Like tattwa lontars in general, this lontar does not have a specific writer's colophon.</br></br>There are various ceremonies that must be performed in the rice fields from plowing, planting rice to post-harvest. All of these ceremonies are aimed at obtaining the gift of Goddess Sri as the deity of grains. This lontar also explains various kinds of rice pests and the gods who control them.

Some of the ceremonial hints in this lontar seem irrelevant in modern times due to different types of rice and changes in the harvest period. What is stated in this lontar is the situation when Balinese people still planted Balinese rice, which had a longer planting and harvesting period.d a longer planting and harvesting period.)

This is a traditional ceremony for Hindus in Bali which happened in sanggah/merajan/temple. The people who came looked beautiful and handsome.</br>However, when they arrived at the holy place, everyone used their cellphones and took selfies at Baduraksa. When the ceremony begins, there are still people looking back asking for flowers. What do you think and remember when you go to a holy place? Only cellphones you remember to bring? Aren't you ashamed? Remembering to bring a cellphone but forgetting to bring an offering. We should be grateful because we have been given salvation by God Almighty, it is our duty. They don't even want to bring offerings, or even pray properly, but using the cell phone seems to have no limits. Can we pray with only pictures of flowers on Google? Don't be like that. Let's preserve our culture, don't forget your obligations, put down your cellphone first, focus on giving thanks and asking for forgiveness. If possible, the priests make the rules.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts at Banaras Hindu University (1957) and a Master of Arts at Panjab University (1961). He earned a doctorate in literature at the University of Indonesia. He wrote many books about the advancement of Hinduism and Balinese culture. These books include Upadesa (1967), Sarasamuscaya (1976), Slokantara (1982), Asta Brata in Development (1998), Sri Rama's Advice to the Present (1990), Hindu Man (1993), Meeting God Within (1993), 2005), Bhagawadgita in Bhishma Parwa (2010), Between Plato's Greek Philosophy and Upanisad Indian Philosophy Bhagawadgita (2010).sad Indian Philosophy Bhagawadgita (2010).)
• Tyra Kleen  + (Tyra Kleen (29 June 1874 - 17 September 19 … Tyra Kleen (29 June 1874 - 17 September 1951) was a Swedish artist, author and women's rights activist. Her paintings, illustrations, lithographs and publications were important to the Swedish fin de siècle art movement. But above all she was an independent ethnographical researcher.</br>In 1919, after WWI, she traveled to Java and Bali on a Swedish cargo ship. In Solo (Surakarta), Kleen worked with Beata van Helsdingen-Schoevers to write an anthropological study on the ritual court dances of Solo. Both also participated in the dance lessons. Kleen felt that dancing not only involved making the right movements on the sound of music, but that it also involved the transition into an altered state of mind to become in harmony not only with oneself, but with the Universe.</br></br>Unfortunately, this project ended in July 1920 in turmoil due to clashing personalities, and van Helsdingen-Schoevers died 17 August 1920 of an unknown disease. The project was finished in 1925 with help from "Volkslectuur" (the commission of folk literature), Mabel Fowler and miss Gobée, wife of the Head of the Office for Internal Affairs, titled "The Serimpi and Bedojo Dances at the Court of Surakarta", with 16 pages of text. In July 1925 there appeared a new edition with 30 pages of text. The coloured plates were reproductions made by the Topographic Service of Kleen's drawings. For everyone involved, but especially Kleen, the result was very disappointing, because she wanted to participate in this project in order to result in a standard reference work that could be presented worldwide.