A few days ago, on a whim, he gave a war sticker to the scholars who slandered and insulted the country, and set up twenty questions, and none of them could answer a single question!
Where there is a beginning, there is an end! Then I'll ask myself!
One: The relationship between superstition and Buddhist taoism?
Answer: Superstition, confusion and belief, faith that is not specifically pointed out, ununderstood, and unproven, is called superstition, and has no necessary relationship with the metaphysics of the Buddhist tao, in other words, superstition of the Buddhist tao is superstition, and superstitious science is also superstition.
Scientifically speaking, practice produces true knowledge, and the Buddhist Tao says, pro-cultivation empirical evidence!
They use different knowledge, different directions, to explain and perceive things, they are two different circles, and the people in the circle naturally have different knowledge.
Using the knowledge in your own circle to negate the knowledge that is not in your own circle is called: arrogance!
The world is not as big as your circle, anyone with this mentality is a frog at the bottom of the well!
To learn about another circle, you first have to open your own circle!
Open your own circle and call it: Happy!
Redundant.
Two: Where is the middle?
A: Take out a chopstick, break it, there is a left paragraph, there is a right paragraph, what about the middle? hollow!
Three: Where is the present?
A: Time has a past, a future, and never stops, so since there is no stop, where is the present?
These two questions can actually be combined into one problem.
Taoists say: Baoyuan Shouzhong, Buddhists say: Live in the present! And whether it is in the middle or in the present, in fact, there is no existence, or in other words, whether it is in the middle or in the present, it is beyond the world that people are based on relative, based on yin and yang, and based on cognition.
This transcendent "being" has many other names: infinity, chaos, nothingness, vacuum...
China! The land in the middle! The country of infinity, the country of vacuum, the country of the Tao!
Moral benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and faith! The Tao is the root of all things, and it is also the root of our Chinese nation!
Four: Is there only one side of paper? Why?
A: There is no paper with only one side! If you don't know, try to find it! You will find that paper, there must be a front, there must be a reverse, positive and negative support each other, will exist.
Positive and negative, called yin and yang! Yin and yang are born together, relative, interdependent, coexist!
Not only paper, this world, everything is composed of yin and yang, lonely yin is not born, and single yang is not long.
Five: Why did Klein bottles be made and imagined ignorantly?
Think about why Klein bottles only have concept maps but no physical objects! The concept map is just that people have changed their appearance based on the definition of existence and transcendence.
A: A basic concept of Klein's bottle: inside and outside are connected, inside is outside, outside is inside, that is, there is no inside and outside.
You can take up a question together to see, inside and outside, is a yin and a yang, since the inside is the outside, there is no need to divide the inside and outside, the inside and outside are not divided, that is, the unity of inside and outside!
Well, close your eyes, try it, and you'll find that there's no way to construct an image of inside and outside in consciousness.
Why not? Because how can consciousness based on yin and yang construct an image that transcends yin and yang?
The Klein bottle we see is just a concept map, and this concept map has actually distorted its true face! Don't think this picture is Klein's bottle.
Why is consciousness based on yin and yang?
Combined with the previous question, can you remove the "positive and negative" from the consciousness and then let the image of a piece of paper appear in the consciousness? As a result, it must not be.
If you can't build an image, how can you make it?
Is the universe finite or infinite?
A: It can only be infinite! why?
If the universe is finite, where are the boundaries?
If there are no boundaries, nature is infinite, and if there are boundaries, what is outside the boundaries that houses this universe? There must be only another, larger boundary that can accommodate this boundary, and beyond the boundary there is a boundary, endless! Nature is also infinite.
Definition of the universe: up and down, ancient and modern! The two support each other, interdependence, inseparable!
Some people say that there is nothingness outside the universe, so if you can interview in your head, can you build an image of "nothingness"?
The answer is that it must not be, just as it is impossible to build a Klein bottle.
In other words, "nothingness" in this life means infinity.
Specific, then the questions will be answered later.
Seven: Where does the singularity exist?
Answer: The basic concept of the singularity: there is infinitely large energy in the infinitesimal, and from it bursts out space-time and all existence.
