Abstract

This study examines the role of Humanistic Buddhism as practiced by Fo Guang Shan in building compassion-based communities through education in Indonesia. As a contemporary Buddhist movement with global development, Fo Guang Shan emphasizes the integration of values such as compassion, wisdom, and humanity into both formal and non-formal educational practices that are relevant to the social context of modern society. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research explores in depth the implementation of Humanistic Buddhist values within educational curricula, learning activities, and various community empowerment programs involving interfaith and intercultural engagement. Data were obtained through analysis of educational activities and social practices conducted by Fo Guang Shan in Indonesia. The findings indicate that education grounded in Humanistic Buddhism contributes significantly to fostering interreligious tolerance, shaping learners’ moral character, and promoting social solidarity within Indonesia’s pluralistic society. Beyond academic aspects, Fo Guang Shan’s educational model also prioritizes the development of empathy, social responsibility, and collective awareness to encourage harmonious coexistence. This study concludes that the educational initiatives undertaken by Fo Guang Shan offer a transformative approach to building an inclusive, compassionate society oriented toward sustainable social engagement.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the potential of Buddhist communities in Central Java Province in order to strengthen religious identity and enhance their social engagement as a minority group within a multicultural society. The study employs a quantitative approach, collecting data from 376 respondents through a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and Pearson correlation analysis to examine the relationships among the studied variables. The findings indicate that six key factors significantly contribute to strengthening religious identity and the spiritual resilience of Buddhist communities, namely cultural preservation, arts and traditions, utilization of cultural heritage sites, community economic development, and the implementation of religious activities. Among these factors, regular religious activities and the use of temples as religious tourism destinations emerged as the most dominant factors in encouraging community participation, social solidarity, and the sustainability of Buddhist teachings. These findings underscore the importance of adopting a holistic and locally grounded approach in community development initiatives. This study offers important implications for the formulation of religious policies and the development of more inclusive, contextual, adaptive, and sustainable strategies for the empowerment of Buddhist communities at both regional and national levels.

Abstract

Human life is highly dependent on a balanced relationship with both the natural and social environment. However, environmental degradation caused by human greed, uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources, and unsustainable consumption patterns has led to widespread ecological crises across various parts of the world. This study aims to examine in depth how ecological values embedded in Buddhist teachings can foster strong environmental awareness, particularly among Buddhist communities. Using a qualitative literature review method, the study systematically analyzes various textual sources, including Buddhist scriptures, classical literature, and contemporary ecological literature. The findings indicate that Buddhist teachings, which emphasize the principles of interdependence, moral ethics, mindfulness, and respect for all living beings, can cultivate attitudes of care and responsibility toward the environment when these values are consistently integrated into education from an early age, both within families, schools, monasteries, and the broader community. This study makes a significant contribution to the discourse on religion-based ecological ethics by positioning Buddhist ecology as a conceptual framework for the sustainable and profound transformation of ecological consciousness.

