Review:The baptism of the Holy Spirit (Think Neither Good Nor Evil)

"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." "What is truth?" Pilate asked. (John 18:37-38)
History of Roman governor Pilate
Pontius Pilate, who was appointed to the governor of the Roman province of Judaea by Emperor Tiberius in AD 26, is said to have been born in Samnite knight class lower-ranking noble Ponti family of southern Italy. He was enlisted as a vice commander (a military officer attached to consulate) and was promoted and appointed to the governor before 30 years old. Therefore he must have been quite excellent as both a consul and a military officer.
However, Ms Ann Wroe, the author of "Pilate: The Biography of An Invented Man," slams Pilate, "the embodiment of human weakness, an archetypal politician willing to sacrifice one man for the sake of stability."
Consuls belonged to Knight class, like Pilate, were mostly sent to the backward territories and engaged jobs, such as maintenance peace and order and collection of indirect taxes and the poll tax.

In accordance with convention, Pilate led Roman soldiers bearing standards with images of the emperor on them and entered Jerusalem. However, this move provoked great resentment among the Jews who denied the idolatry; a delegation of Jews traveled to Caesarea, where the official residence of the Roman ruler was, to protest the presence of the standards and call for their removal. After five days, Pilate sought to frighten the petitioners with the threat of execution by his soldiers, but eventually acceded to their request and removed the standards after seeing their determined refusal.
Some of the donations to the Temple in Jerusalem could be used legally in public works. Therefore, Pilate actively carried out irrigation project in Jerusalem with cooperation of the clergy. However the Jews clamored against this act, saying that he stole money from the temple treasury to construct an aqueduct to bring water into Jerusalem from a distance of about 40 km. Pilate ordered soldiers to put down the mob using sticks instead of swords.
At that time, riots and rebellions had occurred frequently in Judea. When a large-scale revolt occurred, he could ask the superior consul, the governor of Syria, who had the right to command a number of corps, to help. However, during the considerable period of Pilate's tenure of office, Syrian governor was absent. Therefore, he had to quickly handle multiple riots on his limited own troop.
He had to report to the emperor the issues related to the prestige of emperor and incidents threatened the authority of emperor. He also had to clarify the incidents that occurred in the provinces under his jurisdiction before the complaints were filed by others. Anxiety of Pilate, who had to manage these very difficult and sensitive issues just as a low class noble, is more than one can imagine.

Meet with Jesus
On Nisan 14, 33 C.E., the Jewish leaders brought a man, that is Jesus, who was accused pretending "the King of the Jews" by them, to Pilate in the early morning and asked him to sentence to death. Jewish court could process normal trial. The Sanhedrin could pass even the death sentence, however they had to obtain the governor's ratification for such sentence by them.
Pilate announced that he found no fault in the accused. (John 18:37-38, Luke 23:4) And upon learning that Jesus was from Galilee, Pilate sent him to Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee. After that he tried to release Jesus in accord with the custom of freeing a prisoner at each Passover festival.
Perhaps Jesus was supposed to be released at this point and to return to Galilee earlier than his disciples in the original scenario. (Mark 14:28,16:7, Mat 28:7,10) A consensus of this seems to have had made among the governor, the Herod royal family and the key leaders of the temple and the Sanhedrin. However an unexpected situation occurred. The crowd clamored for the release of Barabbas, a robber, murderer, and seditionist. (Luke 23:5-19) So he was getting nowhere but acceded to their wishes. He washed his hands with water and said, "I am innocent of this man's blood. It is your responsibility!" (Matthew 27:24)

Downfall
After a while, Pilate, who had obtained an information that a large number of Samaritans had gathered at Mount Gerizim, dispatched soldiers to prevent riot. Pilate was later removal from office resulted from complaints lodged by the Samaritans with Pilate's immediate superior, the governor of Syria, Vitellius. The complaint was about Pilate's slaughter of a number of Samaritans who were deluded by an impostor into assembling at Mount Gerizim in hopes of uncovering sacred treasures supposedly hidden there by Moses. Vitellius ordered Pilate to Rome to appear before Tiberius. However, Tiberius died in 37 C.E. while Pilate was still on his way to Rome. History gives no reliable data regarding his fate after his resignation of the governor. Pilate is said to have been obliged to commit suicide, have become a Christian or have spent the rest of his life returning home in southern Italy. (Source: Watch Tower)
The kingdom is within you and it is outside you.
One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Kingdom of God come?" Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of God isn't ushered in with visible signs. You won't be able to say, `Here it is!' or `It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:20-21)
Jesus also said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and it is outside you.
When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty." (Thomas 3)
How then we know ourselves as children of God?

