Indima yokucula kuBuddha
Xa usiya kwitempile kaBuddha, ungadibana nabantu abaculayo. Zonke izikolo zobuBuddhist ziyicule into ethile, nangona umxholo weengoma wahluka kakhulu. Ukuziqhelanisa kunokwenza ukuba abafikayo bangakhululeki. Sinokuvela kwisiko lenkolo apho isicatshulwa esisezantsi sicatshulwa okanye siculwa xa kunqulwa, kodwa asisoloko sicula. Ngaphaya koko, eNtshona uninzi lwethu luye lwacinga ukuba ilize njengento engekhoyo yexesha elidlulileyo, eneenkolelo ngakumbi.
Ukuba ubona inkonzo yokucula yamaBuddha, unokubona abantu bequbuda okanye bedlala igong kunye nemigqomo. Ababingeleli banokwenza iminikelo yesiqhumiso, ukutya kunye neentyatyambo kwisibalo. Ukucula kunokuba ngolwimi lwasemzini, nokuba wonke umntu okhoyo uthetha isiNgesi. Oku kunokubonakala kumangalisa kakhulu ukuba uyazi ukuba uBuddha sisiko senkolo esingengokwenkolo. Inkonzo yokucula inokubonakala ngathi ingumnqantsa njengobuninzi bamaKatolika ngaphandle kokuba uyakuqonda oko.
Amaculo kunye nokukhanya
Nangona kunjalo, nje ukuba uyiqonde into eyenzekayo, yiza ubone ukuba iiturgi zeBuddhist azenzelwanga ukunqula uthixo kodwa zisinceda siqonde ukukhanya. KwiBuddhism, ukukhanyiselwa (bodhi) kuchazwa njengokuvuka kukreqo lomntu, ngakumbi ubuqhetseba be-ego kunye nokuzimela ngokwahlukileyo. Olu vuko ayilulo ubukrelekrele, kodwa endaweni yoko lutshintsho kwindlela esiba namava ngayo kwaye sibona ngayo.
Ukucula yindlela yokuhlakulela ulwazi, isixhobo sokukunceda uvuke.
Iindidi zeebhulukhwe zeBuddhist
Kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zezicatshulwa eziculwa njengenxalenye yeelitha zamaBuddhist. Nazi ezimbalwa:
Ukumemeza kunokuba yiyo yonke okanye inxalenye ye-sutra (ebizwa ngokuba yi-sutta). I-sutra yintshumayelo kaBuddha okanye omnye wabafundi bakaBuddha. Nangona kunjalo, inani elikhulu lamaMahayana Buddhism sutras abhalwa emva kobomi bukaBuddha. (Jonga kwakhona "iZibhalo zamaBhuda: Amagqabantshintshi" ngolwazi oluthe kratya.)
Ukucula kungangumdlalo obizwa ngokuba yi-mantra, ulandelelwano olufutshane lwamagama okanye iisilabhasi, ezihlala ziculwa rhoqo, ekukholelwa ukuba zinamandla okuguqula. Umzekelo we-mantra yi-om mani padme hum, edibene neBudetan Buddhism. Ukucula i-mantra ngokuqonda kunokuba yindlela yokucamngca.
Idharani yinto efana nemantra, nangona ihlala inde. I-Dharani kuthiwa iqulethe umxholo wemfundiso, kwaye ukuphindaphinda kweDharani kunokuvusa amandla aluncedo, njengokukhusela okanye ukuphilisa. Ukumemeza idharani nako kuchaphazela ingqondo yomculi. I-Dharani zihlala ziculwa ngesiSanskrit (okanye kuqikelelo lwendlela iSanskrit evakala ngayo). Ngamanye amaxesha amalungu anentsingiselo ethile; sisandi esibalulekileyo.
Igatha yivesi emfutshane ukuba icule, icule okanye icengceleze. ENtshona, ii-gathas zihlala ziguqulelwa kulwimi lweemvumi. Ngokungafaniyo mantras kunye dharans, into ezithethwa gathas zibaluleke ngakumbi kunokuba zibonakala.
Ezinye iingoma zahlukile kwizikolo ezithile zobuBuddha. UNianfo (waseTshayina) okanye uNembutsu (waseJapan) ngumkhuba wokucula igama likaBuddha iAmitabha, isenzo esifunyanwa kuphela kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo zeBuddhism yoMhlaba eyiPure. I-Nichiren Buddhism inxulunyaniswa neDaimoku, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, ebonisa ukholo kwiLotus Sutra. AmaNichiren Buddhist nawo acula uGongyo, enziwe ngamaphepha avela kwiLotus Sutra, njengenxalenye yemithetho yabo yemihla ngemihla.
Indlela yokucula
Ukuba umtsha kubuBhuda, elona cebiso lililo kukumamela ngononophelo kwinto eyenziwa ngumntu wonke kwaye uyenze. Beka ilizwi lakho ngokudibeneyo kunye nezinye iimvumi (akukho qela lidibene ngokupheleleyo), khuphela ivolumu yabantu abakungqongileyo kwaye uqale ukucula.
Ukucula njengenxalenye yenkonzo yeqela yinto eniyenzayo nonke kunye, ngenxa yoko musani ukumamela nje ukuculwa kwento yenu. Mamela wonke umntu ngaxeshanye. Yiba yinxalenye yelizwi elinye elikhulu.
Uya kunikwa umbhalo obhaliweyo we-chanting liturgy, ngamagama angaphandle kwinguqulelo yesiNgesi. (Ukuba akwenzi njalo, mamela uze uqonde.) Phatha incwadi yakho yamachule ngembeko. Nika ingqalelo indlela abanye abazigcina ngayo iincwadi zabo zokucula kwaye uzame ukuzikopa.
Inguqulelo okanye ulwimi lwantlandlolo?
Njengoko ubuBhuda buhamba buye ngasentshona, ezinye iilokishi zesiko ziculwa ngesiNgesi okanye ezinye iilwimi zaseYurophu. Kodwa ungafumanisa ukuba isixa esikhulu soncedo lwesilwimi sisaculwa ngolwimi lwase-Asiya, nditsho nabantu baseNtshona baseAsia abangathethi ulwimi lwaseAsia. Ngoba?
Kwiimantras kunye nee-dharans, isandi sokucula sibaluleke kakhulu, ngamanye amaxesha sibaluleke ngakumbi kuneentsingiselo. Kwezinye izithethe, izandi kuthiwa zibonisa ubunyani bokwenyani. Ukuba zikhethwe ngononophelo olukhulu kunye nokwazisa, i-mantras kunye ne-dharans ingaba liqela elinamandla lokucamngca.
Ii-sutras ngomnye umba, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha umbuzo wokuba uyacula okanye awuculi uguqulelo uvusa imbambano. Ukucula i-sutra kulwimi lwethu kusinceda ukuba siyenze ngaphakathi imfundiso yayo ngendlela yokufunda okungenako. Kodwa amanye amaqela akhetha ukusebenzisa iilwimi zaseAsia, ngokuyinxenye ukwenza isandi kwaye ngokuyinxenye ukugcina ubudlelwane kunye nabazalwana noodade baseDharma kwihlabathi liphela.
Ukuba ukucula kubonakala kungabalulekanga kuwe ekuqaleni, gcina ingqondo evulekileyo kwiminyango enokuvula. Uninzi lwabafundi kunye nootitshala abaphezulu bathi eyona nto bayifumanayo iyadika kwaye ibubudenge xa beqala ukuziqhelanisa nayo yeyona nto ibangele ukuba bavuke.
