About the Author
Shi Taixu (1890-1947), whose Dharma name is Weixin, nicknamed Beihua, was born in Chongde, Zhejiang. Cultivating Buddhism advocated Mahayana Buddhism and Humanistic Buddhism. He founded Wuchang Buddhist College, Minnan Buddhist College, Chongqing Han-Tibetan Teaching Institute, and founded the Chinese Buddhist Association. His ambition is immortal. In promoting the Dharma and protecting the teachings in modern times, Xugong must be the first to be promoted. There are six million words in “The Complete Works of Master Taixu”.
When I recalled Mr. Yu, it was late in the spring and the sun was setting, and I was tired of playing. I lingered in front of the old man’s knees. I heard him talk to each other and said: In the past, there was a scholar, a woodcutter, and a fisherman; the scholar was in the city, and the woodcutter In the mountains, fishermen live in the river. Once they meet each other, the fisherman’s fish is cooked with the woodcutter’s salary, and the wine brought by the scholars will drink together. After three cups, all worries will be forgotten.
The scholar said: I have no or the same Cao Cao industry. Today’s Lianghui is almost not easy to get. Everyone knows what they say, and Zuo Yixing! Please start as a servant and advocate for the second king. Today we look up at a round of impressive and high-hanging people, it is not the Japanese almost? The two kings know that the sun hangs impressively high in the sky, and also know where the sun comes from and where it enters! The servant rises up to distinguish the color, watching the rising and rising of the sun, gradually rising and rising, coming out of the east corner of the city, and shining the clear light to illuminate my room; at dusk, watching the sun sinking down, entering the west corner of the city , back to the afterglow to cover my window. There has been no difference for decades, and my husband can be said to be very experienced and capable. What is obvious and easy to see before, the two kings know, shouldn’t it be different? The woodcutter sneered at it, as if he was delusional. Xu Jin said: From what I have seen, it is not the case. On the day of the husband, Yu Guxin saw him go out of the east of the mountain and enter the west of the mountain in the evening. Woodcutters and scholars are constantly arguing with each other, and they are eclectic fishermen. The fisherman said, “Xu dare not agree with what I said about the two kings.” I only know that the sun is so natural, and the dawn emerges from the east of the great river. At night, I went to the west of the great river and entered. I don’t know the others. I have seen it with my own eyes. The truth exists. Although there are different opinions, I don’t want to hear about it. So the three of them, each is right, each is wrong, citing evidence to tell the truth, the debate is not over, and they don’t feel old, the feelings of mutual understanding, one change becomes the trend of enemies, and they parted without joy. Yan.
Yu Yi went to the roots of his ears and went deep into the field, and he has not forgotten it for twenty years. Scholars in today’s world, there are many different theories, and the twins of unreasonable opinions, the complexity of thoughts, the complexity of ideals, the mystery of exploration, the vastness of exploration, beyond the mysterious, into the wonderful, each sticks to its own experience, each has its own evidence What is said is bizarre, confusing and chaotic, and the brain is full of blood, the eyes are dazzled, and I don’t know what it is for a long time. Take the example of the old man’s talk, although it is unavoidable to imitate, considering the differences between the past and the present, the east and the west are different, and those who are paranoid about what they see are right and wrong. What? The second thing I said is that this is not enough for the scholars of today, and I still dare not say it for myself. I will have preposterous remarks. Therefore, I want the world to think that my remarks are preposterous and I will listen to them, but I will use my ears .
Alas! Is it a scholar who lives in the city? I am the woodcutter who lives in the mountains? The fisherman of my river dwelling? Are we all? Are we all wrong? I honestly can’t tell myself. I don’t know who the old man will be in the future, who will be the rest, so that he can help him talk about the flowers before the flowers and the moon and the tea after drinking? Although the priests, the woodcutters, and the fishermen all dared to be self-righteous, the rest did not dare to be self-righteous and would seek to be trusted by the world. Is it different from other scholars, woodcutters, and fishermen?
