Abstract

From a study, there are 2 contents found in rituals which can be divided into 2 aspects:
The first one is abstract. It is a philosophy for living related to birth, elder, illness and death. In the community settled down for over 100 years, there are accumulation of wisdoms and beliefs and present in a form of rituals related to daily life, from the birth until the death, such as a ritual of birth, a ritual of wedding ceremony, and a ritual of death. The contents reflected in the rituals related to the way of life of Karen tribe. These rituals also reflect the belief accepting the supernatural power and can teach the people to ceremoniously live, be honest, live with honest livelihood, to agriculture, to create arts and performance as the way of the Karen. (p. 85-89)

The second one is concrete. It is related to the livelihood, agriculture, arts reflecting the relationship between men and the earth, environment, animals, plants, nature or the relationship between the people in the community and between men and the supernatural. Moreover, it presents the wisdom of learning and living together with the nature. This presents in a form of agriculture which is the shifting cultivation-a mode of production accordant with the nature, production, weaving and producing musical instruments. (p. 89-92)

The Karen uses their hidden wisdoms divided into 4 characteristics: 1. the wisdoms use through the fixed rules such as the traditions descended practiced; 2. the wisdoms use to manage the natural resource, the shifting cultivation, building irrigation ditch; 3. the assignment for surroundings in the daily life such as assigning the plants as herbal medicine and assigning the chedis as maintaining the memory of the people in the community; and 4. the wisdom use in the rituals such as paying respect to irrigation ditch spirit and river spirit. (p. 93)
