Nyama braya

The Balinese people could come and sit together to perform Ngayah (lit.'Balinese communal work') due to the sense of Nyama braya.

Nyama braya (from Balinese ᬜᬫᬩ᭄ᬭᬬ) is a form of ethnoreligious Balinese socio-moral stance, commonly adhered by the native Balinese (incl. Bali Aga) in the Indonesian island of Bali, where the Balinese prioritize the sense of Tat Twam Asi (lit.'considering that all people are naturally not a stranger to each other'),[1] which correspondence as one of the efforts to implement Tri Hita Karana (ᬢ᭄ᬭᬶ​ᬳᬶᬢ​ᬓᬭᬦ), the three fundamentals in Balinese philosophy, which believed as the source of everlasting joy or happiness (by improving good relationship with God/deity, another people, and giving back to the nature). These Nyama braya in Balinese society also could be seen as a form of ethnic kinship, ethnic collectivism, or ethnic brotherhood.