The legal person Tegal tried to sing the doctrine of skepticism, thinking that none of the ancient and modern theories are credible, and they are not included in the list of doubts. They are weighed by experience and judged by knowledge. ; The cover is the origin of the experience school. Is the theory held by Yu the vassal of the skeptics? This is not the case. Yu Gai said that people are biased, they know the near and are ignorant of the far, the reality is bound to come, and the reason is for sure; don’t be too paranoid, what is right and not what is, should be humble and humbly accepted, using wrong to show what is right That’s all. Zhuangzi said: “Using a sign to refer to the non-referring of the referent is not like using non-referring to refer to the non-referring of the referent. Using a horse to describe the non-horse of a horse is not like using a non-horse to describe the non-horse of a horse.” The world is not a horse, and the world’s Arguing with each other, because of the mutual attachment of others, if you want to resolve the attachment with the people of the world and stop the dispute, you must first insist on a word to fight it. Therefore, Yu also said: Using obsession to make the non-attachment of the obsessed is not like using non-attachment to make the non-attachment of the obsessed; using arrogance to make the arrogance of the non-aggressive is not the same as using the non-aggressive to make the arrogance of the non-aggressive. This is the existence of the subtle mind. But to do everything, there is no holy solution, and if you can live in the world, then you will live forever.
Regardless of the level of knowledge and knowledge, people have inherent limitations that cannot be overcome. If you are stubborn and do not seek flexibility, you will be eliminated by the times sooner or later. Therefore, there is a saying that “the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before, and the waves before die on the beach.” Engels said “Except for change, I don’t see anything else!”
At the beginning of Kuimao, artificial intelligence was in the ascendant and became more and more ferocious, and all those with knowledge wanted to change it. From this point of view, seeking change has become the consensus of today’s people (so we will no longer discuss the importance of change). However, there is no one who can understand the truth of artificial intelligence, can break the falsehood and see the essence to change the truth (because of the limitations that people in this game cannot get rid of).
When people today see changes in new trends, they tend to flock to them. As soon as new materials come out, articles, videos, interviews, and tutorials are made, and it has almost become a spectacle. The prophets are arrogant and show off their pen and ink, while the latter are anxious and eager to catch up. All living beings seem to swim in the trend of this era. “The brain is full of blood, and the eyes are dazzled.” Let me look at it, this is the crowd of those who don’t know the change. What does it mean to strive for change instead of real change? Those who change are common sense and the attitude of youth; those who keep the law are common sense and the attitude of a young man. Seeking change but not keeping it is not true change. Today’s young people often change their behavior because of a word from others, which can be described as a typical example of ignorance of real change. If you know how to change, you will have infinite distance; if you know how to defend, you will go astray without perishing. Only by knowing change can there be integration, and knowing how to keep it can lead to penetration. It is appropriate to keep the changes, and it is the best way!
If there is everything in the universe, what is the truth in the expression of an illusion? We are one of the myriad things in the universe, and we are insignificant. What we believe to be true is that the five parts of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body are connected to the five parts of form, sound, smell, taste, and touch. But what the eye can’t see, the telescope ,microscope can reach; sound beyond ears, flashlight , Telephone and wind can reach it; thus recursively inventing in the future, there must be those who can’t reach the nose, tongue, body, smell, taste, touch and use tools to reach it. Moreover, our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body are capable of connecting with form, sound, smell, taste, and touch, but there are some and some are not enough; we can know that there are some and some that are not enough to connect with them. . Therefore, what cannot be reached by telescopes and microscopes must be reached by Heavenly Eyes, Wisdom Eyes, Dharma Eyes, and Buddha Eyes; what cannot be reached by flashlights and telephones must be reached by Heavenly Ears, Wisdom Ears, Dharma Ears, and Buddha Ears. But what you see and hear is nothing or the same. The water of the same Ganges River is seen by fish and turtles as cave dwellings, by hungry ghosts as flames, by heaven as glass, and by humans as flowing water, so what is the so-called truth? There is no way to get the truth if there is more than five to five, but how to connect five to more than five? Can we rely on the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body to perceive the form, sound, smell, taste, and touch as real? The general appearance of one illusion in the universe, all the other appearances of an illusion, all appearances are all illusions, and illusions are connected with illusions, and those who say that there is truth to be obtained have nothing to do with it.
Ran Tejiaer said: What is real is not illusion, it is just meaning. What do you say? Gaiyi has right and wrong but no truth or falsehood, and those who doubt that the meaning is false will return to the true meaning. If it is said that there is no intention, then there is no doubt. Therefore, it is said: There is no illusion in the mind, and there is no illusion, so I live forever. My life is always, one artistic conception ear. If so, everything in the universe is artistic conception, and all situations are delusional, but meaning is true. But since the meaning is true, why doubt it? Doubt is delusional, but is it true? Looking at it from the outside, the meaning is the end of the illusion, although the meaning and the environment have their origins and ends, they are all an illusion, nothing more than an illusion. Teshi knows that everything is illusion, this is also Teshi’s outstanding insight; but if he says that meaning is not illusion, it is almost impossible to avoid “the origin of life and death for countless eons, and fools recognize it as the original person”!
