True Love

Kenapa kita menutup mata ketika kita tidur?

Ketika kita menangis?

Ketika kita membayangkan?

Ketika kita berciuman?

Ini karena hal terindah di dunia TIDAK TERLIHAT...

Kita semua agak aneh...dan hidup sendiri juga agak aneh....

Dan ketika kita menemukan seseorang yang keunikannya SEJALAN dengan kita..

kita bergabung dengannya dan jatuh ke dalam suatu keanehan serupa

yang dinamakan C I N T A . .

Ada hal-hal yang tidak ingin kita lepaskan.

Orang-orang yang tidak ingin kita tinggalkan . .

Tapi ingatlah...melepaskan BUKAN akhir dari dunia . .

melainkan awal suatu kehidupan baru . . .

Apabila cinta tidak berhasil...BEBASKAN dirimu

Biarkan hatimu kembali melebarkan sayapnya dan terbang ke alam bebas...

LAGI..

Ingatlah...bahwa kamu mungkin menemukan cinta dan kehilangannya . .

tapi..ketika cinta itu mati . . .

kamu TIDAK perlu mati bersamanya . .

Orang terkuat BUKAN mereka yang selalu menang . .

MELAINKAN mereka yang tetap T E G A R ketika mereka jatuh

Entah bagaimana...dalam perjalanan kehidupan,

kamu belajar tentang dirimu sendiri . . .

dan menyadari . . bahwa penyesalan tidak seharusnya ada . . .

HANYALAH penghargaan abadi atas pilihan2 kehidupan yang telah kau

buat

TEMAN SEJATI . . . mengerti ketika kamu berkata " A k u l u p a . ."

Menunggu selamanya ketika kamu berkata " T u n g g u s e b e n t a r "

Tetap tinggal ketika kamu berkata " T i n g g a l k a n a k u s e n d i r i

Membuka pintu meski kamu BELUM mengetuk dan berkata " B o l e h k a h

s a y a m a s u k ?”

MENCINTAI . . . Bukanlah bagaimana kamu melupakan . . .

melainkan bagaimana kamu MEMAAFKAN . .

Bukanlah bagaimana kamu mendengarkan . . .

melainkan bagaimana kamu MENGERTI . . .

Bukanlah apa yang kamu lihat . . .

melainkan apa yang kamu RASAKAN . .

Bukanlah bagaimana kamu melepaskan . . .

melainkan bagaimana kamu BERTAHAN . . .

Lebih berbahaya mencucurkan air mata dalam hati . .

Dibandingkan menangis tersedu2 . . .

Air mata yang keluar dapat dihapus .

sementara air mata yang tersembunyi ,

menggoreskan luka yang tidak akan pernah H I L A N G . . .

Dalam urusan cinta, kita SANGAT JARANG menang . .

Tapi ketika CINTA itu T U L U S , meskipun kalah,

kamu TETAP MENANG hanya karena kamu berbahagia . . .

dapat mencintai seseorang . .

LEBIH dari kamu mencintai dirimu sendiri . . .

Akan tiba saatnya dimana kamu harus berhenti mencintai seseorang

BUKAN karena orang itu berhenti mencintai kita

MELAINKAN karena kita menyadari

bahwa orang itu akan lebih berbahagia apabila kita melepaskannya.

Apabila kamu benar2 mencintai seseorang, jangan lepaskan dia . .

jangan percaya bahwa melepaskan SELALU berarti kamu benar2 mencintai

MELAINKAN . BERJUANGLAH DEMI C I N T A M U ( " Fight For Your Dream" )

Itulah: C I N T A S E J A T I . . .

bukannya seperti: " Easy Come . . . Easy Go "

Lebih baik menunggu orang yang kamu inginkan

DARIPADA berjalan bersama orang "yang tersedia"

Lebih baik menunggu orang yang kamu cintai

DARIPADA orang yang berada di "sekelilingmu"

Lebih baik menunggu orang yang tepat

karena hidup ini terlalu singkat untuk dibuang dengan hanya

"seseorang"

Kadang kala, orang yang kamu cintai

adalah orang yang PALING menyakiti hatimu

dan kadang kala, teman yang membawamu ke dalam pelukannya

dan menangis bersamamu adalah cinta yang tidak kamu sadari.

