From a religious perspective, diversity is God's gift and will; If God wills, it is certainly not difficult to make His servants uniform and of one type. But He really wants humanity to be diverse, into tribes and nations, with the aim of life being dynamic, learning from each other, and getting to know each other. So, isn't diversity very beautiful? Grateful for the diversity of the Indonesian nation. Apart from diverse religions and beliefs, within each religion there are also diverse interpretations of religious teachings, especially when it comes to religious practices and rituals. Generally, each interpretation of religious teachings has adherents who admit and believe in the truth of the interpretation they practice. The problem is, why do people divide and claim the truth from each other even though the basis is only from religious interpretations. Mutual claims to truth actually announce untruths. If mutual claims to truth are used as a basis for legitimizing divisions on the basis of religious truth, it is very dangerous in the future life of the nation. Religious moderation is a way that can be used as a link to unite those who are divided due to religious interpretations.

This study aims to examine the resolution mechanisms for water traffic accidents causing death through Dayak customary law in Central Kalimantan, as well as the challenges faced in implementing this customary law. The research used a socio-legal methodology, reviewing applicable legal norms and the reality of their implementation in society. Data were collected from literature reviews, case notes, related reports, and interviews with directly involved parties. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to depict the dispute resolution process and its challenges. The findings indicate that resolutions of water accident cases resulting in death in the Dayak region are often settled through local customary institutions using fines and customary rituals. The fines imposed vary depending on the level of fault determined and can amount to millions of Rupiah, adjusted according to the demands of the victim's heirs and the perpetrator's ability. However, challenges in applying this customary law include the limited ability of the Mantir Adat to determine suspects and resolve discrepancies in statements between involved parties. A lack of explicit regulations also poses challenges, particularly concerning penalties for cases of death not explicitly regulated in the prevailing customary law. This research is significant as it provides insights into the role and challenges of customary law in dispute resolution in remote communities, promoting the need for adaptation and strengthening of customary law to be more responsive to community needs.

This research examines the opportunities and challenges in the development of Buddhist traditions in Indonesia, with a specific focus on the role of Tri Dharma (三教 Sam Kauw) as a tradition-strengthening element in fortifying Buddhism in Singkawang City, West Kalimantan. The research is grounded in the dynamic development of Buddhism in Indonesia, which has been influenced by modernity and diverse interpretations of teachings. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method through observation, interviews, and document analysis with religious leaders and Buddhist adherents in Singkawang City, particularly at the historic Vihara Tri Dharma Bumi Raya (established 1873-1878), the findings reveal that the Tri Dharma tradition—integrating Buddhism (佛教), Confucianism (儒教), and Taoism (道教)—holds significant potential in strengthening religious identity and practices through values of wisdom, virtue, and harmony integrated into daily life.
