bissu
Bissu or existing bissu kamunitas Pangkep . They still adhere to tradition and the role of custodian and preserver of cultural values ​​and the classic bugis described as a demigod who has the power of leverage Supranatural.Mereka relationship with the spirit world and act as a spirit medium who entered . Once possessed before they can perform ritual ceremonies , such as a ritual Maggiri stab yourself . Bissu with its tradition of transvestite ( man who plays women ) are also said to be a religious priest of ancient pre- Islamic Bugis . They have their own language to communicate with the gods and the sesamanya.Keberadaan Bissu as the thread continuity of ancient customs and traditions that still exist Bugis Bugis ground until today .
In addition to the royal event , bissu also very dominant role on the show mappalili or down field . The ceremony was conducted over seven days and seven nights with reading spells called Mattesu Arajang the ritual blessing of the Gods pleaded sky . According to bissu , only with the blessing of the Gods of the farmers and the public can obtain good yields . Therefore , the event is considered sacred by mattedu Arajang traditional Bugis society . To note that the community considered Bissu Dewatae Bissu Pangkep very respected by other communities in the soil bissu bugis . Today the Community Bissu Pangkep led by Puang Matoa SAIDI domiciled in ' the palace ' ArajangE Segeri Pangkep .
For the people of South Sulawesi , Bissu term is a term that is familiar to their ears . However , if the term Bissu it faced on the residents bloody Java , Borneo , Sumatra , and the area - other areas outside of South Sulawesi , the iistilah must be something very foreign to them .

The researchers anthropologist ( spread of culture ) in a deal that took makssar in South Sulawesi daerh there are five kinds of gender . According to research Australian anthropologist , Sharyn Graham in research reportnya ; Sex , Gender and Priests in South Sulawesi , Indonesia , 29 November 2002 IIASNewsletter # 27 , Bugis culture recognize four types of single - gender and gender ; males ( oroane ) , women ( makunrai ) , women who look like men ( calalai ) , men who look like women ( calabai ) and the gender - bissu .

Bissu type is often misunderstood by most people . They are considered to be identical as calabai is a man - a man who dressed like a woman even though the role and position in kebudaan bugis Bissu this was not the case . There is also a unique mempertautkan owned by the Bissu this with the local belief called Tolotang , thing which obviously contradicted by the community that the representation Amparita Sidrap Tolotang adherents in Bugis .

Another uniqueness of the Bissu itself could be seen in every season, the group is always so decisive Bissu better , compared to agriculture experts . This ritual in the call mappasili or ritual washing Bissu bersejerah objects . Then proceed with the residents to go to the field . As if to trust people , they should not go to the field before the bissu this ritual held mappasili . Also when dealing with people who are sick . Bissu role to sandro ( healers ) . We also know , they are the people who are immune and not susceptible to puncture dagger or other sharp objects .

Other researchers added , Nasruddin , Bissu or calabai ( Bugis : sissy ) interpreted the Bugis - Makassar , as an art . There is a ceremony known " Mappalili " . The event was a ceremony before the start of rice planting . The highlight of the ceremony is called called " Ma'giri " or body piercing with a dagger .

For foreigners who want to see and want to capture the ceremony , then they are obliged to ask permission in advance . However, permission is not intended for people or superiors in that place . However , it must request permission in the waveguide by the chairman / leader Bissu . People who would like to request permission that should go into a room , accompanied by Puang Matoa or Bissu leadership . In the room -sized one four feet , it just looks red cloth that wrapped the walls of the room. In indoor visible smoke from the incense - incense burning . After Puang Matoa cast a spell - a spell then requests permission for a procession finished perpetuate

Bissu alone understand , their demeanor that impressed "magic " , it is revealed divine miracle . Hence , they should be chaste and unmarried . All of them are transvestites , in the sense that they have to maintain purity. In the book La Galigo , Bissu regarded as a holy man or a descendant of the gods . In the structure of the kingdom in South Sulawesi , Bissu is spiritual and spiritual adviser of the king . So important figure for the community Bissu this , so in a ritual that they carry Bissu serve as its leader . Among the forms of ceremony that now remains is Mapeca and Masongka Bala Sure , the ceremony pleading for the public safety and the leaders of the kingdom . Bala Massongka ritual is a ritual that was so long ago . Since the existence of man , since it also held Massongka Bala and Bala Massongka leading the event it is Bissu class . Historically , Bissu dilihami determine the timing of the ceremony called the revelation of God eppa sulapa term ipasabbi yawa pole pole Yase . Here Bissu a mediator between man and God .

