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

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

    Manjushri is one of the most important figures in Mahayana Buddhism, and is considered a patron deity of wisdom and learning. By practicing Manjushri our wisdom can enhance and improve significantly. Helps help us with our memory.
    Through Rinpoche’s sponsorship at Gaden Sharte Monastery many monks had benefited. Rejoice to them receiving the initiation .Sponsoring the Dharma, which refers to supporting the teachings and practices of Buddhism, is considered a meritorious act in Buddhism. Acts of generosity and support for the Dharma are believed to generate positive karma, leading to positive consequences in this life and future lives.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and explaining it.

    David Bowie, was an English singer, songwriter and actor and was once a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner. Regarded as among the most influential musicians of the 20th century . The English singer, songwriter and actor David Bowie died at his Lafayette Street home in New York City but in his will he requested his ashes to be spread according to the Buddhist rituals of Bali, Indonesia. He must been to Bali and fall for the beauty of Buddhism and culture of Bali to choose BUDDHIST ritual upon his death. David Bowie made a conscious choice that made perfect sense, not allowing fans and media to focus on his body and his death.
    Thank you Rinpoche.

    HORRIFYING, feeling sad after watching the video. The way or rather methods of slaughtering of pigs at slaughter house is indeed cruel. Just like human beings, they do feel pain and fear to be slaughter. No living beings would choose to die in pain or a painful death. Hopefully those methods have since been changed to minimize animal suffering. Stop consuming meat and choosing to go meatless or on vegetarian is the best choice.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing this to bring awareness of how those poor pigs suffer before been killed.

    Hoichi the Earless is the name of a well-known figure from Japanese folklore. His story is well known in Japan. Some centuries ago there lived at Akamagaséki a blind man named Hoichi, who was famed for his skill in recitation and in playing upon the biwa. According to legend, Hoichi was a blind minstrel with an amazing gift for the biwa (a loquat-shaped Japanese lute). Despite his talents, Hoichi was very poor and was forced to live at Amidaji Temple under the care of a friendly priest. There’s an interesting stories behind how he lost his ear to the Samurai and the priest wrote kanji characters all over Hoichi’s body rendered him invisible to the samurai. Hoichi’s ordeal had freed him from the spirit’s power, and he went on to recover from his wounds and become a famous musician. His story become well known and had it appearing in the books as well as in film.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Reading through the Royal Song Of Saraha paints a thousands words . Such a meaningful song or rather deep poem, will be wonderful if I could understand enough some of those words, its more of a deep Dharma teaching to me. This song of existential freedom was composed by the Glorious Master Yogin Saraha and translated in English translation by Herbert V. Guenther.
    Thank you and with folded hands Rinpoche.

    In Tibetan Buddhism, refuge and the guru are closely intertwined. Taking refuge in the three jewels expresses the most fundamental connection to Buddhism. Having confronted the limitations of samsara, we are ready for a change. Taking refuge involves seeking protection and guidance from the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, with the guru often seen as a living embodiment of these three jewels. The guru’s role is to guide practitioners towards enlightenment by pointing them to the path and helping them overcome obstacles. Refuge is not merely a symbolic act but a deep commitment to transforming one’s mind and life by relying on these sources of inspiration and guidance. Taking refuge doesn’t protect us from problems such as illness, accidents, and other difficulties. Rather, it provides us with knowledge to transform obstacles into opportunities. We learn how to relate to difficulties in a new way, and this protects us from confusion and despair. Reading again to understand better .

    Reading through this blog of what life was like for Pastor Jean Ai, during lockdown. The Movement Control Order which began in 2020 reminded me of how I went through during the lock down. Staying alone by myself as the rest of my family member outstation in KL. Not easy after all everything as such as getting foods etc. I do my shopping twice a week having doing all the necessary disinfection and so on. What I did at home during the lock down and how I spent my time, days indeed not easy Do reading, watching videos at Tsem Rinpoche blog , learning and practicing and in-fact did full prostration and mantras recitation daily . It had changed my life since then and had completed 100k . Through a Dharma brother I managed to get hold of some mantras for rolling too. Interesting,…..watching Pastor Jean Ai’s video at how she interact with friends that’s awesome.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Jean Ai for this interesting sharing.

    n Tibetan Buddhism, prostrations are a way to express deep respect and devotion to the Three Jewels for the Buddha, his teachings (Dharma), and the spiritual community (Sangha). Prostration is a physical act of deep reverence or worship, which offers a range of benefits across spiritual, physical, and mental domains. It can be a form of prayer, a means of expressing devotion. It is a deeply symbolic act that purifies negative actions, accumulates merit, and cultivates humility and compassion. It can be a form of prayer, a means of expressing devotion. This act is believed to be beneficial for practitioners, cultivating humility, eliminating negative thoughts, and accumulating positive karma which is believed to lead to positive future outcomes and spiritual progress. Whether we believe in karma or not, our negative karma increases without purification. Hence its important , to purify our negative karma through the Vajrasattva and prostrations practice. It also seen as a way to purify our negative mind, emotions and thought patterns, such as pride and ego if we do it well . Thus, the practice of purification is one of the most important solutions to our problems and is extremely necessary for everyone of us. It is more important to put our everyday life’s effort into the practice of purification to attain spiritual realization.
    The Vajrasattva purification practice, which is more powerful than negative karma. With this practice can prevent us from experiencing the problems that negative karma would otherwise bring us. Reciting the Vajrasattva mantra before going to bed to prevent whatever negative karma we have created that day from multiplying it is an incredibly powerful method that it makes our life very light and easy and keeps us happy and peaceful in our inner life.
    Both Vajrasattva practice and prostrations done with good visualizations are indeed very beneficial for practitioners.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing and teachings .

    Du Fu (712-770 AD), also known as Tu Fu, was a prominent Chinese poet of the Tang Dynasty, often considered one of the greatest alongside Li Bai. He was a poet-historian and a poet-sage, known for his realistic depictions of human suffering and reflections on the troubled times of his era. His poems, reflecting his personal experiences and the political instability of the time, have had a lasting impact on both Chinese and Japanese literary traditions.
    Interesting read.

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

    8 years ago
    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
