Sumber: Tempat Diskusi SiuTao.com URL: http://siutao.com/forums/ Leon: Pak Sammy yth, Rupanya anda bener-bener seneng pleset-plesetan ya ... Sammy Lee: "The Dao exists as one. One exists as two. Two exists as three. And three create everything" -- Quoted from "Translation of Lao Zi, Tao Te Ching" by Gia Fu Feng and Jane English. (in Mandarin the word used here is "zao", ..... Leon: Dari buku "Lao Tsu , Tao Te Ching" (not "Lao Zi, Tao Te Ching" as claimed by Sammy as Pin Yin standardization) translated by GIA-FU FENG AND JANE ENGLISH terbitan Vintage Book Edition, August 1989. (Published in the United States by Vintage Books, a division of Random House, Inc., New York, and simultaneously in Canada by Random House of Canada Limited, Toronto. Originally published, in different form, by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., in 1972), tertulis pada sebagian chapter FORTY-TWO sebagai berikut: The Tao begot one One begot two Two begot three And three begot the ten thousand things. The ten thousand things carry yin and embrace yang They achieve harmony by combining these forces ..... Berikut adalah note/comment dari penulisnya untuk chapter 42 From the One the universe is created and at all levels of the world all phenomena are the result of the harmonization of two opposing forces. The wise understand how to live in correspondence with these forces. The foolish identify with one force and are defeated by the counterforce. This is "violence." The wise do not seek to triumph in this way. Dan bandingkan dengan terjemahan R.L. Wing dalam bukunya THE TAO OF POWER, The Aquarian Press, United Kingdom 1986: KNOWING POLARITY The Tao produced the One The One produced the Two The Two produced the Three The Three produced All Things All Things carry Yin and hold to Yang; Their blended Influence brings Harmony. ....... Berikut adalah komentarnya: This is the most penetrating and succinct of Lao Tzu's descriptions of the formation of the universe. What he does not touch on, in this passage, is the Absolute that produced the Tao. The Absolute stands outside of space and time --- outside of the universes it creates. The Tao produced the One: temporal/spatial reality. The One produced the Two: the opposite charges of positive and negative (yin and yang). The Two produced the Three: matter, energy, and the physical laws that bind them together. From these three came the existence of All Things in the universe. All Things are interconnected and interdependent, and from this concept comes the behavior of polarity: When something increases, something else decreases. Thus Evolved Leader who wish to endure do not elevate themselves; and those who would like to live out their days are never violent. Jelas toh apa artinya dari Tao melahirkan Satu, Satu melahirkan Dua, Dua melahirkan Tiga, Tiga melahirkan Semua Benda. Artinya sangat-sangat mendalam, tidak seperti yang anda pikirkan terlalu sederhana dan, itu dia !, terlalu dipaksakan agar sesuai dengan keinginan anda. It turned out that the people could not be fooled. Pada buku terjemahan R.L. Wing ini disertakan pula tulisan mandarin-nya dan huruf yang dipergunakan adalah SHENG (produce, beget, menghasilkan, memperanakkan, melahirkan) dan BUKAN "ZAO" !!! (coba tengok: http://www.chinapage.com/lz42.gif ) Hi Shan Mao, mohon klarifikasi anda, apakah Tao Zao Ie, Ie Zao Erl ataukah Tao Sheng Ie, Ie Sheng Erl. Dear Sammy, you now have new homework for 'utak atik getuk' the 'Sheng' character to reflect your opinion of Adam creation by your God. Sammy: This creative power was actually demonstrated by Christ when .... Leon: Did it really happen ? Could you proof it ? Ha8x you really like frog under the shell, try to read the Atisha story, the Mogalana story and see how powerfull he is, even he could back alive after chopped into pieces !!! Read the story of Chang Tao Ling, see how powerfull he is, even can create and put nails into your stomach !!! (Up to now, many Taoist still have this power !). Spend your time to visit Thailand, India, and Tibet. Don't forget to Wu Tang Shan in China. Sammy: Now listen to what Lao Zi said about Dao (The Word, Truth or Way) "Something mysteriously already made, Existing [living] before heaven and earth In the silence and the void, Standing alone and unchanging, Ever present in constant [cyclic] motion. Perhaps He is the ource of myriads of things. I do not know His name. Call Him Dao, For lack of a better word, I call Him "the Almighty" (This is quoted from "Translation of Lao Zi , Tao Te Ching, by Gia Fu Feng and Jane English, Toronto Vintage Books, Random House, Inc. 1989), Ch. 25, p. 25. Leon: Look at the ch25 (translated by GIA-FU FENG AND JANE ENGLISH) exactly word by word quoted: Something mysteriously formed, Born before heaven and earth. In the silence and the void, Standing alone and unchanging, Ever present and in motion. Perhaps it is the mother of ten thousand things. I do not know its name Call it Tao For lack of a better word, I call it great Being great, it flows. It flows far away. Having gone far, it returns. Tao follows what is natural. Disini Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English (serta semua translator lainnya) SAMA SEKALI TIDAK MENGGUNAKAN ISTILAH HIS / HIM / HE UNTUK TAO, TAPI MENGGUNAKAN ISTILAH IT. Apa anda mengerti