Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan memahami makna tradisi ma’palin di Lembang Gasing, Kecamatan Mengkendek, Kabupaten Tana Toraja dalam perspektif fenomenologi agama Mariasusai Dhavamony. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi agama melalui teknik pengumpulan data, observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan dengan informan yang dipilih secara purposive sampling berdasarkan pengetahuan dan keterlibatan mereka dalam tradisi ma’palin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ma’palin dilaksanakan sebagai bagian dari kebiasaan yang telah diwariskan secara turun-temurun dalam masyarakat. Secara deskriptif, tradisi ini dilakukan sebagai bentuk penghormatan kepada keluarga yang telah meninggal. Secara empatik, pelaksanaan tradisi ma’palin dipahami sebagai wujud kepercayaan masyarakat bahwa arwah orang yang telah meninggal perlu diperlakukan dengan layak agar memperoleh ketenangan. Sementara itu, secara netral, tradisi ma’palin dapat dilihat sebagai bagian dari sistem budaya yang hidup dalam masyarakat tanpa memberikan penilaian terhadap benar atau salah praktik tersebut. Dengan demikian, tradisi ma’palin tidak hanya dipahami sebagai praktik ritual, tetapi juga sebagai bagian dari kehidupan sosial dan budaya masyarakat Toraja, khususnya di Lembang Gasing, yang terus dipertahankan sebagai warisan budaya. Kata kunci: Tradisi Ma’palin, Lembang Gasing, Fenomenologi Agama Mariasusai Dhavamony. ABSTRACT This study aims to describe and understand the meaning of the ma’palin tradition in Lembang Gasing, Mengkendek District, Tana Toraja Regency, through the lens of Mariasusai Dhavamony’s phenomenology of religion. The study employs a qualitative method with a phenomenology of religion approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, involving informants selected via purposive sampling based on their khowledge of and involvement in the ma’palin tradition. The results indicate that ma’palin is carried out as part of a costum passed down through generations within the community. Deskriptively, this tradition is performed as a mark of respect for deceased family members. Empathically, the practice of ma’palin is understood as an expression of the community’s belief that the souls of the deceased must be treated with dignity to attain peace. Meanwhile, from a neutral perspective, the ma’palin tradition can be viewed as part of the cultural system existing within the community, without passing judgment on the correctness or incorrectness of the practice. Thus, the ma’palin tradition is understood not merely as a ritual practice but also as an integral part of the social and cultural life of the Toraja people –specifically in Lembang Gasing- which continues to be preserved as a cultural heritage. Keywords : Ma’palin Tradition, Lembang Gasing, Phenomenology of Religion Mariasusai Dhavamony.