Origin of presence Bissu

No one can accurately explain the origin of Bissu presence in South Sulawesi . We can only predict from legend - the legend . According to a Bissu Saidi Puang Matoa Karaeng Sigeri , Bissu arrival in the know of the book can be Sure ' La Galigo . In the book it is said that in the history of human existence Bissu considered contemporary Bugis Bugis birth itself.

When Batara Guru as a human embryo in sure'La Galigo Bugis , down to earth from the world over ( botinglangik ) and met with the queen We Nyili Timo derived from the underworld ( borikliung ) , along with the first down anyway a Bissu named Lae - lae as a complement ancestral presence of the Bugis people .

Bissu existence in human history considered contemporary Bugis Bugis birth itself. When Batara Guru as a human embryo in sure'La Galigo Bugis , down to earth from the world over ( botinglangik ) and met with the queen We Nyili Timo derived from the underworld ( borikliung ) , along with the first down anyway a Bissu named Lae - lae as a complement ancestral presence of the Bugis people .
Bissu here through an intermediary , the ordinary people can communicate with the gods who dwell in Khayangan .

Bissu is pastor religion of ancient pre - Islamic Bugis . Bissu regarded accommodate two elements of human gender , ie male - male and female ( hermaphroditic beings who embody female and male elements ) . Additionally Bissu also able to experience two worlds ; natural beings and nature spirits ( Spirit ) . The existence of natural creatures Bissu existing in the real world . While the realm of the spirit ( Spirit ) that the existence of Bissu who could communicate with the gods . This is done by the Bissu only during rituals - rituals performed .

Chairman of the Bissu is a title Puang Matowa or Puang Towa . Biologically , now , bissu mostly played by men who have female traits ( hermaphrodite ) though there are also native women , who usually come from the upper class nobles , though not easy to tell which bissu men and where bissu the women . In daily life, bissu dressed like women with makeup and feminine clothing , but also still carries masculine attributes , for example by bringing the dagger .

In terms of language , derived from the word Bugis bissu ; bessi , which means clean . They called Bissu for not bleed , holy ( not dirty ) , and not having periods . There is also the claim that the word derived from the word Bissu Priest or Priestess Buddha , as expressed by C Man Pelras in Bugis , p 68 , as one form of Sanskrit influence in Bugis . " About Buddhism itself , some of my relatives who live in Sengkang claim still embraced Buddhism , which is said to be the original religion of the Bugis . They are still doing their own religious rites , although I have not done a comparison with Buddhist rituals performed by the Buddha in Indonesian society in general " . Also there is historical evidence to reinforce this phenomenon , such as the discovery of Buddha statues in Sempaga Amarawati patterned on the coast of South Sulawesi are from the second century AD . Suspected that the Buddhist monks , the monks ' ride' Indian merchant ships to the waters of the archipelago .

In the structure of Bugis culture , the role of Bissu quite special because in daily life is considered as the only communication between the human operator and the gods through ritual traditional ceremony in a language god / heaven ( alkaline Torilangi ) , hence Bissu also act as guard said oral tradition Ancient literature Bugis sure ' La Galigo . Sure if ' is the reading , then before removed from its storage place , beating the drum with a certain rhythm and burn incense . After the drum beat stopped , arose Bissu utter adoration and ask for forgiveness to the gods whose names will be called in the recitation sure ' it . Bissu also helps maintain all of the implementation of the traditional ceremonies , such as the ceremony of pregnancy , birth , marriage ( indo ' botting ) , death , release of vows , offerings , starting reinforcements , and others.

Ajarang procession .

