K<\/span> ifuatayo hadithi ya ucheshi kutoka kwa mapokeo ya Kibuddha inapendekeza kwamba sio mazoea yote ya kiroho yanatokana na mwongozo wa kimungu au ufahamu.<\/p>\n

Mwalimu wa kiroho wa Zen na wanafunzi wake walipoanza kutafakari jioni, paka aliyeishi katika nyumba ya watawa alipiga kelele sana hivi kwamba iliwakengeusha. Kwa hiyo mwalimu aliamuru kwamba paka afungwe wakati wa mazoezi ya jioni. Mwaka mmoja au zaidi baadaye, mwalimu alikufa, lakini wanafunzi waliendelea na zoea la kumfunga paka wakati wa vipindi vya kutafakari. Na paka hatimaye ilipokufa, paka mwingine aliletwa kwenye nyumba ya watawa na kufungwa. <\/p>\n

Karne nyingi baadaye, wazao wa elimu wa mwalimu wa kiroho waliandika maandishi ya kitaalamu kuhusu umuhimu wa kidini wa kumfunga paka kwa mazoezi ya kutafakari.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hadithi hii inaeleza ukweli wa kina kuhusu wafuasi wa dini kuwa wamechanganyikiwa katika mambo madogo madogo, na kuyapa mazoea fulani umuhimu ambao haukusudiwa kamwe na mwanzilishi.<\/p>\n

Mwalimu anayeanza kumfunga paka hufanya hivyo kwa sababu mahususi kwa hali hiyo\u2014yaani, kucheza kwa paka ni kelele na kutatiza kutafakari kwa watawa. Hata mwaka mmoja baadaye wakati mwalimu anakufa, paka bado ni mchanga vya kutosha kuwa rambunctious, kwa hiyo watawa wanaendelea kumfunga. Kufikia wakati paka inazeeka na kufa, sema miaka 15 baadaye, watawa wakubwa wanaonekana kuwa wamesahau kwa nini walimfunga paka hapo kwanza, lakini wanamhusisha na mwalimu wao; wanafunzi wapya wanajua tu kwamba ndivyo mambo yamekuwa yakifanywa kila mara kwenye makao ya watawa. Na kutafakari haionekani kuwa sawa isipokuwa kama wana paka amefungwa mahali fulani, kwa hiyo wanaleta mpya ili kuendeleza mila. <\/p>\n

Kwa sababu kumfunga paka hakuna umuhimu wa kweli zaidi ya kumzuia paka fulani asisumbue kutafakari, mwalimu huwa haandiki wala kufundisha chochote kuhusu kumfunga paka, hivyo mazoezi hupata aina fulani ya fumbo na huchukua umuhimu ambao haukusudiwa kamwe na mwanzilishi wake. Baada ya karne chache, ”wazao waliojifunza wa mwalimu wa kiroho” huandika maandishi ya kitaalamu kuhusu umuhimu wa kidini wa kumfunga paka kwa mazoezi ya kutafakari. <\/p>\n

Ibada yetu inafanana kidogo na ile ya Marafiki wa asili. Tunayo mafundisho ya awali na mifano, lakini pia tuna paka kadhaa zilizofungwa. <\/p><\/div>\n

Hebu<\/span> tutumie hadithi hii rahisi kwa mazoezi ya ibada ya Quaker. Katika Uingereza ya karne ya kumi na saba, Friends walikutana kimya kimya bila waziri aliyeajiriwa kwa sababu maalum; kwa jambo moja, walikuwa wakipinga uhusiano wa kushikana mikono kati ya serikali ya Kiingereza na makasisi. Kukutana kimyakimya bila kasisi rasmi, au \u201cmhudumu wa kuajiriwa,\u201d ilikuwa njia ya kukwepa mfumo mbovu na kwenda moja kwa moja kwenye Chanzo chenyewe. Katika demokrasia ya karne ya ishirini na moja, uangalifu unachukuliwa kuweka kanisa na serikali tofauti, kwa hivyo mhudumu ha\u2014hawezi\u2014kuwakilisha serikali. Kusudi la awali la kuwa na ibada bila wahudumu walioajiriwa ni kama kusudi la awali la kuwa na paka mkorofi amefungwa: kushughulikia hali fulani ambayo haipo tena. <\/p>\n

Wakati wa Marafiki wa mapema, wanaume tu ambao walisoma Oxford au Cambridge wanaweza kuwa wahudumu. George Fox alifundisha kwamba kila mtu ana uwezo sawa wa kupata Roho Mtakatifu: hakuna aliye na zaidi ya mtu mwingine yeyote, na haikuwa lazima kuhudhuria chuo kikuu ili kupata Uungu. Mikutano ya Marafiki wa Awali ilishughulikia hali hii mahususi: nia ya kuonyesha hakukuwa na haja ya kufuata mpango uliowekwa na mhitimu wa seminari au liturujia ya kanisa. Badala yake, ibada ilipaswa \u201ckupangwa\u201d na Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye angeweza na kumtumia yeyote kama wahudumu, hata wanawake, hata watoto, hata watumishi! (Mikutano mingi ya Marafiki iliyopangwa leo, hata hivyo, inapendelea kuajiri wahitimu wa seminari, hata wa madhehebu mengine.) <\/p>\n

