Abstract
The Me ro’ tradition is an old tradition of Tana Toraja which was once carried out thoroughly by the Tana Toraja community and is now rarely carried out. One of the areas that still carry out this tradition is the Simbuang Village. This tradition required people not to eat rice as long as the deceased person in the bereaved has not been buried. For the Toraja people, rice is considered a valuable plant brought down from heaven by the ancestors. With an Ethnographic approach, concluding that Me ro’ is not simple tradition. For the people of Simbuang village, implementing Me ro’ requires a high motivation of thought or motivation towards achieving the goals. The Me ro’ tradition is likely to be done well if encouragement and self-management exist. It all depends on the human mind; the mind has a very decisive power to determine the path of human life itself Keywords: Me ro’, Tana Toraja, Simbuang Village, self-management, deceased