In cramped indoor storage objects - artifacts , ritual held beginning with a recitation of the mantra bissu leadership . Then bergumpalah white smoke circling the room. Two machete then given by one bissu to pimpinannnya . Shrill voice out . In addition to a very shrill voice it , it also uses Bissu Bugis language that means also less able in mengerti.kemungkinan Bissu language that is spoken by the ancient Bugis language . While the music sounds teerdengar mistress , harps and flutes of a number of indigenous stakeholders . Bissu while others engaged in this ritual duty banging some equipment can emit . But strangely , the sound of the rhythm of the spoken spells bissu leadership .

After the opening ritual , the bissu then came into the room and as if imprisoned . Inside the room there is an object suspended in the sky - the sky 's room . Inside the room, the leadership position Bissu take a front row seat . Bertungku one leg sitting position . While his left hand holding a machete . Sentences or language that are unclear in the back by Bissu say it . Then followed other bissu voice . Her voice , the voice begins to lamaan small and large long ago issued a shrill voice . These activities by the Bissu regarded as one of the rituals requested permission from the ancestors that are considered historic objects that can be derived . He said , if not done ritual taboos like this . And finally , object wrapped in white cloth and hung in the sky - the sky is the room that was then lowered .

Seven indigenous stakeholders with a very busy bissu seen carrying bodies wrapped in white cloth . About three feet in length . Soon the white cloth was disibakan . Then terlihatlah by an old wood large enough . Turns out it was carried object is plow rice fields . Plow used by people - people will now go to the field . Bugis people termed Tekko . " This thing he said was hundreds of years old , or about 1770an years ago . And every year is always held the ritual washing artifacts . Upon cloth is removed, one by one the bissu bathing tool plowman 's or bissu say Arajang . Puncak this event is paraded around the arajang to the villages . mappasili that is why it is called ritual or as a sign of the farmers already have begun to fall into their fields to plow their fields . wonder, when after the plow made ​​of this wood - and dibungku washed banana leaves and surrounded pile of rice in various bond . balesse the Bugis call .

Sakti ?
Of surek La Galigo itself as a key reference Bugis ancient history , proving that it is precisely the presence of Bissu regarded as accompanist Lestarinya tradition deity / religious ancestors . In the past based on classic literature Bugis epic La Galigo , since the time Sawerigading , Bissu very central role , even regarded as sacred beings that gave stimulus ' Love Boat ' for Sawerigading in his search for his soul mate ; Cudai . Sawerigading amid anxiety that although magic mandraguna but was unable to cut down one tree to make a giant ship Wellerrengge , Bissu We Sawwammegga performing with his holy power obtained as ambivalence ; him once women , men as well as gods ( Sharyn Graham , 2002) .

This miracle story Bissu can also be found in the story of Palakka Whitewater in 1667 when invading with troops Soppeng against Lamatti , a district in Southern Bone , as many as one hundred Bissu Lamatti performed with weapons Walida ( loom beater ) memmang chanting ( chanting ) . Surprisingly , none of the soldiers weapon capable Soppeng Bone and wounding the magic bissu ( LY Andaya , 2006, p 106 ) .
In a ritual that can still be found up to now , maggiri tradition ' is a magic exhibition Bissu . Tradition stabbing himself with the dagger is intended to test whether the ancestral spirits / gods that magic has penetrated into the self bissu in a ceremony , so that when the immune Bissu dagger stab it , and the spirit that possessed him he can be trusted to give thanks to those who ask him . However , if the dagger penetrated and injured the Bissu , the spirit that possessed him was weak or absent altogether ancestral spirits who descend ( Sharyn Graham ) .

Being bissu

Bissu believed to be a gift from the gods . Not everyone , even the kind calabai , bissu could be on their own . Although at first were largely Bissu have a tendency as calabai . Such as that experienced by Muharrom be part of Gods Bissu Community since March 2003 , after he had a dream to meet an old man who asked to be bissu . He was convinced , was not an ordinary dream . However , an indication of the Gods , which will change the course of his life . Metamorphosis into a Bissu usually begins in childhood , when a child suffered from ambiguity and sexual orientation at the same time show ' linkages ' with the unseen world . Children with a unique dual will then be prepared to be bissu . Bissu needed to be a lot of requirements to prove that he received the ' blessing ' that include lying on a bamboo raft in the middle of the lake for three days and three nights without eating , drinking and moving . If successful , he would then be ordained a true Bissu ( Sharyn Graham ) .

