    I'm a hindu from Bali, in Bali we also have substantial number of Chinese. It creates syncretism which is quite interesting to see. When we have religious ritual they often join us, and other way around.

    • @InayaHaribo
      @InayaHaribo หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not quite syncretic because the Chinese family in Bali most of them are strictly budhist and confucian, they were NOT practicing panca Yadnya, they NOT pray to Hyang Widhi which is the synonym of Brahman, NEVER said all religion are the same

      ​@@InayaHaribo I bet you've never heard of pinggan village before, there is history about the chinese since 10 century and intermarried with the locals, and one the chinese married a balinese king, there's even chinese shrine inside Batur temple to commemorate that, in Denpasar chinese people pray in Tanah Kilap which is obviously hindu temple with element of tridarma religion. They made offering with "canang", practicing bhuta yadnya by "ngejot", have literaly "penunggun karang" which is like spirit house in bali, there's a sacred folk dance literally called "baris cina" in sanur with their modified bali-chinese instruments called "gong beri", there is a guan yin shrine in giri putri temple, balinese people still using chinese coins for rituals, and many more. Probably you're the one that too blind to see, or don't understand how religion works in Indonesia, in Bali particularly

    May Allah grant you the best in this world and the next, Darren. I'm a fellow convert of nearly 17 years and I can relate to your "salafi" phase in the beginning of your journey within Islam. It's a stage many of us go through as we lack proper guidance and mentorship. As we mature spiritually we understand that Islam isn't that narrow. The loneliness you face as a convert is something we will always carry with us. I am married and have three beautiful children, but celebrating Eid and Ramadan will always be bittersweet as I can't share it with my extended family. May Allah guide our families and surround us with good company who ease our loneliness. 🤲🏻

    Salaam brother, wonderful story. I know you from Plan B. Always love its intellectualism. Ramadān - Yeah, in fact, I take the month off work to cook for family so we can have a good, happy setting during iftar and sahur. If the time is not yet right to marry a (good) Muslim girl, then yah, try heading to the mosques. They have decent iftar events and prayers. Another idea, is to start cooking yourself. And bring your current family together during iftar! Dinner for them, iftar for you. The best chefs are men! Hope all these help!

    By the way, nothing wrong with being Salafi. Nothing wrong with adopting a literal interpretation of scripture. Just as its nothing wrong with Tassawuf and some spiritualistic intepretation of scripture. Just as long all these intepretations are from the Quran and Sunnah only along with classical scholarly works from the various Madhabs.