</br></br>When she arrived in Bali in 1920, she started a new project on the mudras, or ritual hand poses, of the Balinese Hindu priests with the assistance of the Rajah of Karangasem, Gusti Bagus Djilantik, whom she had met in Solo the year before, and of Piet de Kat Angelino. This was a turning point in her career because de Kat Angelino was able to explain to her the mudras and also encouraged the priests to cooperate. He was district-officer (controleur) of Gianjar and Klungklung for over a decade and had been collecting material on Balinese priests for years in his home in Gianjar. At his home, she could draw priests and their mudras. Their work together is presented in the book Mudras, with text and illustrations by Kleen, who acknowledged that much of the technical information about the poses and ceremonies came from de Kat Angelino and later on from R.Ng. Poerbatjaraka. Kleen spent the whole of 1921 in Java, working on the material collected in Bali the year before. She exhibited her pictures of the priests at the Art Society in Batavia. Collaboration with de Kat Angelino continued and she met him in Amsterdam on her way home. With his help an exhibition was arranged at the Colonial Institute in Amsterdam. The exhibition was favorably reviewed by de Kat Angelino in the magazine Nederlandsch Indië, Oud en Nieuw. What was the reaction at that time in the Netherlands on her work in Bali? Anne Hallema, a Dutch journalist and art-criticus wrote a critical and extensive article on the Mudra's which appeared Elseviers Geïllustreerd Maandschrift, Jaargang 34, 1924 pp. 145–147. He disqualified her work as an artist but praised her for her scientific contribution. He ends his article with stating that we have to be grateful that this stranger from the land of Selma Lagerlöf toke the initiativ to study the mudra's of the Balinese priests in performing his Hinduistic rituals. Specially the Indologists and Orientalists should be happy with the appearance of this publication.</br></br>Another crucial exhibition was Två vittberesta damer (Two Travelling Ladies) at Liljevalch's Public Art Gallery in Stockholm 1922, where she showed art and artifacts from Java and Bali together with Swedish photographer and author Ida Trotzig contributing works from Japan. This exhibition was the starting point for the "Bali-fever" in Sweden. Kleen's depictions of mudras were shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1923.</br></br>Besides Mudras, Kleen published two other books about Bali: Ni-Si-Pleng, a story about black children written for white children (1924), and, seven years later, Tempeldanser och musikinstrument pa Bali, printed in 300 numbered copies, translated in 1936 as The Temple Dances in Bali.</br></br>Kleen's study on the mudras, the exhibition in Amsterdam at the Colonial Institute and the publication of her books made her internationally known. For her scientific ethnographic work on Bali, Kleen was awarded the Johan August Wahlberg silver medal in April 1938, given to individuals who have "promoted anthropological and geographical science through outstanding efforts".</br></br>Walter Spies was the central figure in the circle of artists residing on the island in Ubud, Klungklung and Karangasem. He was considered to be the greatest expert on Balinese dance and drama. Together with the British dance critic Beryl de Zoete, he wrote the standard 1938 work Dance and Drama in Bali. Spies was jealous of the international success of Kleen[citation needed] and wrote a very critical nine-page review of the Temple Dances in Bali in the journal Djawa (1939). He complained, "the text and the depictions are filled with so many mistakes, errors and incorrect statements that one must shake one's head." Spies claims that as an ethnographic document the book has no value. As a result, there were nearly no references to the work of Kleen in any ethnographic periodicals or publications after this critical review. It is only in 1962 that C. Hooykaas in his article "Saiva-Siddhanta in Java and Bali" supported the importance of the study on mudras by de Kat Angelino and Kleen.</br></br>Kleen contributed work to various European magazines, including Sluyters' Monthly, Nederlandsch Indië Oud en Nieuw, Ord och Bild and Inter-Ocean, between 1920 and 1925 and influenced in this way the perception and expectations of foreign visitors to Bali. Furthermore, she influenced with her colourful, vivid and dynamic art-deco drawing style the development of painting by local artists in Bali, not in a one-way influence but more a kind of mutual influence.Mostly these local paintings were made for the touristic market and depicted daily life instead of exclusively being concerned with gods, demons and the Ramayana and Mahabharata epics. In this way, she took part in the marketing of "the last paradise". This also meant that she became associated with this type of magazine drawing instead of her more important ethnographic publications. more important ethnographic publications.)

