Aceh, which is dominated by the Aceh Rayeuk tribe, has a treasure of various ethnicities and tribes such as the Aceh Tribe, Tamiang Tribe, Gayo Tribe, Alas Tribe, Kluet Tribe, Julu Tribe, Pakpak Tribe and Aneuk Jamee Tribe. The various ethnic groups above show that Aceh is a province rich in culture and various authentic local wisdoms. The Aneuk Jamee tribe is an acculturation of the Acehnese and Minangkabau tribes, both of which seem to have merged into one individual to produce a new ethnicity. This ethnicity later developed in South Aceh and influenced various aspects of culture and the family system in it. This research is classified as field research with a qualitative approach. The methodology used is phenomenology which is supported by historical literacy in the South Aceh region where the Aneuk Jamee ethnicity is the most dominant. Informants in this study consisted of primary and secondary sources, the primary sources were individuals or native Aneuk Jamee selected by random sampling. The secondary sources are informants who are not native to Aneuk Jamee but have insight and knowledge regarding the history and customs of Aneuk Jamee. The results of the study concluded that the Aneuk Jamee community has similarities with the system in the Minangkabau community in West Sumatra, namely adopting a hereditary system from the mother's side or commonly referred to as Matrilineal. Even though there has been Islamization in Aceh where the father is a descendant of the lineage, the matrilineal system is still evident in kinship (household) matters. All matters that will be carried out in a household must be discussed in advance with the ninik mamak (mother's brother). Prior to the consultation with the ninik mamak, news about the event should not be heard by the public.

Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang, membuat dan mengembangkan modul pendidikan upacara puja bakti umum dan kematian tradisi Mahayana menggunakan pendekatan blended learning untuk mempermudah pengajaran jarak jauh, serta menguji kemenarikan, kemudahan penggunaan dan efektivitas produk, karena masih banyak umat Buddha, yang masih mempercayai dan mencampuradukkan mitos, tradisi dan kepercayaan turun temurun dalam ritual keagamaan, kurangnya pemahaman terhadap agama Buddha Mahayana, serta senantiasa diliputi oleh ketakutan dan kecemasan. Pelaksanaan kegiatan penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif terhadap modul dengan menggunakan model Lee dan Owens yang dilaksanakan melalui tahap dan metode kuantitatif terhadap pengujian modul melalui angket terbuka dan tertutup dalam pre-test, post-test dan sikap peserta, serta wawancara dan dokumentasi untuk melengkapi proses pengumpulan data, yakni metode penelitian campuran (mix methods). Hasil penelitian terhadap umat Buddha, termasuk pandita upacarika dengan rentang usia 25-60 tahun yang sehat secara fisik dan mental menyatakan bahwa telah terjadi perubahan pemahaman mengenai upacara puja bakti umum dan kematian tradisi Mahayana berdasarkan hasil pre-test yang menunjukkan nilai rata-rata sebesar 54 dan 56 setelah proses pembelajaran, post-test dengan nilai rata-rata 89 dan 92, serta sikap peserta yang senang sebesar 64% dan menyatakan tidak mengalami kesulitan sebesar 40% untuk memahami modul pendidikan upacara puja bakti dan kematian tradisi Mahayana berbasis blended learning.
