However, dependence and wrong management can make tourism one of the causes of over-exploitation of nature and make Bali's condition even worse during the COVID-19 emergency. People are increasingly choosing to work in the hospitality sector rather than the domestic sector, namely agriculture and plantations, so that during a pandemic the agricultural sector also becomes difficult due to the lack of land, good systems and human resources. Though this sector can be a solution to improve the economy of Bali.</br>One solution that can be done without choosing one of these two sectors is to apply the concept of community-based tourism or CBT. This concept can be developed by forming a tourist village so that it can become a forum or economic stimulus for rural communities. The concept of a tourist village that is widely developed in the Java area itself focuses on rural life and natural conditions that are a tourist attraction. Community activities in farming and farming can be an alternative attraction for tourists from outside the region, especially because Bali itself has a unique agricultural system. By implementing this system, the level of sustainability or sustainability of tourism and nature will be better. Of course, when there are disasters or natural phenomena that affect mass tourism like what Bali currently has, the concept of tourism planning is a good solution. If tourist visits decline, there is still a reliable agricultural sector. In addition, this concept can then become the new face of tourism in Bali with the growing trend of the hospitality business, beach panorama and hedonistic, while cultural attractions are starting to be abandoned. This CBT concept requires a good master plan so that its development is right on target. In addition, this concept can also be a solution to achieve the SDGs or Sustainable Development Goals and avoid excessive exploitation, especially to nature.essive exploitation, especially to nature.)

  • Water, Tourism, and Social Change: A Discussion of Environmental Perceptions in Bali  + (Water plays an important role in Balinese Water plays an important role in Balinese society. Not only is it commonly featured in Balinese Hindu rituals, but its use and management also enables prosperity through rice cultivation. While these aspects of water have been discussed in many academic and non-academic publications, qualitative understandings of relations to seawater remain somewhat unexplored in the literature. The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary review of existing literature on water and marine environments in Bali, and argue the need for further qualitative social scientific understanding of contemporary Balinese relations to seawater. A discussion of existing research on ocean-centred communities and continued tourism development in Bali’s coastal areas is intended to add to current research in Balinese studies. By presenting literature on Balinese concepts of environment, water and the ocean, this paper seeks to highlight the benefits of continued research on perceptions of environment to discussions of pollution, water scarcity and resource management. Although maritime attractions such as the temples at Tanah Lot and Uluwatu as well as several popular beach communities play a significant role in the tourism industry, this paper suggests the need to further investigate the importance of these attractions to tourists and Balinese as well as the social interpretations associated with them.cial interpretations associated with them.)

  • 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.)

My idea is about combining Balinese culture and environment with sustainable fashion industry. I dream about creating a platform that can connect local fashion designers to utilize their talents and resources to create sustainable fashion products. I really want to see Bali as the world’s center of sustainable fashion that contributes significantly to environmental preservation and social welfare. We can study unique ideas from this Wikithon that concern reusing or recycling materials, introducing eco-friendly coloring techniques, or new approaches to durable fashion designs. Its relevance is very notable since tourism and fashion industries have created significant drawbacks to the island’s environment. We hope to find the best solutions to reduce the negative impacts. One of the ideas relevant to the future of Bali is to strengthen cooperation among local designers and traditional artists’ communities to increase traditional skills and local economy. </br>In this Wikithon, I would like to put emphasis on our awareness towards the significance of buying sustainable fashion products and supporting local eco-friendly brands. I also hope to create innovative production ideas for less-trash fashion products and renewable energy uses. Bali’s uniqueness in culture and arts can be an inspiration for unique fashion designs and motives related to the island’s identity. In the scope of idea uniqueness, perhaps we can combine digital technology such as blockchain to be able to manage the supply chain and to prove the sustainability of Balinese fashion. This Wikithon can also be an opportunity to manage ethics and social responsibility in fashion industry, including to stop children labors and to strengthen employees’ work justice.</br> </br>I hope this Wikithon also involves local stakeholders such as the government, enterprises, and the people so that they can create synergy for sustainable Balinese fashion. In the far future, I hope Bali can be an example for other tourist destinations in developing sustainable fashion industry by considering beauty, culture, and environment. By strong cooperation and collaboration, I believe that Bali will be the leader in shaping the future of sustainable fashion in which the beauty of nature and cultural heritage are combined.nature and cultural heritage are combined.)

In the middle of the pile of eggs there was a strange egg. They took the egg home and cooked it. Then the boy ate it. Instantly the boy turned into a snake. Because they were worried about causing commotion in the village, the boy and girl decided to go into the forest looking for their mother. The sister carried her brother. They met their mother deeply in love with a dragon. They were angry, because they thought that because of the dragon the brother had become like that. He challenged the dragon snake to fight. In the end, the brother who had been transformed into a snake defeated the dragon. But unfortunately their mother also died in the fight. The siblings went up to Bukit Lesung. Arriving there, the brother thought he must enter the bowels of the earth, because he had become a dragon, named Naga Gombang. So as not to upset his sister, he told her to get water with a basket. While his sister was getting water, the brother entered the mountain crater. When his sister returned from getting water, the brother had already disappeared into the bowels of the earth. The brother said, “Don't you cry, I was destined to live below”.

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.

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.)

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.

But, unfortunately, there is a dark shadow that threatens the integrity of this process: the practice of bribery. Bribing elections is an act that undermines the soul of our democracy, shakes people's trust, and brings us to the brink of injustice.</br></br>Brethren, we must realize that bribery is not an act of pride, but a reproach of the democratic values we uphold. When we celebrate voting rights as a privilege, bribing is a betrayal of the right itself. This is not the way to build a just and just future.</br></br>Elections should be the stage where ideas and visions for progress compete fairly. Bribing will only create inequality and enrich the few, while depriving democracy of the rights of many others.</br></br>Let us together reject this practice of bribery. We must unite in a spirit of honesty, integrity, and responsibility. Remember that the strength of a nation lies in its citizens' unity and trust in the democratic system.</br></br>Brothers, let us make the election a reflection of the noble values of this nation. Choose leaders based on their capacity, integrity, and dedication to serving the people. In this way, we can ensure that every vote is respected and every citizen feels the positive impact of the election results.</br></br>Together, we build a just future that free from the shadow of bribery. Let's aim to make each election a significant step toward achieving justice and prosperity for all of us. Regards.ice and prosperity for all of us. Regards.)
