings in diverse cultural settings

Abstract

This study critically examines the semantic and symbolic depth of khanti (patience or forbearance) as expressed in Dhammapada verse 184: “Forbearance is the supreme ascetic practice (khanti parama tapo titikkhā), Nibbāna is supreme.” Through a qualitative hermeneutic approach that integrates classical semantics, modern linguistics, and Gadamerian interpretation, khanti is reinterpreted not merely as passive tolerance, but as an active moral and spiritual strategy within Buddhist ethical thought. The findings show that khanti functions as a multi-layered sign linguistically rich, symbolically resonant, and culturally embedded supporting inner transformation and ethical agency. In the Indonesian Buddhist context, khanti is reframed as a pedagogical and communicative tool for cultivating resilience, conflict resolution, and ethical leadership. This research contributes to interdisciplinary discourse on moral education and religious communication by emphasizing the strategic potential of Buddhist ethical concepts in contemporary society.

Abstract

The law of kamma is a core Buddhist doctrine explaining moral causality grounded in intentional action (cetana). Amid contemporary moral challenges dishonesty, aggression, low self-control, and weakened character education Buddhist moral education requires an internal basis that is both ethically clear and psychologically workable. This article examines how understanding kamma functions as a conceptual foundation for moral transformation, self-regulation, and behavioral improvement in Buddhist character education. Using a qualitative literature review, the study synthesizes canonical teachings and peer‑reviewed research in Buddhist ethics and moral psychology. Findings indicate that a non‑fatalistic understanding of kamma strengthens moral awareness, personal responsibility, reflective judgment, shame and moral dread (hiri–ottappa), and sustained self‑control. Integrating kamma within character education supports disciplined conduct (sīla), mindfulness‑based self‑management, and prosocial behavior that remains stable across contexts.

Abstract

This article examines the semantic meaning in the Prajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra (Heart Sūtra), one of the important sūtras in the Mahāyāna Buddhist tradition. Using a qualitative approach, this article integrates semantic and hermeneutical theories to understand the structure of meaning, symbolism, and interpretation contained in the text. The analysis focuses on key words such as śūnyatā (emptiness), negation structures, and closing mantras as symbolic forms towards enlightenment. The study employs close reading methodology combined with semantic field theory, polysemy analysis, and apophatic language frameworks. The results show that a semantic approach deepens the understanding of Buddha's teachings and their relevance in spiritual practice. This article also highlights how meaning in the text is not only linguistic, but also existential and contemplative, demonstrating that religious language in Mahāyāna functions as metalanguage pointing beyond conceptual understanding.

Abstract

This study examines the symbolic meanings in the Dhammapada text through a simple semantic approach. Many Buddhists understand the Dhammapada only literally, without exploring the deeper symbolic meanings intended to transform character and behavior. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by analyzing ten selected verses from the Dhammapada, comparing their literal meanings (denotative) with symbolic meanings (connotative). The findings show that each verse in the Dhammapada contains moral wisdom that can be applied in daily life. For example, the metaphor of light represents wisdom, darkness represents ignorance, and the middle path represents balance in life. These findings have practical implications for Buddhist character education, where understanding symbolic meanings helps students internalize moral values more deeply than merely memorizing texts.

Abstract

This study examines the semantic dimensions in Buddhist religious texts, focusing on linguistic meaning, symbolism, and interpretation. Applying theoretical frameworks of semantics (lexical semantics, semiotics) and qualitative hermeneutical methodology, this research aims to understand how Buddhist teachings are constructed in texts and interpreted by Buddhist communities. The findings indicate that key texts such as the Sutta Pitaka and Mahāyāna Sūtras contain multiple layers of meaning that depend on cultural context, ritual practices, and teacher interpretations. This research supports the development of interdisciplinary understanding between linguistics, religious studies, and Buddhist practice. The study reveals that meaning in Buddhist texts operates on three distinct levels: literal (vācika), contextual (attha), and spiritual (paramārtha), each requiring different hermeneutical approaches. Symbols such as the lotus and the Dharma wheel function not merely as metaphorical ornaments but as carriers of profound cosmological and soteriological significance

