Cimande "Buhun" or "Wiwitan"

The Sundanese people of West Java, Indonesia are considered to be the oldest race of people on Earth. Indeed, the oldest human remains ever found was on the island of Java, now termed "The Java Man". The Sundanese people's original religion that is said to be at least 15,000 years old is called "Buhun". During the reign of the first Sundanese Kings: King Salaka Nagara in the 1st Century to King Pajajaran in the 17th Century, "Buhun" was the religion of the Sundanese people. Buhun is accepting of all other religions and has elements very similar to most. After the spread of Islam and Buddhism, other off-shoots of Buhun formed in West Java, Central Java and even Bali. The King of Central Java originally came from Sunda, thus Kejawen, which also adds elements of Islam and Buddhism, is a newer adaption of the the original Buhun beliefs. The oldest Cimande practiced in West Java is normally referrd to as "Ulin Sunda". Sometimes it may be called "Cimande Buhun".  The religion practiced in Cimande Tarik Kolot today is called "Jangjawokan" and is a mixture of "Buhun"  and "Islam".
Buhun is based on the "Trinity" called "Tri Tangtu" which is the unity of:

• GUSTI - God, the creator of the universe (whatever you call the higher power)
• NISKALA - All spiritual entities in the universe (used as your energy)
• SEKALA - All physical beings in the universe (humans, animals, trees, etc)

The unity of Gusti, Niskala and Sekala are symbolized by the triangle and are encompassed in every Jurus Jurus  and Lankah practiced in original and traditional Cimande. There are traditional mantras that are used before the training begins that I will give here freely for those students who are interested in the original "Cimande Buhun" or "Ulin Sunda" ways!
*Say this mantra before training to Attract the powers of the universe: TRI TANGTU
BAYU SABDA HEDAP
*Say this mantra before training to Gain the powers of the universe: TRI TANGTU
HURIP KARSA GUSTI HIRUP KERSA ABDI AMPAT KALIMA PANCAR
*You may also use this second mantra for meditation to gain powers from the universe for both martial arts and healing. Recite at least 33x at around midnight just before going to bed and after you wake in the morning.
Another belief that is very prominent in Buhun and popular throughout Java and Bali is the belief in the 4 natural elements and the 4 spiritual brothers or sisters that are a part of every single one of us. These are part of the Niskala aspect in Buhun and are part of the Trinity of Tri Tangtu. They are referred to by either:
AMPAT KALIMA PANCAR AMPAT LANKAH or
MARMARTI KANGKANG KAWAH ADI ARI ARI RASA
This history is the oldest known history in Sunda and does not correlate with the offical history of Cimande and Embah Kahir that is listed below, but it is well known by the Sundanese people and any of the Javanese that practice the Old Style Cimande.
