Majaputera Karniawan — 2026-06-30

The existence of Pasar Senen cannot be separated from Kramat Ayam which known build in early 20th century until 1921 on Jl. Kali Lio, because a stone with Chinese script was found loose from a Chinese grave and was considered sacred (Kramat), then moved to Jl. Pasar Senen Dalam III (formerly Gg. Tjap Pek Keng 十八間) became Wihara I in 1921 until it was closed on November 18, 1968 due to the impact of the reorganization of Segitiga Senen area and its surroundings known as the ‘Proyek Senen’ project in the era of Governor Ali Sadikin, since then its existence has not been heard again in literature sources. Apparently through field research it is known that this temple still exists under the name 'Wihara II Dharma Amurva Bhumi (Kramat Ayam Senen)' Jl. Kramat Jaya Baru Blok G3 No.362a, Johar Baru, Kramat, Central Jakarta, so that the research questions arise: (1) Why did the temple move to its current location? (2) How is the existence of religious activities in this temple since moving to a new location until now? And (3) What are challenges faced by the temple in maintaining its existence, now and future? This study uses a Qualitative Case Study approach with library data collection, activity observations, and informant interviews. The data analysis technique uses Milles, Hubberman, and Saldana (2014). Results of the study provide new explanations about (1) Kaleidoscope of the existence of Kramat Ayam from its inception until now, (2) Sacred figures (3) Prayer activities and congregational services at this temple, and (4) Challenges to the existence of the temple in regeneration of congregation and sustainability of management.

HAMBATAN KOMUNIKASI INTERPERSONAL PENYULUH AGAMA BUDDHA DALAM MENJELASKAN MODERASI BERAGAMA DI MAMUJU, SULAWESI BARAT

Eko Caram Atandito — 2026-06-30

This study examines interpersonal communication barriers faced by Buddhist religious counselors in conveying religious moderation to Buddhist communities in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi. The research is based on the 2025 national policy on religious moderation issued by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, which positions religious counselors as strategic actors in promoting moderation values, particularly within minority religious communities. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation of counseling activities, and analysis of official documents from the Ministry of Religious Affairs of West Sulawesi. Participants included Buddhist religious counselors and members of Buddhist communities involved in religious guidance programs. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of interpersonal communication barriers. The findings reveal several key obstacles, including limited community understanding of religious moderation as mere tolerance, difficulties in comprehending policy-related terminology, minimal two-way interaction during counseling sessions, and discrepancies between national moderation guidelines and local Buddhist teachings. These barriers hinder the effective internalization of religious moderation values. The study concludes that promoting religious moderation within minority Buddhist communities requires more dialogical, adaptive, and culturally integrated interpersonal communication strategies aligned with Buddhist teachings to ensure meaningful understanding and implementation.
