Hauʻoli ʻAhaʻaina Songkran!

He aha ka ʻahaʻaina Songkran?

ʻO Songkran kekahi o nā ʻahaʻaina kaulana loa a lōʻihi hoʻi i kali ʻia ma Thailand a hiki i ka Hikina Hema o ʻAsiaHoʻolauleʻa ʻia ia ma ʻApelila 13 i kēlā me kēia makahiki a he ʻekolu lā ka lōʻihi. Hoʻomanaʻo kēia ʻahaʻaina kuʻuna i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka Makahiki Hou Thai a hoʻolauleʻa ʻia me ka hoihoi nui a me ka hoihoi. I ka wā o ka ʻahaʻaina, hana nā kānaka i nā hana like ʻole, e like me nā hakakā wai, ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke aloha Makahiki Hou i nā lunakahiko, ka hele ʻana i nā luakini e pule no nā hoʻomaikaʻi, a pēlā aku.

Pehea lā e hoʻolauleʻa ai nā kānaka i kēia ʻahaʻaina?

Ua kaulana nui ka ʻahaʻaina no kāna mau hana wai, i ka manawa e hakakā ai nā kānaka kekahi i kekahi me nā hakakā wai, ʻo ia hoʻi ka holoi ʻana i ka maikaʻi ʻole a me ka pōʻino. E ʻike ʻoe i nā kānaka o nā makahiki āpau, mai nā keiki a i ka poʻe ʻelemakule, e pīpī ana kekahi i kekahi me nā pū wai a me nā bākeke i piha. He ʻike piha leʻaleʻa ia āu e makemake ʻole ai e haʻalele.

Ma waho aʻe o nā hakakā wai, kipa pū ka poʻe i nā luakini a me nā wahi hoʻāno e pule no nā hoʻomaikaʻi a ninini i ka wai ma luna o nā kiʻi Buddha. Ua hoʻonani nani ʻia nā hale a me nā alanui me nā kukui, nā hae a me nā mea hoʻonaninani. Hōʻuluʻulu ka poʻe me ka ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha e hoʻomākaukau i nā kīʻaha ʻahaʻaina a me nā mea ʻono, e kaʻana like a ʻike pū i ka hauʻoli ʻahaʻaina.

Ma keʻano holoʻokoʻa, hoʻokokoke mai ʻo Songkran i nā kānaka, a he ʻike kū hoʻokahi ia āu e pono ʻole ai e haʻalele. Hoʻolauleʻa ʻia me ka hoihoi nui, he ʻike kū hoʻokahi maoli nō ia e waiho iā ʻoe me nā hoʻomanaʻo poina ʻole.