• Literature Melawan pandemi dengan fokus diri luar dan dalam  + (We have been living side by side with the … We have been living side by side with the Corona virus for two years. But, there is no sign that the world is getting any better. What can be seen on the news is that this virus is getting more and more powerful with more types of mutations. The government has tried to reduce the number of casualties during the pandemic. </br>Restrictions on community activities, vaccinations, and other policies should be considered to reduce the spread of the corona virus. It is clear that the tourism sector has been the hardest hit by the Corona virus. Because tourists cannot enter the country, the security of people whose daily lives rely on the tourism sector have been become fragile. Airports were closed, hotel were quiet, employees were laid off, shops at attractions were closed with not shoppers. </br>If we want to recover from this bad condition, it is not only the government's job, but all of our jobs in both big and small way to restore Bali. There are two ways, inwardly and outwardly, to fight the pandemic.</br>We must make our own bodies become stable, healthy and able to fight disease and viruses. The first and most important step is to eat nutritious foods including fruits, vegetables and multi-vitamins to support a healthy body. Exercising regularly is also important to staying healthy. Especially in difficult times like now, just being able to eat is gratifying. We can try to encourage ourselves to do even more. For example, take a look at your yard. Maybe there is room to grow vegetables such as spinach, moringa, chili and others. If you don't have a large yard, there is vertical gardening. I often see videos of people who have succeeded in growing crops without soil. Eating plant products from your own yard is healthier and can save expenses. If we are already physically healthy, our souls also need to be healthy. A healthy mind also makes a calm soul. Working from home allows us to have more time at home. Do not use this free time to listen to fake or untrue news which makes the mind confused. If the mind is chaotic, our soul will not be calm. Instead of watching and spreading news that is not certain, it is best to get back to a hobbies that make the heart happy. Cooking, singing, and making jokes are examples of good hobbies. You can even make videos of cooking, singing, or telling jokes and then upload them to social media. These videos can entertain others and make the mind happy. If you like to cook, you can sell your food and increase your income. Social media can be used as a means of self-development, not a means of poisoning the mind.</br>Soul and body, both in balance, are things that are essential. Parents, children, grandchildren, uncles or aunts, and grandparents can all become victims of viruses and victims of misleading news. We should be able to protect, provide correct information, and comply with health protocols. If we have more fortune, we can also share it with others highlighted by many movements dedicated for caring for others. For example, people in need can take free groceries, and those who have more can refill their groceries. That is how we will rise from this pandemic inside and out.ll rise from this pandemic inside and out.)

However, Nitisastra is actually a written work originating from Canakya Nitisastra in Sanskrit, written by Canakya Pandit during the reign of King Asoka in Magada, India.</br></br>Kakawin Nitisastra contains proper manners to be human, characteristics of a pious and impious person, the obligations of a student, a person who is married, and an obligation for priests.

Actually, this palm-leaf text is a Sanskrit text that is thought to originate from the tenth century. Possibly, this Sanskrit text is also a copy of more authentic Puranas. The Sanskrit text in Wrespati Tattwa consists of 74 verses and each verse is given a translation and commentary in ancient Javanese language. Such system has been common since the reign of King Dharmawangsa in Panjalu. Therefore, this palm-leaf text was probably translated into ancient Javanese around that era.</br></br>Wrespati (Wrihaspati) was a great rsi who became a teacher of the gods. He is a brahmana who rules Planet Jupiter. Therefore, if Planet Jupiter approaches the moon, Hindus consider it a good day to start learning spiritual knowledge. In Wrespati Tattwa, there is a dialog between Rsi Wrihaspati and Lord Shiva, the ruler of Mount Kailasa. The content of the dialog includes the existence of cosmic consciousness or cetana, and cosmic darkness or acetana.</br></br>Cetana and acetana cause various types of differences in the universe. Cetana and acetana also cause an increase and deterioration of the mind. Because of increased awareness, humans reach higher planets after death, which is known as swargaloka (heavens). Conversely, when human consciousness degenerates, they sink into terrible planets called naraka (hell). So, heaven and hell are on other planets, not on Earth.</br></br>Many people mistakenly interpret the teachings of Wrespati Tattwa and conclude that heaven and hell only exist in the mind. This is a wrong conclusion. In fact, if the text of Wrespati Tattwa is interpreted more deeply, the mind is cause of humans’ going to heaven, hell or achieve liberation. The mind binds man in the chains of desires, and without intelligence and knowledge, man will be made degenerated by his own desires.</br></br>Lontar Wrespati Tattwa also teaches about how to achieve liberation. According to this text, liberation can only be achieved if one is freed from illusions. Illusion means to think that he is a gross body and think that this material nature is his eternal abode. Such awareness can only be achieved by a process called yoga. Yoga does not mean merely gymnastic movements. Yoga means connecting the mind with spiritual awareness.necting the mind with spiritual awareness.)

