  • Tri Tangtu on Sunda Wiwitan Doctrine in the XIV-XVII Century
    TAWARIKH: Journal of Historical Studies, Volume 10(1), October 2018 Journal of Historical Studies ETTY SARINGENDYANTI, NINA HERLINA & MUMUH MUHSIN ZAKARIA Tri Tangtu on Sunda Wiwitan Doctrine in the XIV-XVII Century ABSTRACT: This article aims to reconstruct the concept of “Tri Tangtu” in the “Sunda Wiwitan” doctrine in the XIV-XVII century, when the Sunda kingdom in West Java, Indonesia was under the reign of Niskala Wastu (-kancana) at Surawisesa Palace in Kawali, Ciamis, until its collapse in 1579 AD (Anno Domini). “Tri Tangtu” absorbs the three to unite, one for three, essentially three things in fact one, the things and paradoxical attributes fused into and expanded outward. The outside looks calm, firm, one, but inside is continuously active in its entirety in various activities. This concept is still also continues on indigenous of Kanekes (Baduy) in Banten, Western Java. In achieving that goal, historical methods are used, consisting of heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. In the context of explanation used social sciences theory, namely socio-anthropology through the theory of religion proposed by Clifford Geertz (1973), namely religion as a cultural system that coherently explains the involvement between religion and culture. The results of this study show that the concept of “Tri Tangtu” consists of “Tri Tangtu dina Raga (Salira)”; “Tri Tangtu dina Nagara”; and “Tri Tangtu dina Buana”. About “Tri Tangtu dina Raga” is a system of human reciprocal relationship to the transcendent with “lampah, tekad, ucap (bayu-sabda- hedap)” or deed, strong will, and word. “Tri Tangtu dina Nagara” is a unity of “Rsi-Ratu-Rama” or Cleric, Ruler, and a Wise Oldmen.

  • SITUS MAKAM GARUSELA KECAMATAN CISAGA KABUPATEN CIAMIS (Suatu Tinjauan Sejarah Tentang Hubungan Garusela Dengan Sumedang Dalam Penyebaran Agama Islam Abad Ke-17)
    SITUS MAKAM GARUSELA KECAMATAN CISAGA KABUPATEN CIAMIS (Suatu Tinjauan Sejarah tentang Hubungan Garusela dengan Sumedang dalam Penyebaran Agama Islam Abad ke-17) Oleh: Agus Gunawan 1 Rika Septiani 2 ABSTRAK Hasil penelitian menunjukkan : 1) Makam Eyang Kyai Haji Putih merupakan makam leluhur Dusun Cisaga Kolot yang berasal dari Sumedang dan termasuk keturunan Prabu Geusan Ulun serta Prabu Geusan Ulun merupakan penguasa Kerajaan Sumedang Larang sekitar tahun 1578 M. Sehingga makam tersebut dikeramatkan di Dusun Cisaga Kolot Desa Mekarmukti Kecamatan Cisaga Kabupaten Ciamis. 2) Makam Eyang Kyai Haji Putih lebih terkenal dengan sebutan Makam Keramat Garusela karena dalam keseharian Kyai Haji Putih, selain menyebarkan agama Islam, dia juga membuat sela sebagai perlengkapan untuk menunggang kuda. Keterampilannya dalam membuat sela dia dapatkan ketika masih di Sumedang. 3) Susuhunan Geusan Ulun atau yang lebih dikenal dengan nama Kyai Haji Putih juga mendapat kepercayaan dari Kerajaan Sumedang Larang untuk mengislamkan daerah Kerajaan Galuh, khususnya di wilayah Cisaga. Berbeda dengan para pendahulunya yang menyebarkan agama Islam dengan cara berdagang, menjadi pekerja/pelayan atau pernikahan, Kyai Haji Putih menyebarkan agama Islam dengan perilaku dalam kesehariannya. 4) Proses penyebaran agama Islam yang dilakukan oleh Kyai Haji Putih yang berjalan damai dan menggunakan metode yang halus, yaitu menggabungkan budaya yang lama dengan nilai-nilai Islam, menjadikan nilai-nilai Islam ini dapat dengan mudah diserap dan diterima dengan baik oleh masyarakat Dusun Cisaga Kolot. Refleksi dan cara penyampaian yang dilakukan Kyai Haji Putih adalah mengaktualisasikan ajaran agama Islam dengan kehidupan sehari-hari, cara penyampaian yang mudah diterima dan kedekatan Kyai Haji Putih dengan masyarakat Dusun Cisaga Kolot menjadikan poin penting dalam keberhasilan Kyai Haji Putih dalam menyebarkan agama Islam.

