בְּבֵית־יְ֭הוָה

This was one of the last films I watched with Sixto Enriquez Rivera, if not the last. If he was interested, he would sit up on the edge of his bed. Dad sat up for this movie and provided commentary. I sat next to him. It seemed like all of his past favorite movies were on late in life, like Rocky, The Godfather Trilogy, and Superman, but he didn't show much interest in them anymore, but The Way Home riveted us. He could still recite words from the Television Monitor, if the letters were large enough. He preferred Sunglasses over Eyeglasses. I posit he enjoyed seeing the light of being Mildly Visually Impaired. I also believe he wanted to keep the World Abstract.

LAZER BRODY: The Malbim explains the words, "One thing I ask of Hashem, that which I desire," to mean that Dovid Hamelech's one aspiration embodies all of his desires: To serve Hashem, to understand His ways, and to spend all his days in the House of Hashem, praying and learning Torah.


Achat sha'alti me'eit Adonai, otah avakesh (2x)
Shivti b'veit Adonai, kol y'mei chayay
Lachazot b'noam, b'noam Yah, u'l'vaker b'heikhalo (2x) 
One thing I ask, I ask of You, I earnestly pray for (2x)
That I might dwell in Your house all the days of my life
Knowng the beauty, the beauty of You, and to dwell in Your holy place! (2x)

CHARLES DAVID POWELL: This House believes that the 21st century belongs to China.

WIKIPEDIA: Wind chimes started to become modernized around 1100 B.C. after the Chinese began to cast bells. A bell without a clapper, called a yong-zhong, was crafted by skilled metal artisans and primarily used in religious ceremonies. Afterwards, the Chinese created the feng-ling, which is similar to today's modern wind bell. Feng-lings were hung from shrines and pagodas to ward off evil spirits and attract benevolent ones. Today, wind chimes are common in the East and used to maximize the flow of chi, or life's energy.

JAMES M DORSEY: Chinese access to the Syrian Mediterranean Sea ports of Tartus and Latakia is an attractive prospect for China’s multi-billion-dollar infrastructure, telecommunications and energy-driven initiative that seeks to link Eurasia to the People’s Republic. Closely connected to Chinese interest in Syrian ports is the exploration by China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd (CHEC) of the possible upgrading of the deep seaport of Tripoli, Lebanon to allow it to accommodate larger vessels. It would complement Beijing’s footholds in Greece’s Piraeus and the Israeli harbours of Haifa and Ashdod and echo Syria’s key position on the ancient Silk Road.

GAL EINAI: Asher is literally seeped in joy – so much so that everyone around him is infected with it.

LUIS ANTONIO GOKIM TAGLE

ISRAEL MIZRAHI: Jews in Kaifeng in the Hunan Province of China were descendants of the tribe of Asher. Haga argued that they were exiled to this area by the king of Ashur.

TIBERIU WEISZ: In my book The Kaifeng Stone Inscriptions, I traced the journey of a group of exiled Levites and Cohanim (priests) from Babylon (6th century BCE) to the Kingdom of Ferghana (north Afghanistan today) to the Western Regions and ultimately their migration into China in the second century BCE.
AARON REICH: Lacking access to Hebrew Bibles, they use Christian Bibles and simply disregard the New Testament.
VIRGINIA MILLANO EVANGELISTA FABRO~RIVERA: You're very busy, Anak. Thanks for the Eggs. Is it in the Picture, here?
alimentarium: Hard-boiled eggs are an important part of this meal along with bagels, lentils and other round-shaped food, as a reminder of resurrection and the circle of life. The food is intended to convey the fact that life must go on.
ANA BONNHEIM: Some Jews find it meaningful to follow a Jewish custom to mark the end of shiva: a walk around the block. This can tenderly symbolize mourners’ slow reentry into the outside world.


TIMOTHY WALTER BURTON: It was not something that was easy for me to talk about with anybody, but this script was a great way to present that feeling without having to talk about it.

