Art Therapy with Ketut Budiana
I Ketut Budiana’s code of life is - Swadharma

To do Swadharma(duties) means to do it without expecting anything in return, because the return will come by itself following the karma. To do, to work, and to search for something is a noble and valuable life. Never waste your life."
