Keywords: culture, ritual, ngabungbang, Cihideung INTRODUCTION Humans, societyandculturearedialectically related. The threesideby side andcoincide create and eliminate each other, all three together to create a relationship of meaning. Their existence cannot be independent without being related to others. In that relationship, each experiences a loss of himself in a moment and then can reappear in another moment. The moment of externalization is the moment that encouragespeople to havethe ability to expressthemselves by building their world. Throughthismoment too, society becomesa realitycreatedby humans (Kahmad, 2011). Culture isthepowerof mindintheform of creativity, intention andtaste, whilecultureis theresult of creativity, intention, and taste (Afrianti, 2019). According to the science of cultural anthropology is the whole system of ideas, actions andresults of human work in the contextof community life that belongs to the human self by learning (Ghani, 2019). As quoted by Koentjaraningrat that Leslie White believes human behavior begins with the use of symbols (Koentjaraningrat, 1990). Art, religion and money involve the use of symbols. For Sundanesepeople, Islam is aninseparable part of life, because for them to embrace Islam is like studying their own culture. This happened because of the similarity of the Islamic religion with the Sundanese character that existed at that time.

First, the teachings of Islam (Islamic teaching) are considered not complex even relatively simple so that they can be easily accepted and compatible with Sundaneseculture which is also simple. The teachings on the creed, worship and moralsin Islam arevery much in accordancewiththedynamicSundanesesoul. Second, theoriginalculturewhichis the"wrap" of Islam is Eastern culturethatis familiar to Sundanesepeople (Kahmad, 2011). Religionisa patternof actionthat is something that livesinhumanbeingsthatappearsin their daily lives. Herereligionis consideredas part of thecultural system (Archer & Elder-Vass, 2012). As quoted by Nur Syam, that Ignaz argues thattherelationshipbetweenthe patternfor andthepatternof the action lies in the symbol system thatallowsthemeaning to becarriedout (Syam, 2005). According to Durkheim The sacred or sacred is something different from the profane, the sacred includes beliefs, myths, dogmas that express representations or representational systems in which the sacred nature contains forces symbolized by interrelation with the profane (Petrof, 2015). Religion, according to Durkheim, is a unity of belief and certain practices towards something sacred, such beliefs and practices unite the morals of a community called worshipers or the church. Belief in this sense are expressions that declare the sacred, while the practices (rites) of rules that determine how someone behavestowards the presence of holy objects (Mufid, 2006). The symbols brought by the religion in turn give a certain motivation and mood to the people of the religion. Motivation and mood are long-lasting, pervasive, comprehensive andstronglyembeddedinhumans. In otherwords, symbols broughtby religion cause peopleto "feelsomething" andwant to "do something" (Riis & Woodhead, 2010). According to Koentjaraningrat that nature is a place where natural phenomena and events are considered by humans as a place of strength that exceeds the power that has been known to humans in the environment which is called the theory of extraordinary and supernaturalistic forces (Koentjaraningrat, 1990). Religion that is believed by the community can be part of the existing value system in theculture of the community. This valuesystem willbe thedriving force and thedriving force and controller for the actions of members of the community, so that religious individuals are considered as part of their way of life in living their lives. The norms and values are symbolically displayed through demonstrationsin theform of ceremonies performed by the community. So thattheceremony awakens a sense of security for residents in their environment, and can also be used as a handle in daily behavior (Ismail, 2012). The majority of the people of Cihideung work as ornamental plant farmers and are Muslim but still believein supernatural powers thathave a great influenceon themselves and the environment. They understandthat theuniverse is occupied by spirits and supernatural powersthatcan bring good or bad. Water is sacred to them andimportantbecausetheirlivesareverydependent on the water source. From here they thenholdrituals to get the purposetheywantsuchas to honor, be gratefulfor, and ask for the salvation of the spirits of their ancestorswho havecontributed. Many ritualsarerelatedto the life cycle or refuse reinforcements, where they contain elements that are not from the religion of Islam itself but are associated withlocalbeliefs. The belief system thatis still livedby the Cihideung community functions to regulate attitudes and value systems of life, so that elements of Religion and elements of original belief (customs) are mutually integrated (Wibowo, 2019). This is unique to bestudiedbecausein themidstof modern life they are still usingit ingetting their life goals by performing rituals that are believed to be primitive by the ancients. One of the rituals performed by the Cihideung community is thengabungbang ritual. This ritual is foundin severalregions in West Java, but there are unique differences with the ngabungbang rituals performed in the Cihideung area.