ཏཱ་ལའི་བླ་མ་

PhoenixNo. I'm Llamaboy. 🦙🦸🏽‍♂️
TENZIN TSETEN: The Chinese authorities are said to have abducted the Dalai Lama’s chosen boy and his family members. Their whereabouts still remain shrouded in secrecy.

Wikipedia: Jambhala is the God of Fortune and Wealth


RICHARD TIFFANY GERE: Tame Your Mind.

CNN: A boy chosen as the Panchen Lama disappeared in 1995. China says he's now a college grad with a job and that neither he nor his family wished to be disturbed in their current normal lives.

VINCENT METTEN: Chinese authorities arbitrarily detained Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, a six-year-old boy recognised by the Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama — Tibetan Buddhism’s 2nd most important religious figure — and installed their own candidate instead.

WIKIPEDIA: The selection process for the Newly Resurrected Dalai Lama (ཏཱ་ལའི་བླ་མ་ meaning "Guro of the Ocean" or "Rabbi of the Ocean") may prove controversial, as the officially Communist Chinese government has expressed unusual interest in picking him and claims it has the right to do so. The Dalai Lama is believed by Buddhists to be able to pick the body into which he is reincarnated. It shall be very, very difficult for High Lamas to actually find him. Once identified, the successful candidate and his family are translated to Tibet where their son will study the Buddhist scriptures in order to prepare for spiritual leadership. The Dalai Lama could also be Feminine.

BROOKE SCHEDNECK: Tenzin Gyatso has stated is that if he dies outside of Tibet, his reincarnation would be located within the Diaspora.


GENEXOLEV ASHTIANI: Even Christ hates His churches to be pimped out.



LAHAV HARKOV: Its king’s official title is Dragon King.

Wayne Dupree: Meanwhile, China is pushing closer to the borders of Taiwan and, from what I hear, are thinking about making their way into Nepal and northern India.

ALLAN ANG: Chinese soldiers are the most discipline lot.5 stars

AlHaTorah.org: Josephus also relates how, even in his own time, it was a custom for people to take their household idols when emigrating. Ibn Ezra says more explicitly (and more radically) that Rachel (and the other wives and children) had learned idolatrous worship from her father and had not yet totally forsaken it.





ERIC KURLANDER: Nazis believed that Tibet was the home of an ancient Indo-Aryan people who had fled the destruction of their Ur-Aryan civilisation (Atlantis or Thule) after a series of floods. Otto Rahn's theories linked Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism and Indo-Aryan mythology with the paganism, Luciferianism and witchcraft practised across Germany in the Middle Ages, at places such as Brocken in the Harz mountains, the site of the Walpurgis Night scene in Goethe's Faust. Otto Rahn speculated that the Grail lay at the centre of a medieval cult of Luciferians – literally, devil worshippers – who practised a pagan, Ur-Aryan religion drawn from Tibet and Northern India via Persia.

Johannes Nugroho: all high lamas of Tibet must be approved by the Chinese government.



Caroline Anderson: Ask God to help Christians discern the biblical differences related to Buddhist terms and concepts so they can intelligently communicate the gospel (Prov. 2:2–3; 2 Tim. 2:7).

Thomas C. Fox: Buddhism does not affirm the existence of God. It has been described as an "atheistic" religion. Buddha was enlightened; Jesus was divine. That’s a big difference, isn’t it?


Ken Chitwood: a secular, clinical approach is not enough.

Juan R. Francisco, "A Note on the Golden Image of Agusan" (1963): It seems likely that the image is a goddess of the Buddhist pantheon, in the Mahayana group. It is related to the concept of a female Boddhisattva, and at the same time the counterpart of the Hindu goddess (Sakti), as a Tara (or wife of a Buddhist god), which is a peculiar development of Buddhism in Southeast Asia.


TAYLOR ECHOLLS: In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, followers will observe the death of a loved one by shaving their head.
STUART D. B. PICKEN: In Japanese Buddhism, the vows, which require strictness in life are taken on behalf of the deceased after death. "I take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sanga" is all they need say to become monks. Kaimyo is the term for the name a monk receives on ordination. The deceased is also given a posthumous name created by a priest.

"I take refuge in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" is all they need say to become monks.
