The Khon Clan and the Sakyapas

Khon Konchog Gyalpo, the main disciple of Drogmi, founded a monastery at Sakya. It was this monastery that gave its name to the whole monastic order of Drogmi. Konchog was a member of the Khon clan, the family that went on to produce the successive abbots or chief lamas of Sakya who have continued as the heads of this order ever since. The succession of abbots within the family was established on the father-to-son or uncle-to-nephew pattern. In the instance of an abbot remaining celibate, it was his brother or a close relative who continued the family line and oversaw the monastery’s worldly affairs; when the abbot died, he was succeeded by one of his nephews. The Sakyas reached the summit of political power when Sakya Pandita and Phagpa won the confidence and favour of Mongolian khans. The Sakyas were appointed as regents of Tibet, whereby Tibet became subject to a single political authority for the first time after the collapse of the monarchy. The aim of this paper is to show the development of the Khon clan, how a minor aristocratic family was transformed into a significant power in Tibet in both historical and religious aspects, through the efforts of some prominent members of Khon family.

A Reflection on African Religious Life Through the 21 Conferences of "L'Africa Romana” (1983-2020)

The international conferences of “L’Africa romana”, organized by the University of Sassari since 1983, are the most important events of the last forty years, regarding the history, archaeology and epigraphy of North Africa; they have given the opportunity to well-established and young scholars alike, from dozens of countries, to compare their experience and knowledge. The result is a new vision of the Roman provinces of Africa, due to the presentation of a considerable amount of unpublished material. The African provinces, although included in the Mediterranean koine, have been regarded in their specific characteristics, paying due attention to the essential local religious strata, to the internal and external non-religious aspects of the cult and to the original merging of said elements in the religious life between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of the Great Sirte. Ever since the first conferences it was decided to overcome the ethnocentric view, remnant of the colonial past, and underline how in the African provinces local and imported divinities have come together. The present contribution proposes a first annotated bibliographic overview of the works that involved Universities, Research Centers, Agencies for the Development Heritage and Scientific Societies who carried out international research by comparing methods and going beyond a traditional view that was incapable of understanding the ancient world in depth.

TOLERANSI BERAGAMA (Toleransi Masyarakat Muslim dan Budha di Dusun Sodong Perspektif Islam)

Indonesia sebagai negara yang majemuk memiliki beragam suku, bahasa, ras bahkan agama. Perbedaan itu menyimpan potensi positif sebagai kekuatan dan kekayaan bangsa. Namun demikian seandainya tidak dirawat dengan baik, potensi positif tersebut berubah menjadi negatif, yaitu konflik yang merugikan masing-masing pihak. Usaha untuk merawat kemajemukan tersebut adalah menumbuhkembangkan toleransi. Masyarakat Sodong sebagai kumpulan 2 (dua) komunitas beragama berbeda memberikan potret bahwa mereka telah mengimplementasikan hal tersebut secara intens dalam aspek sosial, ekonomi, politik dan bahkan persoalan agama. Hal ini tentu menimbulkan pertanyaan, bagaimana bisa penganut agama yang berbeda memahami dan mengejawantahkan toleransi yang begitu besar dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, padahal setiap agama secara lazim mempunyai ciri khas dan batasan-batasan hubungan dengan agama lainnya?, terkecuali daripada itu, bagaimana pandangan islam terhadap kenyataan tersebut, karena nyatanya islam sebagai agama pedoman hidup muslim memiliki pandangan sendiri kaitannya dengan toleransi. Penelitian ini bercorak field research dengan mendeskriptifkan terhadap persepsi dan perilaku masyarakat Sodong terhadap toleransi berikut pandangan islam terhadapnya. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa toleransi agama yang terbangun di sana tidak semata-mata berlatar belakang agama, melainkan juga berasal dari aspek sosial, budaya dan politik. Praktik-praktik toleransi yang telah terjadi perlu penguatan, terutama di bidang sosial kemasyarakatan. Adapun pada persoalan yang bersinggungan dengan agama masih membutuhkan perhatian dan peran edukasi pemuka muslim agar toleransi tidak mengarah pada tindakan sinkretisme.Kata Kunci:Sodong, toleransi beragama. Indonesia as a pluralistic country has various ethnicities, languages, races and even religions. The difference holds positive potential as the strength and wealth of the nation. However, if it is not properly cared for, the positive potential turns into a negative one, namely a conflict that harms each party. Efforts to maintain this plurality is to cultivate tolerance. The Sodong community as a collection of 2 (two) different religious communities provides a portrait that they have implemented this intensely in social, economic, political and even religious aspects. This of course raises the question, how can adherents of different religions understand and manifest such great tolerance in daily life, even though every religion in general has characteristics and limitations on relations with other religions? to this fact, because in fact Islam as a religion as a way of life for Muslims has its own views regarding tolerance. This research is a field research by describing the perception and behavior of the Sodong community towards tolerance and the Islamic view of it. The results of the study reveal that the religious tolerance that is built there is not solely a religious background, but also comes from social, cultural and political aspects. Tolerance practices that have occurred need to be strengthened, especially in the social field. As for issues that intersect with religion, it still requires attention and the educational role of Muslim leaders so that tolerance does not lead to acts of syncretism. Keywords:Sodong, religious tolerance.

