Based on a circular letter from the provincial government, all villages and schools throughout Bali, are to carry out the Balinese Language Month (Bulan Bahasa Bali).

Usually the activities that are definitely held by the community are competitions. there are competitions for telling stories, giving speeches, developing mates, writing scripts, writing lontar, singing Balinese pop songs, and others. Through this competition, we can find out the potentials of the Balinese people in learning the Balinese language, especially children and teenagers. They are very skilled at speaking Balinese, so they can win the championship. Do people want to learn Balinese because they are asked to take part in a competition or is it just for the sake of winning? Hopefully not only because of that. The thing that is expected, the people of Bali want to learn Balinese language everyday, not just to get a champion. So that after winning, you don't stop learning Balinese. The most important thing is that we, as Balinese, do have an obligation so that the Balinese language, which is the root of Balinese culture, can be stable in the future. How to?

Paplajahan Ané Bakatang Tiang Uli Bali + (While people visit Bali for a multitude of … While people visit Bali for a multitude of reasons this island is special to me as I have called it home for the last 3 years. Bali has taught me some lessons that I will keep with me in other stages of life.An important lesson I’ve learned is that every place presents you with an opportunity to grow, you just need the courage to say yes! Bali gives everyone the opportunity to explore the outdoors (either in the mountains or underwater), and this gives everyone the chance to gain a new skill, make new friends or develop a love for the natural world. Recently, I have gotten the courage and determination to say yes to become a certified Open Water Diver.This experience has been incredibly rewarding, as I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, my friendships grew with those I trained with and my eyes were opened to the beauty of the underwater world. With this opportunity, I realised how pressing the issues of coral bleaching and unsustainable fishing actually are and am now more determined to be a part of the solution. From this, I will join a coral restoration project in Les Village because no matter how small we contribute, every action makes a difference. We must think about the global implications yet, take action locally.The Balinese open up their island to all of us, foreigners and Indonesians so we can experience the island’s beauty and it is crucial for us to not take this for granted. I realise that a society which hugely depends on tourism has a risk, therefore respecting the customs and traditions in Bali should be a no brainer, as we would hope and expect the same of others if they are visiting our home. As of 25th March 2023, 76 foreigners have been deported fromBali for reasons that range from overstaying visas to committing crimes. Although this is a small percentage compared to the number of tourists, in this digital era, their actions go viral and can harm the image of Bali. While Bali is well-known for its tourism because of its beauty, kindness and approachability, I believe that rules should be enforced in order to maintain the quality of tourism that this island offers.Moreover, during my time here I’ve come to realise that it’s important to diversify and not put all our eggs in the same basket. During the pandemic, tourism was at a standstill which hit the people and local economy dramatically. Therefore, the Balinese have adapted to diversify their work portfolio such as farming, establishing small businesses or fishing. This lesson will carry on with me in the future, because it has shown me that trying different opportunities will help us to continue growing and adapting to an ever changing world.I will continue to learn more lessons in Bali and am grateful for all the opportunities and experiences that I’ve gotten alongside the lessons that have come with it.ngside the lessons that have come with it.)

This year at Besakih Temple, the Ida Bhatara Turun Kabeh ceremony was held, which caused many Hindus to pray at Besakih Temple.From year to year, Besakih Temple has begun to develop. Previously, Besakih Temple was still not organized enough, but now Besakih Temple has many new and sophisticated facilities.

The Balinese government made a ban on the use of plastic for worshipers and merchants. Devotees who use plastic bags will be replaced with environmentally friendly bags, so that there is no accumulation of plastic waste around Besakih Temple. We can apply this in our daily lives, to reduce the use of plastic waste and replace it with environmentally friendly bags.Not only that, on tiktok, the most trendy and viral social media today, there are millennials who utilize plastic waste into paintings that are expensive.

