Notes from my class back in "Buddha and Christ"

Biblical Studies;
Tet - Tov = Good.
Tihar = purity, brilliance
         - Moses/Jesus (at one time each) were shinning in light.
Yud - Marching fourth. Rising up. Moving out (e.g. leaving from Egypt...)

The kingdom of God; people thought this is what Hebrew theology was about.

God will govern the earth as well as the heaven...

Only thing you can do is to wait. and to patiently prepare for the moment.

Some are ready. Some are not. "Be alway ready, and be always prepared".

The reality is that day by day we're forwarding towards the death.
-People thought Jesus was hope.
-God had sent Jesus down to make them realize...

Kinship and death.
-Entering to Jerusalem.
-The necessity of human king faded away,,,as Jewish group needed one ruler, that is, God.

Buddha...
Shakamuni Buddha, Bodhisattva; inter-relation to temptation, kinship.
Before preaching about enlightenment, temptation appeared, as Mara, the god well known in India,
to the Buddha who was reaching to the stage of God.

Mara = representing the God of divinity, of death and desire, as to reborn, death. ..

Mara=causes, noises, decesase, and all kinds of annoying things.

Second temptation of Buddha is that sexual encounter, beautiful ladies...!

Lastly, the end of temptation by Mara was the vision of Armies. The vision of destruction.
During the temptation, the hands of Buddha were touching the ground, the earth, as he asks for testament.

The earth would remember unchangingly about things he declared.

Siddhartha:
Temptation (Legends, and its relation to...)
When read Gospels, try to focus on the transition. Read between the lines.

Temptation - helping and offering to make a new realization, to experiment new self.

Because of sins, we do not see the reality clearly any more. Temptations offer to see it clearly.

3 folds; where were 3 folds in Matthews? Bread, Test, Desert.
For Hebrews, desert reminds the liberations of Egypt and stopped at the desert for 40 days.

Bread - One does not live by bread alone but by the words that come out from the mouth of God.

Jesus understands himself as a king. Not worldly king. The authority that was questioned until his last days.

Jesus proclaimed what is powerful in this reality of God.
