Udindo woyimba ku Buddhism
Mukapita kukachisi wa Buddhist, mumatha kukumana ndi anthu omwe amayimba. Masukulu onse achi Buddha aimba nyimbo zina, ngakhale nyimbo zomwe zimasiyana zimasiyana kwambiri. Kuyeserera kumapangitsa kuti obwera kumene asakhale omasuka. Titha kuchokera ku mwambo wachipembedzo pomwe mawu wamba amawimbidwa kapena kupembedzedwa, koma nthawi zambiri sitimayimba. Kuphatikiza apo, kumadzulo ambiri aife taganizapo za machiritso monga gawo lazinthu zakale, lokhulupirira zamatsenga.
Ngati muwona ntchito yodziyimbira ya Buddha, mutha kuwona anthu akuwerama kapena kusewera gong ndi ng’oma. Ansembe amatha kupereka zofukiza, chakudya ndi maluwa kwa chithunzi pa guwa. Kuyimba kumatha kukhala mu chilankhulo chakunja, ngakhale wina aliyense amene amalankhula Chingerezi. Izi zitha kuwoneka zachilendo kwambiri ngati mukudziwa kuti Buddhism ndi chipembedzo chomwe sichiri chachipembedzo. Ntchito yoyimba ikhoza kumawoneka ngati yachikunja pokhapokha mutamvetsetsa za mchitidwewu.
Nyimbo ndi kuyatsa
Komabe, mukamvetsetsa zomwe zikuchitika, bwerani mudzawone kuti malo ogulitsa Mabuda sapangidwa kuti azilambira mulungu koma kuti atithandizire kukwaniritsidwa. Mu Buddha, kuwunikira (bodhi) kumatanthauzidwa kuti kudzuka ku mabodza a munthu, makamaka zabodza za mdierekezi ndi kudzipatula. Kudzutsidwa kumeneku sikuli kwanzeru, koma kusintha momwe timazindikira komanso kuzindikira.
Kuyimba ndi njira yolitsira kuzindikira, chida chothandizira kukudzutsani.
Mitundu yamayendedwe Achibuda
Pali mitundu ingapo ya malembedwe omwe amayimbidwa ngati gawo la mabulogu Achibuda. Nawa ochepa:
Kuimba kumatha kukhala zonse kapena gawo la sutra (lotchedwanso sutta). Sutra ndi ulaliki wochokera kwa Buddha kapena m'modzi wa ophunzira a Buddha. Komabe, ambiri a sutras ochokera ku Mahayana Buddhism adapangidwa pambuyo pa moyo wa Buddha. (Wonaninso "Malembo Achibuda: chithunzithunzi" kuti mumve zambiri.)
Kuimbira nyimbo kumatha kukhala mawu, mawu angapo kapena masanjidwe angapo, omwe nthawi zambiri amaimbidwa mobwerezabwereza, omwe amakhulupirira kuti ali ndi mphamvu yosintha. Chitsanzo cha mandra ndi om mani padme hum, omwe amaphatikizidwa ndi Buddhism waku Tibet. Kuimba mawu ovomerezeka ndi chidziwitso kumatha kukhala njira yosinkhasinkha.
A dharani ndi chinthu ngati zovala, ngakhale nthawi zambiri chimakhala chachitali. A Dharani akuti ali ndi tanthauzo la chiphunzitso, ndipo kubwereza mawu kwa Dharani kumatha kupangitsa mphamvu yopindulitsa, monga kuteteza kapena kuchiritsa. Kuimba dharani kumakhudzanso mochenjera malingaliro a woimbayo. Ma Dharans nthawi zambiri amaimbidwa mu Sanskrit (kapena motengera momwe Sanskrit imamvekera). Nthawi zina silaba samakhala ndi tanthauzo lenileni; ndiye mawu ofunikira.
Gatha ndi vesi lalifupi kuyimba, kuyimba kapena kunena. Ku West, gathas nthawi zambiri amasuliridwa mu chilankhulo cha oyimba. Mosiyana ndi mawu omveka ndi ma dharans, zomwe ma gathas akunena ndizofunikira kuposa momwe amawonekera.
Nyimbo zina zimangopita kusukulu za Buddha zokha. Nianfo (Wachinese) kapena Nembutsu (wa ku Japan) ndichizolowezi chotchula dzina la Buddha Amitabha, machitidwe omwe amapezeka mwa mitundu yosiyana yokha ya Buddhism ya Pure Land. Buddhism ya Nichiren imagwirizanitsidwa ndi Daimoku, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, komwe ndi kuwonetsa chikhulupiriro kwa a Lotus Sutra. Achi Buddha a Nichiren amaimbanso nyimbo za Gongyo, zomwe zimakhala ndi ma Lotus Sutra, monga gawo lamaphunziro awo a tsiku ndi tsiku.
Momwe mungayimbe
Ngati simukudziwa Buddhism, upangiri wabwino ndikumvetsera mosamala pazomwe wina aliyense akuchita ndikuzichita. Ikani mawu anu mogwirizana ndi oimba ena ambiri (palibe gulu lomwe limagwirizana), koperani kuchuluka kwa anthu okuzungulirani ndikuyamba kuimba.
Kuyimba ngati gawo limodzi la gulu ndi chinthu chomwe nonse mukuchita limodzi, kotero musangomvera nyimbo zodziimba nokha. Mverani aliyense nthawi imodzi. Khalani gawo la liwu limodzi lalikulu.
Muyenera kupatsidwa zolemba zolembera nyimbo zoyimbidwa, ndi mawu achilendo mu kumasulira kwachingerezi. (Ngati sichoncho, mverani mpaka mutazindikira.) Chitirani ulemu buku lanu la nyimbo. Samalani ndi momwe ena amasungira mabuku awo oyimba ndikuyesera kuwatengera.
Kutanthauzira kapena chilankhulo choyambirira?
Pamene Buddha amayenda chakumadzulo, ena mwa malo ogulitsa zachikhalidwe amaimbidwa mu Chingerezi kapena zinenedwe zina za ku Europe. Koma mungaone kuti kuchuluka kwatsiku kumayimbidwabe mchilankhulo cha Asia, ngakhale akunja ochokera kumayiko ena aku Asia omwe salankhula chilankhulo cha Asia. Chifukwa?
Kwa mawu ophatikizira ndi ma dara, mawu oyimba amangofunikira, nthawi zina amafunikira tanthauzo. M'miyambo ina, mawu amveka kuti ndi mawonekedwe a zenizeni zenizeni. Ngati singayimbidwe mwachidwi kwambiri komanso mwakuzindikira, mawu opatsirana ndi ma dharans amatha kukhala gulu lamphamvu losinkhasinkha.
Ma sutras ndi funso linanso, ndipo nthawi zina funso loti ayimbe kumasulira kapena ayi amayambitsa mikangano. Kuimba nyimbo mu chilankhulo chathu kumatithandiza kuti tiziphunzitsa m'njira yosavuta kuwerenga. Koma magulu ena amakonda kugwiritsa ntchito zilankhulo zaku Asia, mwanjira zina zomveka komanso mbali ina pakusungabe mgwirizano ndi abale ndi alongo a Dharma padziko lonse lapansi.
Ngati kuimba kumawoneka ngati kofunika kwa inu poyamba, khalani ndi malingaliro otseguka kukhomo lomwe lingatseguke. Ophunzira ambiri ophunzira komanso aphunzitsi akuti zomwe adapeza ndizosasangalatsa komanso zopusa pomwe adayamba kuchita zomwe ndizomwe zidawonjezera chidwi chawo choyamba.
