Implementation of Tri Hita Karana in the Preservation of Ngayah Culture in Bali

Ngayah is one of the local wisdoms that has grown and developed in Bali. Simply put, ngayah refers to voluntary activities performed without expecting material rewards, but for social and religious purposes. This activity is considered a social obligation that strengthens relationships among community members and enhances solidarity within the community. Ngayah plays an important role in the preservation of Balinese culture, community empowerment, and environmental awareness. Efforts to preserve ngayah can be made through education and outreach to younger generations, the use of digital technology, and the provision of incentives or recognition. In the context of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, ngayah demonstrates the harmonious relationship between humans, God, and nature, reflected in social activities involving mutual cooperation. Therefore, ngayah not only functions as a social activity but also as a means to strengthen the values of tolerance, togetherness, and harmony in Balinese society.
