This study examines the dynamics of meaning, symbolism, and interpretation in Buddhist religious texts through semantic and hermeneutic approaches using qualitative methods. The research explores how the structure of meaning in texts such as the Dhammapada and Sutta Pitaka shapes understanding of Buddhist values, and how teachings in symbols such as the Middle Way, Three Jewels, and Nirvana undergo transformations of meaning according to cultural contexts. The findings show that the understanding of Buddhist text meanings is not fixed, but dynamic, formed through interactions between text, context, and readers. This research employs semantic analysis to identify denotative and connotative meanings, combined with hermeneutic interpretation following Gadamerian and Ricoeurian frameworks. The results reveal that Buddhist symbols carry multilayered meanings that require contextual interpretation, contributing to contemporary understanding and application of Buddhist teachings in diverse cultural settings

This study examines social conflicts in Islamic family law (HKI) using sociological and anthropological approaches to understand the complex dynamics between religion, culture, and social values.

Ibn Khaldun's thoughts on the philosophy of Islamic education reflect his valuable contribution in understanding the role of education in the formation and advancement of civilization. In his famous work, "Muqaddimah," Ibn Khaldun expresses a rich and relevant view of education in the Islamic context. Ibn Khaldun considers education as an important element in the formation of individual character and civilization. For him, Islamic education must include moral, ethical, and spiritual dimensions. Ibnu Khaldun argues that early education has a central role in forming the foundation of social life, and emphasizes the importance of providing good education to children from an early age. Apart from early education, Ibn Khaldun also recognized the importance of formal education in forming educated individuals. He recognized the value of knowledge and expertise in community development, and suggested that educational institutions such as madrasas and universities should provide knowledge that is scientific and skill-based. However, Ibn Khaldun also stressed the importance of experiential education in Islamic thought and understanding. He emphasizes that direct experience in social and political interactions brings a deeper understanding of the dynamics of society. According to him, this experience enables individuals to gain wisdom and contextual understanding which is crucial in understanding and applying Islamic teachings in everyday life. In his thoughts, Ibn Khaldun made education a means to achieve social justice and progress of civilization. He recognized the importance of acquiring knowledge and skills, but also emphasized the need for solid moral and spiritual education.

Marriage that precedes a sibling is a social phenomenon that often triggers differing views between customary law and Islamic law in Indonesian society. This study aims to examine the perspectives of customary law and Islamic law on this phenomenon and understand the dynamics of the interaction between these two legal systems. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, combining primary data from in-depth interviews with customary leaders, religious scholars, and marriage participants, along with secondary data from relevant literature. The results show that customary law tends to regulate the order of marriage within the family, with social sanctions for violations, while Islamic law does not have such prohibitions and emphasizes individual freedom as long as the marriage requirements are fulfilled. Despite the potential for conflict, integration between customary law and Islamic law is possible through a dialogical approach involving all relevant parties. This study recommends strengthening dialogue between customary leaders and religious scholars to create harmony in marriage practices within the community and encourages further research to gain a broader understanding of public perceptions on this issue.
