Abstract

Bali has a great tradition or culture in various aspects of life that make up the local wisdom of the local community. Local wisdom is the main factor of life tolerance of Balinese people. Although Bali is known as an island populated by Hindu majority, there are also Muslim communities who have inhabited Bali since the 15th century and live side by side. This was a qualitative research that aimed to describe and analyze local wisdom and religious tolerance in Bali. The data acquired in this research included primary and secondary data collected through library study technique and filed research covering focus group discussion and interview with key informants. The process of data analysis started by examining all the data obtained from various sources related with the themes and were viewed from the perspective local wisdom and tolerance. The study revealed Muslims in Bali had their own color to plural society life. They were not completely deprived of their culture, because they still adopted a local culture that was not against Islamic fundamental values. The harmonious life was the result of a long process of assimilation so that it gave a birth to a life order that run side by side. In the social order, the people of Bali are familiar with the concept of Brahma, which means the bond of brotherhood as a way to reach happiness and harmony. Local wisdom in Bali includes values, norms, ethics, beliefs, customary laws, and specific rules integrated into people's lives. Local wisdom formed a harmonious relationship between man and man, man with nature and man with knowledge. Therefore, local wisdom for both Muslim or non-Muslim community in Bali created a tolerant society life.
