Dari romantik ke penghormatan: Thailand melancarkan inisiatif meditasi global pada Hari Valentine

THAILAND – Dalam dunia yang semakin terpecah oleh perubahan sosial yang pesat dan tekanan tanpa henti kehidupan moden, sebuah jambatan keamanan baru sedang dibina dari jantung Bangkok.

Pada malam 14 Februari—hari yang secara tradisional ditandai dengan pertukaran bunga mawar dan pelekat berbentuk hati di kalangan belia Thailand—Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama (DRA) akan melancarkan projek Global Meditation Connect (GMC) di Wat Arun yang ikonik, Temple of Dawn.

Inisiatif ini, bertemakan “Meditasi Menghubungkan Kuasa Belas Kasihan kepada Dunia,” bertujuan untuk mengubah sentimen romantik Hari Valentine kepada “kasih sayang” yang lebih mendalam dan universal.

Dengan memanfaatkan halaman yang tenang di salah satu tapak Buddha paling suci di Thailand, projek ini bertujuan untuk meletakkan meditasi sebagai alat penting untuk penyembuhan, pemulihan, dan pengukuhan semangat manusia merentasi sempadan dan kepercayaan.

Nafas sejagat untuk keamanan

Chaiyapol Suk-iam, pengarah jeneral DRA, menekankan bahawa projek GMC direka untuk menjadi inklusif dan boleh diakses.

Amalan di Wat Arun akan menumpukan pada kawalan nafas yang sederhana, satu “format spiritual kreatif” yang melampaui usia, jantina, dan dogma tertentu.

“Bermeditasi akan berfungsi sebagai alat untuk penyembuhan dan menangani cabaran kontemporari seperti tekanan, buli, dan kemurungan,” kata Suk-iam. “Dengan membina penghormatan diri dan penghormatan terhadap orang lain, kita dapat mengurangkan masalah sosial dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan mental secara keseluruhan.”

DRA merancang untuk mengembangkan visi ini sepanjang tahun 2026, mengintegrasikan sembilan pusat meditasi perintis dan pelbagai hab antarabangsa di seluruh negara.

Matlamatnya adalah dua kali ganda: untuk menawarkan manfaat nyata seperti peningkatan tumpuan dan kecekapan kerja, serta untuk mempamerkan warisan budaya Thailand yang kaya sebagai destinasi global untuk pelancongan spiritual.

Satu keharmonian Katolik

Walaupun projek GMC berakar umbi dalam landskap budaya Thai, amalan keheningan dan keintiman mendapati resonans yang mendalam dalam tradisi Katolik.

Di Thailand dan Kemboja, di mana populasi pelajar kebanyakannya beragama Buddha, pendidik Katolik telah lama mengakui meditasi sebagai “perpanjangan semula jadi doa,” satu perspektif yang diperkukuhkan oleh semangat Konsili Vatikan Kedua.

Deklarasi Majlis Nostra Aetate menggalakkan Gereja untuk mengiktiraf kebaikan rohani dan moral yang terdapat dalam agama-agama lain.

Di Thailand, ini telah terwujud dalam gabungan pedagogi yang unik. Kongregasi religius seperti Ursuline Sisters bahkan telah belajar di biara hutan untuk menyesuaikan teknik kesedaran untuk kehidupan kontemplatif mereka sendiri dan persekitaran pendidikan mereka.

Kesunyian sebagai jalan menuju yang ilahi

Bagi sekolah-sekolah Katolik, meditasi bukan sekadar latihan psikologi tetapi satu pertemuan.

Fr Paul Eakarat Homprathum, setiausaha agung Majlis Pendidikan Katolik Thailand, menjelaskan bahawa meditasi di sekolah-sekolah Katolik sering menggabungkan kontemplasi Kristian tradisional dengan kesedaran sekular.

“Meditasi kami melibatkan duduk dalam diam untuk ‘mendengar Tuhan,’ berdoa untuk petunjuk-Nya,” kata Fr Eakarat kepada LiCAS News.

Pentadbir sekolah di seluruh negara melaporkan bahawa saat-saat sunyi pagi ini membantu “menenangkan tubuh dan minda” pelajar, membolehkan mereka memasuki pelajaran dengan semangat yang terpusat.

Sama ada seorang pelajar Buddha yang menumpukan perhatian pada nafas atau seorang pelajar Katolik yang menunggu “suara kecil yang tenang” Tuhan, hasilnya adalah ruang damai yang dikongsi.

Ketika matahari terbenam di sebalik menara-menara Temple of Dawn pada Hari Valentine ini, projek Global Meditation Connect mengingatkan kita bahawa tindakan cinta yang terbesar mungkin adalah penanaman hati yang damai.

Dalam zaman ketidakstabilan global, seruan untuk ketenangan—sama ada di dalam katedral atau kuil—kekal sebagai keperluan sejagat untuk kebaikan bersama. – LiCAS.news.
