WHAKAMĀRAMA

Ko te ū tonu o te whakaaro, he tika, he pono, he tūturu tētahi āhuatanga. Ka hua ake ngā whakapono o te tangata i tōna ahurea, i tōna hāhi, i tōna whānau, i ōna wheako, i tōna taiao noho whānui.

The firm idea that something is correct, true and real. A person's beliefs originate from their culture, from their religion, from their family, from their experiences and from their wider living environment.

He aha ētahi o ngā whakapono o tērā iwi e āhua rite ana ki ō te Māori?

I ētahi whenua e hāpaitia ana te manawhiri whakapono o te tangata, i ētahi, e takahia ana te manawhiri whakapono.

WhakamĀrama Āpitihanga

Ko te pūnaha whakapono, koirā ngā mātāpono tūāpapa e mārama ai te tangata ki tōna ao. Kei tēnā hāhi tāna anō pūnaha whakapono, kei tēnā rōpū tōrangapū tāna, kei tēnā iwi hoki tāna.

E kitea ana te pūnaha whakapono a te Māori i ētahi o ā tātou whakataukī. Hei tauira:

  • Ko te manaaki tangata: He aha te mea nui o te ao, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
  • Ko te pāuaua: Kaua mā te waewae tūtuki, engari mā te upoko pakaru.
  • Ko te hirahira o te kupu: He tao rākau e taea te karo, he tao kupu e kore e taea.

Ko te pūnaha whakapono a te tangata tētahi mea matua e puta ai ōna whanonga. Mēnā ko te manarite kei tana pūnaha whakapono, kāore ia e kaikiri i tangata kē i runga i te tae o te kiri o taua tangata, i tōna iwitanga, i tōna tuakiri ā-ira, i tōna hōkakatanga, i tētahi atu āhuatanga ōna rānei.

Mēnā he whakapono korokē tō tētahi rōpū, ka kīia rātou he puni whanokē. Ākene pea he kauanuanu i tētahi tangata, i tētahi kararehe, i tētahi atua rerekē rānei, he rerekē anō hoki pea te āhua o te whakanui i te mea e kauanuanutia ana e rātou.

Mēnā kotahi te atua taioreore e whakaponotia ana, e kauanuanutia ana, ka kīia tērā ko te atuatahitanga. Mēnā he maha ngā atua ka kauanuanutia, pērā i ngā atua o roto i te whakapono Māori, ka kīia tērā ko te atuarautanga.

Ki te kore te tangata e whakapono ki tētahi atua, ki ētahi atua rānei, ka kīia tērā ko te atuakoretanga.

Mēnā e noho taiapa ana te tangata, arā, kāore ia i te whakapono ki tētahi atua, ki ētahi atua rānei, kāore hoki ia i te whakapono ki te atuakoretanga, ka kīia tērā ko te pareatuatanga. Ko tā te tangata pareatua, kāore e mōhiotia ana mēnā he atua te orokohanga o te ao, karekau rānei he atua.
