Lesson 6: World "World" refers to the past and present, and "Jie" refers to direction. This means vertically speaking of time and horizontally speaking of space, which means the meaning of heaven and earth. It also shows that heaven and earth are originally changing and changing. of. The world is first centered on Mount Sumeru, with the empty wheel at the bottom, and the four-wheeled bodies such as Feng Shui and Gold at the top. Gold refers to the solid terrain containing gold. Going up from the ground to halfway up Mount Sumeru is the first level of heaven. At the top of the mountain is the second level of heaven, and then there are four levels of heaven. Because these six levels of heaven have the desire of men and women to eat and drink, they are called the "Desire Realm Heaven." There are eighteen levels of heaven further upward, divided into four jhanas, with only solemn forms, so it is called "*** heaven". There are four levels of heaven further up, which have no form or form, so they are called "the heaven without ***". There are four big planets on all sides of Mount Sumeru, eight medium planets, and tens of thousands of small planets. The ancients called it "zhou". There are seven mountains and eight seas in the outer layers, and the Iron Wall Mountain is the outer outline. Lesson 7: The number of worlds. Summarizing the large and small planets surrounded by the two mountains of Sumeru and Tiewei, as well as the seven mountains and eight seas, starting from the empty wheel and going up to the first jhāna heaven of ***, this is called "one world". Taking the horizontal and vertical scope of such a world as the standard, there are *** thousand worlds, up to *** the Second Zen Heaven, which is called "small thousand worlds". Taking the scope of the Small Thousand Worlds as the standard, there are *** one thousand Small Thousand Worlds, up to the *** Third Zen Heaven, which is called the "Middle Thousand Worlds". Then taking the scope of the Zhongqian World as the standard, *** a thousand Zhongqian Worlds, up to the Fourth Zen Heaven, are called "Great Thousand Worlds". Therefore, the numbers are divided into small thousand, medium thousand and big thousand, so there are three thousand and big thousand names. There is not just one of these three thousand worlds, they are countless, boundless and endless. The number of sentient beings in the six realms that are boundless and boundless for thousands of miles is also endless. However, the world is constantly undergoing the transition of "creation, residence, destruction, and emptiness," and all living beings are also constantly undergoing the evolution of "birth, residence, change, and destruction." Lesson 8: Internal and external realms. The three realms are originally impermanent, and the living beings inside are entangled by all troubles, unable to be free, and constantly born and dying. Therefore, the three realms are called "houses of fire" and all living beings are called "ordinary people." Ordinary beings are divided into six categories: 1. gods, 2. humans, 3. asuras. These three are called the "good path" because they still enjoy a little peace and happiness even though they live in a burning house; 4. animals, and 5. hungry ghosts. 6. Hell, these three are simply called "evil realms", and they are just suffering. To sum up, the troubles of all living beings are not over, and life and death continue. Drawn by karma, one path dies and another path arises, running back and forth, spinning endlessly like a wheel. Even if you occasionally enjoy a good path and enjoy small happiness, it will not be the ultimate for the time being. If you can eliminate all worries, you can escape from the six realms, transcend the three realms, end life and death, and become immortal. This is called "a saint outside the realm." *** are divided into four categories: those who realize the fruit of the Hinayana are sravakas and pratyekabuddhas, and those who realize the fruit of the Mahayana are Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.
