“ITaiwan ibizwa ngokuthi ipharadesi labantu abadla imifino.” Ngemva kokufika eTaiwan, ngezwa lokhu kubantu abaningi. Esincane kuneWest Virginia, lesi siqhingi esincane esiyizigidi ezingama-23 sinezindawo zokudlela ezibhalisiwe zemifino ezingaphezu kuka-1500. I-Taiwan, eyaziwa nangokuthi iRiphabhulikhi yaseShayina, ekuqaleni yaqanjwa ngokuthi iFormosa, “Isiqhingi Esihle” ngamatilosi angamaPutukezi.
Ohambweni lwami lokufunda lwezinsuku ezinhlanu, ngathola ubuhle obuthinta inhliziyo obusobala besiqhingi: abantu baseTaiwan bangabantu abalalelisisayo, abagqugquzelekile, futhi abahlakaniphe kunabo bonke engake ngahlangana nabo. Okwangikhuthaza kakhulu kwakuwukushisekela kwabo i-veganism nokuphila okuphilayo nokusimeme. Uhambo lwami lwezifundo lwaluhlelwe yiqembu lendawo lemfundo ye-vegan le-Meat-Free Monday Taiwan kanye nenhlangano yokushicilela eyahumusha incwadi yami ethi Diet for World Peace olimini lwesiShayina Sakudala.
Ngokumangalisayo, u-93% wezikole zamabanga aphakeme e-Taiwan zamukele inqubomgomo yosuku olulodwa yokungabi nanyama, futhi izikole eziningi zengeza usuku lwesibili (okuningi okuzayo). Izwe eligcwele amaBuddha, iTaiwan inezinhlangano eziningi zamaBuddha, ngokungafani nalezo zaseNtshonalanga, ezikhuthaza ngentshiseko ukudla kwemifino kanye ne-veganism. Ngibe nenjabulo yokuhlangana nokusebenzisana namanye ala maqembu.
Isibonelo, inhlangano enkulu yamaBuddha yaseTaiwan, i-Fo Guang Shan (“Intaba Yokukhanya KaBuddha”), eyasungulwa uDharma Master Xing Yun, inamathempeli amaningi nezikhungo zokuzindla e-Taiwan nasemhlabeni jikelele. Izindela nezindela zonke ziyi-vegan futhi izindawo zokuhlehla zazo ziyi-vegan (isiShayina esisho "imifino ehlanzekile") futhi zonke izindawo zabo zokudlela ziyimifino. UFo Guang Shan waxhasa umhlangano wokufundisa esikhungweni sakhe eTaipei lapho mina nezindela saxoxa ngezinzuzo ze-veganism phambi kwezilaleli zezindela nabantu abavamile.
Elinye iqembu elikhulu lamaBuddha eTaiwan elikhuthaza ukudla kwemifino kanye ne-veganism i-Tzu Chi Buddhist Movement, eyasungulwa nguDharma Master Hen Yin. Le nhlangano ikhiqiza izinhlelo eziningana ze-TV zikazwelonke, siqophe iziqephu ezimbili estudiyo sabo, sigxile ezinzuzweni ze-veganism namandla okwelapha omculo. UZu Chi naye unezibhedlela ezigcwele ingxenye yeshumi nambili eTaiwan, futhi nganikeza inkulumo kwesinye sazo eTaipei ezilalelini ezingaba ngu-300, kuhlanganise nabahlengikazi, izazi zokudla okunomsoco, odokotela, nabantu abavamile.
Zonke izibhedlela zaseZu Chi zidla imifino/i-vegan, futhi abanye bodokotela banikeze amazwi okuvula ngaphambi kwenkulumo yami mayelana nezinzuzo zokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni kweziguli zabo. I-Taiwan iphakathi kwamazwe aphumelele kakhulu emhlabeni, umhlaba wonke uyazi ngohlelo lwayo lokunakekelwa kwezempilo olungabizi futhi olusebenzayo, abaningi baze bacabange ukuthi lungcono kakhulu emhlabeni. Lokhu akumangazi njengoba kugcizelelwa ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni. Bobabili u-Fo Guang Shan no-Tzu Chi banezigidi zamalungu, futhi izimfundiso ze-vegan zezindela nezindela ziqwashisa abantu hhayi e-Taiwan kuphela kodwa emhlabeni wonke ngenxa yokuthi zisemhlabeni jikelele.
