Abstract

The existence of the Meompalo Karelae manuscript in the process of cultivating rice fields by the Bugis community in South Sulawesi, is currently a rare activity and the lack of attention from the perpetrators of the tradition itself is classified as very concerning. The results showed that the reading ceremony of Sure’ Meompalo Karellae was carried out by starting the stages of the ceremony, namely starting the preparation stage, the ceremony preparation stage, the time of the ceremony, the venue for the ceremony, the parties involved in the ceremony, the ceremony’s preparations and equipment, as well as the taboos in the ceremony. There are three ritual stages in the reading of Meompalo Karellaѐ’s manuscript, namely Mappalili, Maddoja Bine, and Mappadendang. On the other hand, sure’ contains stories or myths, both regarding the origin of the arrival of humans descended from the gods of the heavens and earth as well as regarding the origin of the appearance of the Goddess of Rice called Sangiangserri. The reading of the sure’ Meompalo now continues for one night until dawn breaks on the eastern horizon. After that, the sanro began to lead the next ceremony, namely the mangampo (sowing seeds) ceremony on the seeding field. The functions of the script reading ritual in the story of Meompalo Karellae in Bugis society are categorized into religious functions, social functions, educational functions, economic functions, educative functions, and cultural functions.
