We, who have a place to live, may not feel the way they do. In general, humans have hearts and a spirit of humanity. Imagine if we were in the position of the refugees. Of course we also want to be helped, right? Automatically when refugees come to our territory, it would be nice if we accept them openly. Greet them with what we have even if this is temporary. What we could provide, we should try to take the initiative to give to them. Teach them about caring, sincerity, patience and other things that support their current situation and current condition.

  • Wana Parwa  + ([EN] After losing the dice game, the Panda[EN] After losing the dice game, the Pandavas lived for twelve years in the jungle. In the thirteenth year, they had to disguise themselves unnoticed. If their disguise is uncovered, then they must repeat the period of exile in the forest for another twelve years.</br></br>The Mahabharata incident occurred around 5,000 years ago, in the last quarter of the Dwaparayuga era. At that time, human life could reach 1,000 years with a long young period. So, do not be surprised if the Pandavas exiled themselves for a dozen years and can still have strong children. Not surprisingly, Bhisma, the elder of Hastinapur's nobles, was still alive when Arjuna, his grandson, had a son named Abhimanyu.</br></br>In the forest, the Pandavas meet various magical things. One of the most important is the meeting of Maharaja Yudhisthira with a python who was Nahusa, his own ancestor. Nahusa was cursed to be a snake because of his arrogance. There was also the Yaksa Prasna incident, when Maharaja Yudhisthira was tested by Lord Yamaraja, the controller of death.by Lord Yamaraja, the controller of death.)

  • Bharatayuddha  + ([EN] Kakawin Bharatayuddha tells about 18-[EN] Kakawin Bharatayuddha tells about 18-day war on the battlefield of Kuruksetra. This Kakawin was composed by Mpu Panuluh during the Jayabhaya period of Panjalu (1135-1157 A.D.). In the manggala (opening) section of kakawin, there is a verse of honor for King Jayabhaya.</br></br>The description in Kakawin Bharatayuddha is almost similar to the description of war in the Mahabharata written directly by Krishna Dvaipayana Vedavyasa 5,000 years ago. Presumably, this Kakawin is a kind of direct adaptation of the original Sanskrit text. The story in Kakawin Bharatayuddha begins with the arrival of Sri Krishna as an ambassador of peace for Pandavas. Sri Krishna did not want to eat at the Kaurava’s house, but He ate at Widura’s house.</br></br>Then war broke out between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. In the Mahabharata, the description of war begins in the Bhisma Parwa section. This Kakawin Bharatayuddha is a shortened version of Bhisma Parwa, Drona Parwa, Karna Parwa, Salya Parwa to Swargarohana Parwa. It is said that the war in Kuruksetra took place in December. At the beginning of the war it was told that Arjuna felt sorry for having to fight with his own relatives. But Sri Krishna convinced him to fight because it was a battle between right and evil. This philosophical and religious dialog is known as Bhagavad-gita. Unfortunately, Kakawin Bharatayuddha does not contain this most important teaching and is more focused on warfare. This is understandable because Kakawin Bharatayuddha is a pujasastra (praise literary work) for King Jayabhaya. In fact, the essence of the teachings in Bharatayuddha is actually Bhagawad-gita.</br></br>At the end of this story there is the story of revenge by Asvatthama (in the Sauptika Parwa section), but this kakawin does not tell about the destruction of the city of Dwaraka. Another interesting plot is the story of the revival of Pariksit who died in the womb. This story is also written in Hariwangsa and Bhagawata Purana.ritten in Hariwangsa and Bhagawata Purana.)
  • Nitisastra  + ([EN] Kakawin Nitisastra is thought to have[EN] Kakawin Nitisastra is thought to have been written by Dang Hyang Nirartha, although the real author was never known. 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. There are also many metaphors and parables about good and bad behavior, foods that are appropriate to eat and those that are not, and how to serve the four teachers.</br></br>A copy of the palm-leaf manuscripts of Kakawin Nitisastra is still preserved in Gedong Kirtya, Singaraja. In 1978, this manuscript was copied into Latin script by Hindu Religion teachers from PGAH Singaraja. Then, there is also a newer copy in the Balinese script from the Bali Provincial Culture Office, completed with meanings in alus singgih Balinese.</br></br>What caused Kakawin Nitisastra to be said to have been written by Dang Hyang Nirartha was because this kakawin was found together with Kakawin Nirartha Prakreta. The contents of the two kakawin do not differ much. Many writers suspect that this kakawin was written when Dang Hyang Nirartha lived in Gelgel. when Dang Hyang Nirartha lived in Gelgel.)

The narration in this palm-leaf manuscript begins with Bhatari Uma's request that Bhatara Kumara ask Bhatara Siwa about the teachings that lead one to liberation. Bhatara Kumara then asked about the origin of the universe. Everything that exists comes from God in the spiritual realm (niskala). From the stagnant state then arises the basic material forms of the universe called the matras. From the matras, following successive nada, windu and ardhacandra which then causes a condition called wiswa. From wiswa comes letters which included swara (vowels) and wyanjana (consonants) which were the embodiments of the gods. With the embodiment of such gods, the priests are encouraged to worship them equipped with pure paraphernalia consisting of flowers, seeds, rice, incense, oil lamps and sandalwood water.