Inhlangano yesithathu yamaBuddha, iLizen Group, enezitolo ezingama-97 zaseTaiwan zemifino nokudla kwemvelo, kanye nenkampani engaphansi kwayo, iBliss and Wisdom Cultural Foundation, ixhase izinkulumo zami ezimbili eziyinhloko eTaiwan. Eyokuqala, eyunivesithi yaseTaichung, yaheha abantu abangu-1800, kanti eyesibili, eTaipei Technical University eTaipei, yadonsa abantu abangu-2200. Nakulokhu, umyalezo we-vegan wozwelo nokuphathwa kahle kwezilwane wamukelwa ngesasasa elikhulu yibo bobabili umphakathi jikelele, owaphakamisa ihlombe, kanye nabasebenzi basenyuvesi ababehlose ukukhuthaza i-veganism e-Taiwan. Bobabili umongameli weNyuvesi yaseTaichung kanye nomongameli weNyuvesi yaseNanhua bobabili bayizifundiswa nochwepheshe kwezombusazwe zaseTaiwan futhi benza i-veganism ngokwabo futhi bayayikhuthaza ekuphawuleni ezifundweni zami phambi kwezilaleli.
Ngemva kwamashumi eminyaka ephikisana ne-veganism evela kubaphathi bamanyuvesi nabaholi bezenkolo lapha eNyakatho Melika—ngisho naphakathi kwabathuthukayo abafana namaBuddha, ama-Unitarian, i-Unitarian School of Christianity, i-yogis, kanye nezazi zemvelo—kube kuhle ukubona i-veganism yamukelwa ngemfudumalo abameleli benkolo kanye. imfundo eTaiwan. Kubonakala sengathi kuningi esingakufunda kubafowethu nodadewethu baseTaiwan!
Ekugcineni, kuthiwani ngepolitiki yaseTaiwan kanye ne-veganism? Futhi futhi isibonelo esihle kakhulu sokuhlakanipha nokunakekela! Ngihambele isithangami sabezindaba e-Taipei nosopolitiki ababili abavelele base-Taiwan, uMama u-Annette Lu, iPhini Likamongameli wase-Taiwan kusukela ngo-2000 kuya ku-2008, kanye no-Lin Hongshi, Unobhala Omkhulu WeNdlu Yabameleli YaseTaiwan. Sonke sivumelene ngokubaluleka okukhulu kokugqugquzela i-veganism emphakathini kanye nokuthuthukisa izinqubomgomo zomphakathi kanye nezinhlelo zemfundo ukusiza abantu baqonde futhi bamukele ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni. Saxoxa ngemibono efana nentela yenyama, futhi abezindaba babebuza imibuzo ehlakaniphile futhi benozwela.
Sekukonke, ingikhuthaza kakhulu inqubekelaphambili yezishoshovu ezikhuthele nezizinikele zaseTaiwan ezisiza ukukhonza iTaiwan njengokukhanya okuqondisayo kuwo wonke umhlaba. Ngaphezu komsebenzi owenziwe izishoshovu ze-vegan, izindela zamaBuddha, osopolitiki nabafundisi, abezindaba baseTaiwan bavulekele ukubambisana. Ngokwesibonelo, ngaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezimbalwa zabantu ababelalela izinkulumo zami, amaphephandaba amane amakhulu ayezibhala ngezihloko eziningi, kangangokuthi okungenzeka ukuthi isigijimi sami safinyelela izigidi zabantu.
Ziningi izifundo esingazifunda kulokhu, kanti okunye okubalulekile wukuthi thina bantu singavuka ngobuningi bethu ekwesabeni kokuxhashazwa kwezilwane, sibambisane futhi sakhe izikhungo ezikhuthaza uzwelo kubo bonke abantu abaphilayo.
I-Taiwan iyisibonelo esihle sokuthi singakufeza kanjani lokhu futhi ingasebenza njengesikhuthazo kithi.
Ngise-Australia manje futhi ngishanelwe yisivunguvungu esisha sezinkulumo lapha naseNew Zealand ngenyanga eyodwa. Ukuhambela umhlangano woshaka ogwini lwasePerth obuhanjelwe abantu abangu-XNUMX, ngaphinde ngezwa injabulo ngokuzinikela thina njengabantu esikwazi ukukwenza, ngekhono lokunikeza ububele, ukuthula nenkululeko ezilwaneni na komunye nomunye. Amandla aqhuba i-veganism emhlabeni ayakhula, futhi akukho okubaluleke ukwedlula lokho.
