Imimandla emininzi yehlabathi izinikele kunqulo olunye ukanti lwasekwa yenye. IAfghanistan lelinye lamazwe abambelele ngokuqinileyo kubuSilamsi; kodwa, phambi kokufika kwamaSilamsi, eli lizwe laliyeyona ndawo iphambili yokufundisa amaBhuda. Iintsalela ezininzi zamaBhuda ziqinisekisa imbali yelizwe lamaBhuda.
Ngelixa uninzi lweentsalela zatshatyalaliswa lungquzulwano nokungakhathalelwa, uninzi lwengqokelela yemyuziyam iye yaphangwa okanye yonakaliswa kakhulu. Ngenxa yoko, uphando olunzulu luyafuneka ukuze kufunyanwe amabala embali etyebileyo yamaBhuda. I-Bamiyan Buddhas, eyatshatyalaliswa yiTaliban kwi-2001, yenye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo zobungqina obunxulumene nembali yamaBuddha e-Afghanistan.
KwiPhondo laseSamangan, enye yezona ndawo zibalaseleyo zangaphambi kobuSilamsi e-Afghanistan, kukho izinto ezimangalisayo zamaBhuda-isakhiwo esingaphantsi komhlaba esahlukileyo esaziwa ekuhlaleni njengeTakht-e Rostam (Itrone kaRustam). I-stupa yathiywa ngoRustam III, ukumkani wasePersi wobukhosi baseBavand.
Ngokungafaniyo nabanye, esi stupa siye sagawulwa emhlabeni, ngendlela efana neecathedrals zase-Ethiopia ze-monolithic. Indlu yeemonki yamaBhuda enemiqolomba emihlanu eyahlukileyo ikrolwe kwiibhanki ezingaphandle zejelo. Ikwaneseli ezininzi zeemonastic ezisetyenziselwa ukucamngca.
Iintanda eziluphahleni zazisenza ukuba ukukhanya kungene emiqolombeni, nto leyo eyayibangela ukuba kubekho indawo ezolileyo ngorhatya. Indlu yeemonki engaphantsi komhlaba ayinamhombiso kodwa iyamangalisa ngenxa yobugcisa bayo obumangalisayo.
Kwakutheni ukuze esi stupa sikaTakht-e Rostam sikrolwe ngendlela engaqhelekanga?
Ababhali-mbali banike iingcaciso ezimbini ezinokwenzeka: enye yeyokuba yenzelwe ukufihla ukukhusela i-monastery kubahlaseli; enye, ingxabano eqhelekileyo kakhulu kukuba yenziwa nje ukubaleka amaqondo obushushu e-Afghanistan.
I-Takht-e Rostam (Itrone kaRostam) ligama lesi-Afghan lomlinganiswa wasentsomini kwinkcubeko yasePersi. Xa umsebenzi wokuqala we-stupa ulityalwa ngexesha le-Islamization yase-Afghanistan, indawo leyo yaziwa njengendawo apho uRostam watyhola umtshakazi wakhe uTahmina.
I-Stupas yinkolo yamaBhuda yomfuziselo “iindawo ezingcwele” kumhlaba jikelele. Ngokutsho kwemibhalo yamaVeda yamandulo, iinqanawa eziphaphazelayo ezingaqhelekanga okanye "Vimanas" watyelela uMhlaba kwiminyaka engama-6000 eyadlulayo, ngokweethiyori ezithile zamandulo zikasomajukujuku.
Igama le stupa eIndiya yikhara, elithetha ukuthi “inqaba”. I-Ikhara ifana negama laseYiputa elithi Saqqara, elibhekisela kwiPiramidi yeNyathelo okanye iNqanaba lokuya ezulwini.
Kuthekani ukuba amaJiphutha amandulo kunye namaIndiya ayesifundisa into enye malunga ne-stupas, ukuba zizibeleko ze-metamorphosis, iileli, okanye izinyuko ze-cosmic eziya ezulwini?