  • Wrespati (Wrihaspati) Tattwa  + ([EN] Lontar Wrihaspati tattwa is one of th[EN] Lontar Wrihaspati tattwa is one of the lontar texts which becomes the source of belief of the Hindu community in Bali. 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.)
  • Yadnya Prakerti  + ([EN] Most of the procedures for making off[EN] Most of the procedures for making offerings in Bali come from Yadnya Prakerti Scripture.

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 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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</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. The death ceremony can only help the spirit journey to reach Yamaloka's court, but it cannot erase his bad deeds during life.

The number of motorized vehicles and cars increases every day. As a result, cars, public transportation and motorbikes pile up on the streets, traffic jams occur. Congestion can also slow down the performance of people who are stuck in traffic jams. Workers will be late arriving at work and students will arrive late at school. This especially happens to people who choose to use private transportation rather than public transportation.</br> Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations.</br> On this occasion I would like to invite you to overcome traffic jams in Bali. If we cannot overcome them, at least we can reduce traffic jams in Bali. There are 2 main things we can do to reduce congestion. First, use public transportation, don't use private vehicles, using public transportation can reduce the volume of vehicles on the road. In the end, traffic jams will be reduced. Second, get used to walking if the distance is not too far. This method is simple but difficult to do. Even though walking is healthy, and by walking we are contributing to reducing traffic jams in Bali. I am sure that by taking these 2 actions traffic jams in Bali can be reduced.</br> However, the Bali Government is expected to improve the comfort and safety of public transportation. I am sure that if public transportation is safe and comfortable, there will be more passengers. Finally, the number of private transportation users will decrease by itself.</br> This is all I can say, hopefully it is useful for all of us. Sorry if there are wrong words and actions.

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.

According to Setara Institute researchers, one of the trends throughout 2022 is the continued increase in cases of disturbances to places of worship. Then, there are other trends such as violations of freedom of religion and belief. Of the 333 acts of violation of freedom of religion and belief, 94 were mostly committed by residents (quoted from the @voaindonesia upload).</br>With the cases that occurred, the meaning of harmony faded. It is only spoken in the mouth but cannot be felt in reality. The motto ‘harmony is cool’ is, in my opinion, not quite right, because Basuki Tjahaya Purnama once said “If an official is not corrupt, they do not need to be respected because that is indeed their oath of office.” It’s the same with harmony. We must understand, own and do it to our fellow human beings. From the smallest scale, namely in the family, we must provide education about harmony, as well as at school. This is the most basic foundation in character building. In society, we must also have the courage to be agents of change, setting an example that whatever religion we adhere to (which has been recognized by the Indonesian government) is good. We should not gossip, for example when we are working late at the office to replace a colleague who is having a holiday service. Unity can be shown by no discrimination among friends and being willing to get along with any friends at school and agreeing to help for the religious holidays. Also, we can start simple benevolence by saying ‘sorry’, ‘thank you’ and ‘please’ to anyone.</br>These things are just small things that we can definitely do. The advantages if we are religiously in harmony are discounts and holidays that can be enjoyed by anyone. So, what extraordinary thing will you do today to keep harmony?y thing will you do today to keep harmony?)

However, since Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on the world, tourists no longer travel to Bali. Likewise, Bali's tourism life is dead. This has a bad influence on the economic, social, and psychological aspects of the Balinese people. Balinese people who work in tourism currently do not have a livelihood, this causes problems in the economic field. Because everything that is needed must be purchased using money, it makes people sad, problems arise in the psyche. Under these circumstances, there are now many beggars and buskers at crossroads who wear Balinese traditional clothes, problems arise in the social sector. Because the death of Bali tourism has a bad effect, it is necessary to find a way out so that tourism can bounce back.</br></br>Since the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, digital technology or in the network is growing. This digital technology can generate Bali tourism. How to? In my opinion, currently, the government can sell the existence of art, culture, and natural beauty to the world market through the website. The website can also be filled with virtual exhibitions using 360-degree technology, such as digital exhibitions that have often been carried out by people abroad. With one website, you can fill in several videos and virtual exhibitions from art museums throughout Bali. Through this website, tourists do not need to come to Bali, but only with digital experience, they can enjoy the natural beauty of Bali.</br></br>Now what can also be developed is the performing arts or performing arts which can be recorded and shared online or digitally. Balinese people who have not got jobs can be embraced to learn together performing arts such as Kecak and other colossal dances. It needs to be noted, those who want to watch every video on the website must buy a ticket in advance.</br></br>From some of the opinions I conveyed above, the development of digital technology can be a bridge to awaken Bali tourism while preserving Balinese art and culture. In addition, currently, each tourist spot must prepare health protocol equipment so that anyone who wants to travel to these tourist attractions still pays attention to health protocols to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