Sequence of 4 star General Ming's renouncement of the world
There was a senior monk called HuiMing in Dongshan temple (or Huangmeishan temple) of Huangmei district, Qizhou, Hubei Province in China during ZhenGuan period (627-649) of Emperor Taizong, the heyday of the Tang dynasty. A senior monk means a monk who lives in the monastery more than 10 years. His secular surname was Chen and later he was called Zen Master MengShan HuiMing. Before becoming a monk, his title was the fourth rank general, which may correspond to Pilate, the governor of the Roman province of Judaea or a 4 star General of the modern US Armed Forces who serves as a commander of the International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces in Syria.
Now we may digress from the subject for a while. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty had no longer had famous warlords, when a peasant uprising occurred in Wagang (South suburbs of Huaxian in Henan Province). Thus Emperor Yang dispatched 25,000 heavily equipped soldiers led by two trusted aides, the commander of the imperial guards Liu Zhanggong and Palace Secretary Fang Ze to quell the riot. However, the government forces were defeated at the Battle of Shizi river (eastern part of Gongxian in Henan province). Not only more than half of the government forces were killed, but also their all latest weapons were deprived by the rebels. This became main cause of Sui dynasty's destruction. The vice-commander Fang Ze's rank in Palace was Junior Fourth Rank. Therefore the rank of the chief-commander Liu Zhanggong should have been at least Junior Fourth Rank or Senior Fourth Rank.

Therefore Chen HuiMing must have been a quite high-rank military officer, regardless of whatever he was Senior Fourth Rank General or Junior Fourth Rank General. Although fortitude and unsophisticated Chen HuiMing became a monk because he had got sick and tired of the palace politics and the military officer's job in which trickery Machiavellianism was rampant and he also had to have imposed exacting taxes sometime, he could not attain enlightenment even after more than ten years' practice in the monastery. So he was worrying endlessly.
Since Nothing's There Initially, Where Does the Dust Alight?
It was just around that time. The chief priest of Dongshan Temple Hongren (602-675), the fifth patriarch after Bodhidharma, one day told all his disciples to write a gatha (poem) on the temple southern passage wall, for him to chose the sixth patriarch.
Venerable Shenxiu (605-706), the head monk, soon wrote a gatha for Hongren, which read: "Body is the bodhi tree; heart is like a standing mirror bright. Strive to polish it constantly and let no dust alight."
Huineng (638-713), a young illiterate novice working for the rice mill in the temple, also composed a gatha and had it written on the wall next to Shenxiu's. It read as follows: "Bodhi is no tree, nor standing mirror bright. Since nothing's there initially, where does the dust alight?"
When Hongren came and saw it, he was very impressed. From then on Hongren received Huineng in his abode and expounded the Diamond Sutra to him. Hongren, having finished Huineng's intensive training, gave him a robe and begging bowl as symbols of the Dharma Seal of Sudden Enlightenment and ordered him to flee south in order to avoid the envy of others.
Knowing this and coming to himself, Venerable HuiMing, who had used to boast himself a fast runner like a streak of lightning, pursued HuiNeng immediately and caught up with him at the Dayuling Mountains which is the border of Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces.