Tourism in Bali is the source of the economy that supports most Balinese people. But as it is now, Bali tourism has dimmed since the Covid-19 virus is endemic in the world. It has been two years since the Covid-19 virus has attacked our beloved earth. Several policies have been implemented. However, Bali tourism has not been able to return to normal. We as citizens, especially as young Balinese, should provide and carry out creative efforts that can stimulate tourism in Bali.In this era of globalization, everything is digital and sophisticated. We can use this advanced technological development as a tool to generate tourism in Bali. One of the creative businesses that can generate tourism in Bali is an application called BALI MELALI. This application uses technology in the form of VR or Virtual Reality. In the BALI MELALI application, it displays tourism destinations in Bali. If you use this VR technology, tourists or anyone who has downloaded the BALI MELALI application can see the tourism places that we want. Using this VR, tourism destinations in Bali can be seen for real, this can foster a sense of longing for Bali and cause tourists to want to come again to Bali.In the BALI MELALI application, it not only displays well-known tourism destinations, but should also display places that are not widely known. In Bali, there are actually many tourist destinations that are not well known. If you only show places like Kuta Beach, Pandawa Beach, many tourists will already know. That's why in this application it is very good if it shows places that are not known by many people. Not only that, the BALI MELALI application does not only display virtual or images, but can be filled with sounds that are in that place. For example at Candikuning Waterfall, if we travel to waterfalls, there are definitely sounds like the sound of gurgling water, the sound of trees blowing by the wind, the sound of birds and so on.The presence of images and sounds in the BALI MELALI ibi application can certainly cause longing from tourists and travel to Bali. Hopefully the business in the form of the BALI MELALI application can help Bali tourism return to normal. Hopefully Bali tourism will rise soon.al. Hopefully Bali tourism will rise soon.)
"Be One in Difference" + (Who doesn't know the motto of Indonesia? W … Who doesn't know the motto of Indonesia? We as citizens of Indonesia must know the Indonesian motto, namely Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, which means different but still one as stated on the Garuda Pancasila symbol. As we already know, Indonesia has many differences in ethnicity, race, religion, ethnicity, language and class, but it is characterized by unity.Based on this motto, I, as the majority, have an opinion about religious harmony in Indonesia. I took objects in the area of Bali and the environment of my friends who have different religions from me. From the Indonesian motto, religious harmony in Indonesia is good. For example in Bali where the majority religion of the people is Hindu but the activities of other religions can still run smoothly and peacefully. The adhan for the five daily prayers for Muslims is still being carried out in the respective mosque areas in Bali. There are also places of worship of other religions side by side.Many have religious differences, so of course there are problems. These religious differences are based on different beliefs and faiths but often cause problems such as SARA (Tribe, Religion, Race and Intergroup) issues. Reflecting on the meaning of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, we as citizens of Indonesia should continue to maintain and guide these differences by looking after, respecting and loving one another. That is what shows that differences can become unity.t shows that differences can become unity.)

The content of the material is very difficult when compared to the ability of students. For example, there is a discourse in Balinese script entitled Prabhu Airlangga.

This is an illustration that it is underestimated in the process of making a book. Unfortunately books like this are used in schools. How can students absorb the lessons? How to awaken students' interest in studying Balinese script? The government, especially the Praja Dinas, which oversees this field, should do research and investigate the existence of textbooks circulating in schools. Don't be blind, it's your duty. Teachers should also carry out a Student Textbook Review so that the books used are truly in accordance with the abilities of students. Don't make a book just to make profit. Parents should also pay attention to their children so they don't buy books arbitrarily, but at a low price.

If you have used GPS as a guide, then Putru Saji Tarpana is a collection of directions for the spirits of people who have died. The contents of this text is written in ancient Javanese language, mixed with ordinary Balinese, perhaps made and copied from the fifteenth century, and until now must be read during cremation ceremonies or at Atma Wedana (Ngarorasin) ceremony.The first and last part of the manuscript does not indicate in which year and during the reign of which king the script was made. From the beginning to the end, this text contains clues about the magical places the spirit of the deceased will pass before finally reaching Yamaloka. Yamaloka is the gate of the court of spirit, where every deed will be weighed according to the provisions of the Dharma law.According to this ejection, the spirit of the deceased will encounter many strange things during the journey to Yamaloka. The magical places are in the form of forests on clouds, highways, wells, darkness, strange creatures, to deep rivers and mud. The spirit will also cross a bridge. If his actions during his life are good, all those terrible things will be passed over easily. If his actions are evil for life, the spirit will be trapped in those strange places.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.But this does not mean that only with a large ceremony of death can the spirit be freed from all sins. The death ceremony can only help the spirit journey to reach Yamaloka's court, but it cannot erase his bad deeds during life. Food ingredients and water offered to the spirits of the dead aims to give them a new body in the new nature, but not to wash away their sins.w nature, but not to wash away their sins.)

Among the various problems at hand, some prominent issues that need immediate attention from Bali's future leaders are:Firstly, the environment and sustainability. Bali, with its natural beauty, is under significant pressure due to rapid growth. Conservation of the environment and protection of natural resources are crucial to prevent further damage to the island. Future leaders must have a clear vision to preserve Bali's natural beauty while also managing sustainable growth.Secondly, adequate infrastructure.