A Glimpse of The Ceremony in Bali




1. Nyepi is a Balinese "Day of Silence" that is commemorated every Isakawarsa (Saka new year) according to Bali's calendar (in 2011, it will be on March 5th). It is a day of silence, fasting, and meditation. The day following Nyepi is also celebrated as New year.
Observed from 6 a.m. until 6 a.m. the next morning, Nyepi is a day reserved for self-reflection and as such, anything that might interfere with that purpose is restricted. The main restrictions are: no lighting fires (and lights must be kept low); no working; no entertainment or pleasure; no traveling; and for some, no talking or eating at all. The effect of these prohibitions is that Bali’s usually bustling streets and roads are empty, there is little or no noise from TVs and radios, and few signs of activity are seen even inside homes. The only people to be seen outdoors are the Pecalang, traditional security men who patrol the streets to ensure the prohibitions are being followed.
Although Nyepi is primarily a Hindu holiday, non-Hindu residents of Bali observe the day of silence as well, out of respect for their fellow citizens. Even tourists are not exempt; although free to do as they wish inside their hotels, no one is allowed onto the beaches or streets, and the only airport in Bali remains closed for the entire day. The only exceptions granted are for emergency vehicles carrying those with life-threatening conditions and women about to give birth.
On the day after Nyepi, known as Ngembak Geni, social activity picks up again quickly, as families and friends gather to ask forgiveness from one another, and to perform certain religious rituals together.

Rituals =

a. First, The Melasti Ritual is performed at the 3-4 previous day. It is dedicated to Sanghyang Widhi Wasa and is performed at the beach to respect them as the owner of The Land and Sea. The ritual performed in Pura (Balinese temple) near the sea (Pura Segara) and meant to purify Arca, Pratima, and Pralingga (sacred objects) belongs to several temples, also to acquire sacred water from the sea.

b. Second, The Bhuta Yajna Ritual is performed in order to vanquish the negative elements and create balance with God, Mankind, and Nature. The ritual also meant to appease Batara Kala by Pecaruan offering. Devout Hindu Balinese villages usually make ogoh-ogoh, demonic statues made of bamboo and paper symbolizing negative elements or malevolent spirits. After the ogoh-ogoh have been paraded around the village, the Ngrupuk ritual takes place, which involves burning the ogoh-ogoh.

c. Third, The Nyepi Rituals is performed with the following conditions:

Amati Geni: No fire/light, including no electricity

Amati Karya: No working

Amati Lelunganan: No travelling

Amati Lelanguan: Fasting and no revelry/self-entertainment

d. Fourth, The Yoga/Brata Ritual starts at 6:00 AM (e.g. March 26, 2009) and continues to 6:00 AM the next day.

e. Fifth, The Ngebak Agni/Labuh Brata Ritual is performed for all Hindus to forgive each other and to welcome the new days to come.

f. Sixth and finally, The Dharma Shanti Rituals is performed as the Nyepi Day or "Day of Silence."

2. Galungan and Kuningan


The word "Galungan" is derived from Old Javanese language, which means winning or fighting. Galungan also synonymous with Dungulan, which also means winning. Because it is in Java, the eleventh wuku called Wuku Galungan, while in Bali wuku the eleventh was called Wuku Dungulan. His name is different, but means the same thing. As in Java in the details of any designation pancawara Legi while in Bali called Umanis, which means the same: sweet.

Somewhat difficult to ascertain how the origins of this Galungan. When was actually celebrated Galungan first time in Indonesia, especially in Java and in other areas, especially in Bali. Drs. I Gusti Agung Gede Putra (former Director General of the Hindu and Buddhist Guidance Department of Religious Affairs) estimates, have long been celebrated Galungan Hindus in Indonesia prior to the popular holiday celebrated on the island of Bali. This allegation is based on Old Javanese language manuscripts, named Song of Panji Amalat Rasmi. However, exactly when it celebrated Galungan outside Bali and whether the same name Galungan, remain unanswered with certainty. But in Bali, there are sources that provide a bright spot. According to the Purana Bali ejection Dwipa, Galungan was first celebrated on Purnama Kapat Buddhist Dungulan POND, Saka year 804 or 882 years BC. The ejection was mentioned:

