I think you are confusing me with someone else on this thread. I didn't write anything about the Bible. I merely pointed out that it takes heroic stretching to see the Buddhist view of life after death somehow be twisted into "judgement day". I claim it can not be, and in the specific posting you replied to point out that there is "no judge" in Buddhism, which is quite different from the Monotheistic religions.
No big deal.
Your reference to "judge" necessarily dips into the stream of Western consciousness and religious exigesis.
So, true, there's "no judge" in Buddhism ~ except there's certainly a pantheon of gods in the underlying Hinduism ~ and forces of nature in some of the other traditions that've gotten sucked into the Buddhist intellectual maelstrom.
Guess it's just one of those questions no one gets to ask ~ kind of like asking Zen devotees why it is they seek to find the Scripture Within without first asking themselves why it is they even know of the concept of Scripture. No one asks that one either.
Well, I do ~ because it definitely ties into the historic question of why the Yakuts/Sakha actually lost their knowledge of reading and writing ~ while, for centuries, maintaining their own annals from ancient times ~ when they lived in Nepal and ruled India.
Zen's creation certainly seems to dovetail nicely with the history of the Yakuts/Sakha if not with a theory of logical progression in a broadspectrum belief system.
So, I won't ask the question of "where's the judge who makes the decisions" about getting off the Wheel of Life.
