Buji ni ibintu bishimishije rwose - niba tubivuze ubwacu! Ariko nukuri: hari ibintu bike cyane kera cyane kandi nkibisanzwe. Bafite kandi kera cyane, imico itandukanye. Kimwe mubikunze kugaragara muribi ni ubushake, bigatuma ibimenyetso bya buji byimbitse kandi bitandukanye nkabantu babikoresha. Birashoboka ko bidatangaje rero ko bafite uruhare runini mumadini menshi akomeye.
Hasi, twakusanyije ingero nke zukwemera gukomeye, nuburyo budasanzwe bakoresha buji mugusenga kwabo. Turizera ko uzabona ko bishimishije nkatwe!
Ubukristo
Birashoboka ko uzaba usanzwe uzi iyi. Nubwo buji ibanziriza ubukristo mu binyejana byinshi, ni imwe mu myizerere izwi cyane ya none yafashe igihe cyo kuyifata ku mpamvu z’idini n’imihango. Nko mu kinyejana cya 2, umuhanga mu bya gikristo yanditse ko idini rikoresha buji “atari ukwirukana umwijima w'ijoro gusa ahubwo no guhagararira Kristo, umucyo utaremewe kandi uhoraho”.
Igishimishije, abakristo ba none basa nabasangiye ishyaka. Uyu munsi, zikoreshwa muburyo butandukanye: zirashobora kwibuka abera ku giti cyabo cyangwa ibyabaye muri Bibiliya, cyangwa gukoreshwa nk'ibimenyetso by'ishyaka ry’amadini cyangwa umunezero. Buji ntoya 'votive' ikoreshwa kenshi murwego rwo gusenga, cyangwa kubaha Imana. Uyu munsi, buji za gikristo zaka kenshi kugirango dusenge; gucana buji kumuntu bisobanura umugambi wo kubasengera. Bafite imirimo ifatika nayo - gutera urumuri rworoshye, rutagushishikaza rutera umwuka mwiza, utekereza. (Urashobora gusanga iyi ngingo yanyuma ishimishije cyane mugihe ucana buji kugirango wishimishe, nubwo utabona ko uri umunyamadini.)
Idini rya Kiyahudi
Idini rya Kiyahudi rikoresha buji mu buryo bumwe nk'ubukristo bukora, cyane cyane mu kubyutsa ikirere gituje, gituje. Ariko, buji y'Abayahudi igira uruhare runini murugo (iyi ni imyumvire twe i Melt dushobora rwose kujyana!). Urugero ruzwi cyane ni mugihe cyo kwizihiza Hanukkah, aho buji yaka amashami icyenda yaka amajoro umunani yikurikiranya kugirango yibuke itunganywa ry’urusengero rwa kabiri i Yeruzalemu mu kinyejana cya 2 mbere ya Yesu.
Bagira kandi uruhare mu Isabato (Isabato): ikiruhuko cya buri cyumweru gitangira izuba rirenze kuwa gatanu kugeza izuba rirenze kuwa gatandatu. Buji yaka impande zombi zintangiriro nimpera. Buji nazo zaka mbere yiminsi mikuru mikuru y'Abayahudi, nka Yom Kippur na Pasika. Iki gitekerezo cya buji gikoreshwa nkikimenyetso cyuburuhukiro namahoro nimwe cyemewe cyane, kandi nimwe mumico yerekeye buji yacu dukunda cyane.
Budisime
Ababuda bakoresha buji mu birori byabo mu buryo bwabo butangaje - ni umuco gakondo kuva kera w’imihango y'Ababuda, kandi bagafatwa uko bikwiye. Bakunze gushyirwa imbere y’ahantu h'ababuda nk'ikimenyetso cyo kubaha cyangwa kubaha, kandi hamwe n'imibavu bakoreshwa mu kubyutsa imiterere idahwitse n'impinduka; ibuye rikomeza imfuruka ya filozofiya y'Ababuda. Itara riva kuri buji yoroheje naryo rivuga ko rigereranya kumurikirwa kwa Buda. Usibye ibi, ku munsi ubanziriza Igisibo cy'Ababuda, muri Nyakanga buri mwaka, abaturage bo muri Tayilande bizihiza umunsi mukuru wa buji, aho imbaga y'abantu benshi bateranira hamwe na buji zishushanyijeho imitako, hanyuma bakazitambutsa kuri parade ishimishije y'amabara n'umucyo. Kuri iki kibazo, buji bitwaje zerekana ubushake, ubumwe, n'imyizerere yabaturage babo. Mu byukuri ni ikintu cyo kubona.
Hariho andi madini menshi n'imyizerere buri wese akoresha buji mu mihango ye - menshi mu buryo bwo guhanga no gutandukanya - ariko urebye ko ku isi muri iki gihe hari amadini arenga 4000, ntibishoboka ko uyashyira ku rutonde! Urashobora kwishimira urutonde rwa buji zihumura kimwe waba wibwira ko uri uwumwuka cyangwa utari uw'umwuka, cyangwa urashobora gusoma inyandiko yacu kugirango umenye byinshi kubyerekeye uruhare rw'ikigereranyo rwa buji.