Puang Matowa or community leader in the area of ​​the Gods Bissu Segeri , so eager to educate potential - potential new Bissu . On many occasions , they are taught the language to know Gods ( bissu base or bases to langiq ri ) and also La Galigo language , which is commonly used in every ceremony . Bissu language ( base to langiq ri ) is the language used by Bissu to dialogue with god . They are very secretive about this language . Puang Matoa can only describe that language Bissu contains praise - praise to God and petition to get a blessing .

In addition to studying the various issues and indigenous clergy , Hasna also got another of Puang Matowa science , namely to indo botting ( mother of the bride in a wedding party ) . He was in charge of the bridal makeup , wedding decorations , food to the guests . In fact , he often led the traditional rituals .

In addition , it handles the wedding party is the land of the living for the Bissu . They're known to skilled bridal makeup , the bride and groom costume set , also set pelaminannya place . Supranuturalnya capability was believed to make the bride shine , when they are in the chair pelaminannnya . Hasna admitted , he also has the ability like that .

Threats To Bissu

In the long history of Indonesia trip local religious communities or indigenous beliefs , culture and indigenous peoples who have been rooted since thousands of years ago experienced repeated threats associated with kebendaannya existence both in implementation and in terms of cultural ritual seizure of their communal rights
Broadly speaking, the threats affecting indigenous komuniatas begins at the entry of outside religions like islam religion that brought the merchants of Gujarat , Persia and others as well as Christianity brought by missionaries .
Another threat is the tendency of states to not recognize that eliminating cultures or beliefs of local streams that can be viewed with the recognition of 6 religions in fact not from the people of Indonesia .
Another thing that a serious anacaman for the existence of indigenous peoples is interest -driven global giant corporations through a liberalization scenario to control natural resources of Indonesia where highly marginalize customary rights of indigenous peoples which incidentally is the rightful owner of the natural resources long before Indonesia triggered on date 17-08-1945 .

Such as that experienced by Bissu community residing in Bone regency , Wajo , district and Pangkep Sopeng . Amid the onslaught of the threats that exist in this community tried hard to exist under kepemimpianan Puang Matoa Bissu to maintain and run the purity of doctrine Ilagaligo an inherited belief temururn contained in a book of " Sure " ILLAGALIGO whose history ILAGALIGO a child Sawe Rigading of which is named King Luwu with first wife Cudai , while King Sawerigading himself was the son of the marriage Guru who is the son of Patoto ' E Ri Boting Langi ( the leader of the world or heaven ) with WENYILOTIMO who is the daughter of Guru Salle ( leader of the underworld / Mother Earth ) .

Bissu community since its existence semapai now numbering 40 people, led Puang Matoa Bissu Saidi perform functions in addition to the functions mentioned above also serves / served to prepare the tools , such as ritual ceremonies " The Smell Ade Wewang Lino " , Lino Laowawang ceremony " . Determine the good and bad hearts and encourage Den Tu Sao Kati addition berbgaimacam other tasks as stated in the book ILLAGALIGO .

Looking at the situation of indigenous peoples in the face of the above which have an impact on the removal of the national identity of indigenous communities bahakan murder . Consolidation measures and the strengthening of indigenous peoples , including the agenda Bissu Community yng shall immediately and continually / continuously to be done towards a sovereign indigenous peoples . Lainadalah to recognize fully the keberdaan society .

Conflict with Islam ?

But at the same time , because of the political and religious constructions , Bissu regarded as a deplorable gap in Bugis modern Islamic societies because they oppose sunnatullah gender who only know the type of men and women , in addition to the role of syncretism was carrying. Even one doctrine that discredit their status is a byword that when touched or calabai Bissu it supposedly will bring bad luck for 40 days - 40 nights . Ironic ! Bissu no longer be considered to increase the degree of social as applicable in the past , even bring disaster alienation in society ( religious ) modern Bugis .

