Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the contemporary religious life and social activities of Buddhist communities in Indonesia. There have been a number of earlier studies focusing on the historical development and decline of Buddhism, more specifically in its relation to development of Hinduism in Indonesia. This research highlights the existing Buddhist population in Indonesia, the causes for its survival, and linkageof their present set-up with the past of Buddhism in Indonesia. This study is of high potential relevance as it is a rarely touched upon subject by scholars. This research used a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data collection was done through library research, interviews, questionnaires and observation methods. The research subjects were chosen from Buddhist communities living in Java, Bali and Sumatra. A structuralism and functionalism theoretical approach was utilized to see how the Buddhist institution of sangha(monastic order) has been functioning as the power base of Indonesian Buddhist society in performing the revival and survival of Buddhist constituent elements namely norms, customs, traditions and institutions.
