Ukungcola nomlilo ku-Zoroastrianism
Ubuhle nobumsulwa kuhlobene kakhulu neZoroastrianism (njengoba kunjalo kwezinye izinkolo eziningi), futhi ubumsulwa buvela ngaphambili kusiko leZoroastrian. Kunezimpawu ezahlukahlukene lapho umyalezo wokumsulwa udluliswa khona, ikakhulukazi:
Umlilo
amanzi
IHaoma (isitshalo esithile esivame ukuhlotshaniswa ne-ephedra namuhla)
I-Nirang (umchamo wenkunzi onikezelwe)
Ubisi noma ibhotela elicacisiwe (Ibhotela elicacisiwe)
Ifasitelana
Umlilo uwuphawu oluyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu futhi oluvame ukusetshenziswa. Ngenkathi i-Ahura Mazda ngokuvamile ibonwa njengonkulunkulu ongenampilo futhi enamandla emvelo yokomoya kunobukhona bomzimba, kwesinye isikhathi iye yalinganiswa nelanga futhi ngokuqinisekile izithombe ezihambisana nayo zihlala zithambekele kakhulu emlilweni. I-Ahura Mazda ingukukhanya kokukhanya okuxosha ubumnyama bezinxushunxushu. Ungumthengi wokuphila, njengoba nje ilanga liletha impilo emhlabeni.
Umlilo ubalulekile naku-Zoroastrian eschatology lapho yonke imiphefumulo izothelwa ngomlilo kanye nensimbi encibilikisiwe ukuze uyihlanze ebubini. Imiphefumulo emihle izodlula ingalimali, kuyilapho imiphefumulo yabakhohlakele izoshiswa usizi.
Amathempeli omlilo
Onke amathempeli endabuko aseZoroastrian, abizwa nangokuthi ama-agiari noma "izindawo zomlilo", afaka umlilo ongcwele ukumela ubuhle nobumsulwa okufanele wonke umuntu awulwele. Lapho esegcweliswe kahle, umlilo wethempeli akufanele ucishwe, yize ungahanjiswa kwenye indawo uma kudingeka.
Gcina imililo ihlanzekile
Ngenkathi umlilo uhlanza, noma ngabe ungcwelisiwe, imililo engcwele ayigcineki ekungcolisweni futhi abapristi baseZoroastrian bathatha izinyathelo eziningi zokuqapha leso senzo. Lapho ulambisa umlilo, indwangu eyaziwa ngokuthi yi-padan igqokwa ngaphezulu komlomo nekhala ukuze ukuphefumula namathe kungangcolisi umlilo. Lokhu kukhombisa umbono wamathe afana nezinkolelo zamaHindu, ahlanganyela imvelaphi ethile yomlando neZoroastrianism, lapho amathe angavunyelwe ukuthinta izitsha zokudla ngenxa yezakhiwo zawo ezingcolile.
Amathempeli amaningi aseZoroastrian, ikakhulukazi amaNdiya, awavumeli ngisho nabangewona amaZoroastrian, noma amajaji, ukuba bangene emingceleni yabo. Noma ngabe laba bantu belandela inqubo evamile yokuhlala bemsulwa, ukuba khona kwabo kubhekwa njengonakele ngokomoya ukungena ngethempeli lomlilo. Igumbi eliqukethe umlilo ongcwele, owaziwa ngeDar-I-Mihr noma i- "Mithras portico", livame ukuhlehliswa ngendlela yokuthi labo abangaphandle kwethempeli bengeke balibone.
Ukusetshenziswa komlilo emasikweni
Umlilo ufakwa emasikweni amaningi aseZoroastrian. Abesifazane abakhulelwe bakhanyisa imililo noma amalambu njengendlela yokuvikela. Izithambisi zivame ukuxhaswa yibhotela elicacisiwe - enye into yokuzihlanza - nazo zikhanyiswa njengengxenye yomkhosi wokuqalwa kwe-navjote.
Ukungaqondi kwabantu baseZoroaster njengabakhulekeli bomlilo
Kwesinye isikhathi amaZoroastrian kucatshangwa ukuthi athanda umlilo. Umlilo uhlonishwa njenge-ejenti enkulu yokuzihlanza futhi njengophawu lwamandla ka-Ahura Mazda, kepha akukhonzwa noma kungakholelwa ukuthi u-Ahura Mazda uqobo. Ngokunjalo, amaKatolika awakhulekeli amanzi angcwele, yize eqonda ukuthi inezinto ezingokomoya, kanti namaKhristu jikelele awasikhonzi isiphambano, yize uphawu luhlonishwa kabanzi futhi luthathwa njengommeleli womhlatshelo kaKristu.
