Tri Hita Karana (THK) is a concept that describes three elements or layers that cause happiness. "Tri" means three, "hita" refers to being prosperous or happy, and "karana" refers to causes. Thus, THK implies that there are three sources of well-being and happiness in life both physically and mentally.
According to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10 of 2009 concerning tourism, tourism must be organized according to certain principles. One of the principles that is upheld is respect for religious norms and cultural values as the embodiment of the concept of life in a balanced relationship between humans and God Almighty, the relationship between humans and fellow human beings, and the relationship between humans and the environment.
The concept of Tri Hita Karana equilibrium has three conditions that influence each other. First, if the microcosm (individual) is in balance with the macrocosm (universe), a state of harmony is created. Second, if the microcosm is larger than the macrocosm, this reflects greed. And third, if the microcosm is smaller than the macrocosm, then the individual is resigned.
By understanding the THK concept and applying it in daily life, it is hoped that we can achieve balanced prosperity and happiness between relationships with God, fellow human beings, and the surrounding environment.
