Pakaian Melayu

The baju kurung comprises two parts: a blouse and a long skirt

Baju kurung terdiri daripada dua bahagian: blaus dan kain panjang

Sebelum abad ke-20 dan kedatangan Islam, wanita Melayu memakai kemban, kain sarung atau kain panjang,yang membaluti sekeliling badan dan membiarkan bahu terdedah. Penerimaan universal Islam sebagai agama utama Melayu melihatkan pemakaian kemban lenyap dan peningkatan pemakaian baju kurung yang lebih sederhana dan elegan. Baju kurung terdiri daripada dua bahagian: blaus dan skirt panjang. Blaus tersebut adalah longgar dengan panjang yang berbeza antara pinggul dan lutut. Secara tradisinya, baju kurung mempunyai lengan panjang, tetapi fesyen moden menunjukkan rekaan lengan tiga suku panjang dengan lengan loceng dan kembang. Skirt baju kurung panjang hingga ke buku lali dan mempunyai pelisir satu bahagian tepi untuk memudahkan berjalan dan duduk. Pakaian ini boleh dibuat dengan songket tradisional atau kain batik, atau dengan fabrik kapas dengan corak bunga yang ringkas atau corak batik atau mana-mana gabungan fabrik moden. Untuk melengkapkan busana tersebut,wanita biasanya akan memakai selendang atau tudung.

Tudung adalah istilah Melayu untuk skaf kepala atau selendang yang menutupi rambut, leher serta bahagian dada, dan meninggalkan hanya wajah wanita terbuka. Kadang-kala tudung dipanggil hijab perkataan Arab yang bermaksud ‘halangan’dan memenuhi kod pakaian dalam Islam yang menyeru wanita Islam untuk berpakaian sopan.

Walaupun tudung tidak wajib bagi wanita sebelum baligh, sesetengah ibu bapa mula melatih anak perempuan untuk memakai tudung dari kecil. Keputusan untuk memakai tudung sebagai sebahagian daripada pakaian harian seseorang biasanya adalah keputusan peribadi dan ia adalah satu komitmen yang dipegang sepanjang hayat.

Cara Pemakaian

 
Kemban

Wanita berkemban dan lelaki berkain sarung

Terdapat dua jenis kain sarung – sehelai kain yang panjang dan kain yang kedua-dua lebar hujungnya dicantum dan dijahit menjadi bentuk tiub. Untuk memakai kain sarung yang dijahit, anda perlu langkah ke dalam bahagian tengah kain dan tarik sehingga ke bawah lengan anda. Lipat bahagian tepi kain sarung ke bahagian hadapan anda dan lipat sebanyak beberapa inci ke bawah untuk memastikan kain tetap ditempatnya. Kemudian, gulung lipatan ke bawah beberapa kali untuk memastikan bahawa sarong tidak lucut.

Kain sarung lepas memerlukan kain tersebut menutup seluruh bahagian belakang badan sambil tangan anda memegang setiap hujung kain.Balut kain di sekeliling badan anda. Bagi memudahkan pemakaian, anda boleh mengepit kain di bahagian bawah lengan anda supaya tangan anda bebas untuk memintal sudut kain sarung sebelum membuat simpulan pada paras dada.

 
Tudung

How to wear tudung

Cara pemakaian tudung

Terdapat banyak cara untuk menggayakan skarf atau selendang menjadi tudung. Gaya asas segi tiga sesuai dengan mana-mana jenis kain berbentuk segi empat.

