Tri Hita Karana

Tri Hita Karana is the traditional philosophy for life on the island of Bali. The literal translation is roughly the “three causes of well-being” or “three reasons for prosperity.”

The three (tri) causes referred to in the principle are:

Harmony with God
Harmony among people
Harmony with Nature

Tri Hita Karana is credited for the island’s prosperity as a whole, its relatively stable record of development, environmental practices, and the overall quality of life for its residents.
