... proved goes against all common sense. But logic listens to the argument, and his arguments are so fine, so refined. For example, he says that when you kill a bird with an arrow, the arrow does not move at all. This is absurd, because if the arrow does not move at all, then how does it reach the bird? From your bow to the bird there is a distance. The arrow reaches there, the bird is killed -- there is...
... stupid. They are very cruel; they will beat dogs, they will beat cats. A small insect passing by -- and a child will simply kill it for no reason, he just enjoys destruction. There is a destructiveness in him. Once that is gone, creativity arises. So purification is a deeper meditation than preparation. Preparation was very simple, but purification is going deeper into meditation -- the deepest...
..., 'Out of a white bag.' But if one declares, 'The money was old,'31 and the other says, 'The money was new,'32 their testimonies cannot be combined. But in criminal cases, are not testimonies combined where there are differences such as over the colour of a bag? Did not R. Hisda say: 'If one testifies that it [sc. the murder] was with a sword, and the other maintains, it was with a dagger, it is not...
... witness: The maneh I have admitted receiving in your presence, I borrowed in the presence of so and so; and then he must have gone and said to the former witness: The maneh which I borrowed in your presence, I have admitted receiving before so and so. Why then did Rab need to state both laws? I.e., you remove difficulties merely to resurrect them! I.e., if the testimony of one witness contradicts that...
... last of the Tannaim. Hence he was sometimes described as Tanna. Forbidden by Rabbinic law. Cf. supra 21a. After the death of her first husband. Without issue, so that she became subject to levirate marriage with his paternal brother. Against her first husband, through marriage with whom she became forbidden to the levir, the man in question. And remove thereby her forbidden relationship with the...
... brother's divorcee. Though her mi'un does not alter her status of divorcee in respect of her former husband himself (for the reason stated supra) it does remove it as far as marriage with his brother is concerned. She is, as a result of her mi'un, no longer regarded as his brother's divorcee. And since it is only this familiarity that is the cause of the prohibition, it is obvious that where it does not...
... Available: N.A. Length: N.A. Question 1: BELOVED MASTER, A LOT CAME UP FOR ME IN DISCOURSE WHEN YOU SAID ANUBUDDHA WAS SO LOVING, SO CARING, SO SUCCESSFUL. THE LINE THAT GOT ME THE MOST WAS, "OUR BEST BODYWORKER." MY NEED FOR PRAISE AND FEAR OF REJECTION WAS HIT BY A STRONG PUNCH IN THE STOMACH. I FEEL LIKE I'M DROWNING; YOU LOOK LIKE THE LIFEGUARD, SO I SCREAM OUT FOR HELP, BUT YOU JUST SMILE...
... you call a nose?" Hymie Goldberg hit his head. He said, "The whole day I wasted telling him, 'Herschel, you can get out and either go to play or to meet somebody or go to your grandmother's house. But if you remain here, a guest is coming - don't mention about his nose.'" He said, "I am not going from this place, because if something strange is coming..." Naturally, the...
...; the present moment of splendor, the great moment of being nobody? - because a master never hits a disciple unless a disciple is really able to be awakened by a single hit. Kyozan said, "WHEN MONKS COME FROM ALL DIRECTIONS, HE RAISES HIS STICK, AND ASKS THEM IF THIS IS EXPOUNDED WHERE THEY COME FROM OR NOT. FURTHER, HE SAYS TO THEM, LEAVING THIS ASIDE, 'WHAT ARE THE OLD MASTERS WHERE YOU COME...
... would have been appreciation. Our stickholder - because I am a lazy man, I cannot carry the stick - has come from Germany. Just show your stick and hit poor Maneesha! (NISKRIYA TAKES THE STICK AND TAPS MANEESHA ON THE HEAD. IT MAKES A LOUD, SHARP CLICK.) Good! ISAN ADMIRED HIM AND SAID, "THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CLAW AND FANG OF OUR SECT." Seeing that Kyozan would not understand, he is not...
... disciple are very simple. Condensed to one single word it is receptivity, non-resistance, availability, saying with a full heart "Yes!" There should be no shadow of "No." That is the barrier. The master cannot function with a "no" standing between him and the disciple, because he cannot be violent, he cannot destroy the "no." He cannot remove it because all that...
.... The master will have to share it. He cannot contain it within himself. He will die if he tries to contain it within himself. His experience will kill him. It has happened thousands of times that people become enlightened and die immediately, almost simultaneously. Their enlightenment and death come together. The reason is that they have not created before enlightenment a certain capacity to be...
... knows? If somebody else possesses the mother, then? So no child likes the birth of another child. He hates it - the very idea is repulsive - because that means division, that means the mother will not be absolutely available to him. Each child wants to kill the new child, has murderous ideas, and that child remains in everybody. We become mature physically; psychologically we remain immature. So on...
.... The more hungry you are, the more possessive you become. You know only one way. So you say that you love the woman, but that's only a saying. If you come to know that she has been laughing with somebody else and has been happier than she ever is with you, you will kill her. But you say you love her! Your love can turn into hate any moment. It is only love on the surface - deep down it is hate. Your...
.... I have tried all the methods but nothing works. Poison cannot kill me. I hit my head against a rock, but the rock broke and I am unhurt. Before you decide to drink that water, think twice." The story goes that Alexander ran away from the cave so he would not be tempted to drink the water. Alexander's teacher was none other than the great Aristotle, the father of European philosophy and logic...
.... You take the handle in your hand, and go round and round the inside of the cup. This is done a certain number of times, for example seventeen; then you hit the inside of the bell at a certain point which is marked. That is the beginning and the end. From there you begin going around again, and then you strike at the end. And it is strange, the bell repeats the whole Tibetan mantra! When one hears it...
... mantra. The bell in every temple in India or Tibet or China or Burma, is meaningful in the sense that it reminds you that if you can become as silent as the bell slowly becomes, after you have hit it - first it is all sound, then slowly the sound dies-then the soundlessness enters in. People hear only the sound; then they have not heard the bell. You should hear the other part too. When the sound is...
... Mohammedan from another village to cut the tree down. But a strange thing happened: the tree was cut down - but because it may have grown again, and to remove it completely, he made a well in its place. But he suffered unnecessarily because the tree and its roots had gone so deep that they made the water as bitter as you can imagine. Nobody was ready to drink the water from that well. When I finally came...
... home I told my father, "You never listened to me. You destroyed a beautiful tree and created this ugly hole; and now what use is it? You wasted money in making the well and even you cannot drink the water." He said, "Perhaps once in a while you are right. I realize it, but nothing can be done now." He had to cover that well with stones. It is still there, covered. If you remove a...