The same concept is the Taoist "Wuji." And the Buddhist "vacuum." ”
Infinity gives birth to all things, and vacuum is wonderful!
Since there is no time and space, there must be no exact physical location, so the singularity can be said to be "non-existent" at all. ”
Where does a "non-existent" "being" "exist" come from?
Don't get me wrong! I didn't mean to bend, and even I said the vernacular, but there must still be many people who can't understand it, which is the narrowness of language, which is why the study of Buddhism is called "metaphysics" by many people.
So there will inevitably be no correct answer to this question! Because the correct answer cannot be spoken in words, if I say it, it will already bend its original meaning.
That's why I've put a few quotes on those few beings.
If I have to say it, it can only be that the singularity exists in the indescribable, incomprehensible.
Eight: Chickens or eggs first?
A: It appears at the same time, in no order.
Nine: Does this world exist at the same time?
A: Yes and no.
The above two questions can be explained together.
Twenty-four hours a day, sixty minutes an hour, sixty seconds a minute... Seconds...... millisecond......
Time, since it can be divided infinitely! So, the world doesn't exist at the same time? How can there be simultaneous existence?
however! Take a ten-centimeter ruler, and another twenty-centimeter ruler! Put together, the two contrast, you will find that there is a high at the same time as the low, there is no order, it happens together! This is the combination of yin and yang.
So, when we define the chicken, the eggs laid by the chicken naturally become eggs, and where is the order?
Not only eggs, but everything.
All things are inseparable from yin and yang, and when there is yin, there is also yang, and yin and yang are the same as the definition of man, and the definition is from the heart, and the world becomes at the same time as the heartbeat, that is, the phase is born from the heart.
This is beyond the comprehension of most people, and it will take a book to explain it in detail, and most people will still not understand it.
Ten: Dead wood grows a new tree, is this tree still the original one?
A: There have never been new and old trees! There is only the cycle of "I".
A leaf, it's called "leaf." ”
The leaves fall to the ground and turn into nutrients, which are called "nutrients." ”
The nutrients are absorbed by the tree again, and the leaves are divided again!
In this cycle, it constantly changes identities, which one is the "me"?
Like you can't figure out whether this new tree or the old tree is?
It turns out that "I" is so narrow that when you cling to "me," it's called "self." ”
Like I said before, not all questions have answers, and many people will inevitably fall into a dead end of thinking because of this problem, but more people don't even know how to walk into this alley!
Eleven: The relationship between space and time?
Answer: The root of space-time is called "moving!" ”
Why?
If an object is absolutely still, since it is still, it will not age, it will not be changed by time, and it will naturally transcend time.
Time is just our definition of how things change, in fact, it doesn't exist.
Since there is motion, there is naturally a process of motion, the amplitude of motion, which we define as "time", and this amplitude we define as "space." ”
The essence of space-time: one step took two seconds to step into three feet of space! So much for.
Of course, different "movements" superimpose on each other, allowing space-time to expand, but at the same time, it also creates different "space-time!" ”
For example, in the same hundred years, people die, and the mountains are standing, and the green pines are not old.
The same goes for space! Enough space for us, it is narrow for elephants.
Twelve: Lost love, why does the material heart hurt?
A: This question is mainly asked of people who claim to be "scientific" and talk about things with the stick of "unscience" everywhere.
The essence of the problem is this: consciousness can affect reality!
More than that, quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat conjecture, and the double-slit interference experiment all speak to this fact: "The mind can determine reality." ”
In the Buddhist scriptures, it has long been said: Phases are born from the heart. The Taoist classics also say it, but they are more obscure.
As I said before: different people use different knowledge to understand the world, verify the world, and come to the same result.
You can't always force a "superstition" label because it doesn't meet your cognition, right?
Different people have taken different paths, and it's not just your way to Rome!
13: Where does time begin? And where does it end?
A: Time never begins, nor does it end! Time does not exist, as I said before, there is only the change of things, not time.
But from another perspective, where does change begin? Where will it end?
A: Change begins when the heart moves and stops when the mind is still!
