Javanism - A Spirituality of Javanese; Indonesia

A man prepares two-dimensional bamboo woven horses for a trance dance perfomance as a thanksgiving from the family for the blessed in Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia, June 29, 2012. In Javanese philosophy, there are two worlds that human should deal with; macrocosm and microcosm. Macrocosm deals with spirituality and mystery, whereas microcosm deals with reality and physic. The aim of life is to harmonize the both. Javanism is a way of living, merely like Hinduism or Buddhism. It is a thought that stresses on inner peace, balance and harmony and it contains complete tools to interpret life whether it is the Sein (Being) or the Werden (Becoming).
