Yintoni iSwayambhunath?
Wayenokwenza njani ukuba abe nomdla kwiifologists kunye nososayensi njengobungqina bokuqhagamshelana nempucuko yasemaphandleni: I-Hill iyiseKammandu, inkulu yeNepal. Kwiminyaka eyi-200 eyiyadlulayo kule ndawo kwakukho ichibi elincinci, apho kwakukho isiqithi esinye semhlaba. Oku kwaziwa kubo bonke abahlali: izithethe zabo zigcina ibali leSwayambhunath, ngoko ke indawo yedwa yinqaba phakathi kwamanzi.
Ngelinye ilanga intaba ya tyelelwa nguBuddha, ngokuchanekileyo, ukuzalwa kwakhe ngendlela yokutshiswa komlilo eboshwe emdakeni. Kamva, wazikhulula kuyo, kodwa malunga ne-stupa kwakukho iidonta zeTibetan nezikolo ze-monastic. Wonke umntu wayefuna ukuba sisondele kunokwenzeka kwi-stupa: nanamhlanje, izihlwele zabantu abahambahambayo baya kuye imihla ngemihla, banqobe umgangatho ngamanqanaba angama-365-ngokutsho kwenani leentsuku ngonyaka.
I-Swayambhunath yanamhlanje iyindawo yethempiliti yaseBuddhist, inqabileyo ngaphezu kwesixeko. Kwinqanaba le-stupa ephambili i-Vajra, izixhobo zasendulo zonqulo. Yile nto eyakhokelela ekuqaliseni kokuqala ukuba iSwayambhunath ayikho enye into yenkcubeko kunye yokomoya kwimephu yehlabathi.
Ngaba izixhobo zangempela zoothixo zityhila njani ukuba ngabaphambukeli?
I-Vajra iyisixhobo esiyingqungquthela, esidlulileyo esacatshulwa njengento enye efanayo yeendlovu njengeembadada zeHermes okanye i-apple kaHelen the Beautiful. Akuzange kudalwe ngezandla zabantu: nawuphi na umonki waseBuddha uya kugqiba ukuba uTwashtar kuphela unelungelo lokwenza, ukudibanisa amathambo endiza uDadichi enezinyithi. U-Vajra wasetyenziswe nguoothixo ba-Indra ekulweni namadimoni - kwaye nguye owamncedayo ekulweni kwemfazwe. Kodwa wayenjani na entabeni yaseSwayambhunath?
Akukho mntu uyayazi impendulo yalo mbuzo. Kanye nombuzo othi ngubani obone ubungqina be-stupa engamawaka amabini amawaka edlulileyo. I-stupa ifakwe njenge-rocket space, ngoko kunzima ukungaqiniseki ukuba inokuba yinxalenye yomkhumbi. I-vajra elele ecaleni kwayo ibukeka njengento eyenziwe ngengozi ephoswe nguothixo basemzini.
Le ntonga eneentonga ezimbini isebenza ngokufanayo njengesimboli sokuqala kwamadoda kunye nabesifazane. Ekuguquleleni ukusuka kwi-Sanskrit vajra kuthetha "idayimane" - kwaye izazinzulu zanamhlanje ziyazi ukuba kutheni leli gama lonyulwa. I-Vajra inokunqunyulwa nayiphi na isinyithi, kungakhathaliseki ukuba yomelele kangakanani. Le ngenye ingxabano ebonisa ukuba i-vajra yayingeke ibe yenziwe ngabantu. Iincwadi zakudala zithi kwakunokwenzeka ukunqumla iintaba nokutshabalalisa iidolophu, ukubulala abanye oothixo - ngaphandle kokuba i-vajra inako ukuthatha unkulunkulu ophilileyo.
UVajra kufuphi ne-stupa uSwayambhunath wazama ukufudukela kwenye indawo kwikhulu le-17 ngomyalelo weNkosi yaseNepal iPratap Mell. Kodwa akazange akwazi ukufuduka. Abadala basekuhlaleni bayalumkisa ukumkani: basitshilo ukuba isiganeko sidluliselwa kwisinye isizukulwana siya kwesinye malunga nendlela olunye oothixo basemzini abaya kubuyela ngayo kwaye bafuna ukuthatha izixhobo zabo ezimangalisayo, ngoko akukho mntu kufuneka akuthinte. Kodwa ngaba uluntu lukulungele intlanganiso enjalo?
