YOGYAKARTA - What are the basics and life guidelines of the Indonesian nation? The life guidelines of the Indonesian people agreed for a long time are Pancasila. Pancasila contains five basics regarding the identity of the Indonesian nation. The precepts of Pancasila describe Pancasila as Guidelines for the life of the Indonesian nation in the nation and state for Indonesian people as a whole and complete.

Pancasila 1 to 5 contains divine, humanitarian, unity, populist, and justice values. As quoted from the book What Is The Reason: The Learning of Pancasila Moral Education and PPKN, by Prof. Dr. Hamid Darmadi, M.Pd, the values of Pancasila are used as a way of life for the Indonesian nation to achieve the welfare of birth and inner life in a society that is heterogeneous or diverse.

The values contained in Pancasila come from Indonesian culture. As the core of cultural values in Indonesia, Pancasila is also referred to as the ideals of the Indonesian nation's morals. With another explanation, Pancasila as Guidelines for the Life of the Indonesian nation also means that Pancasila is designated as a source of national moral ideals and becomes a form of Indonesian culture.

Pancasila also regulates the Indonesian nation's perspective as a guide to daily life. An example of Pancasila as a guideline for the nation's life can be a direction in acting and behaving for Indonesian citizens.

The three main functions of Pancasila are the basis of the state, the views of the nation's life, and the ideology of the nation. The function of Pancasila as Guidelines for the life of the Indonesian nation is believed by all Indonesians as a guideline for the life of the nation and state. The function of Pancasila is what makes the value and moral education of Pancasila needed from an early age.

The function of Pancasila as the nation's ideology also means that Pancasila must be used as a guideline for life for the Indonesian people in influencing developments that occur in society. With the holding of the values of Pancasila, the Indonesian people will not be swayed without direction and purpose.

For example, in the first precept, as citizens, we must respect each other religious people and also carry out God's orders in accordance with their respective religions.

In other precepts, we can also carry out other values, for example upholding the public interest rather than the interests of individuals, helping each other to help fellow humans regardless of background, respecting each other, seeking deliberation for consensus in deciding a decision involving the public interest.

Pancasila as a view of life, of course, we can apply it in everyday life. By applying the value of Pancasila and also making Pancasila a living view, of course, our lives will be much more organized and also give birth to security and comfort between one another.