Aci Punang Galungan ngawit ika, Ma, Ka, Dungulan sasih kacatur, 15, isaka 804. Build senses Buwana Ikang Bali Rajya.
Meaning: Celebration (ceremony) Galungan it first was on Wednesday POND, (Wuku) Dungulan sasih Kapat the 15th, the year 804 Saka. Things like Indra Loka Bali Island. Since then Galungan continues to be celebrated by Hindus in Bali royally. After Galungan is celebrated for about three centuries, suddenly something basic consideration in the year 1103 Saka festivals were discontinued. It happened keti-ka Raja Sri Ekajaya reign. Galungan also not celebrated when it is held in check the King of Sri Dhanadi. During Galungan not celebrated, it is said the disaster came without ceasing. Age royal officials said to be relatively short.
When Sri Dhanadi King died and was succeeded in 1126 Sri Jayakasunu Saka, Galungan then celebrated again, after a more or less forgotten for 23 years. This information can be seen in the palm of Sri Jayakasunu. The ejection was told that King Sri Jayakasunu wonder why the king and the king's officials had always been short-lived. To find out the cause, the King of Sri Jayakasunu conduct meditation and samadhi in Bali which is famous for the god Sraya term meaning closer to the Gods. Sraya god it is done in the Pura Dalem Puri, not far from the Pura Besakih. Because of his sincerity to do meditation, Raja Sri Jayakasunu get pawisik or "religious whisper" of the Goddess Durgha, sakti of Siva. In the Goddess Durgha pawisik explained to the king that his ancestors are always short-lived because it no longer celebrate Galungan. Because of the Goddess Durgha request to the King of Sri Jayakasunu so again celebrate Galungan every Wednesday POND Dungulan accordance with the tradition that never applies. In addition it also recommended that all Hindus attach Penjor Penampahan Galungan day (the day before Galungan). Also mentioned, the core principal Penampahan Galungan celebration is to perform the ceremony byakala aiming to release the negative forces (Buta Kala) of the human self and its environment. Since the King of Sri Jayakasunu get religious whisper it, Galungan celebrated again with the wisdom and lively by Hindus in Bali.

Philosophical Meaning Galungan =

Galungan is a sacred ritual that gives spiritual strength to be able to distinguish where the life force that comes from and where from budhi adharma atma which formed as a voice of truth (dharma) in man.
It also provides the ability to discriminate orientation keraksasaan (asura sampad) and TRENDS sainthood (god sampad). It must be realized that life is happy or emo is life that has the ability to master the trend keraksasaan.
Galungan is also one of the Hindu religious ceremony to remind people ritually and spiritually in order to always win the Goddess Sampad to uphold dharma against adharma. In the ejection Sunarigama, Galungan and details of the ceremony described in detail. Regarding the meaning of the ejection Sunarigama Galungan described as follows:
Buddhist Kliwon Dungulan Ngaran Galungan patitis Ikang janyana samadhi, Girder apadang maryakena sarwa byapaning eyelash

Meaning:

Wednesday Kliwon Galungan Dungulan name, point was the only spiritual in order to get a clear view to eliminating any confusion of mind.

Thus, the core Galungan is to unite the spiritual strength to get the mind and the establishment of the light. Spiritual unity and a clear mind this is in itself a form of dharma. While all the chaos that thought (byaparaning eyelash) is a form adharma. From the conception of this Sunarigama ejection was concluded that the nature of Galungan is celebrating her nangnya dharma against adharma.
To win the dharma that there is a series of activities carried out before and after Galungan. Before Galungan is called Sugihan Sugihan Java and Bali. The word here is the same with Java, Jaba, meaning outside. Java Sugihan purify Bhuana great significance (the earth) outside of the human. Java Sugihan celebrated on Wage Wrhaspati Wuku Breech, six days before Galungan. In the ejection Sundarigama mentioned that on the day it is a Java Sugihan Pasucian kalinggania pamrastista god god kabeh (Sanctification god, because that day all Bhatara purification).
Implementation of this ceremony is to clean up all places and ceremonial equipment in their respective holy places. Meanwhile on Friday Kliwon Wuku Breech mentioned: Kalinggania amretista tawulan sport (therefore purify the physical body of each). Because it is mentioned Bali Sugihan purify themselves. Bali word in Sanskrit means the strengths that exist within ourselves. And that is purified.
In Redite Paing Wuku Dungulan told Sang Kala Tiga Wisesa down annoying humans. So on that day is recommended anyekung jana, means: silencing the mind not to be entered by Butha Galungan. The ejection was also mentioned nirmalakena (people whose minds are always pure) will not be entered by Butha Galungan.
On Monday Pon Dungulan called Penyajaan Galungan. On this day people who know about yoga and samadhi worship. In the ejection mentioned, "the ngamong Pangastawaning yoga samadhi." On the day mentioned Anggara Wage wuku Dungulan Penampahan Galungan. On this day regarded as a day to beat Butha Galungan with the main ceremony to make offerings byakala called lara pamyakala melaradan. People of today's most in slaughter pigs as an animal sacrifice. But the real meaning is on this day should kill animalistic traits that exist in themselves.
Similarly, the sequence that preceded the ceremony Galungan. After a day of Thursday Galungan Umanis Dungulan wuku called Sweet Galungan. On this day people remember how beautiful the victory of dharma. Ummah in general-piaskan symbolized joy to visit places of entertainment, especially the beautiful panorama.