Yu Jiang made a conclusion and said: There is no truth in the universe, only illusion is the truth; there is no everything in the universe, but illusion is everything; there is no universe in the universe, only illusion is the universe.
Because of illusion, the same bright sun, bright moon, Xufeng, Yuyu, the same famous mountains, great rivers, long forests, and deep valleys, or singing wine, all touch the environment; Because of illusion, the same words and languages, the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom; the same world and country, the rulers will be self-governed, and the chaotic will be chaotic; because of illusion, the mountains, rivers, and earth will become golden if the wisdom is deep, and the sins will eat up. All sides turn into raging flames; because of illusion, the same eye root, or in the world of constant sand, you can know the number of a drop of rain, or when you lie down in a small room, the three lights occasionally hide, but only see darkness; because of illusion, the same sky, earth and sun The moon, or the upper circle and the lower, dry and quiet, or the sun and the place turn, dawn east and evening west; because of illusion, the same life, or for Shun, for Zhi, or for Peng, for Shang; because of illusion, the world Infinite, the number of sentient beings is immeasurable. Because of illusion, all Buddhas came out of the world, with solemn names, and preached to save people. Husband why? Said: because only illusion. Because of only illusion, the three realms are only mind, and ten thousand dharmas are only consciousness; because only illusion, one living being cannot be saved, vow not to become a Buddha, save all sentient beings, and there will be no one who can be saved, and the Buddha realm will not increase or decrease ; Because of only illusion, the past does not go, the future does not come, three times a time, ten times a thought, not coming or going; Because of illusion, it is the dharma that lives in the place of dharma, and the world lives forever, without birth and death; because of illusion, there is no effect in the cause, and there is no cause in the effect, but cause and effect are not ambiguous, and cause and effect complement each other; because of illusion, the small medium See the big, see the small in the big, but the big and small are inseparable, and the small and big blend together. After all, there are differences in the differences. Husband why? Said: because only illusion. Great and fantastic! Emptiness is established from it, the world is born from it, all living beings are born from it, a country is formed from it, religion is established from it, and learning is enlightened from it. The sun, the moon, and the stars are far away, the hearts and minds are near, the mountains are big, the rivers and seas are big, the dust mustard insects and ants are small, the world is inside and outside, and all shapes and sizes are formed, lived, and destroyed by this incredible magic power. But all of them are formed, lived, and destroyed according to the power of illusion, so there is no success, no dwelling, and no destruction. Unify everything in the universe and form a great illusion, pervading the Dharma realm, the void realm, and the realm of sentient beings, and filling everything without exception. I have no words to describe it.
Buddhism often sticks to empty words and regards all things as illusions. This kind of theory that reality is illusory has become more prosperous with the rise of science fiction, and it is really hard to argue. For example, the movies “The Matrix” (Matrix) and “Inception” (Inception) all express this illusory to the fullest and are thought-provoking. If you ask me that this world is a computer simulation, I really don’t know how to argue. However, if people today cannot prove that the universe is an illusion, then I can argue strongly:
Proof: Assume that the universe is illusory, and do not know the definition of the real universe ∵ There is no evidence that the universe is illusory ∴ This universe is real \text{Proof: Assume that the universe is illusory, and do not know the definition of the real universe}\ \ \because\text{There is no evidence that the universe is illusory}\\ \therefore\text{this universe is real} Proof: Assume that the universe is illusory and do not know the definition of the real universe ∵ There is no evidence that the universe is illusory ∴ this universe is real
This proof is full of omissions , please viewers not to attack in groups. In fact, defining reality is like asking “why atoms are composed of protons and neutrons”, “why eutectoid steel is heated to A1A_{1} A 1 Above temperature will turn into austenite”, “Why two and two get four”, no matter what kind of question, if answered a certain number of times, it will eventually be attributed to the so-called “essential question”. Such questions have no solution and are the foundation of science , the foundation of truth, the irrefutable necessity. Let the boring people and idealists be unable to extricate themselves in the world of empty talk, we materialists choose to believe, and then go to transform the world.