In some discourse , existence Bissu tend phenomenal considering a controversial presence in Bugis modern Islamic society . Because its existence is ambivalent , bissu deemed not accept sunnatullah , because they are physically male but dressed like women ( tranvestities ) . Bissu also considered because of its tendency to deviate from religion considers arajang and gems arajang have supernatural powers of the ancestors ( dynamism ) . In fact , according to the bissu it , they actually did the worship of God even though the rituals they believe . And also , they do not reject sunnatullah , but accept and run sunnatullah .

In the 1950s when the rebellion broke DI / TII Muzakar Kahar , Bissu is one of the most miserable . Kahar Muzakkar Bissu considers the activities of this is idolatry , not in accordance with the teachings of Islam and raise feudalism . Because of this activity , ceremonial tools , as well as the perpetrators eradicated . Hundreds of ceremonial paraphernalia burned or drowned in the sea . Many sanro ( shaman ) and Bissu either killed or forced to become a man who had to work hard .

The plight of the Sanro and Bissu existed when the Old Order ( Orla ) New Order regime was overthrown by the ( Order ) in 1965 . Arajang highlight commotion and the ceremony happens in Segeri mappalili . Arajang almost devoured by one of the youth organizations in power at the time. The Bissu and those who believe in the supernatural arajang be accused communist adherents or members of the Communist Party of Indonesia ( PKI ) . They are considered irreligious , siriq deeds , teachings embraced anisme considered . Anyone who still considers arajang as objects Kramat means double the Lord . Among those arrested had to choose between dying in suicide or chose to convert to Islam and become a normal human being ( man ) .

Doctrine emerged in the community , that if you see or Wandu Bissu then those who see it will supposedly unlucky not to get the fortune for 40 days - 40 nights .
Similarly, all the good deeds he had done during the 40 days are not accepted by God Almighty reward . Therefore, if you see Bissu or Wandu then he should be thrown away . Many of the previously Bissu sanro and highly respected by the community , is now the target of the throw and teasing on the streets . The Islamic purification movement they called " Operation Toba " ( Operation Repentance ) which at its height in 1966 . Since then , the ceremony Mappalili setback , Bissu ceremonies are no longer organized on a large scale . The Bissu hiding from death threats are hunting him . People no longer care about their fate , because some of them do support the movement " Operation Toba " is. Most people are sympathetic to the Bissu , just stay silent without being able to do anything about it . But when the rice harvest , but the result is not satisfactory so some people think it happens because not doing Mappalili ceremony .

With the realization that some of them hide Bissu left so as not to be killed , and that the ceremony be held again mappalili . Bissu - bissu survivors that are still there today. Now the number of those who left in the entire tribal region of South Sulawesi is not more than forty people alone . And to do a big ceremony Mappalili , Bissu number should amount to at least forty people ( Bissu PattappuloE ) in a custom region .

Of whom have already performed the pilgrimage to Mecca , even in his song bissu found in an old manuscript , which includes the name of an existing God , angels , and prophets . In general, the original bissu in South Sulawesi which is currently thought to number forty was statistically 's population adheres to Islam.

confidence bissu

Bissu community in Pangkep still exist with all the activities that became his trademark . Their presence was even the color of its own in the latter Pangkep always fill one Pangkep cultural diversity with Maggiri Dance performing arts . But , what actually religion and beliefs held this community ? It becomes sororan Pangkep society today .

Bissu community believe in the Gods Seuwae ( confidence turiolo Pre Bugis Makassar Islam ) . It was then reap the spotlight various parties regarding the beliefs held this community . Pangkep DPRD members of MCC , M Yusuf Halid , revealed , however beliefs held by Bissu it deviates from the pure Islamic faith . However, local government must behave responsibly handle .
According to Drs Ahmad , Head of Promotion of Tourism Disbudpar Pangkep , currently Bugis Makassar people embraced Islam in general . However , the ceremonies of worship to the gods and ancestors are of course beyond the teachings of Islam are still well appreciated by people who rely primarily as farmers and fishermen .
Rituals are now more directed to the tradition and culture is a continuation of the trust remaining ancient Bugis . With strength is believed to be a supernatural force , ' Bissu Dewatae' --- designation for community Pangkep Bissu in advance is highly respected royal adviser and respected .

