Tri Pusaka Çakti is an educational foundation and vehicle dedicated to recording, preserve, sharing and glorifying the arts of Bali, drawing inspiration from the deepest roots of this mysterious and complex culture. Tri Pusaka Çakti is a newly established foundation but its direct lineage goes back to 1971 with the creation of Panti Pusaka Budaya founded by I Made Djimat, one of Bali’s more famous dance performers and teachers.
Many excellent artists were born from the inspired training of Djimat and Panti Pusaka Budaya provided their performers with many opportunities to show their skills to many audiences nationally and internationally. This original foundation served the ancient, classic and traditional forms of Dance, Drama and theatre and did significant work in resurrecting the dance dramas such as Gambuh, Calonarang, Topeng, Legong Genggong And others.
In 1999, from the fruit of Panti Pusaka Budaya grew another foundation with a more expanded vision. Naturally this was directed by the son of Djimat-Nyoman Budi Artha, S.Sn., M.Si., Following in his fathers dance steps Nyoman became a master dancer and teacher. In functioning as foundation director Nyoman Budi Artha far surpassed His father and under Nyoman’s dynamic leadership the foundation continues to flourish. The Pusaka Artha Ensemble within its six years of life has accomplished many things and expanded in many directions.
Along with directing, creating, teaching and performing within the foundation, Nyoman Budi Artha has worked full-time within Bali’s Cultural Department, completed his master degree, all while raising his own family of dancers. Now having completed his time within the Cultural Department he has gained tremendous experience and contacts to launch the vehicle which embraces his full vision and mission, the Tri Pusaka Çakti Foundation
There is an indescribable feeling that you sense when you touch and taste the Essence of Bali, millions of souls from around the world. Have been inspired by this mysterious power that the Balinese continue to hold.
When the essence or “Sari” of Bali is studied or research and published in summary form as books, films, curriculum and newsletters – in many languages; only then can the Balinese culture truly give and the outside cultures receive. With Tri Pusaka Çakti we believe that the fullest expression in giving this essence is through the dance music, and theatre. We will be aiming for nothing short of initiating a new renaissance for the Balinese arts. Drawing from the deepest roots of Essential Bali new creations of our artistic endeavors will blossom into bright and colorful manifestation from this exotic flowering tree. Therefore UNDER-STANDING is the mission of Tri Pusaka Cakti and the programs of “Essential Bali” its vision. To reach understanding we must dig deep into the root wisdom of this island and provide channels which translate and communicate “Essential Bali’ to the entire planet.
The concept within which “Essential Bali” is established is Tri Hita Karena. This is the union of humanities relationship with the Divine, humans with one another and our relationship with nature. The Balinese culture and traditional laws called “ADAT” were created so that Tri Hita Karena would be fully honored by all. With the advent of tourism and modernization new ADAT or culturally agreed upon laws are required. Laws that teach people to recycle the waste and in general serve to protect and beautify the source of this essence. Our program implements many alternative earth friendly ways to restore harmony and purity in our communion with mother earth.
Spiritually, Bali has retreated from their former, highly advanced spiritual process of Siwa-Buddha, grounded in animism – to the most basic maintenance way of Hindu Dharma. The task of Tri Pusaka Çakti is to fully expose the roots of the spiritual and cultural process so that the Balinese are given the “big picture” and a fuller awareness as to WHO they are. The awakening of this core awareness is synomomous with the blossoming of this exotic flower this is the real Bali. The motto of essential Bali is “Roots to the future” and our guiding symbol is the Balinese Goddess of the arts and education, SARASWATI.
In Her four arms she carries wisdom, the arts, beauty and devotion. We of the Tri Pusaka Çakti foundation have choose HER way which carries the essence and we have assumed the responsibility to establish an appropriate vehicle which glorifies her form in the would. Through weaving a new word made of strands from the arts, from natures, glorious garden, inspired education and devotion to this newly awakened feminine, we will strive to create new life designs of unity peace, freedom, responsibility and happiness.
This new foundation is engineered to continually seek out the essence within the arts, the culture and the source found within nature and the spiritual process. Tri Pusaka Çakti will in summary publish the information creating teaching tools in the form of books, newsletters, films, multi-media programs, courses and new curriculum for schooling, locally, nationally and internationally.
To compliment our programs we intend to borrow ways and means from other related educational organizations such as outward Bound, Findhorn, Roots and Shoots, as well as others established here in Bali and abroad. Through co-operation with the foundation IDEP we open the channel with which we can produce and publish books and manuals, such as the ones (Tri Sakti Trilogy) included within this proposal. We are also working in cooperation with “Children of the Earth” to facilitate our participation in the healing arts, nature and eco-tourism.
In this material-mad global society more and more people are looking for what is essential to life, looking towards the arts, spirituality and nature. Tri Pusaka Çakti’s purpose is to make “Essential Bali” available to all. Through tapping the essence within the Balinese arts, spirituality and nature we intend to change Bali’s relationship with the world. When education has become the foundation, tourism will be re-established within a very different orientation. This will enable the next generations of Balinese to understand and live their essence, having the ability via guide training, performance, education etc to clearly and in summary form communicate with their guests. Promotion of our programs abroad will be directed toward those wanting the learn and grow through access to Essential Bali.
Performance around the world will be geared not just to entertain. Through multi-media show purposed to lift the soul, open the heart and blow the mind, we will give audiences a new and fuller vision of Bali. All international programs and performances from Tri Pusaka Çakti will be highly polished and extremely professional, yet carry the spirit which inspires