On this day people are encouraged deliver to canang meraka and matirta gocara. Barmakna ceremony, people enjoy waranugraha Gods.
On Friday called the day Penampahan Wage Brass Brass. In the ejection Sundarigama not mentioned ceremony must take place. Only recommended doing spiritual activities which is mentioned in the ejection Sapuhakena malaning jnyana (lenyapkanlah defilement of mind). The next day, Saturday Kliwon called Brass. In the ejection Sundarigama mentioned, the ceremony deliver to the offerings on this day should be carried out in the morning and deliver to avoid past noon ceremony. Why? Since the middle of the day the gods and the god Pitara "told" go back to Swarga (god nut mwah Maring Swarga).

Balinese Traditional Wedding.



Hindus have a purpose in life is called Purusa Artha namely Dharma, Artha, Kama and moksa. It can not be realized at once but gradually.
Stages to achieve the four goals of life is called Qi Dormitory. On stage Brahmacari dorm life goals are prioritized to receive the Dharma. Dormitory Grhasta prioritize realize artha and kama. While in Wanaprasta Sanyasa Dormitory Dormitory and life goals are prioritized to achieve moksa.
Marriage or Wiwaha is an effort to realize the purpose of life Grhasta Dormitory. The main duties of Grhasta Dormitory by Agastya Parwa ejection is to realize a life that is called "May whatever magic Kayika Dharma" which means by itself carry out Dharma. So a Grhasta should really be able to independently realize the Dharma in this life. Independence and professionalism is what should really be prepared by a Hindu who want to pursue levels of marriage.
In a marriage there are two purposes of life that must be resolved completely is to realize artha and kama are based on Dharma.
At the preparatory stage, a person who will enter the stage of marriage in desperate need of guidance, particularly for Facebook to do it successfully or minimize the obstacles that may arise. Guidance will be very good if given by an expert in the field of Hindu religion, especially regarding the duties and obligations of a grhastha, to be independent within the manifest purpose of life get artha and kama based on Dharma.

Self Purifying
Marriage is essentially a Yadnya in order to provide the opportunity for fathers to reincarnate again in order to improve his karma. In the second sloka Sarasamuscaya scriptures mentioned "Ri sakwehning sarwa bhuta, iking janma wang also executions gumaweakenikang asubha karma subha, subha karma ring worm panentasakena also Ikang asubha karma pahalaning dadi wang" means: from this number all living creatures, who were born as human beings that's all that can do good or bad. As for the smelting bad deeds into good deeds, it is useful to be human.
Related to the sloka in the bag, karma simply incarnated as human beings, karma can be improved towards subha karma completely. Have children through marriage and maintain it with a truly loving Yadnya to the ancestors. Moreover if the child can be nurtured and educated to be human suputra, would constitute an act exceeding one hundred Yadnya, as mentioned in Slokantara.

Hindu Marriage is a holy and sacred, and therefore the Vedic era, marriage is determined by a sage, who could see clearly, beyond the spiritual vision, couples will be married. With a view of an expert or a Brahmin sage Sista, suitable or not fitting of a bridal couple will be seen clearly.
Couples who do not fit (spiritually) are urged to cancel his marriage plans, because it can definitely be fatal to both families concerned. After the time of the Dharma Sastra, bridal couples are no longer met by the Rishis, but by the king or the elderly bride, considering the mundane, such as maintaining the dignity of the family, consideration of wealth, beauty, kegantengan and others. When this began declining spiritual values as a basis for consideration.
In the modern era and the era of globalization, as now, the role of parents was probably not so dominant in determining mate sons. The young people today decide on his own soul mate. Mate self-determination by that very tergantuang on their ability levels who perform marriages. But it seems more determined by worldly considerations, such as physical beauty, the degree of family and social measures rather than the degree of economic and spiritual.
Meaning and Symbol
Marriage Law No. 1 year 1974, the validity of a marriage is based on their respective religious laws. So, for Hindus, through the process of religious ceremony called "Mekala-kalaan" (natab offerings), usually by a pinandita dipuput. The ceremony was held at the home page (middle Natah) because it is a central point of the power of "Kala Bhucari" as ruler of mandala madyaning housing.

