Shabbat - 15/08/5993 (4th Nov 2015)

much of the principals of Buddhism are based on observation, and these

observations can reveal a universal wisdom found in the bible. the greatest of
philosophers will never negate the battle which we call life, and can only define it
from the perspective of their point of observation.
yet Jesus Christs mission was accomplished by already accepting the fate of physical
death: His Fathers life flowed out like a river, showing the power of the invisible hand of
God in human affairs. a deeper wisdom you may call it, not a philosophy which can be
observed, but life itself from the creator, showing only Him alone as being good.

i chose these sayings of Bruce Lees, because each one

has an application in a Christians life, and all of them can be traced to a principal which
Christ taught. it has been said that many of Buddhas sayings have been said in the bible;
so Im doing the reverse! Galatians 3:24 ~wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to
bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Matthew 24:13 ~but he that shall endure unto the end, the same

shall be saved.
James 5:20 ~let him know, that he which
converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall
hide a multitude of sins.

John 14:6~Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Proverbs 23:7~

for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is
not with thee.

Acts 1:9~and when he had spoken these things, while they

beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
John 1:5 ~and the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 12:46 ~i am
come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in
darkness.

Psalm 94:1 ~ vengeance belongs to the Lord!

in the
bible, the fig tree is very prominent in teaching regarding (knowledge of) good and evil.
Jer 24:3 ~Then said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the
good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. Adam
and Eve, when after eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, saw that
they were naked, and joined fig leaves to make aprons (Gen 3:7). later, God made for
them clothes of animal skin (Gen 3:21), but it can be said that mans first attempt to cloth
himself was inadequate, until God provided real clothes for them. it can also be
perceived, that when Christ cursed the fig tree (Mat 21:19), that Pharisaic Judaism had
been proven inadequate to cover the sins of the people, and the nation was scattered;
although the Lord promises to gather them again (Eze 28:25). so religion and philosophy
is mans attempt at covering himself, but just as in example after example, like when God
provided himself a lamb for Abrahams sacrifice (Gen 22:8), or when Abel sacrificed the
lamb (Gen 4:4); it all points to the final sacrifice, when John the baptist proclaimed
Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (Jn 1:29). in Gods law,
shedding of blood is necessary to forgive sin (Ex 30:10, Mat 26:28, Heb 9:22).
in Buddhism, the Bodhi tree is also a fig tree, which Buddha sat under for six years until
he contacted Brahma, king of the gods, telling how people may find liberation from
suffering, through meditation and the study of wisdom. again, in Gen 3:6 ~ And when the
woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a
tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
because of Eve and Adams disobedience to God, suffering (through sin) came into the
world. Christ suffered on the cross, and resurrected to show Gods power over death, and
to give light to those who also suffer (Acts 26:23). 1 Peter 3:18 ~ For Christ also hath
once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to
death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Bodhi tree next to Mahabodhi temple,
where Buddha achieved enlightenment

by acknowledging we have broken Gods perfect laws (found in

Exodus 20) and by recieving Jesus Christ into our lives, who in the Hebrew tongue is
called Yeshua Messiah, we attain salvation through grace by faith in Gods finished work
on the cross, and inherit eternal life. No-one really knows if Bruce Lee gave his life to
Christ, but the sting of death will reach us all one day; will you rely on your good works

to attain heaven, or will you look to Jesus suffering for you on the cross?

told you figs were full of dead insects,
it turns outthey were right and you were
wrong. Indeed, figs do contain digested
wasps, which become trapped inside the
fruit during pollination. Without this gross

John 7:37 ~In the last day,
that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come
unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe
on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not
yet glorified.)
