Nā pule

ʻO ko mākou Makua, Aloha Maria… i ko mākou wā kamaliʻi a me ko mākou ʻōpio ke aʻo nei mākou i kekahi mau pule kumu. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole lākou wale nō.

Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike na pule a me na pule a pau a me ka mooolelo o ka poe haipule nona keia mau olelo, ma keia pauku o Postposmo e ike ai oukou i na mea a pau e pili ana ia lakou.

He aha ka ʻōlelo?

ʻO ka pule kahi ala e kāhea aku ai i ke akua. Ma kēia ʻano, ma o nā huaʻōlelo, kākau a waha paha, ʻimi kekahi e hōʻike a noi aku i kahi mea kokoke i ke Akua a i ʻole ka poʻe haipule no ke kōkua.

Wahi a ka puke wehewehe ʻōlelo o ka ʻōlelo Paniolo, ʻo ka heluhelu ʻana (ma ka waha a me ka noʻonoʻo paha) ʻo ka pule ke kamaʻilio ʻana i ke kanaka kapu a i ʻole ke akua e noi ai i ke kōkua.

ʻAʻohe lōʻihi no nā huaʻōlelo, akā, he ʻōlelo wale nō kēia e noi ana i ka haipule a i ʻole ke akua; a i ʻole he mele a i ʻole kekahi mea lōʻihi e hoʻokiʻekiʻe ai i nā ʻano o kēlā kanaka a noi aku i kōkua, no kekahi a no kekahi kanaka.

ʻAʻole wale ka pule ma ka hoʻomana Karistiano, akā Nui nā hoʻomana ʻē aʻe i loaʻa kēia mau pule, oli a pule paha i ko lakou mau akua a me na haipule. ʻOiai ma ka Buddhism, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā mantras e like me nā pule, a i ʻole ka noʻonoʻo ʻana iā ia iho he ala e pule ai, a iā ʻoe iho.

He aha ka pule kahiko loa?

Ua ʻike ʻia ka pule kahiko loa mai ka makahiki 1700 BC. c. Aia ma kahi lei kahiko i kākau ʻia ma ka ʻōlelo Kanaʻana, a penei ke ʻano: "E uhuki kēia niho i nā makika mai ka lauoho a me ka ʻumiʻumi."

E ʻike ma aneʻi i nā haipule like ʻole a me nā pule āu e pule ai no lākou e kōkua iā ʻoe ma nā kūlana like ʻole. A ʻo ia ka mea hiki i kēia mau pule ke kūpono i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manaʻoʻiʻo a ma luna o nā pale āpau o ka poʻe hiki ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe.