The leader of the Saratis is called Tapini or Tarpini, who is usually a woman. Tapini is also a title for a priest's wife who has knowledge and skills in making many types of offerings. In Balinese belief, the Tapinis are supervised by Bhatari Durga.</br></br>Lontar Yadnya Prakerti contains many strict rules regarding procedures for making offerings. The most important thing is the ethics and cleanliness of people who make the offerings. According to this scripture, not any person are allowed to make offerings. Because banten is an offering to God and the demigods, the process of making it must be pure.</br></br>The materials used to make offerings must be natural and disposable. Banten should not be made of plastic materials, because Hindu people are familiar with the concepts of purity (sukla) and defilement (cemer). Therefore, according to the essence of Lontar Yadnya Prakerti, offerings to God and the demigods must be clean, fresh and pure.</br></br>There are some basic ethics for a Sarati according to Lontar Yadnya Prakerti. First, a sarati must be clean and pure in body, mind and words. Secondly, Sarati must not forget to give charity to a brahmin (priest).

If his actions are evil for life, the spirit will be trapped in those strange places.</br></br>In order for the spirit to pass through strange places easily, Putru Saji Tarpana gave directions to the road and supplies that the spirit had to carry. These road directions also contain provisions that must be given by the spirit to the astral creatures he encounters.</br></br>But this does not mean that only with a large ceremony of death can the spirit be freed from all sins.

There are gadung flowers, lotus, kayu mas, sanggalangit, jasmine, magnolia and so on. The boat was very beautiful.</br></br>The final chapter expresses regret of the poet for not being able to explain the grandeur of the ceremony as the king expected.

There are people who die naturally due to age, there are those who die from illness even though they are young. In many instances, some die because of accidents, natural disasters or being killed. The most unfortunate thing is that it was suicide.</br></br>According to Yama Purana Tattwa, reasonable death is referred to as starch, whereas death due to accident, disaster or because of an animal is called wrong starch. Death due to murder or suicide is called starch. The ways in which humans deal with death have different effects on the consciousness of the spirit after death. The spirits of people who die naturally are different from those of those who die in accidents or commit suicide. Lontar Yama Purana Tattwa gives a category of these types of death and describes the state of a person's spirit if he dies in a certain way.</br></br>Lontar Yama Purana Tattwa is a collection of dialogues between Lord Yama, the lord of death, and the great rsi in Janaloka.

