Buddhism’s acceptance to Pancasila has proven the main role of state to
determine what kind of religion itself, but it still does not work to manage
the conflict within the religion. From this article, we can conclude that
Buddhism has succeeded to get Gov’s admission. It gives Buddhism the same
position with another religion, especially with Middle East’s religion, and
also many advantages face to face with state. The state has gained their power
formally from religion, but it fails to generate all of the dynamics and
conflicts within Buddhism itself.
Bikkhu Akhin succeeds to consolidate Buddhism’s adherent by recognizing
the concept of One Supreme God. He tried to find similar word of God in the
Buddhism, and he found it as Sang Hyang
Adhi Buddha. He explained that it word was found it in the Javanese Old
Text, Sang Hyang Kamahayanikum which
is written on Mpu Sindok’s era, 10th century. This text gave many
explanation about how to achieve Buddhahood through the practice of Paramita (ten qualities). It also
explained Paramaguhya (the materialization
of Budha Wisesa) and Mahaguhya (meditation). The most
important thing is about the teaching of Advaya
(non-dualism) which is finished the problem of existence and non-existence.
This concept is considered as a door to acceptance the concept of Pancasila
with belief in One Supreme God. From this acceptance, we can consider that
state always succeeds to force their determination to every religion.
The interpretation of Sang Hyang
Adhi Budha as One Supreme God has gained the admission from Government, but
the problem is rising among Buddhism’s adherents. Many rejections happened. For
instance, The Teravadha school preferred to understand God as an Absolute or
Un-conditioned. They did not interpret the concept of God as One Supreme God
because it seems to formulate God as Abrahamic religion did. This example is
one of the proofs that State has limit to force all of the things within
religion, especially about the basic thing, the belief in God. The State has
succeeded to indoctrinate its interpretation which always contains with
political interests.