In thepastpeople intheareahadyellowteethbecause of caina peureu (cainahaseum, kesed) from the center of thewater(in Ciburial). Thedevelopmentof the populationis also growingwith the opening of land for settlements. As a fertile high / mountainous area, the potential of water and water resources owned are rivers and springs with a large discharge respectively. Both of these resources are used by residents to meet their agricultural needs and daily life. Cihideung Village has a population of 12,912 people, consisting of 6,150 men and 6,762 women. All of them are divided into 4,258 households. From the number and area, it can be seen the population density per km, which is 344 people. In accordance with the state of the natural environment, the majority of the residents of Cihideung Village are farmers. (Cihideung Village and Village Development Data, 2009). From thesedata, it appears thatthemajority of the populationuses springs intheirarea to fulfill their daily needs. So famous is the ornamental plant of Cihideung that it has become one of the popular tourist destinations in West Bandung Regency; for thepeopleof Cihideung Village, it wasa gift from the Creator. Because most of their lives are generated from natural resources, many important insights are always transmitted hereditary in maintaining the stability of nature through plants and water, as said by Abah Aling. "Old-fashioned, elegant, makesense, engeoge makes sense, butthe sensearrives, makes sense, too pretentious," read the battle (bitter melon, jagong, boled, chilli, ignorant) "kahayangna kumaha, where ayana, naah daharna goods.

For example urak melak seedlings, jleug we dina jero taneuh huwi tea, timana eta tea must not be the cause of God, pomping ngalanggar kgal ngalanggar kana parent of God, mother parentahna must be run ". Interview with Abah Aling (Elders in Cihideung Village, Parongpong District, West Bandung Regency) 20 November 2017." The condition of the community and the Cihideung area has changed a lot since the tourism sites were built up. Manyof the peoplesold theirland just to buy materialfor the sakeof their craving, so that many of the people who now only become agricultural laborers are no longer landowners. This understanding continues to be given by Abah Alingto thefamilyso that they continueto maintain theplant as a concept of affection for theiroffspring so thatthey canstill live properly. "Beautiful ayeunamah loba, so I use mind / science, saeutik and I make a sense of feeling, feelgood, and be old-fashioned like a ge geun manunteunaneed urang, so sanajan outsidetheehhhsiungna deui we, da hakan sugging at me, it means that it is defective ge apaleun mun manusa tea needs urang, so sanajan outside the ehhh siungna deui we, da hayang ngugemake use anu meaningful , but kiwari mah bisabab rasana less, mangka sakali outsideof tea paehwe.

