Amakhandlela ayizinto eziheha ngempela - uma sizisho ngokwethu! Kodwa kuyiqiniso: kunezinto ezimbalwa ezidala kakhulu futhi njengezomhlaba wonke. Futhi banokubaluleka okudala kakhulu, okuphambene namasiko. Enye yalezi ezivame kakhulu inkanuko, okwenza ukufanekisa amakhandlela kujule futhi kuhluke njengabantu abawasebenzisayo. Ngakho-ke, cishe akumangalisi ukuthi banendima ebaluleke kangaka ezinkolweni eziningi ezinkulu.
Ngezansi, sikuqoqele izibonelo ezimbalwa zezinkolo ezinkulu, nezindlela ezihlukile abasebenzisa ngazo amakhandlela ekukhonzeni kwabo. Siyaqiniseka ukuthi uzokuthola kuthakazelisa njengoba senza!
UbuKristu
Cishe uzovele umazi lona. Nakuba amakhandlela andulela ubuKristu emakhulwini eminyaka, ingesinye sezinkolo zesimanje eziphawuleka kakhulu ezathatha isikhathi sokuyamukela ngezinjongo ezithile zenkolo nemikhosi. Kusukela ngekhulunyaka lesi-2, isifundiswa esingumKristu sabhala ukuthi inkolo isebenzisa amakhandlela “hhayi nje ukususa ubumnyama basebusuku kodwa futhi imele uKristu, Ukukhanya Okungadalwanga NokuPhakade”.
Ngokujabulisayo, amaKristu anamuhla abonakala ehlanganyela intshiseko yakhe. Namuhla asetshenziswa ezinhlobonhlobo zezingqikithi: angakhumbula abangcwele ngabanye noma izehlakalo eziseBhayibhelini, noma asetshenziswe njengezimpawu zokushisekela inkolo noma injabulo.

Namuhla, amakhandlela amaKristu avame ukukhanyiswa emithandazweni; ukukhanyisela umuntu ikhandlela kusho inhloso yokumthandazela. Zinemisebenzi engokoqobo futhi - ukusakaza ukukhanya okuthambile, okungabonakali okukhuthaza umoya ozolile, ocwebezelayo. (Lesi sici sokugcina ungase usithole sikhanga ngokukhethekile lapho ukhanyisa amakhandlela ukuze uzijabulise, ngisho noma ungazibheki njengomuntu osontayo.)
UbuJuda
UbuJuda busebenzisa amakhandlela ngendlela efanayo nobuKristu, ikakhulukazi ekuvuseni umoya onokuthula, ozolile. Kodwa-ke, amakhandlela angamaJuda adlala indima enkulu kakhulu ekhaya (okuwumuzwa thina kwaMelt esingangena ngawo!). Isibonelo esaziwa kakhulu singesikhathi sokubungaza i-Hanukkah, lapho ikhandlela elinamagatsha ayisishiyagalolunye likhanyiswa khona ngobusuku obuyisishiyagalombili obulandelanayo ukuze kukhunjulwe ukunikelwa kabusha kweThempeli Lesibili eJerusalema ngekhulu lesi-2 BC.

Lo mbono wokuthi amakhandlela asetshenziswa njengophawu lokuphumula nokuthula ungomunye owamukelwe kabanzi, futhi ungenye yezimfanelo mayelana namakhandlela ethu esiwathanda kakhulu.

Avame ukubekwa phambi kwezindawo ezingcwele zamaBuddha njengophawu lwenhlonipho noma inhlonipho, futhi kanye nempepho asetshenziselwa ukuvusa isimo sokungapheleli kanye noshintsho; isisekelo sefilosofi yamaBuddha. Ukukhanya kwekhandlela elithobekile nakho kuthiwa kufanekisela ukukhanyiselwa kukaBuddha. Ngaphezu kwalokhu, ngosuku olwandulela i-Buddhist Lent, ngo-July wonyaka ngamunye, abantu baseThailand bagubha uMkhosi Wamakhandlela, lapho izinkumbi zabantu zibuthana khona ngamakhandlela ahlotshiswe ngobunyoninco, bese zibamasha emigudwini ethokozisayo yombala nokukhanya. Kulokhu, amakhandlela abawaphethe amelela amandla, ubunye, nezinkolelo zomphakathi wabo. Kuyinto ngempela ongayibona.
Ziningi ezinye izinkolo nezinkolo ngayinye ezisebenzisa amakhandlela emikhosini yazo- eziningi ngezindlela zokudala nezihlukile - kodwa uma kubhekwa ukuthi kunezinkolo ezilinganiselwa ku-4000 emhlabeni namuhla, ngeke kwenzeke ukuzibala zonke!
