The Balinese Hindu marks the new year with Nyepi Day, or silent day. A 24hr of meditation, where everyone on the island is mandated to stay in their homes, not turn on light, and simply meditate.
It is believed that when we "play dead", evil spirits will be tricked into believing that the island is empty, therefore... he will leave.
This is my 11th Nyepi and I've never wished for the Bhuta Kala to be gone as hard as I am praying today.
