... HIT HIM SAYING, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" UNDER THIS BLOW HSUEH FENG FINALLY SMASHED THE LACQUER BUCKET OF HIS IGNORANCE. FROM THIS WE OBSERVE THAT IN THIS SECT INTELLIGENCE AND CLEVERNESS, THOUGHT AND JUDGMENT, ARE OF NO USE AT ALL. AN ANCIENT WORTHY HAD A SAYING: "TRANSCENDENT WISDOM IS LIKE A GREAT MASS OF FIRE. APPROACH IT AND IT BURNS OFF YOUR FACE." IF YOU HESITATE IN THOUGHT...
... COME DOWN FROM HIGH ANTIQUITY, WHAT DOCTRINE IS USED TO INSTRUCT PEOPLE?" TE SHAN SAID, "OUR SCHOOL HAS NO VERBAL EXPRESSION, NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY DOCTRINE TO TEACH PEOPLE." LATER HSUEH FENG ALSO ASKED, "DO I HAVE ANY SHARE IN THE BUSINESS OF THE VEHICLE OF THIS ANCIENT SCHOOL?" TE SHAN PICKED UP HIS STAFF AND IMMEDIATELY HIT HIM SAYING, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" UNDER...
... immediately hit him saying, "What are you saying?" This was just playfulness between two enlightened people; it has nothing to do with destroying his ignorance. Nobody can destroy anybody's ignorance by hitting him with a staff; otherwise things would be so easy! I can just call each of you and give a good hit, and your ignorance disappears and you become enlightened. No, this was simply a...
... playfulness. The master hit just to show Hsueh Feng, "You cannot deceive me ... you are asking in a different way so that I may say something which is not right. I have answered you already: we don't have any doctrine, and we don't have any expression in our school. It is an absolutely silent school. We don't talk, we don't read scriptures, we don't worship Buddha -- we simply sit silently on this...
... -- and as Te Shan saw that Hsueh Feng was trying to bring the question again from a different angle, he hit him with his staff and said, "What are you saying? Have you not heard -- we don't have any verbal expression, we don't have any doctrine, so in what way can you serve? In what way can you be a vehicle for this ancient school? The only way to be part of this school ... you cannot be a vehicle...
... has hit Hsueh Feng with the staff just to tell him, "It is enough! I have said everything, now the only way I can put your questions to silence is by hitting on your head. We don't need your head, we don't need your mind." By hitting his head Te Shan is saying, "Your mind should not be here at all. These people are living in a state of no-mind, and that is our school." From this...
... body has [subsequently] been removed.16 Rafram R. Papa said In R. Hisda's name: If he recognizes that [additional row] he may remove it and the tomb becomes again permissible. Come and hear! 'If one hews a grave for his [dead] father and then goes and buries him elsewhere, he [himself] may never be buried therein'?17 — Here it is on account of his father's honour.18 That too stands...
....' — A murderer is held guilty not only of his victim's death, but also for the frustration of the lives of his potential descendants for all time. (Cf. Mishnah. supra 37a). But in their view, Ahab did not slay his actual sons. I Kings XXI, 13, pointing to his culpability for treason to the King in addition to blasphemy, which is punished by the Beth din; hence his estate would fall to the crown. So...
... genuine. So Rashi. Kimhi maintains that the judges knew the testimony to be false, but that the accusation was made stronger in order to keep the people from revolting against the execution. I.e., even if he held that their estate did not belong to the King. I.e. to make the crime appear more heinous. I Kings II, 28. Ibid. 30. I.e., he declined to be tried by the King so that his estate might not be...
... confiscated. He wished to gain the time which it would require to take his message to the King and bring back an answer. Ibid. This gives the impression that Benaiah had had a long conversation with Joab. Lit., 'that man.' For the murder of Abner. V. II Sam. Ill, 29: The curse is quoted in the text. — That curse then was to be Joab's punishment. But if Solomon executed him, the curse would be...
... transferred to Solomon himself. And kill him where he is. I Kings II, 31. Thus Solomon accepted the curses. II Sam. III, 29. Solomon's only son. V. I Kings XIV, 21. Lit., 'used effort'. I Kings XII, 18. Lev. XV, 9. The deduction is made from a comparison of the uses of the expression 'to ride' in both verses. According to Kimhi, however, it is deduced from the fact that he had to use an effort to mount his...
..., do you remember when you were looking at your watch, and I hit your head with a Canada Dry soda bottle? Remember now? At the time you missed it. That's what it means to know astrology. She had a little taste of it this morning - I don't think she will ever look at her watch again. But please, look at it again and again, so I can hit you again and again. It was only a beginning. Otherwise how are...
... you going to freak in? Forgive me, but always allow me to hit you. I am always ready to ask your forgiveness, but never ready to say that I will not hit again. In fact, the first is only a preparation for the second, and a deeper hit. This is a strange company here. I am an old Jew. There is a proverb which says, "Once a Jew always a Jew." And I was once a Jew, and I know the truth of that...