' Bissu Dewatae ' depicted as a demigod and is considered as a medium to communicate with the spiritual world . Dewatae Bissu community living in a high- rules and discipline that seems difficult to be run by those who are not able to see this kind of lifestyle as a sacred calling .

A prospective bissu will require education and training is not easy for many years to be able to be a part of this community . In addition to studying the ethical kebissuan , which is an artificial language that they use in spells and when communion with the gods .

When performing the ritual ceremony , Bissu Dewatae are in a state of trance and then their bodies become immune to all forms of sharp objects . Their greatness can be seen as they perform Maggiri dance , a ritual dance where they stab themselves with sharp objects without getting hurt .

Tourists can see the attractions of them at the time Mappalili , the ceremony
down field is usually held in November . The ceremony is an annual ceremony of the most spectacular in Pangkep which lasted for seven days and seven nights . Puang Matowa Bissu in Pangkep , Saidi , to Upeks parse , the word ' Bissu ' comes from the word ' Bessi ' or ' Mabessi ' , which means clean or pure .

It refers to a physical condition which is not bissu breasted and do not menstruate . Generally the first bissu are hermaphrodite ( female adam ) , calabai or Kawe - Kawe . Calabai word or acronym of bai sala sala baine because they are transgender , half male and half female character . They are feminine male community . But there is also Bissu women , those who become bissu after experiencing menopause (infertile ) . The only woman in the province Bissu now named Mak Temmi ( Puang Temmi ) lived in Kanaungan - Labakkang , Pangkep .

Meanwhile , in Makkulau ( Disbudpar , 2007) , cultural observer in Pangkep this regard , there is nothing alarming in the teachings and beliefs held by Bissu . " Although their beliefs against tu - riolo Seuwae Gods ' teachings and beliefs , but they are only for the community , they do not distribute or preach as a missionary Islamiyah . Community is only a small community , there were only about 20 people in Pangkep , and fortunately there is the addition bissu in 5 years , " he explained . He said , to be a person bissu it must meet these requirements: heredity ( no grandmother ever be bissu ) , transvestites ( calabai ) , there is a spiritual call ( usually through dreams ) against him , and undergo a period of apprenticeship . The above must be complete , there should not be one of them .
Although there are also Bissu women - those who become infertile after Bissu again ( menopause ) - but it is not dominant , it is rare . Bissu generally depart from the status of transsexuals who get some sort of ' spiritual calling ' to undergo his destiny as Bissu . Bissu leader dubbed ' Puang Matoa ' , while his deputy is called ' Puang Lolo ' . If Bissu glimpse , maybe we will not be fooled because they average - average hard -faced and bearded , but essentially they are graceful .
What distinguishes Bissu with transvestites in general can be seen as they perform dance maggiri . The Bissu it plunged a dagger into several members of his body like the hands , waist , abdomen , or neck , while dancing to music palappasa . They do not Menpan sharp weapon . They are transvestite bugis magic of past civilizations . In the golden age of the kingdom in the Land of Bugis , none of ceremony or engagement session is complete without them . Bissu keepers heirlooms and religious greatness of the kingdom at that time .
Actually it Bissu what 's up? The first question to me when ya Meisya Talk Show . I spontaneously replied that Bissu was similar - similar to Monk , about the role . If Monk is being Bissu Hindu priest was pastor at the time of pre-Islamic Bugis . Before Islam came to South Sulawesi , Makassar Bugis community was already familiar with an animist belief of the Gods called SeuwaE . Simply put , it can be said that it Bissu ' pastor ' past living in the present .
In Sureq Galigo , which is a community of women bissu adam ( hermaphrodite ) widely touted , including its role in the kingdom as well as in the indigenous communities . Bissu also be a liaison man and the Creator, as well as a link the past and the future . At present , bissu virtually become the last bastion of civilization or tradition that protects ancient Bugis .