Answer the second floor. You don't understand Buddhism. Of course, it is undeniable that Buddhism and Christianity have different perspectives and perspectives. If you believe in God, that's fine, but please don't distort Buddhism and tell a specious version of Buddhism. First, Christianity believes that everything has its own order and therefore must have a powerful and powerful Creator behind it. But Buddhists don't pay attention to this, because there is nothing that can make people believe except the things in front of them and the reasoning made with their heads. Therefore, the focus of Buddhists is to first affirm the things in front of them and then find the truth behind them. But all analysis is based on what is in front of you. Therefore, the "God" who "transcends" human knowledge is not part of the analytical process and its results. In Buddhism, this is called the "real quantity" of direct experience and the "comparison" of logic. Since Buddhist thinking is based on these two, these things that humans do not know are ignored. Or as will be said on the second floor, don’t Buddhists believe in the six paths of reincarnation that only Buddha knows? But this is not a one-sided belief. Buddhist disciples call this "extremely unrealistic." Anything that humans cannot know, or even analyze, is subtle, which is "extremely impractical." Or the people on the second floor will say that the Lord is "extremely invisible", so Buddhist disciples should believe in it. But not all "extremely unrealistic things" are believed by all Buddhist disciples. Only if the Buddha says it, will the disciples believe it. In this case, if you have doubts about what the Buddha said and think it is not the true meaning of the Buddha, you will use debate to find its true meaning. Don't "blindly" believe in what the Buddha says. Buddhists believe that it is okay for someone to create the world. However, this creator turned out to be an existence that "transcends" everything and is above all things. This was considered unreasonable, so it was discarded. Secondly, in Buddhism, everything has its own order, which is called "dharma nature".
But the liberation that Buddhist disciples believe is not to understand who creates or why they do it, but to understand the source of troubles and how to get rid of them. 2008-08-19 21:06:40 Supplement: It’s good to believe in Christianity on the second floor, but please don’t talk about specious Buddhism.
Especially so-called professors who don’t understand Buddhism at all!
The second floor is funny! So what would happen to an earth with only "coincidences"? No mountains, no water? No air? No animals? Christians, please see clearly/study the theory of evolution carefully before criticizing! 2008-08-19 13:23:51 Supplement: Human beings have been around for thousands of years, and Western civilization (modern civilization) is only more than 200 years old! Yeah! The days when religion was really rampant were the darkest ages for mankind! The Christians are shameless***. ． "But in the past 40 years, the West has accepted "the sky full of gods and Buddhas, Feng Shui palm reading, yoga and meditation! Plus "indulgence" and advocating material... After that! Natural and man-made disasters have become more and more serious!!!...: It is simply confusing right and wrong! On the second floor, please don’t read a few nonsense books by Liang Yancheng and others and come out to preach and criticize other cultures.
To the friends who “guess where this place is?”: Hello! I really appreciate you. I am eager to learn! I have studied "Buddhism"! I saw: The pure "Buddhism" that first emerged in "India" about 2,500 years ago is different from the "Buddhism" that has existed for 2,500 years now! It is very different (combined with different cultures from various places
Even if it goes against the original intention of "Mr. Shakya"! People from all over the world think that as long as it conforms to my beautiful wishes and wishes! That's fine!!!) e.g. U know Buddhism believes: "The sex between husband and wife is lust"! There are too many selfish desires and disasters in people and the world! Wanting to be prosperous is greed! You should be careful! Therefore
become a monk and practice In addition to atone for one's own sins! Often chant sutras in front of the statue of "Mr. Sakyamuni"! Purify your heart, restrain your desires and accumulate merit to reduce all kinds of sins and retribution in your life!!! Therefore, they who become monks
It is not possible to marry someone of close sex and have children! So
the so-called "Buddha of many children" or "Buddha of wealth" etc.
People from all over the world follow their own beauty. Imagining the enshrinement of wishes and wishes! Desire for "gods" to help
Achieve desires that people themselves have not been able to achieve for a long time!!! In fact
The origin of the real "Buddhism" is Such
"Mr. Shakya" is a very thoughtful and anti-educated prince! He sees too many disasters in himself and the world
He feels that it is too painful to be a human being. >>>Sorry! Libray time is Up! Write later...> So
You asked: "Does Buddhism believe that there are aliens? Will aliens be born in the next life?" 2008-08-19 12:49:50 Supplement: >Life is hard> I often go to the bodhi tree and think: How to die after death
Without reincarnation? (Hindu idea! Lots of evidence: reincarnation is Imagine)! "Does Buddhism think there are aliens?" Sakyamuni's theory of the origin of life is similar to modern evolution! He said that everything is "originated" (appeared by chance! But
Look closely at the order in which everything is combined ! Strange! "There are mountains
There are water! Is it a coincidence that there are men and women? No external design and promotion? e.g. Before you moved into your new home
there were four stone walls! Right? Move in The time is so bright! You also know: there are external forces to design and promote
Right? Also
I have studied the Bible! 2008-08-19 13:09:25 Supplement: Continued : The accuracy of God's creation is even greater! e.g. Chinese, Indians or Orientals have been worshiping "the sky full of gods and Buddhas, Feng Shui palm readings, yoga meditation... for thousands of years! All the time"
Everyone is prone to disasters Difficulties! Hardly a day goes by in peace! However, after the West and the United States accepted God’s creation and the Bible about 1800 years ago, they are in chaos! There are many disasters! Hardly a day goes by in peace.
