Practicing Religious Moderation Among Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus in North Lombok
Abstract
Indonesia's cultural and religious diversity is a hallmark of its national identity, with Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism being the religions practiced by its population. However, this diversity also poses challenges, especially in maintaining social harmony amid potential religious conflicts. The practice of religious moderation becomes very important in fostering tolerance and peace between religions. This research aims to explore and implement the practice of religious moderation among Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu communities in Pemenang Timur Village, North Lombok, Indonesia, focusing on the Pujawali ritual as a case study. This research uses qualitative methods to present field data by conducting observations, then in-depth interviews with informants related to values and norms in the practice of religious moderation, as well as conducting documentation. The findings show that community adherence to local traditions and mutual respect for different religious practices can make a significant contribution to maintaining social cohesion. The practice of Pujawali Ritual is an example of how interfaith interaction based on local wisdom and cultural practices can increase social solidarity and religious comfort and security to this day. This is the importance of values and norms in the practice of religious moderation to realize peace and prevent social conflict and can be used as a role model in various regions in Indonesia.