Why?
hi! Thousands of volumes of Buddhist scriptures explain this problem, and it is impossible for me to explain it clearly in three words and two words, even if I say it clearly, I may not be able to hear it clearly, only because there is nothing to say, and it is false to say in truth, although it can be said, it can only be understood. It has been said in past articles that interested parties can take a look.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, as long as you can prove it, you will naturally understand it.
If you have to use logic in words and words, you have actually fallen behind, which is why Zen Buddhism practices "unspoken teachings." ”
Just as we force our own thinking to think about things beyond our own thinking, it seems to understand, but in fact, it has bent the original.
There is no more to say.
Fourteen: The difference between infinitely large and infinitely small?
A: There is no difference!
The key is not in size, but in infinity!
Since it is already infinite, where is the size?
So-called: its big is no outside, its small is no inside! It means "vacuum." ”
Again: Sumina mustard! Infinitely large is loaded into infinite small.
Just because there is no size, where is the difference?
Taoist practice, there is a saying "Jindan", this Jindan is also the same concept, there is no big and no small, allowing heaven and earth, and only in the vacuum of no big and no small can this Dan be refined.
Fifteen: What are the necessary conditions for entropy theory, heat death theory?
A: There are two requirements.
One: Limited space.
Two: the existence of being born and not dying.
Sixteen: What is the nature of war and disaster?
A: The essence is the balance of nature, and it is all that gives rise to wars and disasters" activity. "And desire.
The above two questions can be explained together.
Take a blank piece of paper, and white paper must be limited.
Then smear it up and draw whatever you want.
Soon, the white paper was full of paintings, and there was no more extra space available, so the heat was silent!
But is the universe finite? I've already said this in my previous question.
And, will things only develop and not die? Of course not!
When we find that the paper is too messy, we can pick up the eraser, erase it, and start over!
And in reality! Who is using the eraser?
nature!
Nature has birth and death, and everything is bound to find a new balance in the end.
Disasters, wars, are nature in the "dynamic balance" of the world!
For example, a net, four people each hold a corner, and then shake together, and finally, the jittered energy converges at a point, then explodes, and then tears the net, and at the same time that the net breaks, the gathered energy is consumed.
This column also applies to disasters and wars!
Because to be alive is necessarily to move, it is called "activity." ”
And movement necessarily produces kinetic energy, and when the energy of moving in all directions accumulates together, it will erupt and then die.
There is life and movement, so there is death!!!
This is why Buddhist practice pays attention to tranquility!
This dynamic energy also has a name, called: "Risk." ”
Why do lighthouse nations always go to war? Because to release the accumulated risk, if you do not release it, you will inevitably suffer from it!
Today's world is an incomparably tightly connected web, we are all in it, and we have all moved for a long time! The risk has accumulated a lot... And then what? What will happen?
There are not only people on this network, as far as the eye can see, they are all in the network!
A community with a shared future for mankind! A community of man and nature!
Fortunately, there are always people who can see this, who it is, it goes without saying!
Seeing this, you can properly guide the risk, although it will inevitably erupt, but you can choose where to break out!
Choice!
Man, why do they move?
Two words: want!
Because you want, pay action, accumulate risks, risks erupt, death comes!
The Qing Jing Sutra says: Desire to be long-lasting, send its heart, clear its desire!
So, no desire is just ah!
This is the nature of the world.
If you want to be long-lasting, there is only one way to be quiet.
Seventeen: What is the essence of a white horse and not a horse?
Answer: The horse is not moving, just the heart is moving!
In the end, the Tao is constant and man is impermanent!
If you want to explain, it must be a long story, in short - the white horse is not a horse from the hundred families of the sons, the famous family, and the name can be named, very famous!
All the words of this family come from the "name", and most of us do not understand its meaning, and we cannot argue, so we call it sophistry.
Reality: It is not sophistry, it reveals the narrowness of words and words, and it reveals that clinging to the appearance of "name" and clinging to "name" is the inability to see the root of things.
Table, name also! What is the first name? Definition also!
Everything in the world, not out of name, represents the basis of the existence of things, and it is not only the name of the "name" as we know it.
Tao Te Ching: Famous, the mother of all things! And where does the name come from? Comes from the heart, only because the definition is defined by the heart.
This can be passed through the Buddhist family, and it is born from the heart.
