Oct 2, Balinese Ceremony for World Peace........Trust God

The temple was located on the north side of Mt Batur about halfway down the mountains.

The temple is on a ridge that runs from the top of the mountain down to the sea......elevation about 3,500 ft.  

To reach the temple we had to climb approximately 160 steps. As we climbed the steps the energy of the temple was so soft yet powerful that it appeared to fill our bodies with helium and we simply floated up the steps arriving in the temple courtyard with minimum huffing and puffing.

Arriving in the outer court yard it was clear that once again Kabayan picked the perfect temple for a Ceremony for World Peace for it was decorated as if they knew we were comming.

The open door to the inner temple invites us to come in. 

It's time to go down on our knees again.  The Balinese do it with such grace and ease.  For David and I it requires more thought and patience with our bodies. 

The temple floor had many berries that had fallen from the tree.  No one seemed to mind even though we all had our nice temple costumes on.  It made me reflect for awhile as I watched their dedication to their spiritual practice.  They were not distracted or detoured from connecting with The One Supreme God.

Kavayan lead the ceremony as we each did a personal and collective prayer for Peace.

The Balinese believe that when there is chaos in the world it is because the world is out of balance
every one is fighting to win be in control.

Their role is to surrender it all to God as they each focus one brings more love into the world which will rebalance the energy and bring miracles of peace and calm.

It happened in Bali after the Bali bombing and they feel it can happen in the world if enough people choose only love as their action.

After the ceremony Holy Water was collected to take back to their family temple where the prayers for peace will continue each day, till the balance is achieved and peace and calm arrives again on the earth.  

The holy water blessings always makes us feel cleansed and purified.  This still amazes me.

At the completion of the ceremony, like life the journey was only half over,  We had to get back to the bottom and then a 2 hr ride back to Sayan.

Pam and I felt honored that so many had gathered to be a part of this Ceremony.  Some drove over four hours to get to the temple.  What a gift to be a part of something so special.
