Hindu in Bali is a little bit different. Balinese who is a Hindu is also pray to Buddhist Temple. Even in our Hindu Temple, sometimes there is a Buddhist Temple inside. You can see this happen in Batur Temple. Some Hindu temple is also located beside Buddist Temple. For example, in Denpasar, there is a Buddist temple which is named Griya Kongco Dwipayana, located beside Tanah Kilap Temple. In Bali, Hindu and Buddha have a really strong bond. We live together in harmony. I think this happen because our ancestor, The King Balingkang married Kang Cing Wie who is a buddhist.

Now, I will tell you about one Buddist temple that I always visit with my friend. This temple is located near my village, in Blahbatuh Regency. That is one of my reason why I do prefer to pray in this temple. Beside that, this temple is also never fail to make my mind feel calm and fresh. The unique one of this temple is this temple is located under an old bridge. I always pray to this Buddist temple since I was in college. The first time I went to Vihara Amurvha Bhumi was with my cousin. It's really awkward to entered this temple before because I thought that I am a Hindhu and I have to pray only in Hindu Temple not in Buddhist Temple. But she explain to me very well and I am happy I could visited this temple that time. Thanks a lot to her!