NOORDUYN BUJANGGA MANIK'S JOURNEYS THROUGH JAVA: TOPOGRAPHICAL DATA FROM AN OLD SUNDANESE SOURCE One of the precious remnants of Old Sundanese literature is the story of Bujangga Manik as it is told in octosyllabic lines — the metrical form of Old Sundanese narrative poetry — in a palm-leaf MS kept in the Bodleian Library in Oxford since 1627 or 1629 (MS Jav. b. 3 (R), cf. Noorduyn 1968:460, Ricklefs/Voorhoeve 1977:181). The hero of the story is a Hindu-Sundanese hermit, who, though a prince (tohaari) at the court of Pakuan (which was located near present-day Bogor in western Java), preferred to live the life of a man of religion. As a hermit he made two journeys from Pakuan to central and eastern Java and back, the second including a visit to Bali, and after his return lived in various places in the Sundanese area until the end of his life. A considerable part of the text is devoted to a detailed description of the first and the last stretch of the first journey, i.e. from Pakuan to Brëbës and from Kalapa (now: Jakarta) to Pakuan (about 125 lines out of the total of 1641 lines of the incomplete MS), and to the whole of the second journey (about 550 lines).

  • The Nuance of Affirmation the Epistemological Foundation of Sundanese Wisdom
    25.1.2009 [57-73] The Nuance of Affirmation The Epistemological Foundation of Sundanese Wisdom Stephanus Djunatan Department of Philosophy, Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung, Indonesia ABSTRACT One who learns and reads Western Philosophy is familiar with the Decartes' proposition 'cogito ergo sum'. This proposition becomes ontological and epistemological reason of our existence. Nevertheless, one can also explore another reason of existence, not only this Cartesian proposition considered the universal. A nuance of affirmation implied within a local tradition of wisdom can be the other ontological and epistemological reason. Therefore, an exploration the nuance of affirmation in Asian tradition of wisdom is necessarily discovered this alternative reason of existence (1). One can discover such alternative reason from a local worldview and philosophical narration in a local tradition of wisdom (2). This article observes the worldview and philosophical narration of Sundanese people. The observation offers a further interpretation to the Sundanese worldview and philosophical narration. The purpose of this interpretation is to formulate the nuance of affirmation as it is implied in the local system of knowledge. A principle of affirmation is derived from the interpretation of the system of knowledge (3). The interpretation also becomes a further invitation to explore and to find out an intercultural understanding and dialogues of various systems of knowledge (4). Key Words: Principle of affirmation correlative thinking Sundanese 57 MELINTAS 25.1.2009 worldview Tritangtu, Nagara Padang, intercultural dialogues of knowledge Dunya sakitu legana, heurinna ngan ku dua jalma, lalaki jeung awewe.

  • Discovering the 'Language' and the 'Literature' of West Java
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 34, No.1, June 1996 Discovering the 'Language' and the 'Literature' of West Java: An Introduction to the Formation of Sundanese Writing in 19th Century West Java* Mikihira MaRlYAMA** I The 'Language' Discovering the 'Language' An ethnicity (een volk) is defined by a language.i) This idea had come to be generally accepted in the Dutch East Indies at the beginning of the twentieth century. The prominent Sundanese scholar, Raden Memed Sastrahadiprawira, expressed it, probably in the 1920s, as follows: Basa teh anoe djadi loeloegoe, pangtetelana djeung pangdjembarna tina sagala tanda-tanda noe ngabedakeun bangsa pada bangsa. Lamoen sipatna roepa-roepa basa tea leungit, bedana bakat-bakatna kabangsaan oge moesna. Lamoen ras kabangsaanana soewoeng, basana eta bangsa tea oge lila-lila leungit. [Sastrahadiprawira in Deenik n. y.: 2] [The language forms a norm: the most evident and the most comprehensive symbols (notions) to distinguish one ethnic group from another. If the characteristics of a language disappear, the distinguishing features of an ethnicity will fade away as well. If an ethnicity no longer exists, the language of the ethnic group will also disappear in due course of time.] There is a third element involved: culture. Here too, Dutch assumptions exerted a great influence upon the thinking of the growing group of Sundanese intellectuals: a It occurred to me that I wanted to be a scholar when I first met the late Prof. Kenji Tsuchiya in 1980. It is he who stimulated me to write about the formation of Sundano­ logy in a letter from Jakarta in 1985.

  • Buddhist Women and Polygamy Issue in Indonesia By
    Buddhist Women and Polygamy Issue in Indonesia By: Kustiani (Article was presented for the 2nd IABU Conference, 30-3 June 2012, in Thailand) Background Marriage is a human‟s phenomenon that commonly practiced since the ancient civilizations regardless geography, religion, race and social classes. Marriage in the Vulgar Latin is marītācum and in the Latin is marītātus, meaning 'to wed, marry and give in marriage'.1 Now days, marriage is defined as 1. a formal, usually legally recognized, agreement between a man and a woman making them husband and wife; 2. a ceremony at which a couple are married.2 Marriage of the first meaning is meant in this article and it is not the second one. There are many kinds of marriage which have been influenced by the religious, social and philosophical viewpoints. Generally, there are three kinds of marriage, namely polygamy, monogamy and group marriage. Monogamy is the practice or custom of being married to only one person at a time.3 This is commonly practice in the society and of course this type of marriage can be seen everywhere. But, group marriage is quite rare to be seen. Group marriage involves more than one member of each sex. They live together by sharing husband and wife, and responsibility in taking care of wealth and children.4 However, these two types of marriage are not the purpose of this article. The main purpose of this article is to discuss and examine the third type of marriage: polygamy. The term polygamy is defined in two ways: 1. the custom of having more than one wife at the same time;5 2.
