Abstract

Literature and culture were an inseparable unity because the appearance of literature indeed came from a culture. Culture had a supernatural belief and religious system which each region had a different belief system. However, some regions had thoroughly documented belief system so made easy future generation to learn history or culture that occurred in the past. This was different from the culture of the Dayak Ngaju community, where the form of cultural documentation was still very minimal, so many parts of literature and culture were not exposed to the broader community. The exposure of research results at the international level will certainly add universal references about the culture that can be used as a reference and can be used as a new study in culture and anthropology. The belief of the Dayak Ngaju community tended to be related to pali or abstinence and was also included in the oral tradition of Dayak Ngaju, which almost extinct relating to current development, so only a few modern generations understood this ^pali.^ Based on the results of the study, several abstinences must be obeyed by the Dayak Ngaju community and their effects if they violated this abstinence, such as abstinence of sewing at night, abstinence of bathing at night, abstinence of selling oil at night, abstinence of throwing kobokan water in front of the house, and other. Abstinence was not only prohibited but also contained educational values &#8203-&#8203-behind the implied meaning.