perbedaan IT dan HE ? Jadi jangan diplesetkan jadi "he/him" yang mana anda kemudian arahkan menjadi your God ! It's a large scale deception of the people man!!!. May God forgive you. The first two lines in this passage describe the Taoist view of the period shortly after the beginning of the universe when the Tao came in existence but all matter and energy remained one cohesive and undifferentiated substance. Theoretical physicists, searching for a single interaction, or unified field, at the heart of the universe, might describe this state as one that existed seconds before the Big Bang. In the first billionth of a second after the beginning of the Big Bang, the four forces appeared (gravity, strong nuclear force, electromagnetism, and weak nuclear force), and energy and matter, time and space, were differentated. Lao Tzu calls the actions of the physical forces throughout the universe and in the social patterns of human beings, the Tao. The term Great in this passage refers to the Tao and its cyclic movements through reality. Because it goes far, it returns - or, given enough time, history repeats itself. The movements of the Tao follow the laws of the physical forces, and the Power (Te) of Taoism lies in perceiving and understanding the manifestations of those laws in society. Dari penjelasan di atas tersebut, jelaslah bahwa Lao Tzu adalah seorang yang rationalis, evolutionalis dan sama sekali bukan creationalis. Semuanya terjadi sesuai dengan hukum alam dan berjalan secara alamiah, SAMA SEKALI TIDAK DENGAN 1-2-3 TERJADILAH!!!. Tulisan2nya pada Tao Te Ching ini sangat mendalam artinya BAHKAN Mr. Sammy Lee telah berhasil menemukan indikasi bahwa TERNYATA ALKITAB SEBAGIAN ADALAH TAFSIRAN TAO TE CHING !!! A L K I T A B T E R N Y A T A T A F S I R A N D A R I TAO TE CHING !!! Demikian hebatnya Tao Te Ching, sampai Jesus sendiri banyak memakainya dalam penulisan Alkitab. (Ini adalah kesimpulan saya dari diskusi ini mengenai Tao Te Ching yang dihubungkan dengan Alkitab) Sammy: Here is another quotation from the same book: "I do not know whose Son He is, He was before any king [born into the world]." -- Ibid, ch. 4, p. 6 ....... He is the Dao (Tao) meaning the Word, the Way or the Truth, who created everything. Leon: Lagi2 plesetan, coba pak Sammy perhatikan kutipan dari buku yg sama ch. 4, p.6. (quoted exactly word-by-word): I do not know from whence it comes. It is the forefather of the gods. Again the translator always use "It" instead of "He". Look at this another translation "I do not know whose offspring it is, This image in front of the source" As Lao Tzu points out in this passage, the TAO IS NOT THE SOURCE OF THE UNIVERSE --- the Absolute --- but rather it is THE WAY THAT EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE CHANGES AND EVOLVES. Like a mathematical formula, the Tao is both empty and userful; and like a formula, it can be used again and again. The Tao permeates nature. It moves through the world, leveling the extremes --- smoothing and harmonizing --- and evolving the universe and All Things in it. Menurut para ahli (katanya): Kemungkinannya adalah bahwa Alkitab sebagai 'salah satu' rekaman sejarah masa purba yang diturunkan secara lisan (apa sudah ada tulisan pada 6000 th yang lalu ?) serta tercampur legenda dan tidak lepas dari human error, mungkin dapat dicari pendekatannya melalui huruf/karakter China yang juga merupakan 'salah satu' rekaman sejarah kuno China dimana huruf2 tsb merupakan satu2nya (???) huruf kuno didunia yang sampai sekarang masih dipakai. Jadi jika plesetan pada huruf tersebut sesuai dengan Alkitab maka dikatakan bahwa huruf Tionghoa perteguh alkitab. Tapi jika SEBALIKNYA ? Apakah anda sudah siap mental untuk mengakui bahwa alkitab anda salah karena tidak sesuai dengan bukti sejarah yang otentik yang tercantum dalam chinese ideogram ? (Jangan lupa, huruf2 China berjumlah sekitar 50,000 karakter, pasti ada yg bisa di-utak-atik-gatuk agar merupakan penyangkalan terhadap Alkitab) Jadi berbesar hatilah dan terimalah kenyataan bahwa ada kebenaran dalam alkitab tapi juga ada kesalahan2 dan perumpamaan2 yang tidak bisa ditafsirkan secara harfiah.

Sumber: Tempat Diskusi SiuTao.com URL: http://siutao.com/forums/ Hallo Leon08, Nah begitu donk manfaatkan kelebihan anda dalam diskusi ini, sekarang baru klop tuh, Leon08 menguliti kebohongan Samseng Lee dari bahasa INGGRIS nya, saya menguliti kebohongan Samseng Lee dari bahasa MANDARIN nya. Ya jelas donk harus pakai kata "SHENG" ini baru sesuai dengan TAO TEK CHING, ya harap maklum aja, si Samseng itu kan nggak faham bahasa MANDARIN ! Makanya saya percaya dengan pengakuan sdr RAHMAT HIDAYAT yang mantan gembala itu ! Dari pengakuan beliau saya bisa mengambil kesimpulan bahwa semua tulisan2 Sammy Lee (Samseng Lee) itu memang sengaja mau membohongi orang2 Tionghoa diseluruh dunia ............. bahaya sekali hai Sammy ........... anda bisa kualat 7 turunan lho! Satu lagi buat moderator atau taoyu2 lainnya, sebaiknya semua diskusi tentang topik ini dicetak ulang dan disebarkan ke semua taoyu2 yang belum sempat baca, supaya tidak kena tipu oleh maksud jahat Sammy itu. Salam hangat TAO. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Milis Kelenteng - Quan Shui URL: http://lists.quanshui.org Posting, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
