Abstract

This research focuses on the effect of religious values on several life aspects in the Majapahit. There were two kinds of religious doctrine which had been grown in the Majapahit era, Hinduism and Buddhism. Therefore, this research is limitedly focusing on those two religions doctrine’s effects to be analyzed. The researcher is using both artifactual data and literature as his approaches (historical-archaeology approach). To get comprehensive understanding about artefact or monuments (Candi), this study uses several literatures as his references. Furthermore, some religious monuments were analyzed by using monumental and explanation observation methods.

The effect of Hinduism-Buddhism could clearly be seen in several aspects, such as: (1) king and governmental system, (2) territorial layout concept, (3) social life, (4) sacred building architecture, (4) the way Majapahit perceive relationships with others. Majapahit had been getting powerless then collapsed while Hinduism and Buddhism values had no longer applied well in their life.