The Balinese ?



Early history of Bali can not be separated from the origin and evolution of society. The Balinese believed to have a mixture of Mongoloid blood moving to the main island towards Southeast Asia, long before the time of history. The biggest foreign influence for the Balinese was originally brought by the Indian people (traders and travelers) that brings with it the influence of Hinduism. Bali then share very much in Indianization waves that spread in almost many areas of Southeast Asia in the latter part of the first millennium.

Hinduization in Bali is a process that lasted centuries. The most pervasive influence was not of India alone, but in fact much closer to Java, which was first exposed to the process Indianization than Bali. In the year 1001 (or possibly 991), Bali has been fully exposed Hinduization process. In the reign of Airlangga, Singasari very affecting Bali, both politically and culturally. But the relationship was not without conflict. The people of Bali several times demanding their autonomy from royal Singasari. In fact, when the power switch into the hands of Majapahit, the demand was still happening. Finally, demand that materialized when the Majapahit rule ended in 1515. Bali and then have the autonomy to regulate internal affairs.
In the period of Majapahit, Bali's history began to clear load and has a pattern, although many legends left. The fall marks the rise of the Majapahit kingdom of Mataram, which is patterned Islam. Many of the thousands of clergy, nobles, soldiers, artists, carvers, who moved from Java to Bali to avoid them from their Muslim conquerors. In Bali, they give a strong impulse for the growth of Javanese Hindu tradition which pressured by the forces of Islam. The phenomenon of migration is then produced a large occurrence of transfusion culture in Bali. For about 400 years, they lived undisturbed settled in Bali and have offspring.
So, what the relationship is represented by the Javanese Hindu Majapahit rule is for the Balinese culture, especially related to their eating habits which make the consumption of pork as the main meat. Here I do not really agree with choice of meat (meat of choice), because I was more looking at more pork than a choice, but became a major in Balinese society.
Origins In the book Nagarakrtagama (1365), pig alluded to as one type of meat served at the palace of Majapahit, in addition to lamb, buffalo, chickens, bees, fish and ducks. In addition, there are several types of meat are not served to people who obey because Hindu taboos, despite much-loved by the common people, such as frogs, worms, turtles, rats, dogs. A lot of the time people who are fond of this meat. Hinduism seems almost no role in curbing the sources of protein. A Chinese Muslim, Ma Huan, astonished to see the food people say Java is not Islam that is very dirty and bad. Animals such as snakes, ants, and all kinds of insects and worms into materials consumption. Apart from Madura, Bali is the leading exporter of cattle to Java in the 14th century as well as still survived for centuries. Livestock such as sheep, cattle, sheep, buffalo, pigs, poultry, and dogs became tributes that are sent to the Majapahit at the time.
Various types of pigs is estimated to have been found in the forests of Southeast Asia for thousands of years and farmed since at least 3000 years BC Pigs are considered as the most efficient switching from cereals to meat and is the main meat source in regions where Islam has not been entered. The Europeans argue that Southeast Asian pigs healthier than pigs in Europe. Muslims and then encourage pig breeding goats as a substitute, although goats already there (before Islam) to the extent of Sulawesi, but has not reached the Philippines. Only in Bali, the population density has led to deforestation not unrivaled, Southeast Asian animals bred to be a producer of tropical beef special, although at least the 19th century, Balinese Hindus themselves are not willing to eat it. So naturally, if until now a tropical white cow is considered sacred in Bali, so the pig became one of alternative foodstuffs.
So, what then makes the pig as the main consumption of meat among the people of Bali? This seems to not be separated from the role of Javanese Hindus who migrated to Bali pascaruntuhnya power of Majapahit. In the 16th century, when during the reign of King Stone Renggong, the people of Bali Majapahit influences transformed to suit the needs of life. They created what is in fact a contemporary Balinese culture as well as provide specific elements. They also carry and maintain their habits, including eating habits persoalan On the other hand, the influence of religion can be listened to from the prohibition to not eat meat white cow sebagai suatu abstinence as was embraced by people of Hindu-India. Of course this is a paradox with Islamic people who berpantangan not to eat unclean meat, pork. Bali is an exception which combines the value of history, culture, and belief in the cultural elements of their meals. Indication why the pig became the main consumption can also be listened to Balinese people from maketh livestock as the primary commodity, especially since the 19th century to early 20th century.

