Mufdil Tuhri

Abstract


This article examines pilgrimage sites in Indonesia's religious traditions that play an important role in emphasizing the inclusive dimension of Indonesian people in general. This study examines the dimensions of religious pilgrimages in the religious traditions of the dominant religions in Indonesia, namely Buddhism and Catholicism. The research was carried out in the context of Central Java, namely Borobudur Temple as a Buddhist site and the Temple of the Sacred Heart as a Catholic site. This study reveals several aspects of the similarities and differences in the dimensions of pilgrimage sites according to both traditions. In conclusion, this article shows that Indonesian society is a society that is open and accepts the presence of religious sites in public spaces and accepts the functions of these religious sites as part of tourism.
