Relation between problems of society and spiritual dormancy

Benzion — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:29:03 +0000

Country's government flooded with individuals without any moral principles, their actions dictated not by the goodness for their people but by the profit they can make for their pockets and their power grab increase. Court system, for anybody who got across it, leaves a smell of stench as if the system lost any patterns of common sense (due to the service of the corruption) long ago ... Each of these social diseases (and many more not mentioned here) can be recognized in the daily news and can be topics for a detail analysis in their own right. But this article will focus on the relation between these phenomena and the spiritual status of humanity today.

Judaism and Buddhism: Criticism of Blindly Following Tradition

Benzion — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:05:51 +0000

Just as God is One - the Truth is One. It shines through all revelations, through all the cultures and all languages although it is covered by the diversity of the traditions. All the ancient religions established and accumulated traditions over many centuries. All the living revelations of the world prophets became buried under many traditions of rituals and commentaries of the "guardians" of their respective religions. The danger of losing the true meaning, the Divinely inspired message, which was at the core of the given tradition, became apparent to some individual brightest minds. Here we provide two quotes from two great masters of spirituality. One is Jewish Rabbi Bahya Yoseph Ibn Paguda who lived in 11th century Spain. Another quote from Buddha as referred to by Buddhist Monk Walpola Sri Rahula who lives in our days in Buddhist Monastery in Ceylon.

Kedoshim: What is Holiness?

Benzion — Sat, 02 May 2009 13:52:29 +0000

You must be Holy since I am God your Lord and I am Holy. (Leviticus, 19:2) What does it mean? Is it for individual or for the nation as a whole? There is similar guidance here towards the Divine that can be found in every religious scripture in the world - the intended qualities of men to be able to evolve towards the holiness. But then we encounter the exclusive phenomenon, Divinely decreed, which makes Jewish theology different from other religions.

Delusions of modern day Judaism

Benzion — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:51:35 +0000

Before I proceed I have to highlight my appreciation for the most important heritage which is preserved by Jewish tradition over all the millenniums - that is the importance of Torah and other books of Tanach. Even though in practical terms these pearls of Divine wisdom were overshadowed by imposing of Talmud, it was this reverence of Torah which allows us to discover the Truth where it was planted by God.

The Real Exodus: From Misconceptions to the Divine Lesson

Benzion — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 15:07:41 +0000

From generation to generation Jews celebrate the unparalleled event in human history recorded in our Torah as a Divine intervention aimed at giving us freedom from the bondage of slavery. But is it really so? With Divine help I want to bring the reader's attention to the text of Torah and see for yourself that this idea is too short and truncated compared to the real Divine Lesson. With Divine Help I will try to reveal all the depth of the lesson for Israel, for all peoples, for individuals and for all times. The same story, yet some of you may realize - you never knew it before...
