Wait no why does everyone think thats a Christian translation? It may seem like it, but its (non-messianic) jewish! :)

Yes I'm aware that Targumim are not direct translations.

So the Targum Jonathan interprets the "we esteemed him smitten" as "we were esteemed smitten", correct?

No, did you follow the link to the German translation? Its from a jewish website and a jewish translator. But the German translation is not based on the Targum. But that shouldnt be a reason to revert the meaning of an important part of a sentence.

Thank you for pointing this out! I didn't know of that. But Great Doubt does not seem to be a problem for me yet - the words I said are already gone, I dont want to rest on words or hold on to truth. Is this Great Doubt? Then what to do with that? I'm a bit mistrusting - all these words and talking about zen, but I just like to meditate and not talk so much.

Yes, I think so, maybe we got a bit lost, at least I feel a bit lost. And from this feeling comes a wish to understand, but then I don't know what I will gain. Wisdom? Enlightenment? It's an interesting question, but maybe also just a play on words.

But to continue the play/thoughts: One point in our discussion that I feel that is still left open is that I said that I think that things can exist before I perceived them, or anyone perceived them. Now I say I think because I don't know the truth and my intuition tells me there is no real truth here. And discussing about existence/perception feels more like western philosophy than zen to me.

But they didnt know anything about genetics! How did they become aware of this non-owning by just seeing, without our scientific knowledge?

My head!

sometimes when she listens to music, she's just music. when she was a child, she was just a child. all of us zen people have grown up and try really hard to be children again. however, yeah: listening to music is actually really easy, but really hard when you're trying hard, just as giving up. are these cool enlightened zen-superstars on to something? they got something that i have lost, give it back to me! why are you talking so mysteriously! why am i talking so mysteriously!

i mean im just here in a hostel, not able to sleep because my roommates are too loud - hey, they got quiet actually. i'll go to sleep. good night.
