With this philosophy, Batak society in Yogyakarta has weaved a religious harmony through traditional ceremonies, punguan and social organization. Harmony in a traditional ceremony creates communal work and helps each other. As well as in a punguan events where happened a situation that every people advise, pray, and help each other without a boundary. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and literature review.