< p> Toward peace! Civilization! Science! Emphasis on "love your neighbor as yourself"! But in the past 40 years, the West has accepted "the sky is full of gods and Buddhas, Feng Shui palm reading, yoga meditation! Plus "indulgence" and advocating material... After that! Natural and man-made disasters Getting more and more powerful!!!.... 2008-08-19 13:22:34 Supplement: Excuse me! Because there is not enough space for supplementary content!... (continued): Please think and compare for yourself! Also
I would like to exchange views with my friend woodreus18! Please be tolerant! Actually
The Bible not only mentions that God created our earth, humans, and beasts. It also mentions the creation of heaven and earth! There is talk of aliens
More than 70 years after the legend began
There is still no credible evidence! Still exploring and doubting... ...Welcome to call me to communicate!~Thank you!!>>See U... 2008-08-19 16:32:23 Supplement: Dear blythefai
Hello! So happy to hear from you Frankly speaking! You are a knowledgeable and straightforward good person! Let's exchange opinions! "Everyone who walks 3 years ago must have me as a teacher"! You are welcome to call me and explore the "True Knowledge Appointment" together! Thank you! See U......... I wish you good health! Happy! Netizen: JOSEPH Chen Weiqiang Congratulations...
First, from a scientific point of view, the universe is so big, we have not yet known how big it is. No matter how big it is, it’s just that it’s so big that it’s unparalleled. Today's high-tech telescopes can confirm what the Buddhists said: there are hundreds of millions of suns in the universe. It is not the ancient Chinese or the divine religion saying that there are no two suns in the sky and the sky is round and the earth is round. The Buddha said that there are hundreds of thousands of suns, which is just a metaphor for a very large number. Don't be obsessed with whether there are only one hundred and thousands of them. In order to have life, we know that many conditions must exist, such as the distance from the sun, the size of the planet, what materials there are, etc. This is a very, very small chance! ! Therefore, people who believe in God say: God only created our earth, humans, and beasts. When we discovered that the universe is so vast and there are countless suns, we also found out that even in this instant, countless stars have been created, destroyed and destroyed. At this time, the divine religion said: It is impossible for there to be such a small chance of life. If there are aliens, show me one! We can’t find it because God only created us, not aliens, because God doesn’t like them! Do you think this is scientific? Of course, we cannot be sure that there are aliens, but in this boundless universe, no matter how small the probability is, it will become a lot of probability! In addition, the reincarnation that Buddhism talks about is not just the reincarnation of life on earth, but also heaven, ghosts, gods, hell, etc., as well as other worlds (that is, alien worlds). What Buddhism says: The immeasurable worlds in the ten directions are: immeasurable worlds in the ten directions (the ten directions are the ten directions of east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest, upper and lower), and in each direction there are immeasurable and boundless worlds. There are so many worlds, how many worlds are there? There are so many things that cannot be said. We have the opportunity to be reincarnated in another world in the next life... Our earth is called "Saha World" and "Tolerable World" in Buddhist scriptures. I won't say so much anymore. I don't believe in creationism. I believe that the universe has no beginning and no beginning. Ultimately, I believe there are aliens, although we may not discover them for a long time.
