Best Answer

They are King Wen and his son, the Duke of Zhou, and Chiang Tzu-ya who was Prime Minister to both King Wen and his son King Wu. King Wen and the Duke of Chou co-authored the I Ching, and Chiang Tzu-ya authored The Six Secrets of War. They were all significant players in the overthrow of the Shang Dynasty and the origination of the Chou Dynasty in 1046 BCE. They are regarded as exemplars of the social ethics advanced by Confucius

Why has Judaism not recognized anyone as a prophet since the construction of the second temple of Jerusalem?

In viewing the history of the Jewish people, we can distinguish various epochs. These include the time of the Forefathers, the Judges, the Prophets, the Sages of the Mishna, the Gaonim of the Babylonian Yeshivot, and more. The end of an old epoch and beginning of a new one is invariably linked to a concept which states that earlier generations of our Sages tend to be on a higher spiritual level than the later ones (Talmud, Shabbat 112b). Once every three or four centuries, it becomes apparent to the greatest Torah-scholars that they, collectively, can no longer compare to the previous recent generations, and a new era has begun. The end of prophecy marked one such palpable transition. In addition, from Second-Temple times and onward, none of the Sages claimedprophecy, since they were honest people and they knew that what the Prophets had experienced was no longer happening.Within a couple of decades after the last visitations of prophecy, the Sages convened a synod known as the Men of the Great Assembly, and they closed the canon of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). This was around 340 BCE.


What are the three main groups that made up the jewish sanhedrin?

scribesphariseessadduceesAnswer:The above answer needs clarification.1) The scribes and the Pharisees are the same thing.2) Sadducees were among the Sanhedrin only for a relatively brief period of several decades of turmoil during the Second Temple period, after Alexander Yannai killed many Torah-sages (see Talmud, Kiddushin 66a). Other than that time, the Sanhedrin consisted only of the leading Torah-sages. (The word "pharisees" is a corruption [by Josephus] of a Hebrew word and is not used in traditional Torah-sources.)

Which group of Jews led the fight to resist roman rule?

It was the group of Jews lead by Shimon Bar-Kokhba, around 132 CE.Answer:The group who fought Roman rule in 68 CE were the Zealots, led by Abba Sikra. They are mentioned in the Talmud (Gittin 56a) as being headstrong and irresponsible. The Torah-Sages cautioned them against taking action, but to no avail (ibid). Two generations later, it was Shimon Bar Kokhba who led an ill-fated rebellion against the Romans (135 CE), against the counsel of most of the Torah-Sages. In both cases, myriads of Jews were killed, thanks to the rebels' having ignored the Torah-sages.

What are the ethical teachings of Zen Buddhism?

They are no different from the ethical teachings of other buddhist sects. The basic idea is that human beings are dissatisfied and troubled because their lives embody the three poisons of greed, hostility and delusion. The way to live well is to replace them with clarity, insight, and present-moment awareness because these three lead to abiding peace and ease. Zen Buddhists take refuge in the Three Treasures (namely, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha) and resolve to avoid evil, to do good, and to liberate all sentient beings. They endeavor to emulate the way that sages live. So, how do sages live? Well, sages do not kill, but they cherish all life. Sages do not take what is not given, but they respect what others have. Sages do not misuse sexuality, but they are caring and responsible. Sages do not lie, but they speak the truth. Sages do not cause others to abuse alcohol or drugs, nor do so themselves, but they keep their minds clear. Sages do not speak of the faults of others, but they are understanding and sympathetic. Sages do not praise themselves and disparage others, but they work to overcome their own shortcomings. Sages do not withhold spiritual or material aid, but they give them freely where needed. Sages do not indulge in anger, but they practice forbearance. Sages do not revile the Three Treasures, but they cherish and uphold them. .
