Size 10″ x 3″. The beliefs of the Balinese are a living force that pervades the island and reverberates outside it. The island sings of love. The love that spends an hour making an offering of woven palm leaves and beautiful flowers. The love that finds the time, every-day, to think of giving something to the Gods; by lighting a stick of incense, by praying a Mantra, by sprinkling holy water or by doing a Mudra (a sacred movement with the hands). Bali is also the love bestowed upon their children, the beautiful processions and the intricate offerings made with simple humility. The Balinese consider magic as true and the power of spirits and much of their religion is grounded in this belief. As in Hinduism, Balinese religion is a quest for balance between the forces of good and evil. The main expression of Balinese religion is through rituals or festivals in which the people spend hours making offerings of flowers, food, and palm leaf Figures. Daily small offerings called canang sari, which contain symbolic food and flowers are placed in temples and shrines around the family compound.
