Interpreting Meditation as an Interreligious Occasion: an Interrituality Approach

View through CrossRef
This research examines meditation as a form of interreligious engagement through an interrituality approach. The concept of interrituality involves interreligious encounters that are catalysed by rituals. The meditation considered here is a public meditation organised by one of the Buddhist institutions in Indonesia, namely Karangdjati vihara Yogyakarta. This research uses semi-structured interviews and participatory observation of regular non-Buddhist participants in the vihara. Drawing on the interrituality approach, this research aims to present the plurality of interpretations of the one Buddhist ritual of meditation based on the participants' immersions, and needs that allows for the sharing of religious experiences in a hospitality moment. In that way, this study aims to contribute to broadening the interest of interreligious studies from theological, theoretical, and discursive dialogue to the more practical, lived interreligious encounters through the realm of ritual.
