Tri Hita Karana is a traditional philosophy for life on the island of Bali, Indonesia. The literal translation is roughly the "three causes of well-being" or "three reasons for prosperity."〔Richard Fox, (Critical Reflections on Religion and Media in Contemporary Bali ), Brill, 2011〕 The three causes referred to in the principle are: # Harmony among people # Harmony with nature or environment # Harmony with God It is derived from the Balinese spiritualism and beliefs, which promotes harmony among fellow human beings through communal cooperation and promoting compassion; harmony towards God, manifested in numerous rituals and offerings to appease deities; and harmony with their environment, which strife to conserve the nature and promote the sustainability and balance of the environment. Tri Hita Karana is credited for the island's prosperity as a whole, its relatively stable record of development, environmental practices, and the overall quality of life for its residents.〔Anand Krishna, Tri Hita Karana: Ancient Balinese Wisdom for Neo Humans, Anand Ashram Foundation, 2008〕 The principle of Tri Hita Karana guides many aspects of Balinese life, from daily rituals, communal ''gotong-royong'' cooperation practice, to spatial organization in Balinese architecture. It is also reflected in the natural irrigation system on the island known as subak, which consists of cooperatively managed weirs and canals that draw from a single water source.〔UNESCO, (Cultural Landscape of Bali Province: the Subak System as a Manifestation of the Tri Hita Karana Philosophy ).〕 Former President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, even invoked it in his address to the International Conference on Sustainable Development during APEC 2013, which was held in Bali.〔Global Travel Industry News, (Bali’s Tri Hita Karana life philosophy recommended for APEC Sustainable Economic Development ), 9 October 2013〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tri Hita Karana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
