Abstract

Myths are common in Balinese society’ belief system that rooted back to the local religion, Wali and Hinduism teaching. There are many stories in ancient texts; most of them cover the story of influential figures such as Gods, Deities, Demon, evil spirit and et cetera. Gods and Goddess represent good, righteousness and source that brings happiness and joy to human. In contrast, other entities like Demons and evil spirits become a symbol of maleficent that create chaos and disaster on earth. Through Balinese history, there were many disasters, plagues, and diseases that took heavy tolls. The Myth from ancient Balinese texts helps to provide consultation as well as the perspective of the ancient civilisation in dealing with many unfortunate situations, including plagues and diseases. The mythical story leads to numerous ceremonies being celebrated on the island. The ritual act as an expression of gratitude, apologise, and a moment to self-reflect that humankind is not the only creature that inhabits the universe. The teaching emphasises that the local community is mandatory to take care of their environment, avoid exploiting nature, subsequently as an alarm to the individual to live in humble and responsible. Despite the locals are well adapted to modern technology and received higher education, apparently did not halt the rites. They believed the activities are identity as well as precious treasure from their honourable ancestor.
神话与疾病中的巴厘视角:社会如何应付与生存
神话在巴厘岛社会中很常见,你的信仰体系可以追溯到当地的宗教,瓦利和印度教教义。古代文献中有很多故事;其中大部分都是关于有影响力的人物的故事,比如神、神灵、恶魔、邪灵等等。神和女神代表着善,正义和给人类带来幸福和快乐的源泉。相比之下,恶魔和邪灵等其他实体则成为邪恶的象征,在地球上制造混乱和灾难。在巴厘岛的历史上,有许多灾难、瘟疫和疾病造成了沉重的损失。古代巴厘岛文本中的神话有助于提供咨询以及古代文明的观点,以处理许多不幸的情况,包括瘟疫和疾病。这个神话故事导致岛上举行了许多庆祝仪式。这一仪式是一种表达感激、道歉的方式,也是一种自我反省的时刻,让我们意识到人类并不是宇宙中唯一的生物。教学强调,当地社区有义务照顾他们的环境,避免剥削自然,随后作为一个警报,以谦虚和负责任的个人生活。尽管当地人很好地适应了现代技术并接受了高等教育,但显然并没有停止这种仪式。他们认为这些活动是他们尊贵祖先的身份和宝贵财富。