However, this name is not a very name, very, that is, changeable, both changeable, only because of different people, different times, different situations and different definitions.
Speaking the same things in different words, but it is difficult to reconcile.
Whether it is a white horse or a horse, it is all a verbal definition, and clinging to the definition is full of contradictions.
The horse never moved, but the human heart moved.
In addition to the non-name, there is another name, this name is the "common name", the common name has existed for eternity, can not be said, so the name is beyond the scope of verbal definition, this name is also called "nameless." ”
Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth!
If you can see through the appearance of horses and white horses, you will find that the white horse is the name, the horse is the name, the animal is the name, the matter is the name, and all those who have the conscious definition are names, not original.
When you forget all definitions, forget all names, you will find that there is no horse, no white horse.
Peace of mind is peace of mind! A clear heart is a clear world!
When you forget the white horse and the horse, forget the name and the name, then you will enlighten the Yuan God of the Tao, and the Buddha will come.
Yan Huiyue: Sit back and forget!
If you don't know, try and forget the definitions of "horse" and "white horse".
You will find that there are never horses!
The so-called definition is only the heartbeat, the heart does not move, all things are extinguished, the heart moves, and everything is born.
The white horse is not a horse is to hope that we can see nothing from what we have, but the world's hearts are narrow and clinging to the name, so that we cannot see the original.
The sons and hundreds of families do not come from the Tao, but only because of people, because of different situations and different names.
That's it, what can be understood will naturally be understood, and what is not understood, no matter how much you say, it is difficult to understand.
Eighteen: Are there any similarities and differences between relative and yin and yang?
A: There are no similarities and differences.
The difference between the two is only the surface, the inside is actually the same, or so to speak, this is a relative world, everything is relative, high relative to short, long relative to short, good relative to evil!
There are many chapters in the Tao Te Ching that say relative, and intentionally you can look at it yourself.
Nineteen: What is freedom?
A: There has never been any truly absolute freedom in this world.
Let's start with what most people understand as freedom, for example: Many people think that the United States is a free country, yes, free enough to buy a gun, but what will this freedom give rise to? Chaos, and what is the opposite of chaos? order! What is order? The benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom of obedience to the Word... What will happen to the rules that have been laid out, and if they are broken? depraved!!
People who yearn for freedom always feel that there are too many rules around them, these rules make them unable to do whatever they want, and not being able to do whatever they want is equal to not being free, which is also the freedom that most people understand.
It's not that you're not free enough, it's that you want too much!
In fact, the freedom that most people seek is only the degree of domination of their own desires, just an excuse for their own desires.
So what is relative freedom?
For example, a company boss has more money at his disposal than a low-level employee, and can buy more things, in this way, the boss seems to be more free, but the bottom-level staff has more time, coming home from work to read comics, watch movies, play games, life is always more comfortable than the boss who only has documents on the table.
This is relative freedom, this kind of relative is not only the opposite of top and bottom, but also the opposite of different angles, and the relative freedom of this angle cannot actually distinguish who is more free.
We first set a standard of freedom for ourselves, and then work hard to achieve it in this direction, for example, I want to buy a car, after having a car, I can travel freely, but when you buy a car, the second or better one has been waving in front of you, of course, the beckoning is not necessarily the car, but there must be something you desire in front of you, after all, life is not over, the heart always has to seek outward, just...
We got out of a circle, but drew a bigger circle for ourselves!
If you have to define freedom, be happy! These two words should be the most appropriate, because the unfree must be unhappy, and the free are often happy.
But happiness is not absolute freedom, because happiness is also a circle, because happiness does not have a clear definition, because happiness never exists alone, and sadness always follows.
Is there really absolute freedom?
There is a relative, there is a natural absolute, but this absolute freedom is not the end of the relative freedom extending forward, but the turn!
When we let go of all relative freedom, we can have absolute freedom.
Relative freedom never ends, because it is changeable and impermanent, no matter how many circles you get out of, there is a circle waiting for you in front of you, chasing a lifetime of freedom, but finding that you have never really been free.
Most of his life is more and more confused, because he is more and more aware of his own predicament! The more matter there is, the smaller and smaller the scope of freedom, no matter how much he carries, he is still looking forward, slower and slower, until the end of life, freedom is still far away.
