waisak, borobudur, dan wisata. →

Saat hari raya Idul Fitri, pagi-pagi sekali saya sudah bersiap dengan segenap atribut ibadah. Sarung, baju muslim, peci, sajadah, dan tak lupa parfum. Saya pun berjalan menuju masjid bersama keluarga untuk melaksanakan shalat Id. Namun, perasaan damai menyambut hari raya itu perlahan menghilang berganti dengan kekesalan. Perjalanan menuju masjid macet total dipenuhi oleh ratusan hingga ribuan kendaraan yang mengantri untuk menuju masjid. Tidak, mereka yang berada di dalam kendaraan tidak seperti saya yang akan menunaikan ibadah shalat. Mereka hanya penonton. Di kiri kanan jalan, sudah berjubel pedagang makanan, minuman, dan barang-barang lain yang biasa dijajakan di lokasi wisata: terompet, kembang api, petasan, boneka, topi, kacamata, dan sebagainya. Setelah bersusah payah, sampai juga saya di masjid. Suasana di masjid lebih ramai lagi. Orang-orang berkerumun di sekeliling masjid dengan kamera dan camcorder mereka. Ada anak-anak membawa balon yang menangis meraung-marung kepada ibunya. Ada rombongan gadis usia belasan dengan pakaian mininya saling bercengkerama dan tertawa-tawa. Mereka semua berpesta di antara saya dan umat muslim lainnya yang sedang beribadah. Hura-hura di antara ritual ibadah. Saat shalat dan khutbah, suara imam dan khatib kalah bersaing dengan suara gumaman ribuan orang penonton ditambah suara jepretan kamera di sana-sini. Ibadah sudah tidak nyaman lagi untuk dilaksanakan.

Untungnya ilustrasi di atas tidak akan pernah terjadi. Untungnya saya orang Islam, agama terbesar di Indonesia. Dan ibadah shalat di masjid bukanlah menjadi sesuatu yang bisa disebut eksotis.

Sejak Kamis kemarin, status Path, Twitter, Facebook, dan jejaring sosial lainnya dari teman-teman saya memamerkan bahwa mereka sudah berada ataupun sedang dalam perjalanan menuju Jogja. Beberapa memilih menuju Solo. Ada yang menggunakan kereta api, ada yang dengan bis, hingga pesawat terbang. Seorang teman mengatakan bahwa seluruh kursi kereta menuju Jogja pada hari Kamis hingga Sabtu telah habis dipesan. Seorang teman lainnya, seorang reporter, mengatakan ia sedih tidak dapat pergi ke Jogja karena ada tugas liputan dari kantornya. Mereka semua berencana menuju satu tempat yang sama: Candi Borobudur.

Perayaan Waisak kini sudah menjadi sebuah sarana rekreasi bagi banyak orang. Kita pada dasarnya, mengutip Agustinus Wibowo, adalah para pemburu eksotisme. Orang berbondong-bondong menuju Candi Borobudur untuk memuaskan hasrat akan tontonan yang eksotis. Biksu itu eksotis. Lampion terbang itu eksotis. Lafal doa-doa itu eksotis. Upacara Waisak pun menjadi tontonan demi hilangnya rasa penasaran.

Toleransi beragama di mata masyarakat Indonesia berarti “kami bebas melakukan apa saja selama umat beragama lain tetap bisa melaksanakan ibadahnya.” Padahal, toleransi beragama berarti menghargai umat beragama lain dengan turut serta menjaga kekhusyukan beribadahnya. Turut serta artinya diperlukan peran aktif. Peran aktif bisa bermacam-macam bentuknya, termasuk tidak menjadikan upacara Waisak sebagai komoditas wisata dan beramai-ramai menontonnya.

Selamat hari raya Waisak. Menjalankan ibadah dengan tenang dan nyaman adalah hak seluruh umat beragama.

well said, Mas Aji. :)

Super Moon
— June 23, 2013

Be sure to look out for the Moon these next few months as it approaches Perigee, because the full moons during these times will appear exceptionally large. The Moon will be at its Perigee, or closest approach, in July 23 and it will reach full moon only a few minutes after it passes this point in its orbit.

These ‘super moons’ not only appear larger because they are physically closer but, combined with a full moon, the mind can play tricks on you to think they are much larger. This phenomena is called the Moon Illusion. Try to catch these full moons as they rise/set because the illusion works when there is an object in the foreground, like a tree, building or mountains.

SUPER MOON

I’m excited for the SUPER MOON.

“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.” - Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene

One of my favorite stories about celebrity.

“I made the chocolate noodles by boiling 3/4 of a cup of water and then mixing in two grams of agar powder. I then melted one and a half cups of Hershey’s chocolate and mixed it in with the agar solution along with 1/3 of a cup of chocolate milk to keep it from getting too thick. For the marshmallow noodles I followed the exact same recipe, but swapped out the chocolate milk for regular milk.”

Indonesian artist Eko Nugroho creates sculptures and 2D works that probe the tension between beauty and violence. Nugroho’s life-size resin sculptures of gun-toting human figures in flower suits are unnerving at a first glance. Rebels or enemies in unlikely disguises, these characters elicit a mixed reaction of fear and surprise, even laughter. Combining text and images, Nugroho’s elaborate tapestries put a surreal, folkloric spin on propaganda art. Take a look at some photos of Eko Nugroho’s work by Desi Suryanto and Oki Permatasari HERE: http://hifructose.com/2013/05/08/eko-nugrohos-sculptures-and-tapestries-mix-danger-and-beauty/
