  • Indifference to Others  + (You must be familiar with the conflict betYou must be familiar with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Recently, it has been in the spotlight again because the two countries are indeed in a high-level crisis stage. So, invasion could happen at any time. Based on the latest international news, the war between Russia and Ukraine is still going on today (Wednesday, May 18, 2022) and has entered the 84th day. According to the latest news, Ukrainian officials say that peace negotiations between the two countries have reached a stalemate. The Guardian reported that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had said he believed there could be no peace deal if negotiators tried to “transfer dialogue” as the West says instead of talking about the immediate situation in Ukraine. To date, many fighters have surrendered and they have been transferred to territory already under Russian control. According to the United Nations, to date, there have been six million refugees who have fled Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February. Ukrainian citizens who managed to take refuge in various places, one of which is Poland, have a sad story. They are willing to leave their children and wives and are willing to fight for their country. There are also residents who take their children out of Ukraine because they have to find a safer place even though half of their lives are still in the area where they live.</br></br>Apart from the problems between these two countries, as social beings we certainly hope for the best, namely peace. The refugees are foremost human beings who cannot live alone and definitely need the help of others. If people normally want a peaceful life, surely the refugees from Ukraine also want a peaceful life. The difference occurs if they evacuate to another place. 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. It’s enough for simple things, such as the food they need, adequate medicine, and a basic place to live.</br></br>Any simple form of giving will certainly help Ukrainian refugees. This assistance must also be communicated with the Indonesian government, so that there will be equality and justice in shelter areas. It is necessary to include education for the refugees. This will be very beneficial for refugees and also those who receive them. Starting from the basics, such as starting to entertain them with the culture that we have. No need to go far. Just basic things. In addition, the Indonesian people also need more education about Ukrainian refugees, so the desire to help will be channeled properly. The assistance is quite simple for Ukrainian refugees, what is certain is food, a proper place to stay and good treatment for them so that in the long term, there will be a good impact on both parties.ere will be a good impact on both parties.)

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.

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.

  • 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.)

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.

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).

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.

Before I deliver this speech, I first want to thank you for the time and opportunity given to me to deliver my speech of hope. to the Bali government entitled "JUST CONNECTION OCCURRING IN BALI".</br> Traffic jams arise because the volume of motorized vehicles is not proportional to the volume of the road. 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. For your attention I would like to thank.</br> </br> OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OMk. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OM)

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.

Effective leaders should prioritize the development of suitable infrastructure without compromising environmental preservation.</br></br>Thirdly, social welfare. There exist disparities in Bali that need to be addressed. Improving access to education, focusing on public health, and increasing job opportunities with fair wages should be the primary focus of future leaders.

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.

The island of Bali, which has been nicknamed a thousand temples, will lose its sanctity.

Hinduism is usually held at religious events that tell the stories of figures such as the Pandawa or Ramayana stories and the stories of other figures. Besides that, wayang kulit can also be used as an entertainment show that often tells about issues in society and tells something that is educational. Wayang kulit is one of the Balinese cultures that is thick with stories of educational figures, but nowadays they are fading because they are rarely performed as entertainment. We, as a generation in Bali, have to maintain the culture of staging shadow puppets to preserve one of our cultures, namely wayang kulit, so we need to protect it by introducing wayang kulit to the wider community by frequently performing it at every social event so that wayang kulit becomes a great entertainment. of interest to the general public.
