Subud (pronounced ) is an international and interfaith spiritual movement that originated in Indonesia in the 1920s. It was founded by Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo (1901–1987). The central practice of Subud is a spiritual exercise known as the latihan kejiwaan, which Muhammad Subuh described as receiving guidance from "the Power of God" or "the Great Life Force."
Subuh stated that Subud was neither a new teaching nor a religion. He suggested that, through the latihan, members could be guided towards a religion suited to them, such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism. While many Subud members believe that adherence to a religion may provide discipline that supports inner development, it is not considered a requirement for participation in Subud or the latihan.
