adaptation strategy of central Kalimantan’s Dayak Ngaju religious system to the state official religions in Palangka Raya

Abstract

The findings show that the integration and adaptation of Dayak Ngaju religious system adherents to Hinduism was done because of both internal and external factors. The internal factor includes the needs for recognition of their basic rights in religion as well as desire for changes, pioneered by intellectuals and leaders of Dayak Ngaju religious system. The external factor includes religious politics, economy, education, religious conversion, as well as the existence of Great Council of Kaharingan Hinduism and the role of State Hindu College of Tampung Penyang Palangka Raya. The adaptation strategies are indicated through accommodative behaviours, revitalization and revivalization, as well as resistance. The implication of the adaptation strategies is that the adherents of Dayak Ngaju religious system are able to maintain Kaharingan identity by calling the religion “Hindu Kaharingan”, even though in state administration, the religion is still written as Hinduism. In daily practice, the teachings of Dayak Ngaju religious system can be delivered in its entirety, and the adherents may still have their rights in religious practices, education, economy, and politics just like the adherents of Indonesian official religions.

Legal regulation of religion in the context of ecclesiastical law as a model of a single legal space in Europe

“…From these positions, canon law can be considered as a kind of personification of the doctrine of Catholicism, taking into account the religious and philosophical searches aimed at glorifying the Divine power and its refraction on society through the clerical power. Thus, it is quite logical to determine the connection between religion and legal doctrine, in which, it seems to us, the mechanism of the influence of the religious factor on the formation of the modern concept of a united Europe can be revealed to the greatest extent (Nasution, 2018;Eka et al, 2021). Analyzing the legal doctrine in terms of its formal legal properties, scientists give such a definition of the doctrine: it is a document containing conceptually formulated ideas, principles developed by scientists with the aim of improving legislation and recognized by society and recognized by the state as mandatory (Risso, 2009).…”

Philosophical aspects of the historical development of Islamic civilization and the interest in the teachings of Ibn Taymiyyah (1263-1328)

“…Before the advent of Kharijism, the ideas of the radical Jewish sects of the Zealots and Essenes were prevalent in the region. The latter, like the Kharijites, proclaimed all those who disagreed with their teachings as apostates (Ali-zade, 2007;Eka et al, 2021). There was also a group of Christians with similar beliefs and they were called Donatists.…”