... categories of idiots. Now this German and that Dutch fellow, whose name I have fortunately forgotten, both belong to the first category of fools... no, not fools - that is reserved for my Jew disciple, Devageet - idiots. The Dutch idiot proved, or tried to prove, in a long dissertation, that I am only enlightened, not illuminated. Now, these two idiots should meet and wrestle, and hit each other with their...
... dictatorial rule, forced. If the force is removed, the society will again become capitalist. My whole effort was that no force should be used. Rather we should make everything so affluent that there was no need for anybody to be poor. There was not a single beggar, there was not a single thief. No crime was committed, no rape, no murder, no suicide; and particularly in America where rape and murder and...
... we don't want to kill anybody." And my feeling is that if we can do it, the whole world's sympathy will be with us - more than with your armies. It is a risk, but even with armies the risk is there. So it makes no difference. This way you can have goodwill from all over the world, and you may start a chain - so that other countries that are small and cannot compete may start thinking of...
... dropping the whole lot because it is taking too much energy and too many men and unnecessarily wasting resources. And another thing: in this dropping all arms and armies, dissolving them, opening yourself, becoming vulnerable, whatever happens you will not kill. It will be better to be killed and destroyed, but you will not kill. This declaration will make a great impact on the whole world. And my...
.... I take away all those things which have been imposed on you, and I give you all those things which really have always been within you - I don't give them to you. You had them already, covered by garbage. I remove the garbage. And I don't ask anything in return. My joy is to clean you. My joy is just like a gardener - when the roses come to blossom, something in his heart also blossoms. Whenever...
..., their eternal and absolute oneness; and therefore do they enter into an infinite and everlasting covenant of divine partnership. This never-ending compact is made for the execution of their united concepts throughout all of the circle of eternity; and ever since this eternity event the Father and the Son continue in this divine union. (90.3) 8:0.3 We are now face to face with the eternity origin of...
... the Infinite Spirit, the Third Person of Deity. The very instant that God the Father and God the Son conjointly conceive an identical and infinite action — the execution of an absolute thought-plan — that very moment, the Infinite Spirit springs full-fledgedly into existence. (90.4) 8:0.4 In thus reciting the order of the origin of the Deities, I do so merely to enable you to think of their...
...-ending panorama of the creative unfolding of the purpose of the Universal Father through the personality of the Eternal Son and by the execution of the God of Action, the executive agency for the reality performances of the Father-Son creator partnership. (91.1) 8:1.4 The God of Action functions and the dead vaults of space are astir. One billion perfect spheres flash into existence. Prior to this...
... to the Father and the Son (93.3) 8:3.1 As the Eternal Son is the word expression of the “first” absolute and infinite thought of the Universal Father, so the Conjoint Actor is the perfect execution of the “first” completed creative concept or plan for combined action by the Father-Son personality partnership of absolute thought-word union. The Third Source and Center eternalizes concurrently with...
... all-merciful Son for the execution of their conjoint project of drawing to themselves all truth-loving souls on all the worlds of time and space. The very instant the Eternal Son accepted his Father’s plan of perfection attainment for the creatures of the universes, the moment the ascension project became a Father-Son plan, that instant the Infinite Spirit became the conjoint administrator of the...
... Father and the Son for the execution of their united and eternal purpose. And in so doing the Infinite Spirit pledged all his resources of divine presence and of spirit personalities to the Father and the Son; he has dedicated all to the stupendous plan of exalting surviving will creatures to the divine heights of Paradise perfection. (93.8) 8:3.6 The Infinite Spirit is a complete, exclusive, and...
.... 9; here, however, it is more probable that the allusion is to the Gnostics and their doctrine of the Demiurgus; v. Krauss, op. cit. a.l. Lit., 'the King of the Kings of the Kings.' How grave the responsibility therefore of corrupting myself by giving false evidence, and thus bringing the moral guilt of murder upon a whole world. Tractate List / Glossary / / Bible Reference Sanhedrin 37b WHY SHOULD...
... who slew his fellow! It is related that before they moved from the place a serpent came and bit him [the murderer] so that he died. But should this man [have died] through a serpent? Did not R. Joseph say, and so too it was taught in the school of Hezekiah: From the day the Temple was destroyed, although the Sanhedrin was abolished, the four modes of execution were not abolished? They were not...
... abolished, [you say,] but surely they were! — But the law of the four modes of execution was not abolished:9 He who is worthy of stoning either falls from the roof,10 or is trampled to death by a wild beast; he who merits burning either falls into the fire or is bitten by a serpent;11 he who is worthy of decapitation is either delivered to the [gentile] Government12 or...
... for the accused's death. Prov. XI, 10. For it is not an actual witnessing of the murder. But v. Mishnah on 81b, and Talmudic discussion thereon. A customary oath. This may either mean, May I (personally) always be afflicted; or, May I never see the comfort of Zion and of Jerusalem. If the latter be correct, the troublous times of the period, owing to the clash of the Pharisees and the Sadducees...
..., might have given rise to such an oath. I.e., it must be you. Deut. XVII, 6. I.e., the death which the Jewish courts could no longer decree was now brought about by Heavenly agencies. Before stoning one was thrown from a certain height. Cf. infra 45a. The action of the poison was likened to the inner fire of burning; v. p. 349. Whose mode of execution was then as a rule by the sword: 'handed over' does...