Think Neither Good Nor Evil
Huineng saw HuiMing coming. He thought HuiMing, a warrior of unparalleled strength, must have pursued him to seize back the robe and begging bowl. He threw out the robe and bowl on a rock, and said, "This robe represents the Buddha's teaching. We can't compete for it. Take it. It's yours."
However, HuiMing asked HuiNeng, "I came for the Dharma, not for the robe. Please expound the Dharma for me."
Then HuiNeng said in a loud voice, "Think neither good nor evil. Before your parents were born, at that very moment, what was Venerable Ming's original face (your intrinsic nature)?"
Right then HuiMing sweated the whole body and came to enlightenment. He worshiped HuiNeng with tears in his eyes and asked again, "Besides the intimate words and meaning that struck home of a moment ago, is there any further intimate message?"
Huineng said, "If it were said to you, it wouldn't be intimate. If you turn around and reflect, what's intimate is not in my words but within you." (The Gateless Barrier Case 23)
If you return to the beginning, where the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1-2), in other words, return to the original face before the parents were born, you can say, "Holy am I alone throughout heaven and earth. Grass, trees and the domains of all living things, all attain buddhahood." It is the ultimate salvation. You can obtain eternal life and know that the kingdom is within you and it is outside you.

How is he, after his spiritual rebirth?
After his spiritual rebirth, if HuiMing had returned to the position of the fourth rank general in the central political arena where trickery Machiavellianism was rampant and exacting taxes were imposed, how would he have been?
ZhaoZhou CongShen (778-897), one of the great Zen masters during the later period of the Tang Dynasty in China, asked TouZi DaTong (819-914) regarding this, "How is it when a man who has died the great death returns to life?" TouZi replied, "He must not go by night: he must get there in daylight." (The Blue Cliff Record 41st Case: ZhaoZhou's Man Who Has Died the Great Death)
Zen Master YuanWu KeQin, who compiled "The Blue Cliff Record," gives a person, who studies this koan, pointers, "Where right and wrong are mixed, even the sages cannot know; when going against and with, vertically and horizontally, even the Buddhas cannot know."
Therefore, after sunset, do not wander in the darkness but illuminate the road with the flashlight and walk. You had better not to walk on thin ice, run on a sword's edge. However if you have to do such dangerous things, you should prepare well, even prepare sacrifice of your physical life and then perform them. Because you have already obtained the ultimate salvation and the eternal life through testifying, "Holy am I alone throughout heaven and earth. Grass, trees and the domains of all living things, all attain buddhahood."<To be continued.>

What is "Baptism with The Holy Spirit"?
According to the dialectic of the Gospel of John,
【Thesis】"A man can possess eternal life through accepting testimony of the Son of man and being baptized by him." (John 5:24)
【Anti-thesis】But "The one who comes from the earth cannot accept the testimony by one from heaven."(John 3:32)
How then can a man possess eternal life?
【Synthesis】"If you want to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, you can just go back to the word which was with God in the beginning (John 1:1) and certify that God is truthful. (John 3:33)"
When he said, "You are Huichao," Zen Master Fayan thrusted vivid Self in Huichao in front of his eyes. (P.171)

【SEAnews】Review:The baptism of the Holy Spirit (Guest and host are obvious) (vol.150926)

Review:The baptism of the Holy Spirit (Guest and host are obvious)

One day the head monks of the two halls had met and at the same moment each had given a shout. A monk asked Master LinJi, "Was there a guest and a host?" "Guest and host were obvious," replied Master LinJi. (LinJi Lu)
Jesus suddenly began to waver
Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey as the king of Israel. However, he suddenly began to waver and be troubled after being paid a visit by some Greeks and he said, "Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour." (John 12:27)
Thereafter he had open debates with Pharisees, Sadducees and Herodians in the temple. Then he held the Last Supper with his twelve apostles. However, Jesus' agony looks to have been growing more during these events and reached a climax in the prayer of Gethsemane and the screaming on the cross, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?--which means, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34, Matthew 27:46) Therefore, a situation different from the scenario Jesus had drawn, occurred after his entering Jerusalem. as the king of Israel.
The Church Movement was not monolithic
Why did such situation occur? The main cause seems to have been that the Crucifixion plan was prepared by various sects who struggled with each other. Although Jesus tried to carry out his own plan taking advantage of these struggles, the Church Movement itself, in which Jesus had determined to take the lead, was not monolithic. This movement constituted not only Hellenists who were familiar with the Greco-Roman culture, such as Luke from Macedonia and Barnabas from Cyprus, but also seems to have included people who had held the faith even closer to Jewish fundamentalism than Hebraists (Jews who spoke Hebrew fluently), for example, members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen-Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia. (Acts 6:9)

