Dhammapada English Source Text is very famous among the Asian, the Western and the European. We have the Indonesian Translation as the only one Translation admitted by Yayasan Abdi Dhamma Indonesian and the Source as Original Text from Buddha Education Association Inc. There are 12 (twelve) poems in English of chapter XVI The Dear Ones and in Indonesian as Target Language with the same title of The Dear Ones as Perasaan; also in the same chapter XVI. The objective of this research is to determine the kinds of translation techniques used in The Dear Ones chapter XVI. The second objective is to find out that there is no deviation between the English The Dear Ones Chapter XVI and the Indonesian Dhammapada Translation Text of Perasaan. The methods used in this research are the qualitative approach with referensial and translation techniques since it is the suitable approach for this literature translation works. The result of this research is the use of Adaptation Technique Translation dominating the translation text. The Adaptation technique is used to define the cultural aspect of the human consciousness. The second is Word for Word Translation Technique. It is used to define the fixed word. The miscellaneous technique combination both Adaptation and Word for Word techniques is used when the translator wanted to keep the aesthetic norms. There is definitely no deviation between English Original Source Text and Indonesian Dhammapada as Target Language. I hope that this research is useful and gives benefit for the researcher, the student, and the reader. Thankyou.
