Some of Bali's celebrated achievements are clear enough to be noticed as human contributions, such as architecture and many other arts forms, farming and rice field cultivation, economic health, community or group work for many social activities. The others are often too subtle to be noticed immediately, such as protection of nature, maintenance of spiritual balance, and moral practice. Through long journey in history, from migration period more than 2 thousand years ago, kingdom period in the middle age to early 20'th century, revolution for Indonesia independent, until this modern day business, tourism, and globalization, the Balinese had managed to live as closely as possible to the ideal value they collectively respect. |