During the period of the 19th century to early 20th century, cattle-pig is an animal other than cattle, which became the main needs of the family household Bali. Almost every head of household has at least one cow and some pigs that cater to personal needs or will be sold to local markets and also export. In 1910, total pork exports from the south of Bali reached 33,400 individuals. Pigs are sold each tail appreciated fl. 20 (fl = florins, the currency of the Dutch period). As a domestic animal, has become a consideration that the pig is an economic commodity as well as food consumed.
However, there are things more important than just animal commodities. In Bali, pigs also are animals used in ritual activities. As mentioned by a historian of Southeast Asia, Anthony Reid, general history of the meat in a ritual activity in Southeast Asia has become an important matter, as the Balinese view of pork in ritusnya activity. Maketh pig as a rite of activities in Bali, one of which can be listened to in recording the story of an American named Colin McPhee in his book A House in Bali (1947), he tells himself when giving a gift two pigs in the event Galungan. Pigs, McPhee said, is chiefly food for most people of Bali. When the Balinese feel indebted in some way, then the gift or favor manifested by his slaughter a pig. McPhee said also that the pigs have been slaughtered sometimes used as a form to please the village elders.
Serving dish with a festive procession pork McPhee witnessed as follows:

Meanwhile, other helpers were the resource persons engaged in Preparing the classic accompaniments: rice, of course; pepahit-a "bitter" dish of stewed Blimbing leaves to counteract the Richness of the pig, sausage, made form the pig's blood and urab, a hash of finely mixed coconut, green papaya, the chopped liver, and the heart. At last, the pig was pronounced done to a turn. It was pleased on a banana leaf in along wooden platter. The skin was brittle as thin glass and the meat, Perfumed beyond words from the spice, melted on tongue.
Not only in the ordinary rite, pigs have long been a kind of myth that inherent in the environment of Bali. While McPhee visited the Temple of Death, he witnessed the archaic reliefs showing men surrounded by a lot of pigs. There is also a story that is told King Badulu have some kind of hideous mask, a combination of human eyes and mouth with a muzzle and fangs of wild boar. It is said that King Badulu born to have magical powers. As a child, King Badulu often amuse himself by cutting his head and asked the waitress to re-pair head was separated from his body. One time, the king's head rolled into the river and drift. The waiters are not able to get back to the head master. In desperation, they finally cut off the head of a wild boar and plugging in your neck of the king .Conclusion, assessing keidentikkan pigs within the scope of the life of the people of Bali who dihubungkaitkan with cultural values ​​of the past certainly contain interpretations that are still liquid. However, if the return to three factors: climate, natural resources, and customs of society, liquidity interpretation seems to be considered.
Chinese Influence Questioned on the influence of China on the culinary Bali, I think not so clear when compared with food in Java, Jakarta, or Pontiac that pattern can still be felt. Only that invite curiosity, if the footing from the assumption that pork is so synonymous with Chinese cuisine, is there any Chinese influence in the use of pork in Bali? Here, I can not speculate, because none of the references that pertain to this effect. Denys Lombard even mention that Chinese culture on the island of Bali are rarely mentioned. Lombard interesting thing mentioned is the influence of China in the botanical aspects, namely TAMANAN lychee fruit (Lizhi). Yes, fruit is considered a plant of origin "Kunlun" (as in ancient Chinese sources for the Maritime region of Southeast Asia), it turns out since the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD) were used as tribute to be sent to the palace, as well as one of the commodities exported to the north and south. Lychee fruit are rare and turned out in Tabanan, Bali (other than in Cianjur, West Java), at least indicate the presence of Chinese influence on the island. Also, do not miss
Indeed, geographically stretching as far as Bali is located one mile from eastern Java in the direct flow of trade between the islands of spices in the Moluccas and the ports of Asia which also distributes spices such as cloves, nutmeg, nutmeg and dry. The geographical condition is what makes Bali on the emporium has been visited by Indian traders and travelers, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Bugis, and other eastern merchants who not only brought trade goods, but also the rhythms and habits. Although transit and dimukimi Bali, Balinese people prefer to maintain their culture, with little possibility of receiving foreign influences in their lives.
By based on this fact, here Willard A. Hanna mention about the existence of Chinese people in Bali especially in the 19th century. Hanna did not offend the Chinese material culture, which means, in addition to Kopeng (Chinese coin holes) and betel nuts are preferred Balinese people young and old. Lombard, Hanna, or the peeling Yuanzhi Kong Chinese culinary heritage is not even mentioned at all related to the cross-Bali region Chinese culture in the archipelago. Lombard probably true, rarely mention the Chinese culture Chinese culture signifies a bit blurred on the island of the gods. The Balinese Habits
