Denpasar (ANTARA) - Coordinating Minister for Human Development and\nCulture (Menko PMK) Pratikno has assessed that Nyepi, observed by the\nHindu community, is relevant to be applied amid the current global\nconditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always and continue to reflect on how Nyepi is so relevant in a\nworld full of noise; through Nyepi, we restore clarity, we organise our\nattention so as not to get lost in the hustle and bustle of a noisy\nworld,\u201d he said in Denpasar, Bali, on Friday.<\/p>\n
Pratikno, at the peak of the 2026 National Dharma Santi, stated that\nduring Nyepi, besides the human body stopping for a moment of silence,\nthere are also the values of Catur Brata Penyepian that can be\ntranslated into daily life.<\/p>\n
Starting with Amati Geni, which teaches humans not to easily get\ninflamed\u2014in this case, by anger and hatred\u2014by applying this rule, when\nemotions arise, humans are accustomed to pausing for a moment.<\/p>\n
Then Amati Karya invites humans to reflect on their work, ensuring to\navoid destructive work and focus on meaningful and humane work.<\/p>\n
Amati Lelungan asks humans to take time not to travel but to sit\nquietly, visiting one\u2019s own inner self or enjoying the home with\nfamily.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf at the dining table, don\u2019t look at your phone individually;\nnowadays many families gather physically but never communicate,\ntherefore let us practise Amati Lelungan, sit together with the family,\nlisten to the children,\u201d said the Coordinating Minister.<\/p>\n
The Coordinating Minister recounted how every day there are always\nreports of disasters or incidents affecting humans and nature.<\/p>\n
The spirit of Nyepi can serve as reflection in efforts to prevent or\nhandle them, thus requiring sensitive individuals who are not easily\nprovoked, or loyal, as values that can be gleaned from Nyepi.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause justice does not arise from noise, but justice arises from\nclarity in seeing oneself as well as others, therefore let us build a\nmore humane Indonesia, we must be able to restrain ourselves, think\ndeeply, and act with compassion,\u201d said Pratikno.<\/p>\n
It is known that the 2026 National Dharma Santi, themed Vasudhaiva\nKutumbakam: One Earth, One Family, Archipelago Harmony for an Advanced\nIndonesia, is the peak of the series of celebrations for the Holy Day of\nNyepi Saka 1948.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Coordinating Minister, attendees included the Head\nof BPIP RI, Deputy Minister of Culture Giring Ganesha, Deputy Minister\nof Tourism Ni Luh Puspa, and Deputy Minister of Population and Family\nDevelopment Ratu Isyana Bagoes Oka.<\/p>\n
