ABSTRAK Agama Hindu memiliki tiga kerangka dasar yaitu tattwa, etika dan upacara. Ketiganya tidak berdiri sendiri, tetapi suatu kesatuan yang dilaksanakan oleh umat Hindu. Jika hanya filsafat agama yang diketahui tanpa melaksanakan ajaran-ajaran susila dan upacara, tidaklah sempurna. Dalam melaksanakan yadnya umat Hindu tidak dapat lepas dari tiga kerangka dasar tersebut. Yadnya yang berarti memuja, menghormati,berkorban tulus iklas, mengabdi, berbuat baik berupa apa yang dimiliki demi kesejahteraan dan kesempurnaan hidup bersama dan kemahamuliaan Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Dengan melaksanakan yadnya, umat Hindu di Bali percaya dapat mendekatkan diri dengan Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa sebagai kepercayaan skala-niskala dan juga adanya hutang yaitu Rna. Ada tiga jenis hutang yaitu dewa rna yaitu hutang hidup kepada Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, pitra rna yaitu hutang jasa kepada leluhur dan rsi rna yaitu hutang suci kepada rsi. Dengan adanya rasa berhutang itulah sudah sewajarnya hutang tersebut dibayar, diwujudkan kedalam upacara yadnya. Dengan melaksanakan yadnya dapat menghubungkan diri dengan Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Melalui sarana-sarana inilah dapat tertanam rasa terimakasih kehadapan Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Upacara Aci Penaung Bayu termasuk dalam upacara Dewa Yadnya khususnya pemujaan kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dalam manifestasi beliau sebagai Dewa Wisnu, Dewa pemelihara alam semesta beserta segala isinya.

All three do not stand alone, but a unity carried out by Hindus. If only the philosophy of religion is known without carrying out moral teachings and ceremonies, it is not perfect. In implementing the yadnya Hindus cannot escape the three basic frameworks. Yadnya which means worshiping, respecting, sacrificing sincerely, serving, doing good in the form of what is owned for the welfare and perfection of living together and the glory of Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. By implementing yadnya, Hindus in Bali believe that they can get closer to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa as a belief in scales and also the existence of debt, namely Rna. There are three types of debts, namely the God of Rna, namely the debt of life to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, the pitra rna, which is service debt to the ancestors and the rna, namely the sacred debt to rsi. With this feeling of debt, it is only natural that the debt be paid, manifested in the yad ceremony. By implementing yad it can connect itself with Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Through these facilities can be embedded a sense of gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. The ceremony of Aci Penaung Bayu is included in the ceremony of Dewa Yadnya, especially the worship of the Almighty God in his manifestation as Lord Vishnu, the god who cares for the universe and all its contents. This research was conducted to answer the following problems: (1) how is the process of carrying out the ceremony of acu pening bayu ?, (2) what is the function of the ceremony of acu pening bayu ?, (3) what educational values ​​are contained in the aci penung bayu ceremony ?. The theories used to solve this research problem are structural functional theory, religious theory, and value theory.  This research is in the form of a qualitative design with a phenomological approach. Data was collected using observation techniques, interview techniques, library techniques, and documentation techniques. After the data is collected, the data is analyzed by checking the validity of the data. Based on the analysis, conclusions were obtained as a result of the study, as follows: (1) the process of carrying out the aci penung bayu ceremony began with the nedunang ceremony of Ida Bhatara from the storage area (penataran agung), after which the ceremony of aci penung bayu, and finally the nyineb ceremony Ida Bhatara (stored to return storage) (2) Function of carrying out the Bayu Aci Penaung ceremony is a religious function, social integration function, energizing function.

Dancing at Lughnasa has been widely discussed as a memory play. Critics frequently analyze the way Michael's narration shapes the story he tells of five unmarried sisters living together in 1930's Donegal. Fewer critics, however, focus on Michael's representation of Father Jack, the missionary priest who returns after twenty-five years in Uganda. A surprisingly articulate anthropological observer who is more changed by the Ugandans than they by him, Father Jack defies the image of the missionary imperialist. Indeed, his portrayal conflicts with historical records. Father Jack's heterodox beliefs distress his family, but they find favor with postmodern audiences, eager to see Irish characters resist their part in the colonial enterprise. Friel's portrayal of Father Jack thus implicates the audience, not just Michael, in the play's selective memory.

Abstract Since the number of intricate problems with regard to peace and security faced by mankind on our sphere has been greater than what they can bear, the survival of human race on earth becomes a significant priority to be contemplated. Despite hard work and continued effort rendered by many experts, they face more serious issues and their resolutions are far from reality. It is because, in the author’s mind, rights and responsibilities are not properly observed. Particularly, in the area of religion people have lack of respecting the right of others and most of the times they are irresponsible. Every individual has their own choices according to their culture and belief which may not be acceptable to others. If every individual allows others to enjoy at their own choice while observing his own belief and tradition, we all can live in this world peacefully. This concept of living together with individual choice while respecting other’s choice may be called the concept of “agree to disagree” according to the author’s work. This ideology, which is yet to be well observed in our society, can surely replace violence with peaceful co-existence in the multi-religious and multi-cultural societies.   Keywords: Agree to Disagree, Mankind, Religious Dispute, Multi-Cultural Societies, peaceful Co-Existence. Abstrak Sejak masalah berkaitan dengan keharmonian dan keselamatan yang dialami manusia melebihi yang boleh ditanggung, kehidupan manusia di dunia ini menjadi satu keutamaan  yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Walaupun banyak usaha dan langkah diambil oleh pihak pakar, mereka mengalami masalah lain yang lebih serius dan resolusi mereka adalah jauh dari matlamat. Ini kerana, dalam minda pengarang, hak dan tanggungjawab tidak diperhatikan dengan betul. Terutamanya dalam hal agama, orang kekurangan kehormatan terhadap hak orang lain dan kebanyakkannya adalah tidak bertanggungjawab. Setiap individu mempunyai kepercayaan dan hak masing-masing yang tidak boleh diterima oleh yang lain. Jika setiap individu membenarkan yang lain untuk mempunyai kepercayaan dan hak masing-masing, manusia semua boleh hidup dengan aman. Konsep ini boleh dipanggil sebagai konsep “setuju untuk tidak bersetuju” menurut kajian pengarang. Ideologi ini, yang masih belum diperhatikan dengan sepenuhnya dalam masyarakat kita, pasti boleh menggantikan keganasan dengan kehidupan aman bersama dalam masyarakat berbilang kaum dan budaya. Kata Kunci: Setuju untuk Tidak Bersetuju, Manusia, Pertikaian Agama, Masyarakat Berbilang Agama, Kehidupan Aman Bersama.
