Abstract
One of the crucial issues in cultural preservation is the tension between cultural values and religious perceptions in performing traditional ceremonies or rites. This research aimed to reveal the tension between cultural and religious perceptions in three cases: Ruwatan Laut in Lampung, Nyalin in West Java, and Haul Kalembak in Banten. In addition, it also dialogues the tension between cultural values and religious perceptions and tries to find a model of cultural preservation that can resolve it. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods and a literature study. The results show that tensions lead to the sustainability and change of local culture. Therefore, an intense dialogue is needed to find a middle ground from the tension. From a broader perspective, this paper is part of the issue of multiculturalism and religious moderation that continues to be strengthened in realizing a better Indonesia.