  1. Lipat salah satu sudut selendang ke bawah hingga bertemu sudut bertentangan untuk membentuk bentuk segi tiga.
  2. Letakkan sisi panjang selendang yang dilipat di atas dahi anda. Kedua-dua hujung selendang itu akan menutupi bahu anda, dan hujung segi tiga akan tergantung di belakang kepala anda.
  3. Buka mulut anda ketika anda tarik tudung di bawah dagu anda, kemudian pinkan tudung. Mulut anda dibuka supaya anda akan mempunyai ruang yang mencukupi untuk menggerakkan rahang anda apabila tudung siap dipakai.
  4. Seterusnya, silangkan hujung selendang pada leher anda supaya hujung selendang sebelah kiri pergi ke kanan, dan sebaliknya. Ekor selendang perlu menutupi bahagian leher dan ke bawah bahagian belakang bahu anda.
  5. Tarik kedua-dua hujung ke belakang kepala anda dan pin kedua-dua di bawah sudut belakang selendang itu.
  6. Laraskan tudung dan anda telah siap memakai tudung.

Terdapat alternatif sedia dipakai di kedai-kedai yang hanya memerlukan anda untuk memasukkan kepala anda melalui bukaan selendang itu. Apabila selendang berada di tempat dan anda telah membuat pelarasan yang perlu, anda telah bersedia untuk menunjukkan gaya baru anda.

Perlu diingat bahawa wanita Islam memakai tudung sebagai satu bentuk komitmen kepada diri dan agama mereka. Janganlah mengambil pemakaian tudung sebagai satu jenaka dalam apa jua cara serta menghormati wanita-wanita ini.

 
Sampin

    For the last 60 years, the Tibetan Government-in-Exile has exploited, abused, marginalised and persecuted their people. For the first time in six decades, since the Tibetans first entered a life in exile, we are seeing more and more examples of ordinary Tibetans speaking up against this exploitation. In years gone past, Tibetans would never have dared to voice their objections to the leadership. They have been mixing religion and politics ever since. A majority of the Tibetans in India are stateless, and been sufferings quietly. Hundreds of thousands of Tibetans were killed during the Chinese invasion, prompting the young Dalai Lama to flee into exile in 1959. Because of all the exploitation the younger Tibetan generation are willing to express and speaking up.
    Reading the commentary by a anonymous member of the Tibetan community tells us how those desperate Tibetans experienced all this while and to voice the truth. Interesting read. In order to achieve peace it is necessary to address the root of violence and conflict by having dialogue between the Chinese Government and the Tibetan Government.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing .

    The legendary Ra Lotsawa Dorje Drak was born in the village of Nyenam,Southern Tibet amidst many auspicious signs of a high rebirth. Ra Lotsawa was a great tantric master and is one of the most controversial Buddhist teachers in Tibetan history who had used wrathful means to subjugate his opponents. One of the previous lives of Dorje Shugden is the renowned lama Ra Lotsawa Dorje Drak, Amongst his great deeds, Ra Lotsawa was known to have renovated many with Samye, Tibet’s first monastery. He also sponsored numerous new translation works, the copying and recitation of sacred scriptures, and the installation of Buddha statues. Interesting read of the biography of this great master. Ra Lotsawa Dorje Drakpa left behind a legacy of many great lamas, practitioners and preserving, as well as spreading this tantric system in Tibet.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor David for this sharing.

    Dorjé Shukden is a controversial Tibetan Buddhist protector deity, believed by some to be a wrathful spirit and by others to be an enlightened Buddha. The controversy that arose from this divided understanding over the last fifty years has impacted the Tibetan Buddhist community globally and continues to be relevant to observers and practitioners of Buddhism the world over. The Yellow Book, based on its cover. It was composed by Kyabje Zemey Rinpoche in 1970, but it was not published until 1973. Kyabje Zemey Rinpoche never intended for his book to be published but somehow it was published without his permission. According to the introduction, Kyabje Zemey Rinpoche authored this book in 1970 based on teachings given by Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche, the junior tutor to the 14th Dalai Lama.The original intention of this book was to be complementary material to Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche’s book, Music Delighting An Ocean of Protectors, which was published six years before the Yellow Book. The Yellow Book did not circulate widely until several years later. It is a collection of cautionary tales and teachings but sadly some influential powerful officials and people who had corrupted the Gelug lineage . Interesting read.
    I am looking forward to finish reading this book.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Martin for this interesting sharing.

