身为华人的骄傲!My pride of becoming a chinese!

昨晚,我朋友和我开个玩笑,“为什么你在去了美国深造后,还会活跃于你本身传统的信仰,佛教和道教?”

这句话让我回想起以前在美国深造的时候,你不难发觉那边的人都很以他们所相信的基督教为荣!你再看看回教国家,那里的人民也都已回教为荣!
可是为什么,马来西亚的华人却以‘自由思想(没有宗教)为荣呢?
为什么他们的家里不愿意置放佛、神像呢?
这里的年轻人把没有宗教视为新潮,高科技,受过高教育的象征。。。

这就是为什么我的朋友会问我,"为什么你从美国回来之后,还会相信这些宗教?”
我不认为自己的宗教与受过高等教育有何冲突呀!

我身为华人最大的骄傲就是我们拥有3000年的文化历史!
这是洋人,马来人,其它种族所无法比较的!
世界上最长历史的文化就是华人文化!

为什么我们不为自己的文化而感到骄傲?
宗教真的和你受过高等教育、高薪工作有冲突吗?
我不这么认为,你呢?

Last night, My friend is joking with her that despite graduating from USA, I still believe in my own religion, which is Taoist mixed buddhist.

I recalled back during my study in USA years ago, you can easily find that most of the people are proud of their religion, Christian~!
When I look at Islamic Country, Malay girls are mostly cover with tudung, they’re also proud of becoming a muslim~!
But why for the chinese in Malaysia, they’re proud of becoming free thinker?
Why they would not like to have a god statue in their house?
The young people here sees free thinking as a type of modern, a symbol of their high education.

That’s why my friend says, "Why are you still believing in this after graduating from USA?"
I don’t see if there is any problem of believing with our own religion by having high education.

The biggest pride of becoming a chinese is 3000 years of culture~!
This is unbeatable by English, Malay, Indian, etc.
The longest history of culture is chinese culture~!

Why don’t we feel proud of our own culture?
Does religion really crashes with having high education / high income?
I don't think so, what about you?

  1. 我虽算不上是虔诚的佛教徒或道教徒,也不知道如何区分佛教与道教。不过只要回乡我一定会到天后宫上香。

    我也没为自己取洋名。自我介绍的时候一定用华文名。因为身为华人,我坚持要用华文名字。

  3. 信仰是一种心灵寄托。每个人都有信仰自由的权利,我本身是无神论者,不过我从不批评别人的宗教,我尊重大家的信仰。

  8. 所以要好好保留我们的文化,传给下一代~~~

    其实,没有冲突的啦~信仰是自身的,无关乎受的教育高与否。

  13. I am a Buddhist, but I embrace Buddhism not because I am a Chinese.

    Chinese culture has its goods and bads. We don't, and should not, cling on to the bad parts.

  14. Khengsiong, agree to what you said, but despite good or bad, we have the longest history of culture, that is a fact!

  15. 基本上,我个人认为宗教其实与高等教育和高薪工作是没有冲突!

    但是,某部分的人还是会因为他受了高等教育而进入看似高等的宗教!也因为这些人的不虔诚,害到这些宗教被批评,

  16. 567,我是觉得我们应该因为我们本身的宗教、文化而感到骄傲,因为宗教教导我们向善!所以,有宗教信仰绝对不会是可耻的!

  17. 中华文化中的儒教、道教和佛教都蕴含着其思想与精神的价值精髓,应该大力弘扬。
    有些知识分子,只是手上持着高等教育的文凭,可是思想和精神却是空洞贫乏的!

  19. 寒雨,是啊,儒家思想源自于孔子,是古今中外全球公认很伟大的思想家!我们应该多了解他们的思想。。。

    Kikey, I'm not sure of Vesak or Wesak, but from the spelling I get through online encyclopedia, it's written as Vesak. Anyway, it's really nice to learn about your volunteer in oversea buddhist temple. I have volunteer myself to be the committee chairman of a traditional temple. So far, I've been organizing free computer class to public, free online worship, etc.
