He aha te Hakari Songkran?
Ko Songkran tētahi o ngā hakari rongonui me te roa e tatarihia ana i Thailand tae atu ki Āhia ki te Tonga-mā-rāwhitiKa whakanuia i te 13 o Paenga-whāwhā i ia tau, ā, e toru ngā rā e roa ana. Ko tēnei hakari tuku iho te tīmatanga o te Tau Hou o Tai, ā, ka whakanuia me te hihiri nui. I te wā o te hakari, ka whakahaerehia e te tangata ngā mahi maha, pērā i te whawhai wai, te mihi Tau Hou ki ngā kaumātua, te haere ki ngā temepara ki te inoi mō ngā manaakitanga, me ētahi atu.
Me pēhea te whakanui a te iwi i tēnei hakari?
E mōhiotia whānuitia ana te hakari mō āna mahi wai, ā, i taua wā ka whawhai te tangata tetahi ki tetahi mā te whakamahi i ngā whawhai wai, hei tohu mō te horoi i te kino me te pōuri. Ka kite koe i ngā tāngata o ngā reanga katoa, mai i ngā tamariki ki ngā kaumātua, e tauhiuhi ana tetahi ki tetahi ki ngā pū wai me ngā peere kī tonu. He wheako ngahau tēnei kāore koe e hiahia ki te mahue.
Haunga ngā whawhai wai, ka toro atu hoki te iwi ki ngā temepara me ngā wāhi tapu ki te inoi mō ngā manaakitanga me te ringihanga wai ki ngā whakapakoko o Buddha. He ataahua te whakapaipai o ngā kāinga me ngā tiriti ki ngā rama, ki ngā haki me ngā whakapaipai. Ka huihui te iwi me te whānau me ngā hoa ki te taka kai me ngā mea reka mō te hakari, ki te whakapuaki me te wheako tahi i te harikoa o te hakari.
I te katoa, ka whakatata te Songkran i te iwi, ā, he wheako ahurei tēnei e kore e tika kia mahue. Ki te whakanuia me te hihiri nui, he wheako ahurei tēnei e waiho ana i a koe he maharatanga e kore e warewaretia.
