Ma thuật làm hại trong tín ngưỡng các dân tộc và phương pháp khắc phục

Tóm tắt

Magic was originally practiced in primitive societies. It exists not only in terms of primitive beliefs but also in terms of the entirety of religious beliefs of mankind. Based on religious purposes, magic can be divided into two different categories: the black and white; among them, the black magic is harmful. In this article, the author gives examples of the widespread dissemination of this harmful magic in many countries of the world. In Vietnam, this harmful magic still exists in some ethnic minority populations and has negative impacts on social order and security as well as on the relationships between ethnic groups. To protect the ethnic people and their societies from such impacts, the author suggests some solutions, such as effectively implementing the governmental policies related to ethnic groups, particularly the policy of national equality and reconciliation. Other suggestions include enhancing the people's awareness of religion and belief, combining the work of propaganda with strict and clear discipline of those who take unfair advantage of harmful magic to undermine national solidarity, and effectively coordinating appropriate authorities in dealing with this harmful magic
