BALİ’DEKİ HİNDUİZM ÇERÇEVESİNDE SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK ÜZERİNE DİNSEL ÖĞRETİLER

Bali kültürü baskın bir şekilde Hint kültüründen etkilenmiştir. Bu durum yüzyılın başından günümüze kadar sosyal, kültürel, ekonomik ve politik açıdan Balililerin günlük hayatlarında görülebilir. Bali’de sadece Hindu değil, Budist öğretiler de deneyimlenmiştir. Bu iki öğretinin etkisi, sürdürülebilir bir yaşamın nasıl devam ettirildiği konusunda Bali kültürünü güçlü bir şekilde yapılandırmıştır. Bu çalışmada açıklanması gereken bazı önemli sorulara yer verilecektir. İlk olarak, sürdürülebilirlik kavramı, Hint kültüründen güçlü bir şekilde etkilenen Bali kültürü bağlamında nasıl açıklanır? İkinci olarak, topluluklarda maneviyat kavramı ve yaşamın sürdürülebilirliği göz önüne alındığında Bali algısının nasıl olduğu ve son olarak da Balililer’in “Ajeg Bali” olarak bilinen sürdürülebilir yaşamı idame ettirebilmeleri için küreselleşmenin etkilerini nasıl öngördükleridir. Bu analiz doğrultusunda, Hinduizmbağlamında dinsel öğretinin sürdürülebilirlik üzerinde ne ölçüde etkili olduğunun daha iyi anlaşılması beklenmektedir.

RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS ON SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF HINDUISM IN BALI

The Balinese culture has been dominantly influenced by the Indian culture. This can be seen at their daily life in terms of social, cultural, economic and political perspectives, starting from the early of the century until now. Not only the Hindu lessons, but also the Buddhist lessons have been practiced in Bali. These two influences have strongly characterized the Balinese culture in the context of how they maintain their sustainable life . There are some important questions that need to be addressed in this paper: Firstly, how can we define the concept of sustainability in the context of Balinese culture that have been strongly influenced by the Indian culture? Secondly, how the Balinese perception regarding to the concept of spirituality and the sustainability of life, in the communities, and thirdly how the Balinese anticipate the impacts of globalization in order to be able to live in sustainable life, known as “Ajeg Bali”? Through this analysis, it is expected to have a better understanding on to what extend the religious teaching on sustainability in the context of Hinduism.
