Abstract
This document identifies two broad cultural meanings that enable the Huichol to maintain their traditions, centered on the temple as microcosm. Firstly, Huichol identity is maintained though ceremonial activities and the temple cargos. Secondly, balance in the cosmos and harmony for all in the world is secured through the ceremonies and by caring for the temple. (For non-English terms see Schaefer [1996] "Glossary."