    Firebirds are mythical birds found in the folklore of many cultures. They are often depicted as magical birds with feathers that glow like flames or the sun. The mythology surrounding firebirds varies between cultures, but there are some common themes. In Greek mythology, the mythical bird known for its ability to be reborn from its ashes, symbolizing immortality and renewal. It is often depicted as a beautiful and majestic creature with brightly coloured feathers and a long tail. Interesting read of the stories related to the mythology, legend and folklore in this blog.

    Cham Dance is the traditional dance of Tibetans. It involves a series of masked dances, which are usually performed by monks and laymen, wearing colourful costumes. These dances are vibrant and lively and are performed during annual festivals. Dorje Shugden Cham dance is one of them, is said to have originated in the Himalayan range and by far the date and year are kept as a treasured secret to this date. The Dorje Shugden cham dance is rare but not an obscure lineage; there are certain monasteries in Tibet who have practised this dance for hundreds of years. Dorje Shugden Cham dance is a colourful and impressive performance, performed by Buddhist monks who practiced Dorje Shugden. The Cham dance is very powerful and through the dance which depicts the truth of Dorje Shugden.There are a few variations of accounts on the history and the lineage of Dorje Shugden, written by various attained lamas in the last 350 years. Collected works on Dorje Shugden written by His H H Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche considered the most accurate account. As describes clearly how Dorje Shugden for many lifetimes had manifested high level Mahasiddhas. Dorje Shugden and his entourage of thirty-two deities are all depicted in the Cham dance as a World Peace Protector. Interesting read.
    Thank you Rinpoche great sharing.

    Momo is a dumpling made of all-purpose flour and filled with either meat or vegetables. Inspired by Tibetan dumplings, the dish is a very popular Nepali street food. It is one of my favourite foods. Last year while in Kathmandu I am fortunate given the opportunity to learn and made vegetarian Momos.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing as it reminds me of trip there visiting some of the Holiest sites and trying my hand making momos then.

    Bouddha, also known as Boudhanath, is a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal which is located about 11 km from outskirts of Kathmandu. Its massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal and the world. The Boudhanath Stupa pyramid is coated with over 60 pounds of gold, is one of the largest and one of the most significant Buddhist monuments in the world. This great Stupa is home to precious relics and this semi-circular structure stands out with its majestic mandala, recognized by UNESCO in 1979 as a World Heritage Site. The Boudhanath is the most sacred sites in Tibetan Buddhism outside of Tibet, reflecting the cosmological tenets of Buddhism. Was there last year June joining thousands of pilgrims circumambulate the stupa.
    The aerial view of this Boudhanath Stupa is magnificent indeed. Looking merely at the pictures is a blessing.

    Shanti Stupa in Pokhara was built by Nipponzan-Myōhōji monk Morioka Sonin with local supporters under the guidance of Nichidatsu Fujii, a Buddhist monk and the founder of Nipponzan-Myōhōji
    A famous site where locals as well as foreign tourists will go there throughout the year. One have to climb 400 steep steps to get to the Pagoda, it was worth the climb, as its situated on the Anadu Hill at the height of 1100 meters.
    Shanti Stupa shrine was built as a symbol of peace designed to provide a focus for people of all races and creeds, and to help unite them in their search for world peace. It has also become a tourist attraction as it provides a panoramic view of the Annapurna range, Pokhara city and Fewa Lake. The white pagoda has two tiers for tourists and religious visitors to circumambulate. Its location on the hilltop provides a splendid view of sunrise and sunset for visitors. Hopefully I could visit this amazing Holy site soon.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

  • She’s going to spend her whole life here without being able to move correctly. Like a machine. They are the slaves of the people and are viewed as a product. It’s immoral. Billions of terrestrial animals die annually. Billions. You can’t even imagine it. And all that because people don’t want to give up meat, even though there are so many alternatives. ~ Gabriel Azimov

    What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit.
    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
