Buda Wage Klawu

 


Rahina Buda Wage Klawu Which falls on Wednesday, August 11, 2021, or usually also called Buda Cemeng Klawu, is a day of worship of Bhatara Rambut Sedana or also known as Dewi Laksmi, who bestows prosperity and prosperity.

This Wage Klawu Buda ceremony falls on Wednesday Wage Wuku Klawu in the Saka-Bali calendar, which is commemorated every 210 days or every 6 months by the Hindu community in Bali.

According to Balinese customs, Hindus believe that Ida Betari Rambut Sedana/Dewi Laksmi is doing yoga and it is also believed that today it is not allowed to use the money for things that do not come back in the form of goods, for example paying debts or saving money, because money is trusted. This wealth will not be able to return forever and is lost by our greedy nature as humans.

The Buda Wage Klawu ceremony is carried out by all Hindus in Bali, especially those who open trading businesses, for example, traders in markets, shop owners, restaurants, financial services, workshops, even to companies that drain funds quickly in running a company. Usually, at every place used to save money, special offerings are given to honor Ida Betara Sedana or Dewi Laksmi as an expression of gratitude for His gift.

Philosophy in Cemeng Klawu

In the marriage of Nitisastra IV.7 it is stated as follows:

Singgih emphasizes Yuganta kali tan Hana Lewiha Sakeng Mahadhana. Tan waktan uses the sura Pandita Widagdha to crawl the Dhaneswara ring.

Meaning: when the times have come, nothing is more valuable than money. It's hard to say that scientists, braves, saints, and powerful people are all servants of the rich.

From the Hindu literature sources mentioned above, it can be understood that money is essentially a means, not the goal of life, so it depends on how humans use these facilities.

If the money is obtained and used according to the concept of divinity, then the money is very useful in bringing people to a happy and spiritual life, but on the other hand, if the money is considered the most valuable goal, the money will be able to bring misery. Therefore, place the money as a means of realizing Dharma/truth/goodness.

Hopefully, this article can be useful for Semeton. If there is an incomplete or inaccurate explanation, please correct it together. Buddha Wage, the name is a sly Buddha, the explanation is, realizing the essence of the sanctity of the mind, namely the breaking of the qualities of lust, that is the yoga of Bhatari Manik Galih, by bringing down Sang Hyang Omkara Amrta (the essence of life), beyond the scope of the world of scale. So it is appropriate to do Widhiwidana with fragrant, worship in the studio and on the bed and offer to Sang Hyang Cri, then do holy meditation at night.

In addition, in Balinese belief today it is not allowed to make transactions with money, for example paying debts, collecting debts, or saving. Although at this time this belief is very difficult to implement, there are valuable lessons to be learned that as humans we must be able to control ourselves and curb our passions. Besides that, they understand that money is not everything because above everything there is still the power of God that regulates all of it. (quoted from various sources)the taboo on transactions among some Balinese is a taboo to transact using money and the like when Buda Wage Klawu in some areas is also mentioned when Buda Wage Klawu is forbidden to pay or collect debts or give rice to others, for modern society this kind of view is, of course, It is difficult to accept that the dynamics of the community's economy are so high that it is impossible to stop transactions using money in a day. Stopping transactions means also stopping economic activities. Stopping economic activities means loss. Transactions using money and similar means of payment on Bude Wage Klawu are interpreted as local wisdom. Bali, in looking at the meaning and significance of money, Balinese people realize that money is something that occupies an important position in people's lives today, especially in this paradoxical period as described in the book of Niti. Literature in the Kaliyuga era that won was he who had money with money people could do anything to satisfy their desires such as buying the latest car, luxury house, to buying a high position. Because money is so powerful, Balinese people are always reminded to be able to control themselves in the treat and earn money, the Balinese are made aware that money is not everything, money is not a god and the Balinese are reminded to manage their money wisely and wisely in the book of Sarasamuscaya. The remaining one-third of life (kama) is to be donated to charity (Dharma) in a broad sense, including helping others to assist the poor and neglected children, Article 34 of the 1945 Constitution.