• Wayan Sila  + (“The very first night I slept over at my n … “The very first night I slept over at my new studio an owl flew into the garden. It wasn’t a coincidence that I noticed it perched in a tree,” says Balinese artist Wayan Sila. “This was a</br>special experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”</br></br>The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as a</br>guardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinese</br>mythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member is</br>pregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasa</br>Indonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of the</br>night.</br>“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. I</br>was intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has now</br>manifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl also</br>encourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.</br>Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artist</br>Wayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,</br>surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for a</br>child to learn to draw and paint.</br>Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. In</br>the evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the Classical</br>Kamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began to</br>create their own distinctive style.</br>The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized by</br>narratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmental</br>landscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,</br>depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the human</br>figure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by an</br>individual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its roots</br>firmly entrenched here in Ubud.</br></br>Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense of</br>balance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlined</br>in black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, a</br>small piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x</br>80 cms, may take up to six months to complete. “In 1997 I was inspired to include owls in my compositions after seeing a wonderful sketch by a Japanese child.”</br></br>Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association with</br>the people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in</br>2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has </br>enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in the</br>Indonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, and</br>numerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung Rai</br>Museum of Art in Ubud.</br></br>“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching young</br>Japanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques. I do this each year when I visit</br>Japan.” Wayan has since developed a healthy market for his works there and continues to</br>ell to the Japanese tourists who often visit his Ubud studio/gallery.</br></br>Wayan Sila, acrylic on Canvas, 2012,</br>45x 60cm.</br>Wayan Sila</br>Garden + Bale studio of Wayan Sila.</br>Wayan Sila. 2012, chinese ink +</br>acrylic on canvas, 60x80cm.</br>Wayan’s cooperative works with Japanese poet Yoko Jatiasih have been the focus of two books. They initially</br>collaborated in 1998 to create music and poetry for his paintings. In 2004 their first book “Kata Kata” Echoes From The</br>Woods, and then in 2010 “Pelan Pelan” were published.</br>Browsing through these books, the creative synergy between the two is easy to recognize. Yoko’s short poems, no more</br>than 6 lines, resonate with an uncomplicated intelligence. Upon the opposing page to the text are Wayan’s</br>complimentary images created especially to accompany each poem.</br>As you contemplate the words essence, as well as study Wayan’s images, the mysterious bird of the nights’full round</br>eyes are firmly transfixed upon you. The fusion of words along with the images perplex the imagination, and then defy</br>you to believe their medium is the owl’s silent and alluring gaze.</br>In 2011 Wayan relocated to his new studio gallery in Jalan Bisma in Ubud. Journey 400 meters along Jalan Bisma until the</br>roadside urban development gives way to the effervescence of the padis. Down on the right hand side nestled in the</br>sawah you will find his small abode. Look for the sign on the road then follow the narrow path that divides the green</br>swaying fields to his studio/gallery encircled by the bamboo fence.</br>Wayan has created a personal space that reflects the elements that enrich and sustain him. Situated in the middle of the</br>yard he has built a bamboo bale which functions as his studio, yet also as a place of quiet retreat. The surrounding</br>garden is abundant with organic vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, ornamental shrubs and flowers. Indeed, Wayan</br>has created his special own oasis.</br>As you enter his two Bali dogs are quick to offer enthusiastic toothy greetings. The verdant vegetation is soothing and</br>inviting. I discover two rabbits, four exotic birds and frogs and snakes frequent visitors, so Wayan tells me. Stone</br>carvings covered with brilliant green moss hide among the foliage, shrines and small Hindu temples are adorned with</br>offerings and the sweet sent of burning incense seduces the senses. An outhouse serves as a simple kitchen and two </br>rooms contain Wayan’s gallery painting collection and books for sale.</br>When we observe Wayan’s paintings we enter into a beautiful and extraordinarily tranquil world. His owls’ peer out</br>from within forests and lush scenes, their big eyes possess a magnetic pull and communicate a language that is</br>deciphered in our hearts. Wayan Sila is a painter of immense sensitivity and his works are vehicles of healing qualities and love.re vehicles of healing qualities and love.)
• I Nyoman Popo Priyatna Danes  + (“What the modern architecture is still try … “What the modern architecture is still trying to achieve today has been implemented in the traditional Balinese architecture for centuries now, where the concepts of energy conservation and environmental preservation are amongst the fundamental elements in every design.” – Popo Danes</br></br>From private homes and restaurants to starred hotels and luxury resorts, the renowned Balinese architect Nyoman Popo Danes is known for his exemplary designs that showcase a distinct flair of being in harmony with the local culture and nature. This green-conscientious architect always integrates eco-friendly aspects of Bali’s traditional architecture into his designs.</br></br>“While some architects are very focused on making their buildings look stunning from the outside, my main concern has always been the functionality of each aspect of the building. I always make sure that my designs are in harmony with their natural surroundings; that each room has a function; that a strong connection between the architecture, landscape, and interior is established. I don’t care if my architecture is not photogenic, as long as it serves its function well.”</br></br>As an international destination, Bali attracts people from all corners of the world with its uniqueness. Therefore, Popo believes that every building on the island needs to be able to help these people feel that they are in Bali. “When you travel, you want to be immersed in the local atmosphere. In Bali, a building should exude the feeling of locality so when you enter it, you know you’re not in Jakarta, Hong Kong, or anywhere else.”</br></br>The works of the two-time ASEAN Energy Award winner (in the category of Best Practice in Tropical Architecture) are known as some of the most striking in design, functionality, and environmental consciousness. Air conditioners take up the biggest energy consumption in a building, and Popo’s eco-friendly creations have the ability to ‘communicate’ with nature to lessen energy consumption through the overuse of air conditioners.</br></br>“I create buildings that have open pavilions (just like in typical Balinese buildings) to allow breeze to blow in, and I don’t put too many glass windows. Then again, air circulation or heat is not the only reason why air conditioners are overused. People also tend to turn their air conditioners on to escape from the noise pollution outside their buildings. When all windows and doors are shut, it’s quiet inside. This is where nature steps in. Towering trees can be a great noise filter, and they also serve as a fresh, cool air provider.”</br></br>From Indonesia to India and China to the Philippines, most of Popo’s architecture projects involve challenging landscapes. “It’s never easy. A lot of projects i’ve been doing so far (especially for luxury resorts) involve slanted soil, hilly surfaces and everything else not flat. Of course I can always take the easy job; for example in Bali, I get so many offers to design a building on a flat surface. The thing is, in order for me to build it, I have to get rid of a rice field. I will never build anything on a rice field. Rice field is a symbol of prosperity for the Balinese, and is home to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”e to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”)

