MANADO
A prosperous progressive Christian town and capital of the province. Population
is about 190,000. No sharp class distinctions here and no extreme poverty.
These people, the Minahasans, like and enjoy westerners. All the girls
wear dresses (no traditional dress) and shops are quite fad conscious,
even selling trendy denim dress overalls. At night everyone is strolling
down hectic streets filled with blaring modern Chinese shops. Buy good
maps of Minahasa (Rp3000) or of the city (Rp1500), plus guide books and
history books of the area at Toko Cozy Corner, Pinkan. There's a Buddhist
Society, Vihara Buddhayana, JI. Yos Sudarso 8, where you can inquire about
Chinese and Indian Buddhist houses of prayer and meditation groups. Get

we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between
two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists
of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided
in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The
former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still
considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely
purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated.
Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the
redemption of their souls.
