Chapter 299 (1/2)
”Alayer's knowledge,” Zhu Geyun replied, ”one of the eight knowledge is the structural basis of all experience and the fundamental hidden knowledge of all consciousness.”
”The first five senses are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, and then the sixth sense of thinking. The seventh sense is the contaminated sense, also known as the last sense, and the eighth sense is the alaiye sense.”
”Yes.” the cat demon continued, ”alayer's knowledge is the eighth knowledge in the knowledge only science. It is a very special knowledge. It contains all things, because it can contain the seeds of all things, also known as seed knowledge.”
”In Buddhism, alaiyah consciousness is regarded as the noumenon of the universe and the origin of everything in the universe. Everything we see is evolved from alaiyah consciousness.”
”Alaiye's knowledge is like the sea. Everything in the material world is the waves on the surface of the sea. The waves roll in bursts and become the cycle of our objective world.”
”The upper and lower four directions are called the universe, and the ancient and modern times are called the universe.”
”Lan Ting once told me that the end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is religious theology.”
”This may not be absolutely correct, but when different things enter an unknown field, they will have great commonalities, which is reflected in the blurring of the boundary when the process of exploration and cognition of the universe enters an unfamiliar field.
Feng Huolun received: ”at the end of our research, many things can't go on and explain clearly, but many insights in Buddhism and Taoism have inspired us.”
”For example, there is a Buddhist saying that the universe is divided into desire, color and colorless, which is similar to the concept of parallel space. The six days of desire are sexual reproduction, the eighteen days of color are asexual reproduction, and the creatures in the four days of colorless have only consciousness but no form.”
”The levels or dimensions of the three realms range from low to high. The last important day of the achromatic realm is called 'thinking and thinking about the sky'. There is no material and no desire. It is said that only subtle thoughts exist.”
”Taoism has a similar division, but the names are different. The heaven of Xiandao has a total of 36 weights. The last eight weights are outside the three realms and are not in the five elements. The highest weight of the Dala sky is only Tao, and there is nothing else. This is similar to the Buddhist idea of thinking about the meaning of heaven.”
The cat demon added: ”the so-called heaven is not a tangible world. It is similar to the concept of multi-dimensional universe. In fact, it is still limited, because human cognition is limited.”
”As you tell fish, shrimp and crab, there is a land world outside the sea, which they can't understand and imagine. They think that the sea is infinite. This infinite conclusion is based on limited cognition.”
”The immeasurable depth and breadth of the universe is more incredible than you think. It can be said that it exceeds the expectations and abilities of human beings and all known life.”
Yi LiuNian asked, ”there must be a real and objective existence, even if we can't understand it.”
The cat demon replied, ”in Buddhism, truth is divided into two truths - secular truths, which describe the relative truth of things, and Shengyi truths, which describe the absolute truth of the true and infallible reality. Human beings cannot directly see the truth itself, and we cannot find an answer to Shengyi truths in secular truths. In other words, absolute truths cannot be explained by relative truths.”
”The only way we can try to understand the unprocessed truth is through labeling and pseudonym. As the Taoist ancestor said: the Tao can be the Tao, the extraordinary Tao. The name can be the name, the extraordinary name. As the Buddha said: emptiness is color, and color is emptiness. The five connotations are empty, impermanent and self-centered. Everything that has appearance is vanity.”
Hua Lanting asked again, ”is it like the illusion created by the magic array in the art?”
Feng Huolun: ”almost. It's just drizzle. It's a virtual scene created by the cultivator after understanding a little fur.”
The cat demon said, ”for example, there is a fish tank in front of us, in which a goldfish is swinging its head and tail. When you look at it from the side and I look at it from the back, we see two fish. They look like and different. It's very strange - one moves and the other immediately makes the same action at the same time.”
”If the aquarium is the universe, the fish we see is an illusion, a projection and a fake, but the fish really exists. If we all look at the fish from different directions, there will be many fish, and the actions are very coordinated, and there is only one truth.”
Lin Xianjing thought deeply: ”I remember a virtuous National Master in the Tang Dynasty. When he explained the Dharma Sutra, he put a big mirror in each direction of an octagonal pavilion. The mirrors reflected each other. If you didn't notice the real person standing in the middle, you would think that there were many people whose actions were consistent with each other and slightly different.”
Feng Huolun sighed, ”so the ancients were smart. Fish tanks and mirrors are just metaphors. The universe is more complex. There is no space and time. All things of all of us, past, present and future are in it. There is nowhere and everywhere. It seems far from near.”
Zhuge Yun said, ”but we can realize and feel the reality of objects.”
The cat demon said: ”you can feel and touch the real object because of strong, weak, magnetic and gravitational forces, but it is likely that these are the same as time. They are all illusions we feel, including consciousness. Maybe consciousness is also produced by projection, which is the projection after alaiye's consciousness enters your body.”
”Only if the great power of Buddhism can enter deep meditation, can we be aware of the source of all things that remain unchanged, so as to demonstrate alaiya's consciousness.”
”Alaiya consciousness is like the holographic projection of the universe. It has everything. Every point contains all information. As the Buddha said, mustard contains thousands. Every point is like the incarnation of the Buddha, everywhere and everywhere.”
”The brain is also an illusory projection. The understanding of the world can only reach the upper limit allowed by the brain, and Buddhism and Taoism practice is trying to expand the ability of the brain. However, Buddhism believes that it can expand infinitely and wander between heaven and earth, and Taoism can pursue the body to keep up, so as to break through and enter a higher level.”
The cat demon asked everyone, ”do you understand?”
The crowd either looked at the head with one palm or folded their hands together and said, ”limitless Buddha / Amitabha, we are stupid. We all want to be quiet.”
After several transmissions, one morning, they arrived outside the transfer transmission array to the last large transmission point at the southern end of Xianzhou.
