Abstract

Today Myanmar is a multi-racial and multi-religious country and has an estimated population of 60 million people. The population is comprised of some 135 ethnic groups speaking 106 languages and living together under the generic name, the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. The civil war in Myanmar has lasted for 64 years, from 1949 until now. Today the people (Lu Du) of Myanmar are powerless and cry for justice and peace. This paper proposes a theology appropriate for the Lu Du by tracing the correlation between Jesus and the Lu Du. It builds on the work of Minjung and Dalit theologians to emphasize the importance of the historical event of the cross of Jesus for interpreting the suffering of the Lu Du. It also stresses the place of a theology of the Holy Spirit in the context of Myanmar. Finally, it describes the significance of the resurrection of Jesus as a historical event which gives motivation and hope to Lu Du to work for and claim the promise of their special place in the Reign of God. The imagery of God’s Reign provides a concrete aspiration for an ecumenical journey towards justice, unity and peace. Building a peaceful community in Myanmar is not the sole responsibility of Christians, Buddhists, Muslims or people of other faiths. In fact, the Holy Spirit is a primary force in the movements of Lu Du from the beginning. The Holy Spirit motivates and persuades the Lu Du for freedom as it is the ultimate Will of God. It should be the product of peaceful transformation of the poor - empowering individuals and building relationships.
耶稣与鲁杜:相关性
今天的缅甸是一个多种族、多宗教的国家,人口估计有6000万。人口由大约135个民族组成,讲106种语言,并以缅甸联邦共和国的总称生活在一起。从1949年到现在,缅甸的内战已经持续了64年。今天,缅甸人民无能为力,呼唤正义与和平。本文通过追溯耶稣与《路都》的关系,提出了一种适合《路都》的神学。它以明宗和达利特神学家的工作为基础,强调耶稣被钉在十字架上这一历史事件对于解释鲁杜的苦难的重要性。它还强调了圣神神学在缅甸的地位。最后,它描述了耶稣复活作为一个历史事件的意义,这给了鲁杜动力和希望,让他们为上帝的统治而工作,并要求他们在上帝的统治中占有特殊的地位。上帝统治的意象提供了一个朝向正义、团结与和平的普世之旅的具体愿望。在缅甸建立一个和平的社区并不是基督徒、佛教徒、穆斯林或其他信仰的人的唯一责任。事实上,圣灵从一开始就是鲁杜运动的主要力量。圣灵激励并说服鲁杜追求自由,因为这是上帝的最终意志。它应该是穷人和平转型的产物——赋予个人权力和建立关系。