Among the energy bissu widely used for ritual purposes it is Puang Matoa Zaidi . He is an elder or leader bissu living in communities in Segeri , Pangkep .

Call it a wedding ceremony princess M South Sulawesi Governor Amin Syam some time ago that mentioned one of the traditional wedding procession complete . Not only the governor's daughter , son - daughter wedding other princes , including the descendants of the king , in a number of districts / cities in the province are also involved Zaidi . Moreover , in another custom event like Thanksgiving , vowed , ride home , start rice planting , sowing seeds of fish in ponds , Zaidi also involved .

Not infrequently Zaidi also fly to Jakarta and other cities , every call , especially from people who live outside the Bugis of South Sulawesi , for a similar affair . In addition to the related matter of custom , Zaidi also has advantages treating people and see the future or important events that will happen .

Due to a late - bissu and knowledge , including the understanding of the language torilangi ( divine language ) that is widely available in the script I La Galigo , since 2003-2005 , Zaidi became the only bissu involved in theater around the world , which raised stories of ancient manuscripts Sureq Galigo . Staging , directed by Robert Wilson , one of the world's best theater director , carried around in them to Singapore , Italy , France , Spain , Netherlands , United States .

Still associated with the script I La Galigo , Zaidi was engaged by a number of professors from the University of Hasanuddin to translate part of the manuscript. â € ? ? Because there is no language in the script I La Galigo that simply can not be understood by anyone except by bissu , because it is a divine language or languages ​​torilangi , â € ? ? bissu says birth is December 31, 1963 .

Concern Zaidi at Bugis ancient tradition is not only indicated by the want to get involved and provide input on a number of custom events , but also often toured the district or other place to look for ancient artifacts that he believes is still a legacy of its predecessor and has been around since the time Sawerigading ( central figure in the story I La Galigo ) .

expelled parents

For Zaidi , a bissu not ideals or influence , let alone the bandwagon , but calling and destiny . This call has been felt even Zaidi since he was nine years old . No wonder in the community that is in Pangkep bissu and other areas such as Bone , Luwu , Soppeng , and Wajo , well known Zaidi .

Contemporaries , - Zaidi is the only bissu . Other forces far above or below the Zaidi . Considerable difference is due to the elimination bissu 1980s that led the community to be reduced .

She was very young when interested in being bissu , while we might say is old . At that time we were surprised , because , besides still very small , none of us had ever invited him to come into bissu . If there is an event MAA € ™ bissu or other custom events involving bissu , usually the first one who came . Often we find him playing bissu - bissu 's with her ​​friends . So we wonder , the story of Lolo Puang , vice Puang Matoa in bissu in Pangkep community .

According to Zaidi , so parents know their interests into bissu , they were furious . Every day I was beaten and tortured until my body wounds , swelling , and bleeding . I even several times was rushed to the hospital emergency room due to blow my parents . But strangely it did not turn off my desire to be bissu , he said .

In fact , when parents give you a choice of leg lift home and family ostracized or not be bissu , Zaidi chose to leave home . Not only of the family , the challenges also come from community and religious leaders . Zaidi ended up not only leaving home , but also to leave the village until the situation improves.

Her parents finally willing to accept him back after a community leader and asked him to meet her parents receive Zaidi is. The old man told my parents that one day I would be the important and sought after by important people . He also said that bissu has become my destiny and therefore my parents must sincerely accept what it is , he said .

Now , together with his fellow bissu in Pangkep whose numbers stayed about 10 people , Zaidi continues to maintain custom and civilization Bugis . Zaidi did not lose jemunya taught to anyone , especially bissu - new bissu increasingly dwindling number of days , about customs and policies of its predecessors .



There are still custom order of life is messed up as it is now . Leaders and princes are many who do not act right . Justice is not fair, a lot of rich people who forget the poor and do not care anymore surrounding , natural severely injured . What if the policy or custom and the philosophy of life has always been missing at all . Because of that , I really hope there will be more people willing to explore the culture and customs of our forefathers , he said .
