Abstract

Ethics is inseparable part of any philosophical enquiry. Javanese-saivism is not devoid from it as reflected from its sources. Despite of the fact that this tradition was prevalent in ancient time in Java, it is not yet known as a system of philosophy; rather it is much known as a religion along with its arts and culture. This paper attempts to prove its ethical system through finding out some cardinal or essential ethical values/principles as reflected in its literature written in Sanskrit-Old Javanese and Kawi-Balinese in the form of palm-leaf manuscripts. Data found in them are identified, collected, grouped, and analyzed to answer the objectives of the research. Ethical principles are pointed out and elucidated to see its nature, position, relation with others, and its significance in the spiritual pursuit of seeker. Conclusion was formulated as a result of data analysis obtained from those sources. The analysis shows that this system of philosophy is supported with a system of ethics in which metaphysics, ethics, and rituals are inseparable parts; each of them is connected to form holistic system of philosophy. Whatsoever ethical virtues found it them, dharma behaves as the very foundation of all ethical principles and the pursuit by observing ethics terminate in freedom or emancipation of self from body---known as moksa, as the highest goal of life. Some other values found in them are catur-purusa-artha, catur-asrama, purity, tri-kaya, karmapatha, asubha-subha-karma, yama-niyama, yoga, and moksa. They are essential and each of them is connected in some ways, and each of them aims at self-transformation. All kinds of desires that are to be satisfied should be attempted based on dharma (righteousness)