We all promote this spirit and add all kinds of praise to it, such as self-motivated, not giving up, striving to be upstream... Wait a minute.
This is the very important point that hinders the attainment of absolute freedom, which we call: the name.
You care about the surrounding environment, the surrounding environment is completely imposed on your shoulders, even if you are tired and want to let go, the gossip around you, gossip comes, you care, you can't let go. Not only that, slowly, even crying and laughing have to care about the surrounding environment, you are less and less free, but you are more and more successful, the people around you tell you that you are more free than those who do not pursue, slowly, you equate freedom with possession.
At first, I just needed a mouthful of air, a mouthful of food, a piece of clothing, I was satisfied, I could laugh out loud, but gradually, the toy appeared... I am happy to have toys, I am not happy without toys, my smile has become more complicated, my freedom has also been taken away by toys a little, and then bigger, even if there are toys I will not be happy, because I know a lot of small partners, even if there are no toys, they will play with me, and I will laugh with them, but sometimes the little friends are not there, I will feel bored, and the smile is less. After that, even if there is no friend to play with me, I will not be unhappy, because I know money, because I know that money can buy not only toys, but even friends, and without money, I will not be able to buy anything, then my life will no longer be happy, and then all my remaining freedom will be taken away by this "money" little by little. With money I will be happy, but happiness is always not lasting, why is my heart always empty?
Because, unconsciously, I have carried too many things, these things are bought by "money", but as I have them, my happiness is reduced, and because I have carried too many things, so I can't run, even if I take a step forward, I am very careful, because I am afraid that the things I carry will fall, I have a hard time getting, even if it is heavy, I am reluctant to put down, and the reason why I am empty inside is because I don't have enough, I still have to chase.
This is another point that hinders absolute freedom, profit!
Fame and fortune represent the inside and the outside, but the inside and the outside are one.
When you hold the world, you are also held by the world!
When you let go of the world, the world also lets you go!
On language: Doing as you please without overstepping the bounds, this is a realm, but also a realm that a few people can achieve, but the open heart cannot touch the boundaries of the rules, even the open heart cannot touch the boundaries of the rules, so is there still a boundary? Although the words are assured, in fact, the heart is closed, no rules, all by heart! The Pure Scripture says: Virtue is not virtuous, virtue is virtuous, a person who will not touch the boundaries of virtue at all, does the existence of virtue make sense to him? Only a person whose gaze always crosses the boundaries of virtue will always care about the boundaries of virtue, will always keep virtue in mind, and the so-called son of virtue is the rule used to restrain such a person.
This is the purity of the mind, which can maximize the parallel of one's own desire and freedom, which can be regarded as absolute relative freedom, but it is not absolute freedom.
The so-called absolute freedom is:
No matter how chaotic you are, I don't say a word, I don't say a word.
Ren er has changed nowhere, I don't want to, no.
The world changes, the vicissitudes of the mulberry field.
I keep only one heart, the end of the mountain.
The dust passed, and I felt at ease.
The heavens are great, and I will not tolerate the heavens, and I will not tolerate the heavens.
The heavens are great, melting into me, and I melting into the heavens.
The cycle of life is not idle.
It has nothing to do with me.
Absolute freedom, free from anything, is freedom independent of the world, constant freedom, and true freedom.
This is what Buddhist practice seeks.
(The free answer stems from an article I wrote specifically before, and now it's just copy and paste.) ）
Twenty: Why can't absolute zero exist?
A: Because absolutely! Because there is no absolute in this world, because there is no absolute in the world!
Let's start with absolute zero.
Why does absolute zero freeze time?
For the essence of time is motion, and the essence of absolute zero is to stop the "motion!" of matter. ”
Stopped moving, nature stopped time.
If there is no time, nature has no space, time and space do not exist, and what can be frozen by absolute zero?
Therefore, as long as absolute zero still exists, it must not be absolute zero, and if absolute zero is reached, it naturally "does not exist".
The meaning of no absolute is to put it in other words: anything is possible!
Because the universe is infinitely large, time is infinitely long, and there are infinite changes, since it is infinite, then everything is possible.
