Greeting

I will try to embrace the first time I learned Amerta with Mbah Prapto. I learned how greeting is very important to start a relationship. Greeting the universe, greeting nature, say hi to the universe. It is through our effort to start a good relationship with the universe, with greetings, that we can prove that our bodies have manners that should be appreciated by nature itself. Like the Buddha statue at Borobudur temple, when doing the abhaya mudra pose. Greetings of kindness to all beings.

Then how do we greet ourselves… body space, nature space, home space, emotional space, inner space, mind space.

Greeting, observing, seeing in detail slowly and continuously… greeting things that are important or unimportant according to us, big or small, visible or invisible.

By continuously observing, it is hoped that we will reduce the causes of unhappiness, such as ignorance, lust and desire.

We will be busy with the wonder of forms, sensations, cause and effect, encounters and we will realize a meaning of existence.

Salam

Saya akan berusaha merangkul kembali masa tahun pertama saya belajar Amerta dengan Mbah prapto. Saya mendapatkan pelajaran bagaimana menyapa itu sangat penting untuk memulai sebuah hubungan. Salam jagad. Menyapa alam adalah upaya kita untuk memulai hubungan yang baik dengan alam semesta. Dengan salam, kita bisa membuktikan bahwa tubuh kita mempunyai tata sopan santun yang patut dihargai oleh alam itu sendiri. Seperti pada arca Buddha di Candi Borobudur  saat pose abhaya mudra. Salam kebajikan untuk semua makhluk.

Lalu, bagaimana kita menyapa diri kita sendiri? Ruang tubuh, ruang alam, ruang rumah, ruang emosi, ruang batin, ruang pikiran.

Menyapa, mengamati, melihat secara rinci perlahan-lahan dan terus menerus. Menyapa hal yang penting atau yang tidak penting menurut kita, yang besar atau yang kecil, yang terlihat atau tidak.

Dengan mengamati terus-menerus, kita diharapkan akan mengurangi penyebab ketidakbahagiaan, seperti kebodohan batin, nafsu keinginan.

Kita akan seraya sibuk dengan ketakjuban bentuk, sensasi, sebab akibat, pertemuan, dan lain-lain. Kita akan menyadari sebuah arti keberadaan.

To understand Iran, geopolitics alone is not enoug To understand Iran, geopolitics alone is not enough.
Behind every headline about war or sanctions lies a deeper landscape of history, memory, and moral imagination. In this conversation, Dicky Sofjan shows that contemporary conflicts involving Iran cannot be read only through the language of strategy and power. They must also be understood through the histories and symbols that continue to mobilize political and social meaning today.

Some changes in family life arrive quietly. In Yog Some changes in family life arrive quietly. In Yogyakarta and Ponorogo, more husbands cook, clean, and care for children, while still remaining the imam in the household. What shifts is not only labor but the meaning of leadership, belief, and marriage itself. A small domestic change opens a larger question about gender, religion, and the stories families tell about themselves.

Join the conversation at the #wednesdayforum with Alimatul Qibtiyah, March 11 at UGM or via livestream. We're offering a free iftar, so get there early! This event is free and open to the public.
What is well-being? Indonesia today: land taken, f What is well-being?
Indonesia today: land taken, forests cleared, plantations marching under the banner of food security. Officials call it progress, yet Indigenous ground tells another story. Baduy farmers keep ngahuma alive: rice, ritual, survival, all tied together. Wellbeing here isn’t profit. It’s balance when human and earth still holding on.

Join us for the next  #wednesdayforum discussion at the 3rd floor of the UGM Graduate School building. We're offering a free iftar, so please register. This event is free and open to the public.
