Nunua kutoka kwa QuakerBooks<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n

Kuna baadhi ya vitabu ambavyo mtu anaweza kuvihakiki, kana kwamba, kwa mbali, akitoa maoni yake kuhusu mtindo, maudhui, mpangilio wa nyenzo, na usahihi wa maudhui. Nilisoma kitabu cha David Johnson, A Quaker Prayer Life<\/g> , mwanzoni kwa faida yangu mwenyewe na baadaye tu niliulizwa ikiwa naweza kukipitia. Tathmini hii kwa namna fulani ni matunda ya ushiriki wangu, mazungumzo yangu na mwandishi kupitia maneno yake yaliyoandikwa. <\/p>\n

Shida yangu ya kwanza ilikuwa kwa nini alitumia neno ”sala” katika kichwa. Ningechagua ”ibada” au ”maombi.” Kijadi, Quakers hawajatumia maombi yaliyowekwa, kwa hivyo kichwa kinaweza kuwapotosha watu wengine. Hata hivyo, katika utangulizi, Johnson anatuelekeza kwenye njia yake ya kufikiri: \u201cSala ni chaguo la uangalifu la kumtafuta Mungu\u201d; inatokana na ”maisha ya kuendelea kwa usikivu wa kila siku”; inakuwa \u201czoea la kungoja kwa subira kimyakimya.\u201d Kwa hiyo kitabu hicho hakihusu maombi ya Waquaker bali ni maisha ya usikivu. Kwa njia hii, inanikumbusha Agano la Ibada<\/g> la Thomas Kelly na uwazi wake, mwongozo wake murua, wingi wa manukuu yake kutoka (hasa) Marafiki wa mapema, na marejeleo yake kwa mazoea mengine ya kiroho ya Kikristo na Mashariki. Kuna muhtasari bora wenye nyongeza (”mbinu ambazo wengine wamepata kuwa za manufaa”), ambazo husomeka kama wazo la baadaye lakini labda lingejumuishwa katika sehemu kuu ya maandishi. <\/p>\n

Mwandishi anafahamu vyema uelewa mbalimbali wa Uungu kati ya Marafiki. Pia anarejelea jinsi ufahamu wa kisaikolojia wa hivi majuzi zaidi umechangia kwa Quaker kufikiria juu ya uhusiano wa kibinafsi na Uungu. Sina hakika kuwa mada hii imechukuliwa kikamilifu (je, mtu hujaribu kuondokana na nafsi yake au kuivuka?), Lakini katika kurasa za 67 za maandishi, mtu hawezi kuomba uchambuzi mwingi, hasa kwa vile msisitizo ni wa vitendo: ninajifunzaje uvumilivu; ninawezaje kukabiliana na hisia ya kushindwa, au giza; ninangojeaje wakati kidogo inaonekana kutokea? <\/p>\n

Maswali haya yalizungumza sana na hali yangu. Nimehudhuria mikutano ya ibada kwa majuma mengi kwa karibu miaka 40. Nimesoma maandiko ya Quaker kwa kipindi hicho hicho. Nimezungumza juu ya habari ya ibada ya Quaker kwa miaka mingi pia, lakini kitabu hiki kidogo kinanizeesha katika maana bora zaidi. Bado ninaweza kukaa kwenye mkutano na kujiuliza ninafanya nini hapa duniani. Bado najiuliza kama kuna chochote hapo. Ndiyo, nakumbushwa katika kitabu hiki kwamba hatupo hapo kufikiria; hatupo ili kuhudumu; hatupo kwa ajili ya kuwa na mafunuo makubwa. Tuko pale ili kuwa pale kikamilifu, kuwepo katika Uwepo, ambayo ina maana ya kujiweka wenyewe mbele ya Mungu au Roho, ambaye kimsingi hana jina. <\/p>\n

Kwamba mwandishi anatumia mawazo ya awali ya Quaker na Buddha inaonyesha kwamba uhusiano kati ya nafsi na Mwingine ni wa utata, na kwamba hakuna aina ya maneno inayopata uhusiano huo. Wakati mwingine nilihisi kwamba Johnson alikuwa akisisitiza kipengele cha uungu kipitacho maumbile, ilhali ningesisitiza yale yasiyokuwa ya kawaida, lakini changamoto halisi iko mahali pengine: je, tunawezaje kuwa hapo kikamilifu? au hapa kabisa? Kiakili tunajua jibu: tunapaswa kuhudhuria, kusubiri, kukua, kwa upole kuweka kando mawazo ya nje; hatupaswi kujihukumu wenyewe, bali kukubali kipimo cha ukweli na nuru tunayopewa. Baada ya karibu miaka 40, Quaker huyu bado anaona kweli hizi rahisi kuwa ngumu kufuata. Inaweza kuogopesha kukabili utupu wa nafsi usio na jina na kutambua kwamba baadhi ya mihimili inayotolewa na dini nyinginezo\u2014kalenda za siku takatifu, washauri wa makasisi, muziki, maombi yaliyowekwa\u2014pamoja na kwamba si bila thamani, katika tukio la mwisho sio kile kinachotuleta kwenye Uwepo. <\/p>\n

Mwishoni mwa siku, baada ya miaka 20 kama katibu wa uhamasishaji wa Mkutano wa Mwaka wa Uingereza, akifanya kazi na wageni na wahudhuriaji, naweza kusema tu kuna wakati ambapo mtu anatambua kwamba yuko mahali ambapo amekusudiwa kuwa, nyakati zisizoeleweka ambapo maneno na mawazo yanapita kwa kweli. Onjeni muone\u2014wala msiogope. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1162,"featured_media":3081962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[9920],"fpb_issue_category":[10179],"class_list":["post-3128338","fpb_book","type-fpb_book","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mapitio-ya-kitabu-cha-quaker","fpb_issue_category-juni-julai-2014-dhana-za-mungu"],"yoast_head":"\nMaisha ya Maombi ya Quaker - Friends Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.friendsjournal.org\/sw\/book\/maisha-ya-maombi-ya-quaker\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sw_KE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Maisha ya Maombi ya Quaker - Friends Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Na David Johnson.