Apart from Eka Dasa Rudra, Bali will welcome the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony which is held once every 1000 years, every last three digits of the Saka year reach 0. However, judging from the current condition of Balinese culture, it is now increasingly dim. Will the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony still hold Balinese culture? Because many young people have left Balinese culture, forgetting the Balinese language. Then how. I hope the government can listen to my advice. My suggestion is that the government must infuse Balinese culture to young people, by developing the entertainment industry. Countries like Japan and Korea can maintain their culture because young people watch their own culture. Most young people in Indonesia, especially in Bali watch foreign films and play foreign entertainment with a foreign culture, so that young Balinese have an interest in foreign cultures, and end up having the dream of wanting to live in a foreign country. If the government wants to develop the entertainment industry, then young people will be aware of the culture they have, so they will aspire to develop their own country. In addition to solving internal problems, the entertainment industry is very profitable. With this, Balinese culture will be increasingly recognized by the world and its influence can match Japanese and Korean culture. Then can this be realized? The Entertainment Industry can be anything, such as Movies, Animation, Games, Songs, Etc. Many Balinese HR talents are suitable for this, such as painters who will create 2D graphic designs, City People who are talented with Coding, and Undagi or Sculptors who will create 3D designs. because at this time, it is time for us to modernize our culture so that it can be accepted by our younger generation, even the world by our younger generation, even the world)

Tourism in Bali has had a positive impact on the economy of the region and the country as a whole. Apart from that, it also provides job opportunities for many people.</br>However, the increasing number of tourists from various countries visiting Bali means that more foreign cultures are also coming to Bali, which of course causes a shift in Balinese culture. There are concerns that in the future the culture in Bali will fade due to modernization and rapid lifestyle changes. Bali's rich and diverse culture, such as traditional dances, carvings and traditional ceremonies, is increasingly rare due to the influence of tourism which leads to modernization. Many of the tourists who come to Bali view Balinese culture as mere entertainment and do not understand the meaning behind every traditional dance and ceremony. In addition, many tourists who come to Bali are just to relax on the beach or party, and are not interested in learning or appreciating Balinese culture and some even bring their culture to Bali. As a result, many Balinese feel compelled to adapt to the wishes of tourists, and ignore their traditions and customs.</br>However, we cannot fully blame tourism for the fading/shifting of our culture. It is very important for us to balance tourism and also the preservation of Balinese culture. Therefore, we must jointly preserve Balinese culture, by teaching cultural values to the younger generation and keeping Balinese cultural heritage alive. And also educate tourists about the values and beauty of Balinese culture. That way, we can ensure that tourism in Bali in the future will not only provide economic benefits, but also help preserve the rich and meaningful culture of Bali.</br>In conclusion, the tourism industry in Bali must appreciate and support the sustainability of Balinese culture so that it does not become a victim of modernization. The rich and unique Balinese culture must be maintained so that it can become a sustainable tourist attraction and maintain the survival of the Balinese people.ntain the survival of the Balinese people.)