The Essenes opposed Temple priesthood
While the venue where Jesus and his Twelve Apostles' Last Supper took place is said to have been the meeting place of the Essenes who opposed temple priesthood, Jesus' younger brother James, who is said to have been a priest of the Nazarite, one of the fundamentalist sects, and to have entered into the holy areas of the Temple to function as "high priest" to his followers, seems to have had a close relationship with the Sadducees, a sect of priest class led by the high priest Caiaphas and his father-in-law Annas, the ex-high priest.
The sect of Essenes is said to have been organized by the supporters of Rabbi Hillel. He taught, "The love of God and the love of one's neighbor are one: that is the whole Torah," and was recognized as the highest authority among the Pharisees. Paul, who described himself a Pharisee, studied to Gamaliel, the grandson of Hillel and is said to have had relationship with members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen-Jews.

The origins of the Pharisees and the Sadducees
The origin of the Pharisees can be traced back to a group that questioned the legitimacy of the high priest and protested when Jason of the Oniad family was appointed to the high priest by the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Successors and the supporters of Jason, who was condemned as "evil priest" by them, was called the Sadducees.
These sects, which were incompatible as oil and water, seems to have had prepared different Crucifixion plan respectively toward the Passover of the year. Though Jesus was trying to carry out his own plan, the things were changing constantly and then a situation different from the scenario originally painted by Jesus might have occurred.
If you stand in the beginning where the Word was with God, and the Word was God, in other word, stand on the absolute axis, you can witness grass, trees and the domains of all living things, all attain buddhahood through out of past, present and future. Jesus was proud to have been sent to this world in order to convey this ultimate gospel and thought that he had been the protagonist and the scenario writer of Crucifixion plan. However, the relative world is too uncertain. Here today, gone tomorrow. Thus, even Jesus seems to have been faced with unexpected things and to have been in anguish.

Guest and host are obvious
Once upon a time DongShan LiangJie (807-869), the founder of the Soto School of Zen Buddhism, was making a pilgrimage with a schoolmate ShenShan SengMi along the mountain stream of Longshan (Mount Dragon) near Zhangsha City in Hunan province of China. DongShan spoke to ShenShan, "There must be hermits in this deep mountains," being fascinated by a spectacular view of the abyss.
Just as he expected, when they went two or three km, an emaciated old man beckoned them and called, "There is even no trail in this mountain, where on earth are you going?"
DongShan replied, "You say 'There is even no trail.' How then did you come here?" "I was born neither of cloud or water," the old man answered. DongShan asked, "How long have you lived here?" The old man said, "I have already forgotten such as spring and autumn. (I'm timeless.)" Then DongShan said, "Which is the first you or this mountain?" "I don't mind," the old man shrugged off. DongShan asked persistently, "Why you don't mind?" The old man replied, "I am not the ragtag and bobtail in this world such as you." DongShan retorted without losing, "Why then did you dwell in this mountain?" The old man replied, "I saw two clay oxen fighting until they entered the ocean. Since then there has been no news of them."
After hearing this answer, DongShan stood up straight and entreated him to preach. He visited the hermitage of the old man together with ShenShan and did the following questions and answers with the old man (Zen Master LongShan).
DongShan: How is the guest within the host? (How is the guest's view of the host?)
LongShan: Green Mountain covers white clouds
DongShan: How is the host within the host? (How is the host's view of the host?)
LongShan: For many years do not go out.
DongShan: How far between the host and the guest?
LongShan: Waves of the Yangtze River Water.
DongShan: What word is there when the guest and the host see each other?
LongShan: Pure wind is blowing under the bright moon.
After finishing the questions and answers, DongShan asked the old man let him stay there. Because he wanted to study more from the old man. However, the old man smiled and said, "When I live in this thatched hut which has been isolated from the past, present and future, all things are illuminated by the God light, and become dead calm. Thus I can be immersed in the frontier of nirvana. It should not be viewed as pros and cons. It should be stopped to pry into earthborn affairs. That is the heart of the secluded life."
[Recorded Sayings of Dongshan]
Jesus' different instructions
Jesus initially instructed his disciples to return to Galilee after his crucifixion. (Mark 14:28,16:7, Mat 28:7,10) However, according to the Acts of the Apostles, Jesus gave a new instruction, "Stay in Jerusalem," after the Resurrection. (Acts 1:4)
At the Last Supper, Jesus, who had originally planned to return to Galilee earlier than his disciples, told Judas Iscariot his intention to be crucified as initially planned, even though it was impossible for him to return to Galilee after the Crucifixion. Then Judas immediately reported it to the high priest Caiaphas who had lived in next door to the venue of the Last Supper.