Thenatural world or real world isinhabitedby living things, suchas humans, animals, plants, including tangibleobjects thatcan be seen. The supernatural is a realm thatis inhabited byspirits suchas thespiritsof karuhun, jinn, demons, andghostsor dedemites. In addition they also believe in the existence of holy spirits that control certain places and objects that are closely relatedto humanlife, suchas those thatinhabitthe Sirawan Bangawan namely Mrs. Inang Saketi, Dayang Sumbi, Mrs. Lametan, Eyang Prabu Susuk Tunggal, Eyang Putih, and others. (Patanjala Journal, Vol. 3, June 2011). Accordingto theirbeliefs, humans canmakecontactand establishcommunicationwiththespirits above. Likethespiritsof the ancestors who could beinvitedto ask for help. On thecontrary, thespirits of the ancestors canbringdisaster intheform of disaster and disasterfor them, if the prohibitionis violated that is why, residents always maintain their relationship with the ancestral spirit through various traditionalrituals thatare routinely carriedout. Ritual activities inthe form of traditional ceremonies are held at certaintimesandroutinely carriedout is for the sake of ensuringthecomplianceof the citizens of social institutions. Theforms of theceremony appear inaddition to the beliefin the Creatorand the belief in the existence of an unseen world. Unseen world that is difficult to reach human reason, occupied by spirits whose strength can be useful or cause disaster or disaster. Spirits can be good spirits, evil spirits, ghosts, jinn. Good spirits include spirits of ancestors / ancestors or karuhun. In addition to carrying out traditional ceremonies intended to ask for blessings to the unseen, also to establish good relations so as not to disturb them. (Patanjala Journal, Vol. 3, June 2011). Accordingto Dhanavony, seeing rituals in fourcategories 1) the actof magicis associatedwiththe use of materials thatwork becauseof mysticalpower. 2)religious actions, ancestral cultsalso do thesame thing in a mystical way. 3) constitutive rituals which express or change social relations by referring to mysticalnotions, thespecificationsof this methodareclearer. 4) factitiveritualassociated withincreased productivity, strengthor purificationandprotection, othertermsarerelatedto the problem of increasing welfare(Ahimsa-Putra, 2012). Accordingto Koentjaraningratritual is a procedurein a ceremony or a sacred act carried out by a group of religious people. This activity is marked by the existence of various elements and components, namely the time, the places where the ceremony is performed, the tools in the ceremony, as well as the people who run the ceremony (Koentjaraningrat, 1990). Rituals or rites are performed with the aim of gettinga lot of blessingsor fortunefrom a job. Likea ceremony rejecting reinforcements andceremonies becauseof changes or cycles inhuman lifesuchas birth, marriage, anddeath. Ngabungbang comes from the words "nga" and "bungbang". "Nga" means to exclude or unite. "Bungbang" meansto disposeor clean. Whichmeans, Ngabungbang is a sacred bath withthe intention to unite the creativity, taste, andintentionto getridof all the badbehaviorboth physicallyandmentally. Ngabungbang rituals Humans basically have bad qualities that must be cleansed in order to bring good, peace and comfort to otherbeings. Thegood that someonehasleft forothers willhave abiginfluencewhenthe good person has died, one of the formsof gratitude doneby thepeopleof Cihideungfor the karahun-kahurun who have given and left goodness to their descendants by performing rituals to honor these karuhun. becauseaccording to theirbeliefs spirits and spirits who occupy their placecan givegood or bad. So this ritualof mourning aims to be a watchfor thepeopleof Cihideungto rid themselves of bad traits, in order to get good and be kept away from the bad things that happen to them when they live their lives, and to respecttheirspirits. 88 │ ISSN 2302-9781 (online) International Journal of Islamic Khazanah, Vol. 10 No. 2: 84-94 Ngabungbang Ritual Culture in Peasant Communities Shindu Irwansyah,Hadi Nuramin, Dede Wahyudin Ngabungbangis silentoutside the buildingwith stayingup allnightespeciallyin a sacred place on the full moon calendar which is usually doneon the month of mulud.

CONCLUSION To respond to the ups and downs of state recognition of adherents of indigenous religions. Followers of belief in God Almighty endeavor in various ways to defend the teachings of their ancestors. No exception, followers of the Djawa Sunda Religion in Kuningan Cigugur. They seek to build innovative and creativestrategies thatmorph into newforms (prospectors), defendfor the stability of the existence of the organization (defenders), deal with internal consolidation ways to find the organization's safe position (analyzers), or are forced to succumb because of external threats or pressures and no power to fight it (reactors). From someof theefforts describedearlier, it canbe analyzed that adherentsof Madrais can be categorizedas organizations with prospectorsanddefenders. Althoughinsome partsalso included types of analyzers and reactors. The affiliation of ADS / PACKU / AKUR with government and non- government organizations (BKKI, Director General of BHK, AMAN, ICRP, ANBTI) proves that those who adhere to the teachings of Madrais are categorized as defenders, meaning to survive by joining other organizations for organizational stability.