This causes many foreign tourists and tourists to come to Bali to walk around. The arrival of tourists to Bali is actually welcomed by the Balinese people because they can help the Balinese people whose field of work is in the tourism sector and introduce world progress to the community. However, it turns out that tourist behavior in Bali is not as beautiful as we think. Instead of walking around enjoying the beauty of the island of Bali, they are destroying the beauty of the island of Bali, behaving as they please and trampling on our cultural heritage. The behavior of naughty tourists is indeed infuriating and this also happens in various popular destinations in the world. Not long ago it went viral that a pair of foreign tourists became angry and clashed with Pecalang in Bali. This was because a pair of foreign tourists felt unacceptable because they were prohibited from crossing a road, because there was a Melasti ceremony procession to welcome Nyepi Day in Bali.</br></br>We as Balinese citizens should not allow this to continue to happen to our ancestral heritage on the island of Bali. If this continues, it can of course cause discomfort to the people of Bali. To overcome this incident, the government has actually made various efforts starting from socialization, efforts to give tickets to foreign tourists who violate it and even many influencers who have made the tourists' actions viral on social media with captions that vilify them. By making this viral, actually we are just as bad as them, why should we vilify people on social media who haven't even changed anything and the tourists are still doing the same thing. A lot of shouting is useless, but try to make the tourist stop breaking Balinese rules</br></br>As a government in a new era, it would be better, apart from setting an example of good travel behavior, one of the efforts that continues to be made is to socialize what can and cannot be done (do's and don'ts) by all tourists or foreign tourists who vacation in Indonesia, especially in Bali. and Lombok. Apart from that, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy/Tourism and Creative Economy Agency (Kemenparekraf/Baparekraf) also continues to move quickly together with the provincial government (Pemprov) to handle cases of foreign tourists acting up. So, in the future it won't just be about increasing the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia. But it can also improve the quality of tourists, can also improve the quality of tourists,)

However, it houses a population of 4.29 million people as of June 2022. It is possible that this number will grow even more in the future. The relationship between these two facts can certainly be seen that the increasing number of indigenous people will also require more land to accommodate them. However, the problem arises when a phenomenon occurs where native Balinese choose to sell their land to foreigners. If this continues to happen, then it is possible that the portion of land ownership in Bali will be controlled by foreigners rather than native Balinese. Is selling this land wrong? In my opinion, there is certainly no harm if we use a short-term perspective. However, selling is not wise if we look at it with a long-term orientation. Then what is the solution? As natives of Bali, we must be able to envision what will happen in the future when many land assets change hands to foreigners. With this in mind, it is hoped that a strong sense of ethnocentrism will emerge regarding our ownership of the island. In addition, there needs to be a good understanding of how to manage land so that it can be productive and provide a sustainable source of income rather than just selling it. Finding instant wealth is easy and not as difficult as finding happiness that can be passed on to our children and grandchildren.ssed on to our children and grandchildren.)

According to data released by the Bali Central Bureau of Statistics on May 2, 2023, the number of tourist visits to Bali in February 2023 was 370,832 visits. When compared to the previous month, the number of tourist visits in March 2023 increased by 14.59%. Then, don't let this make the Balinese people complacent and exploit Bali on a large scale for the world of tourism by ignoring the Tri Hita Karana order which is the breath of life in Bali. This can be seen in several lowland and highland areas, as well as Bali's coastal areas controlled by foreign investors with the construction of large-scale villas or hotels. The Balinese people themselves, who are predominantly Hindu, have lost public access to enjoy or utilize these lands. For example, public access to the use of the beach for Melasti activities is limited, because the beach area is in the Hotel Area. Dealing with blind things like this, should be tightened starting from each customary village to protect land from being controlled by investors. We must not have intermediaries among us who are concerned with personal gain, but sacrifice public access for our future generations. In addition, at the government level, it is necessary to tighten development permits for foreigners in Bali. If you want to get income from the unproductive land you own, you can do it with a lease or contract system, so that the ownership of the land remains the property of the Balinese people.

It is because of the unique culture of Bali that causes foreign tourists to vacation to Bali. So tourism in Bali is also increasing. However, problems often occur such as traffic jams and garbage problems. For this reason I hope that the government and traffic monitors will pay more attention to traffic conditions so that traffic jams can be overcome. As well as for tourists and people who visit tourist attractions to keep the environment clean by throwing garbage in place.