Abstract

This research aims to uncover the symbolic meaning of stupas placed in front of houses of Buddhist communities affiliated with Vihara Mahanama in Semanding Village, Central Java. Stupas as architectural and symbolic elements hold important positions in religious practice and cultural identity of local Buddhist communities. This study employs a qualitative approach using case study methods with ethnographic perspectives. Data collection techniques include field observations, in-depth interviews with Buddhist communities and vihara leaders, and visual documentation. Data were analyzed descriptively-interpretively using symbolic anthropology frameworks and semiotic architecture theory to reveal symbolic meanings contained in the form, placement, and social function of stupas in daily life. The results show that stupas are not merely religious ornaments, but represent multiple layers of meaning: spiritual values, cosmic symbolism, protection, and markers of Buddhist cultural identity in predominantly non-Buddhist environments. Stupa symbolism also reflects processes of cultural adaptation and spirituality rooted in the social dynamics of the Semanding Village community. This research contributes to understanding the integration of Buddhist symbols in contemporary Indonesian society and their role in maintaining religious identity in multicultural contexts, while also providing insights into the domestication of sacred symbols in everyday spaces.
Makna Semantik dan Simbolisme dalam Teks Agama Buddha: Kajian Hermeneutik terhadap Konsep Dukkha dalam Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta Dody Dody; Hesti Sadtyadi

Abstract

This study explores the semantic dimensions and symbolic meanings found in Buddhist religious texts by applying a hermeneutic analysis to the concept of dukkha in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. Commonly translated as suffering, dukkha carries broader existential implications, such as dissatisfaction, impermanence, and the inherent unsatisfactory nature of existence. Employing a qualitative hermeneutic approach combined with semantic and semiotic analysis, the research identifies three interconnected layers of meaning within dukkha: the literal level, referring to physical and mental suffering; the contextual level, which reflects the human existential condition; and the spiritual level, where dukkha becomes a gateway toward liberation. The results indicate that a nuanced understanding of the semantic richness of dukkha is crucial for a deeper comprehension of the Four Noble Truths as the core framework of Buddhist doctrine. This study contributes to interdisciplinary discourse among linguistics, religious studies, and Buddhist practice, emphasizing that sacred language functions not only to convey doctrine but also to encourage inner reflection and spiritual transformation.

Abstract

This research examines the opportunities and challenges in the development of Buddhist traditions in Indonesia, with a specific focus on the role of Tri Dharma (三教 Sam Kauw) as a tradition-strengthening element in fortifying Buddhism in Singkawang City, West Kalimantan. The research is grounded in the dynamic development of Buddhism in Indonesia, which has been influenced by modernity and diverse interpretations of teachings. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method through observation, interviews, and document analysis with religious leaders and Buddhist adherents in Singkawang City, particularly at the historic Vihara Tri Dharma Bumi Raya (established 1873-1878), the findings reveal that the Tri Dharma tradition—integrating Buddhism (佛教), Confucianism (儒教), and Taoism (道教)—holds significant potential in strengthening religious identity and practices through values of wisdom, virtue, and harmony integrated into daily life. The research identifies key opportunities including strong cultural identity, vibrant ritual traditions (Cap Go Meh festival, Tatung rituals), community support structures, and religious tourism potential. However, challenges include limited deep understanding of Tri Dharma teachings among younger generations, influences of popular culture that erode traditional values, pressures of globalization, and modernization impacts. The research implications emphasize the necessity of systematic efforts in socializing and internalizing Tri Dharma teachings through formal and non-formal education, digital media engagement, youth involvement in Vihara activities, tradition documentation and preservation, and inter-Vihara collaboration to ensure Buddhist traditions continue to develop and strengthen their existence in Indonesia's pluralistic society.

Abstract

Homa Fire ritual is a spiritual practice that has developed in the Buddhist tradition for thousands of years and has become an important part of Buddhist religious life in Indonesia. This study analyzes the influence of the Homa Fire ritual on the spiritual, psychological, and social well-being of Buddhists at Vihara Vajra Bumi Satya Dharma Wiriya, Dusun Lamuk, Desa Kalimanggis, Kecamatan Kaloran, Kabupaten Temanggung. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research explores participants’ experiences and perceptions of the ritual. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten regular participants and participatory observation during ritual practices, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that the Homa Fire ritual significantly affects three dimensions of well-being. Spiritually, participants experience greater inner peace, stronger connection to Buddhist teachings, and deeper understanding of Dharma. Psychologically, the ritual helps reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and foster a more positive mental attitude. Socially, it strengthens community bonds, togetherness, and solidarity. Overall, the Homa Fire ritual functions as a holistic spiritual practice contributing to psychospiritual and social well-being in contemporary Indonesian society.
