00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04Speaking of yoga, I believe many people will not feel unfamiliar.
00:07Since the 1960s, yoga has become a popular sport in the West and the world.
00:12It has become a popular way for many people to cultivate themselves and exercise.
00:17Recently, yoga exercises have aroused controversy in Myanmar.
00:22Last week, the local Chinese Muslim missionary Huang Weixiong posted a post
00:26urging Muslims not to participate in or practice yoga.
00:30Because yoga is a religious ritual from India,
00:34and it violates the rules of Islam.
00:37In this post, Huang Weixiong mentioned
00:40that one day, Professor Lin Gan, President of the Myanmar Yoga Association,
00:44was in a hurry to see him and said that he had very important things to discuss.
00:48It turned out that he hoped that Huang Weixiong would help to convey to Muslims
00:51to advise them not to practice yoga and violate Islamic rules.
00:55In the meeting, the President of the Myanmar Yoga Association told him
00:58that yoga is evidence of the religious ritual from India.
01:02He pointed out that the professor himself would not promote yoga to Muslims,
01:06but there are still yoga teachers or learning centers
01:10who promote yoga to Muslims, which makes the professor very worried.
01:14Huang Weixiong revealed that some people abuse the name of the Youth Sports Department
01:18and the National Sports Council to promote yoga to the people, including Muslims.
01:24He will hold a meeting to discuss and report to the police.
01:28Huang Weixiong said that the President of the Myanmar Yoga Association has admitted through research
01:32that the prayer of Islam itself is a movement that is beneficial to the health of the body,
01:37so there is no need to practice yoga at all.
01:40Huang Weixiong also said that as a professor of Indian religion,
01:43he advised Muslims to respect the rules of religion and not to participate in yoga,
01:48which made him feel ashamed as a Muslim teacher.
01:52However, Huang Weixiong's remarks immediately caused a stir on the Internet.
01:56Some netizens pointed out that although yoga originates from India,
02:00it has now evolved into a movement that combines stretching and adjusting the breath,
02:05and there are no religious elements such as worshipping or giving alms.
02:09This statement may be too arbitrary,
02:11but some netizens agree that as the President of the Association who knows yoga very well,
02:15Muslims should not learn it.
02:17In fact, this is not the first time that Huang Weixiong has made controversial remarks.
02:21However, it can be seen that this Chinese Islam teacher
02:24once posted a video on the Internet
02:26to teach minors how to secretly transform and spark controversy.
02:31Is yoga a kind of Indian religious ritual?
02:35Can't Muslims really learn yoga?
02:38In fact, this topic was once discussed in 2008.
02:42At that time, the Council of Religious Justice announced that
02:44due to the three elements of religious worship, giving alms and body movements,
02:49it was forbidden for Muslims to practice yoga.
02:51This also aroused controversy at the time.
02:53However, Prime Minister Adula later clarified
02:56and emphasized that as long as there are no elements of giving alms and worship,
03:01Muslims can still continue to practice yoga to promote their own health.
