The Concept Of Harmonization And Tolerance In Religious Plurality In The Pasuruan-Tengger Tribe

Abstract

Indonesia is famous for its great religious plurality. No wonder frictions sometimes happen which result in negative actions. On the other hand, there are also many people of different religions, but have strong brotherhood and unity, such as in the Tengger tribe which adheres to five religions, with the majority of Hinduism and Islam. The research is qualitative with a historical phenomenological approach. The results obtained that the origin formation of harmonization and moderation in religious plurality in the Tengger tribe is three, 1) part of relatives and family: they came from the Majapahit Royal family and one tribe; 2) mutual understanding: they understand that there is no wrong religion and hostility, and that a sense of togetherness is preferable; and 3) state rules: this is for the Tengger tribe people, they always keep the state and their rules side by side. With these three principles, they live by helping each other, implementing mutual cooperation in daily life, and respecting each other's rituals regardless of their belief
