Abstract

Vihara Buddhi, formerly known as “Kelenteng perempuan” (female Kelenteng), is a sacred place where Chinese people in Indonesia worship their Gods and do their rituals. Most if Chinese Indonesians adhere to Sanjiao teaching. Sanjiao means Three Teachings; it is a syncretic form of the three main religions or teachings: Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. Vihara Buddhi is located in Bandung, and operated by a group of priestesses, came from marginalized women from Hakka Tribe, called Zhai Ji. Female temple led by Zhai Ji is a unique phenomenon because its existence represents the actualization of the Hakka women in the midst of patriarchal Chinese culture. Research question: How do Zhai Ji and Female Kelenteng become the representation of the actualization of Hakka women? This research is using qualitative methods: Direct observation, data collecting and interview. The theory of women’s studies by Sadli in Ihromi (1995), Mohanty in Lim Sing Meij (2009) and historical approach are the theories used in this research.
