Balinese Hindu Philosophy

A Quick Rundown on Balinese Hindu Philosophy!

Peace and liberty are obtainable in our lives only when we respect and observe the 3 harmonious relationships known as the Tri Hita Karana Doctrine!

1.
The Gods blessed life and created nature and contents.

2. Nature offers substanence, nourishment, needs and activities for human beings.

3. Human beings have an obligation to establish traditional village structure, to build temples in which to worship, to hold various cermonies, to make daily offerings, to preserve nature and to solve problems together.
Some locals making an offering in a temple. They give offerings to both the good and the evil spirits so niether gets jealous!


A small offering on the beach. To protect those who use the beach from harm.

The van I went to a volcano in. To make sure we were safe we had all sorts of offerings. Even a BBQ chicken on the dashboard!!!!
