Abstract
This article, which was first published in Dutch as a section in a larger collection entitled 'Bali: Studies in Life, Thought and Ritual', describes the religious character of the Balinese village community. It argues that the Balinese village forms a closed, self-contained unit because of the integrating roles religion plays in village temples, village administration, meetings, and public ceremonies.
