For last class, we read about Maimonides. Since we didn't meet, I'll just post my own questions. If anyone feels strongly about their own, though, by all means, share.
Factual: Was Maimonides Christian, Jewish, or Muslim?
Discussion: Do we make and follow laws as an organization/control system for our own human needs, or to please some higher power?
On Zen:
ReplyDeleteF:The two main schools of Zen, Lin-chi and Ts'ao-tung, focused on the koan and __________, respectively.
D: In Ikkyu's famous dream, a skeleton told him, "Memories flee and are no more. All are empty dreams devoid of meaning." He then wonders, "What is not a dream? Who will not end up as a skeleton?" What do you think?
I think we make laws for our communities own safety and our own safety. I think both go hand in hand because laws are for everyones wellbeing and that's often what religions laws address