Bali, which usually doesn't stop bringing in rupiah coffers to support its people's economy, is now deserted.A few months after the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside, there was a lot of buzz in the social media about the hashtag #WorkFromBali. Bali, as the most popular tourist attraction in Indonesia, is slowly starting to rise from the slump of the COVID-19 pandemic.Most Indonesian people consider Bali as an elite tourist destination, because the majority of visitors are foreign tourists. Not infrequently Indonesian people also think that the price of admission to tourism and the price of food at the place to eat is also high (by the standards of foreign tourists).Seeing the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic which is still uncertain, it is better for the Bali government to start moving to carry out "Rebranding Bali" for domestic tourists. Because they are considered the safest and most sustainable, to keep the economy in Bali alive and spinning.There are several ways that the Balinese government can do to invite local and domestic tourists to visit Bali:1. Ensure that Bali is a safe place during the Covid-19 pandemic, by showing that all frontline Bali tourism has been vaccinated and maintaining proper health protocols;2. Invite influencers to advertise Bali. The hashtag #WorkFromBali seems to be very good and powerful to be echoed again;3. Recalculate the highest price specifically for local and domestic tourists, such as the price of tourist entrance tickets, lodging prices, food prices, and so on, by adjusting the socio-economic conditions of the Indonesian people.4.

Hopefully events like this can be held frequently to develop a threatening Bali.Happy guests, as we know, Bali is known as the island of a thousand temples with its very beautiful environment, which is often visited by foreign tourists, because Bali is one of the focuses of tourism in Indonesia. This is what drives many foreign tourists to come to Bali. Even though Bali is a tourist destination, this is not the main topic of discussion, but there are problems that have a significant impact on Bali. As we know, this so-called era of destruction, if we talk about the problems in Bali, will cause Bali to collapse. Unfortunately, the problems in Bali have not received treatment that is useful for the island of Bali.Happy guests, if you look at life now it is certainly different from previous life, especially with the problems, the most important problem is related to the environment and land of the island of Bali which has been built up and used as a tourist attraction, this is what will make the island of Bali In terms of land and environment, it will become increasingly narrow, if all the land and environment in Bali is made into a tourist attraction, where will we (humans), animals and others live and live our daily lives? Talking about the land environment that has been converted into a tourist spot, of course there are many daily activities carried out to produce plastic waste for society, this is what will become Bali's next problem. The existence of rubbish in Bali is very sad and gets very little attention, this is what creates big dangers, for example: floods, dengue fever and others. Moreover, as has recently been reported, the rubbish bins or Suwung landfills in Bali are very full and cause fires, giving rise to smoke pollution which causes disease. Are we all willing to live and do activities in dirty places? Of course, many of you are reluctant to live in a dirty place. Happy attendees, if I conclude it is related to the problems in Bali, so that Balinese leaders can provide solutions related to problems: the transfer of land or the environment to become tourist attractions and the rampant waste which has not received special attention from the government. Based on these problems, if we don't work together from now on as the front guard, it is certain that the island of Bali will gradually collapse. The island of Bali, which has been nicknamed a thousand temples, will lose its sanctity. Based on these problems, my hope is that the elected leader of Bali 2024 will be able to find a solution so that the Balinese people can implement the noble values that exist in Bali, namely TRI HITA KARANA, because these problems are related. with the TRI HITA KARANA value, so that Bali can return to the way it was before.Happy guests, that is the speech I can deliver, I hope you all are aware of the current condition of Bali.re aware of the current condition of Bali.)

In Bali province, the government has been implementing agricultural development programs through subaks, which are customary communities that manage the traditional irrigation system. However, subaks now face some problems due to low farmers’ income from paddy farming. This paper describes the social capital performance of the subak system and attempts to identify ways to strengthen the social capital for agricultural development. The study selected the subak of Guama as its site because the government implemented a pilot project on agribusiness development in this subak in 2002. Key informants and samples were drawn during the survey and observation for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive methods. Results showed that social capital within the subak system consisted of mutual trust, social norms,and social networking.

This lontar tells about woods that have a hierarchy like a royal system among humans. Based on the story in Aji Janantaka, Balinese people determine the types of wood that can be used to build shrines, house buildings, or make utensils and masks. There are sacred types of wood that can only be used to build holy places and may not be used for ordinary building materials.The story in this lontar begins with a king named Pratipa who ruled in the land of Janantaka. The king had five ministers namely Matwa, Rangga, Tumenggung, Arya and Kadeyan. In addition, he had five other officials, namely Punggawa, Manca, Perbekel, Pecalang, Kelihan Banjar, and Kasinoman. They were all attacked by a plague of leprosy which could not be cured by any means. It is said that this plague was originated from Lord Shiva who displeased King Pratipa because the king had made an offense.King Pratipa then sent Matwa to go to Lord Dharma in heaven to ask for healing. According to Lord Dharma, the entire kingdom had to be moved from Janantaka to Wanapringga. Dewa Dharma then gave them purification for their ailments. However, this purification meant that they would all be dissolved and be reborn into trees.All types of trees originating from the king, Arya, Rangga, Demung, Tumenggung, pecalang, Perbekel, kliyan and kasinoman cannot be used for building holy buildings because they had previously been affected by leprosy (known as “cukil daki” or “ila” disease). The trees that are considered contaminated include the Bengkulitan, Taru Brokan (deformed tree due to being eaten by pests), Embud Hati tree, Soca Menengan Sunduk tree, and Soca Nyuwun Lambang tree.This lontar can be referred to as a simple botanical taxonomic palm-leaf manuscript centered on local trees that grew in Bali in the past. There are also Brahmin tree class and Taru Sari tree class. Both types of trees can be used as sacred building materials. There are also jempini, bayur and bentawa trees belonging to the taru sakama-kama class, which can be used for any purpose.Apart from the types of trees, Lontar Aji Janantaka also describes types of fragrant flowers that can be used for ceremonies. These fragrant flowering trees are classified as sekar madewi, namely cananga, frangipani, canigara, tigaron, sebita, kembang kuning, kemoning, tigakancu, tampak bela, katrangan, nagasari, jasmine, jempiring, pudak sari, pudak cinaga, pudak kalasa, sekar gambir, chrysanthemum, magnolia, ratna, and gadung kasturi.emum, magnolia, ratna, and gadung kasturi.)