Little mentioned the mainstream of Jerusalem Church
Even after the Primitive Church led by James the Less, the brother of Jesus, was established hard on the heels of the Crucifixion, the factions seem to have continued to struggle with each other. According to "The Acts of the Apostles," while the group led by Peter and John, seems to have based their activities on the meeting place of the Essenes and involved in missionary work, James the Less, and other younger brothers of Jesus, such as Matthew, Simon and Judas, who seem to have been certified as the legitimate lineage of the High Priest representing both the Davidic royal family as well as a priestly Aaronic Lineage, were unlike to have frequently entered into the meeting place of the Essenes who had opposed Temple priesthood. This may be one of the reasons that the Acts of the Apostles little mentions their (Jesus' brothers) activities. These disciples, who constituted the mainstream of Jerusalem Church, seem to have based their activities in the temple and have played a major role in establishment of liturgical of Church, such as "The Lord's Prayer."
The Acts of the Apostles not only little mentions activities of the mainstream of Jerusalem Church led by James the Less, but also describes them as "savage wolves" citing the words of Paul. (Acts 20:29) However, it is possible that James who seems to have had a profound influence in the entire religious community of Jerusalem, might have exercised his influence behind following incidents.
After execution of Jesus, the group led by Peter and John based their activities on the meeting place of the Essenes just behind the High Priest residence and immediately started the missionary work. They were not only allowed to frequently enter the temple but also given opportunity to testify in Sanhedrin. And James also seems to have exercised his influence behind the episode that Peter escaped from the prison with an angel's help.
The two factions within the mainstream, that is, the group of the Nazirite led by James the Less and his brothers and the other group led by Peter and John (the former disciples of John the Baptist) carried out their activities in the inside and outside of the temple respectively as the two wheels of the Jerusalem church. This appears to be the main reason for the Jerusalem Church to realize a great success, such as, the enrollment of its inauguration day reached as many as 3,000. However, such success also resulted in jealousy of other factions. And non-mainstream factions of the Jerusalem Church, for example, the former disciples of John the Baptist and the Essenes except Peter, Andrew and John, faced persecution and James the Greater and Stephen fell sacrifice to it. However, James the Less seems not to have exercised his enormous influence to save them. And this may be another reason that the Acts of the Apostles little mentions Jesus' brothers' activities.
Meanwhile, the Gnostic group, such as Thomas, Philip, etc. seems to have been shy away from the idea with strong political color as such "calling back the scattered children of God, to bring them together and revive Israel" from the beginning.<To be continued.>

What is "Baptism with The Holy Spirit"?
According to the dialectic of the Gospel of John,
【Thesis】"A man can possess eternal life through accepting testimony of the Son of man and being baptized by him." (John 5:24)
【Anti-thesis】But "The one who comes from the earth cannot accept the testimony by one from heaven."(John 3:32)
How then can a man possess eternal life?
【Synthesis】"If you want to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, you can just go back to the word which was with God in the beginning (John 1:1) and certify that God is truthful. (John 3:33)"
When he said, "You are Huichao," Zen Master Fayan thrusted vivid Self in Huichao in front of his eyes. (P.171)
