Teaching harmony of Kejawen

Java man has a wealth of teaching about righteousness life . Nevertheless , common misinterpretations of the teachings . Kejawen teachings at the root of the philosophy of spirituality Java for example , not be overlooked , and often discredited . Though the spirit of the doctrine is about harmony as the principle of life , a philosophy and ethics of real life are universal . Pamomong through the book , Turning Back The values ​​Luhur Java Man , Prapto Yowono try to provide the information and understanding of the teachings of the Javanese .

Kejawen cored teachings about the origin and purpose of human creation , such as teachings about life , work , compassion , dialogue , passion , idol and so on . Achievement of understanding these teachings according Yowono Prapto can be obtained through three complementary approaches , ie approaches kawruh ( knowledge invisible ) , ngelmu approach ( knowledge of unseen ) , and ngelmi approach ( knowledge is sourced religiosity )

Virtue of the Javanese as the local religion is that it contains the rules that govern human behavior in many aspects of life . According Prapto , Javanese spiritualism has two integral parts . The first is the Javanese philosophy . Javanese philosophy is the concept of human theology and the Java community about sangkan paraning being, the origin and purpose of creation . Yana ( 2010 ) mangatakan Kejawen has three basic levels , the level of awareness godless , level of consciousness of the universe , and the level of human civilization . This philosophical view of determining the attitude and behavior of humans .

The second is the Javanese ethics . Javanese ethics is a courtesy which contains guidelines for teaching attitudes and behaviors adopted by the Java community . Such as manners , way of thinking , character , discourse , thought patterns , and others. Javanese ethics founded on the philosophy of Javanese ( it , 11 ) .

Basic thoughts learned in Javanese spiritualism as a religion in line with the real local basic ideas learned at the official religion of spiritualism , the doctrine of the origin and purpose of creation . Therefore unnecessary conflict between Kejawen with official religions , let alone to discredit Kejawen as infidelity .

In this book cover note , Prapto also looked at issues of religious conflict and sectarian conflict that often occurs this country especially in Java, one of which is caused by the erosion of moral values ​​in society Kejawen Java . While the cause of the erosion of values ​​according to Javanese Java Prapto are many people who are currently experiencing the so-called inner silence . Inner silence is the situation of human mental confusion caused by uprooted from their cultural roots ( Kejawennya ) . Inner silence is paired with a rag with holes , which is referred to as " spiritual holes " .

When the holes are filled by the teachings of fanaticism and radical , then the seeds of conflict that will continue to grow . Because every religion / group would consider the most correct group and other groups are wrong . In this context Kejawen teachings a bulwark to protect themselves from the teachings of fanaticism and radical . Kejawen teachings believed to maintain the harmony of life in the Java community as an indigenous (local wisdom )

This book became an answer when social conflict problems that often occur in our country there is no solution . Kejawen teachings need to be preserved and studied more deeply by everyone not only in Java but in the entire archipelago . To create a harmonious society , peaceful , intelligent and always upholds tolerance between people.
