The Basic Character

THE Balinese culture aspects that are really basic and penetrate, make they are considered to be the strongly basic of behavior and character that closely related. This strength is rooted in two basic systems that close related:

Hinduism-Balinese

the whole family system, community ('banjar') and the ancestor.

These show the influence, although the reality that most of Balinese people can not explain the religious principle. It is true that most of Balinese people do vary rituals and ceremonials for the simple faiths or as a traditional custom. The ceremonials need the communities' participants that loyalty done for getting a trustworthy relationship in their social life.

The basic elements of the Balinese-Hinduism are:

five faiths of Hindu-Dharma principles,

three factor concepts: buana alit, buana agung, and Gods.

Besides, it's noted that the family, ancestor, and community are involved and need each other. None of them, except the homeless drifter or skizofrenia people, may be functioned without being these three. Every Balinese people since their birth is blessed in the three factor systems above, and have implanted since the earliest.