Evangelical transformations of empowerment and female Romani pastors

This article analyses the empowerment of Romani women in Pentecostal societies in Bulgaria, discussing their diverse experiences in church lives, their opportunities, and the limitations they have as spiritual leaders. Using case material from my ethnographic research, I examine how Pentecostalism intersects with gender dynamics. In presenting the voices of pastors’ wives and female leaders, I reveal their areas of action and participation in formal, or less formal, religious practices. The text suggests that performing miracles is one of the key elements of the transmission of respect from male to female pastors and represents an attempt to achieve a cultural change through the adoption of evangelical Christianity. Moreover, the woman’s involvement in harmonizing social relations between church members, and between evangelists and non-evangelists has become important for non-religious aspects of everyday life. The main goal of the article is to foster an open discussion on the transformations of empowerment and female leadership, which are less studied topics within the much-explored research area of Romani Pentecostalism.

Restoration and Conservation Based on Community Empowerment and Religious Understanding

Community empowerment is one of the effective strategies in conservation efforts. However, empowerment-based conservation still leaves some problems to be solved. The most significant issues in empowerment-based conservation are sustainability and human resource issues. This study sees the problem can be solved by integrating religious aspects in empowerment-based conservation efforts. Through its teaching about the environment, religion can instill values and shape the behavior of people and people who care about the environment. For demonstrating this possibility, this study reviews the literature available in discussions on the role of religion in environmental conservation, community empowerment, and conservation efforts. From the existing literature, religion instills values, shapes behavior, and ensures its sustainability. This is possible through features in religion, such as the message of responsibility in the concept of divinity, karma and reward/sin, or other features such as the ability of institutions to spread values that are intertwined with the emotional, cognitive, and even political aspects of society.

The Malay Women and Terrace Housing in Malaysia

<p>Being of one of the major aboriginal groups in Malaysia, the Muslim Malay women differ socio culturally from women of other religious and cultural background. Malay women have particular spatial requirements especially within the domestic environment. However, these requirements are rarely considered when it comes to the design of modern urban living environments. Terrace housing is the dominant form of urban housing in Malaysia. Since the 1970s, it has catered to the mass housing needs of ‘rural-to-urban’ migrants. Associated with the lack of considerations for traditional, cultural and religious aspects, the design of terrace housing fails in terms of intimacy, privacy and safety for Malay women as well as environmental performance and adaptability. The traditional rural Malay houses evolved in response to the unique cultural needs of the Malay women and her family and offers solutions for contemporary urban housing for Malay families. As contextually appropriate housing solution, their spatial organization and construction system can inform how best to design for the occupants and the environment. The research studies the Malay women, traditional housing environments and the shortcomings of terrace housing. The thesis aim is to identify an architectural solution to the current issues in Malaysian terrace housing. The study proposes a flexible prefabricated construction method, modular screen-wall panelling and a timber flooring system as a design solution to the socio cultural and religious needs of the Malay women and her family.</p>