... to serve all idols. On reaching Peor, she asked its priests, 'How is this worshipped'? They replied, 'People eat beets, drink strong drink, and then uncover themselves before it.' She replied, 'I would rather fall sick again than serve an idol in such a manner.' But ye, O House of Israel,9 were not so [as it is written, Slay ye every one his men] that were joined unto Baal Peor:10 ye were...
... CASTS A STONE AT MERCULIS19 [thereby serves it] — that is to say even if it is merely to bruise it. He said to them, 'Then I will go and remove it.' But they replied, 'Whether one casts a stone or removes it, he incurs guilt, because every stone thus removed leaves room for another.' MISHNAH. HE WHO GIVES OF HIS SEED TO MOLECH INCURS NO PUNISHMENT UNLESS HE DELIVERS IT TO MOLECH AND CAUSES...
... found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire.8 From this I know it only of his son or daughter. Whence do I know that it applies to his son's son or daughter's son too? From the verse, [And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man] when he giveth of his seed unto Molech [and kill him not: Then I will … cut him off.]9 Now the...
.... XX, 2-5: Whosoever be he … that giveth of his seeds to Molech … I will cut him off from among his people … And if the people of the land … kill him not: Then I will set my face against that man … and will cut him off. Once in Num. XV, 30f. But the soul that doeth aught presumptuously … the same reproacheth the Lord; and that...
... Zen Master Niskriya to give a good Yaa-Hoo hit to Joshu. Niskriya... (NISKRIYA IS DRESSED UP AS A ZEN MONK. IT FITS HIM VERY WELL! - ESPECIALLY SINCE HE CUT HIS HAIR VERY SHORT A FEW DAYS BEFORE. HE IS HESITANT, WHAT TO DO.) Give it without any fear. (NISKRIYA GETS UP.) Where is your staff? (HE PRODUCES A LONG WOODEN STAFF, TO EVERYBODY'S ASTONISHMENT.) Right! Have the staff. Good. Whom do you think...
... to hit? (NISKRIYA HITS WITH THE STAFF ON HIS OWN HEAD! OSHO LAUGHS AND SIGNALS TO HIM TO SIT DOWN AGAIN.) Good. The real way is not difficult, because there is no way. You are already where you have always been and will always be. What nonsense to talk about The Way! That's why I said that, although Joshu is second in the hierarchy of Zen he has not that magic, that touch. That has been monopolized...
... that the moment you start talking about the way, it becomes difficult. It becomes difficult because from here to here, there is no space for the way. If you are going somewhere else a way is possible - difficult or easy, it depends. But if you are not going anywhere, but simply being yourself, here and now... Joshu needs a good hit. By chance today Master Niskriya is dressed up exactly, but Joshu is...
... not here. But wherever Joshu is, and whoever the people are who believe in Joshu's enlightenment, Master Niskriya's hit will reach. I am using Master Niskriya's hit because I am a very nonviolent person; moreover, so lazy that I have dedicated my whole function of hitting people to Master Niskriya. And he really looks... He is not only dressed up, at this moment he is. It is another matter that the...
... exists not - only human beings. But the mind can play the game. The mind can say, 'I love humanity'... and this can become a trick to avoid loving human beings. You can hate human beings in the name of humanity. You can hate the real, and protect your-self in the symbol. People can go to war for symbolic reasons. Somebody has insulted your flag: you can go to war, you can kill people, and you can be...
... real thing; it is all symbolic - but that has become more important. Christians can kill Mohammedans, Mohammedans can kill Christians - in the name of god! Now can anything be more foolish? - in the name of god, killing god's people.... But the word 'god' is more important. The Bible is more important, not what is in it. The message is not important. It is as if the container has become more...
... important, and the content has lost all meaning. The Bible says, 'Love your enemies.' If somebody insults the Bible, you will kill him, because he has insulted it. So I give you this name so it becomes a reminder to you to never be befogged too much by the symbolical. Yes, it has to be used... it is utilitarian. You have to carry a passport, and on the passport is your citizenship - that you belong to...
.... But say! perhaps it is only if he kills [not merely strikes] them? — You surely cannot think so: for killing any other person he is decapitated, whilst for his father's murder he is [only] strangled! Now, this [answer] is correct on the view that strangulation is more lenient: but on the view that the sword is more lenient, what canst thou say? — But since it is written, He that smiteth...
... a man, so that he dies, shall surely be put to death:3 and also, or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die,4 it follows that whenever an unqualified smiting is mentioned, it does not mean slaying. Now, it is necessary that both 'He that smiteth a man' and 'whoso killeth any soul etc.'5 be written. For had the Divine Law written only, 'He that smiteth a man, that he die...
...', I should have thought that it applies to the slaying of an adult [ish]6 only, since such is himself bound by law, but not [to the slaying of] a minor; therefore the Divine Law writes, 'Whoso killeth any soul.' Whilst had the Divine Law written only. 'Who killeth any soul,' I should have thought that it applies even to a nefel7 or an 'eight months' child:8 therefore the former...