the application of Tat Twam Asi in everyday life + (As Hindus, we have a strong bond with one … As Hindus, we have a strong bond with one another. We are all part of Hyang Widhi who resides in the soul which is called atman. Therefore, it is not appropriate for us to be silent, peaceful, while our brothers are calming down, in trouble, and miserable. As social beings, of course we cannot live alone, we always need help from others. Likewise other people, need help from us. This is in line with one of the basic concepts in Hinduism, namely Tat Twam Asi. This teaching can be implemented in everyday life in the form of caring. Humans in their lives have various kinds of necessities of life that are driven by the desires (kama) of the human being concerned. It is at this time that humans need to recognize and carry out a sense of togetherness or known as gotong royong and mutual help, so that no matter how hard the problems they face, they will feel light. Tat Twam Asi means that 'it is you, you are him'. The word 'that' means Brahman or the Source of all life. While the word 'you' is the Atman or soul that supports all beings. Thus we can interpret that the soul that resides in every human being comes from the same source, namely Brahman or God Himself. The teachings of Tat Twan Asi are the basis of the Hindu Ethics in the effort to achieve moral improvement. Susila is good and noble behavior to foster harmonious and balanced relationships and harmony among people. Cultivating an attitude of tolerance among people can create a harmonious and peaceful life, tolerance, and not hurting the feelings of others. The noble value of Tat Twam Asi in the Javanese philosophy of life is manifested through the attitude of Tepa Slira, which means that we must be able to feel what other people are feeling. Of course we should not hurt other people, if we also do not want to feel the same pain. Tepa slira has the same goal as the values of Tat Twam Asi, namely the creation of harmony and harmony in life. Differences in ethnicity, religion, race, or class, are not a barrier to living together in a peaceful atmosphere, respecting each other, and understanding each other for all the differences that exist. The most important thing is how we can be self-aware, able to control ourselves not to force all wills on others, respect and appreciate the differences between us.and appreciate the differences between us.)

This decline is causing concern to many parties because the Balinese language is one of the roots of Balinese culture.

But now of course this is not the case, because precisely what becomes the mother tongue for Balinese children is Indonesian, while Balinese is a second foreign language for them. The use of Balinese among young people now seems to have started to decrease interest because it is considered difficult and tends to be old-fashioned so that the interest is decreasing. This is of course a problem where the Balinese language is now getting less portion and attention from its users, shifted by languages that are considered modern. This objective condition certainly shows that the Balinese language has an important role as a means of communication in the Bali area which should be maintained and preserved. The preservation and development of the Balinese language certainly receives significant attention considering that language is part of culture, especially Balinese culture.

In the face of so many issues, we as citizens of SMA Negeri 3 Kuta Selatan have taken action to create a waste free team by sorting waste by category, hoping to make all students aware to dispose waste in the right place and according to the respective category, but due to the lack of good education and the mindset of the students when they were brought up in the family, this project is not going well, many students simply throw waste and don't sort it properly, such as putting organic waste in non-organic waste, With this, we as a team appealed and acted directly in waste processing, with the behaviour we did, we succeeded in empathizing students to separate waste according to its category in order to create cleanliness in the environment around us, residents of SMA Negeri 3 Kuta Selatan in cooperation with Plastic Exchange Kuta Selatan to help us in waste processing properly, we as school residents were not able to process waste, especially organic waste into compost. With the many problems that exist in Indonesia, we have been able to solve the problem of garbage, although it is not perfect, there is still a lot of garbage scattered around, but we are with the awareness to dispose of garbage by first sorting it before it reaches the landfill and processed properly, we also want to create a disciplined school both in terms of education and ethics, especially in the disposal of garbage, with this behaviour we want to realise the Golden Indonesia 2045, because if you don't start with small things then big things can't happen.small things then big things can't happen.)
