TRI HITA KARANA

Ancient Balinese Wisdom for Neo Humans

Ditulis oleh Anand Krishna

***

Our religious scholars often explain our relation with God as avertical one. While our relationship with fellow human beings and with nature is said to be a horizontal one. How can we draw such lines?

Even more erroneous is the notion that there is a hierarchy of relationship; that the relationship with God having pre-eminence over relationship with nature and with the rest of humanity.

This erroneoue perception has disturbed the entire ecosystem and given rise to a whole system of “sinlaundering”. The author of this little but very important and timely book tries to awaken us to the true meaning and practice of Tri Hita Karana -  the 3 Principles of Wllbeing – in which the living beings, nature and God are not separated by lines, but meet in a circle.

It  is not enough that we discuss Tri Hita Karana as a philosophical concept, we must practice it as a way of life. It should open up our minds and hearts to a better understanding and appreciation of life and nature. This book bears witness to Anand Krishna’s successful attempt toward that cause.
