Summary: | Divinity in Therav�da Buddhism is an interesting matter to
discuss, because Therav�da Buddhism has a different concept from others
about Divinity. Therefore, this research studies on the text point of view of
Therav�da Buddhism and Buddhist understanding toward Divinity.
This qualitative research is focused on the texts of Therav�da
Buddhism and Buddhist responses to Divinity. I explore the texts of
Therav�da Buddhism to know responses formative Buddhism toward
Divinity. Field research was conducted in Purwodadi village. I conducted
participant observation and in-depth interview to collect data to the
Buddhist response to the concept of Divinity. Geertz�s theory of Moods and
motivation serve as the reference in analyzing the data to determine the
Buddhist cognitive response to Divinity.
The conclusion of this research is as follow. Nibb�na is the concept
of Divinity in Therav�da Buddhism. Therav�da Buddhism has no concept
of �Personal God� and does not view God as anthropomorphism and
anthropopathism. In the paradigm of Buddhist text, Buddhism views
Divinity as the �Ultimate Reality or the Absolute�. Rituals only have a
little room in Therav�da Buddhism. Nevertheless, Buddhists in
Purwodadi have responses and new understanding toward Divinity.
Buddhists understand rituals as a part of their effort to attain Nibb�na and
tolerant in accepting local culture (Java). Buddhists still maintain tradition
and Javanese culture, because there are many Buddhist values remains in
these traditions. |