Miongoni mwa Marafiki wa kisasa\u2014waliopangwa na wasio na programu\u2014ibada yetu inafanana kidogo na ile ya Marafiki wa awali. Tunayo mafundisho ya awali na mifano, lakini pia tuna paka kadhaa zilizofungwa. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Labda<\/span> tofauti kubwa zaidi katika mikutano yetu ya ibada ni suala la umoja wa kitheolojia. Marafiki wa Mapema wote waliamini katika Chanzo kimoja (Mungu) nao walitumia msamiati uleule kuzungumzia jambo hilo\u2014mfano wa Kikristo na msamiati kutoka katika Maandiko, huku wakikubali kwamba imani nyingine huzungumza katika lugha tofauti kuhusu Chanzo kilekile. Marafiki leo wana shida kuabudu pamoja (licha ya msisitizo wa Waquaker juu ya umoja wa Kweli) kwa sababu Marafiki fulani\u2014hata hivyo, baadhi ya watu wanaosisitiza kwa uthabiti kwamba wao ndio Waquaker pekee wa kweli\u2014wanachukizwa na maneno \u201cMungu\u201d na \u201cYesu.\u201d Wengine, wakiwa na uhakika sawasawa kuwa wao ndio Waquaker pekee wa kweli, wamechukizwa kwa kutumia \u201cNuru\u201d badala ya Yesu Kristo. ”Kumfunga paka” kwenye lugha kunaweza kuwafanya Marafiki waogope kusema ukweli kuhusu mambo ya kiroho na wanaweza kuzuia huduma. Kinyume chake, Marafiki wa mapema waliozungumza nje ya ukimya wangeweza kutegemea wasikilizaji wao kusikia Ukweli bila kulazimika kufafanua masharti yao yote. <\/p>\n

”Wazao waliojifunza” wa George Fox na Marafiki wa mapema wameandika ”matibabu ya wasomi” juu ya hitaji la msemaji kutotayarisha mapema, bila kuzingatia kwamba kwanza Marafiki wangeweza kukariri vifungu virefu vya Bibilia kutoka kwa kumbukumbu, ambayo iliwafanya wawe tayari kuzungumza juu ya mambo ya kiroho kwa njia ambazo Marafiki wa kisasa sio. Wazao waliofunzwa wa Marafiki wa mapema huandika maandishi ya kitaalamu ambayo yanapuuza ukweli kwamba hatusomi tena Biblia tukiwa na ufahamu mpya na wa kibinafsi, kwamba uangalifu wetu ni mfupi zaidi, na kwamba uhakika wa imani yetu ni dhaifu zaidi. <\/p>\n

Sisi sote ni wezi, tunadai uzoefu wao wa kwanza kama wetu.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mara<\/span> nyingi, Marafiki wanasisitiza njia pekee sahihi ya kufanya ibada ya Quaker ni jinsi wanavyofikiri Marafiki wa mapema walifanya, bila kufahamu (au kutambua) madhumuni maalum ya Marafiki wa awali ambayo hayatumiki kwa ukweli wa sasa. Sisi sote ni wezi, tukidai uzoefu wao wa kwanza kama wetu, tunajisumbua katika maandishi ya sheria zao, badala ya kutafuta roho nyuma ya sheria hizo. <\/p>\n

Ninakuacha na maneno kutoka kwa Barua ya 48 ya George Fox, inayoeleza ukweli usiofungamana na hali au hali fulani (hakuna paka wanaohusika hapa):<\/p>\n

Rafiki, kwenu haya yote ni Neno la Bwana: jihadharini kuhukumiana ninyi kwa ninyi. Msihukumu ninyi kwa ninyi. . . . Lakini kila mmoja wenu hasa aliye na Nuru ya Kristo ajioneni nafsi zenu, ili nafsi ihukumiwe nje na Nuru katika kila mtu. Sasa, wote wanaopenda Nuru. . . hapa wote wako katika umoja na hakuna utashi unaweza kutokea wala hakuna ubwana. . . . Ukikaa katika Nuru, ambayo haibadiliki, unakuja kuhukumu njia zote zinazobadilika na kuabudu kwa ile inayotoka kwa Mungu. Na kwa Nuru yake. . . mambo hayo yote yanahukumiwa . . . ukikaa katika hukumu hivyo, utajazwa rehema. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