Abstract

Local religious traditions play a crucial role in maintaining spirituality, cultural identity, and social cohesion within communities, particularly in rural areas that continue to uphold traditional values. This study aims to examine in depth the influence of the Puja Bhakti Keliling tradition on the level of participation of Buddhist devotees in various religious activities in Sumogawe Village. The study employs a quantitative approach with an associative design, involving 60 purposively selected respondents, and the data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The findings indicate that this tradition contributes significantly to the active engagement of the devotees, with an R² value of 0.634 and a regression coefficient of 0.756, confirming its positive effect. Dimensions of togetherness, social interaction, and spiritual meaning were identified as the main factors driving active participation. The results also reveal low participation in Dhamma learning sessions, highlighting the need for innovation in educational methods and more engaging learning approaches within lay communities. The Puja Bhakti Keliling tradition has proven to serve as a spiritual, social, and educational medium that holistically supports community resilience and the sustainability of religious practices. This study recommends strengthening this traditional model through intergenerational support, innovative participatory learning methods, and contextual approaches that align with community needs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the process of acculturation between Buddhism and local culture in Indonesia, particularly in the context of the formation of a unique and historically relevant Nusantara Buddhist identity. The focus of the study includes the integration of the Tri Pitaka teachings with local cultural values, practices, language, art, and rituals to create a form of religious practice that is adaptive and meaningful for the local community. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observations of religious practices, interviews with religious and community leaders, and literature studies of relevant texts, inscriptions, historical artifacts, and scientific works. Data were analyzed interpretively through reduction, thematic grouping, and narrative construction that connects field phenomena to historical, social, and cultural contexts. The results show that the acculturation of Buddhism in Java is harmonious and multidimensional. The integration of Buddhism with local culture is manifested in the adaptation of ritual language, temple relief sculptures, ritual traditions such as Javanese puja bhakti (prayer offerings) and slametan (celebration ceremonies), and practices of respect for parents that align with Buddhist teachings. The Buddhist identity of the Indonesian archipelago is created through a synthesis of universal Buddhist values ​​and local culture, strengthening social cohesion and serving as a means of moral education for a multicultural society. This research contributes to the understanding of religious and cultural acculturation and opens up space for further study of the dynamics of religious integration in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming Buddhist Sunday School education at the Shimakalingga Temple in Jepara in the digital era. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The results show that AI technology is beginning to be utilized in the learning process, such as the use of interactive visual media, Dharma quiz applications, and digital platforms for distance learning. The use of AI has been proven to increase student interest and understanding of Buddhist teachings, as well as support more inclusive and adaptive learning. However, challenges remain, including limited resources, lack of teacher training, and the need for ethical guidelines for the use of AI in the context of religious education. This study concludes that AI plays a significant role in supporting the transformation of Buddhist education, but its use must remain balanced with spiritual values and the role of teachers as moral guides. Therefore, collaboration between the temple, educators, and technology is needed to create a sustainable learning system based on Dharma values.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of Buddhist religious counseling services in North Kalimantan Province in the post-pandemic period, particularly focusing on satisfaction levels and the distribution of counselors across districts. Using a quantitative approach with descriptive and correlational designs, the study involved a population of 9 Buddhist counselors and 3,993 congregants, with 98 selected respondents. Satisfaction levels were measured using the SERVQUAL framework, which evaluates service quality through five key dimensions. Findings show an overall satisfaction score of 3.65 (out of 5), categorized as “satisfied.” The highest rating was in the assurance dimension, reflecting public trust in counselor competence. However, empathy and responsiveness dimensions scored lower, especially in regions with few or no assigned counselors. A Pearson correlation analysis yielded a weak positive relationship (r = 0.214) between counselor-to-congregant ratios and satisfaction scores, emphasizing that equitable distribution is more crucial than sheer numbers. This research underscores the urgent need for needs-based distribution policies and hybrid service strategies that combine digital and in-person modalities. The results offer important policy implications, highlighting that spiritual service equity contributes to social cohesion and emotional well-being, especially in pluralistic and geographically dispersed regions.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the phenomenon of fundraising conducted in the name of Buddhism and humanity in Kisaran City, North Sumatra, using a qualitative approach. Data was collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with the participants, and document analysis related to the fundraising activities that had been conducted. The research findings show that fundraising is carried out in various forms, such as food donations, social activities, and online donations. All of these activities are rooted in Buddhist values, particularly dana (giving) and karuna (compassion). The use of digital technology, especially online donation platforms, has increased community participation and transparency in the fundraising process. However, the study also identified challenges such as the lack of accountability in managing the funds and the risk of misuse that could undermine public trust. In this context, transparency and active community involvement are essential to building trust and ensuring the effectiveness of religious philanthropy. The study concludes that the sustainability of Buddhist fundraising practices in modern society can be achieved by combining spiritual integrity, good governance, and appropriate technology adaptation. Through this holistic approach, Buddhism-based fundraising can remain relevant and effective in supporting humanitarian activities in the digital age.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-discipline and burnout (Thīna-Middha) on active participation in religious activities among Buddhist adolescents aged 15–18 in Central Java. The approach used is quantitative with a survey method, and the sampling technique is cluster sampling. The instrument used is a semantic differential scale questionnaire to measure self-discipline, burnout, and active participation. Data analysis is performed using multiple linear regression to determine the influence of each variable on active participation. The results show that self-discipline has a positive and significant effect on active participation in Buddhist religious activities, while burnout has a negative and significant effect. These two variables contribute 41.1% to active participation in religious activities. These findings highlight the importance of self-discipline as a factor that drives active participation, as well as the negative impact of burnout on adolescents' involvement in religious activities. The implications of this study can be used as a basis for designing more effective and targeted programs for Buddhist adolescents, considering the factors of self-discipline and efforts to mitigate burnout. These programs need to be tailored to the spiritual and psychological needs of adolescents to enhance their active participation in religious activities.
