This study aims to understand the meaning, the values of Hindu religious education, and the implications of the existence of the Habukung tradition as a non-formal learning medium in the death ceremony of Hindu Kaharingan people.The research method used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data collection techniques used were participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. The informants consisted of community leaders, basir (religious leaders), Habukung artists, and Hindu religious teachers. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusion. The results of the study indicate that Habukung is a form of religious and cultural expression that has theological, symbolic, and educational meanings. This tradition not only functions as entertainment in death ceremonies, but also as a means of passing on spiritual, moral, and social values. Habukung contains Hindu religious education values such as divinity, morality, spirituality, susila (ethics), and tatwa (philosophy) which are taught through symbolism and direct practice in society. In the context of education, Habukung is an effective character education medium and a space for cross-generational learning. heoretically, the results of this study strengthen Vygotsky's constructivism approach, symbolic interactionism, and Bhattacharya's holistic education. Habukung has been proven to play a role as a means of non-formal education based on local culture that can support the strengthening of the religious and cultural identity of the Kaharingan Hindu community.
