Question: I remember you saying "When you change your inner world, your outer world will be different." "Does it mean that the principle of concentricity corresponding, seeking the same qi? Or is it the holographic theory of information synchronization?
Answer:
If human life is compared to a divine instrument that is constantly recorded and projected, then the world you see is only the work you recorded and s***. From beginning to end, everything has nothing to do with the world at all, and it has to do with your consciousness ingestion, processing and **.
In the most practical terms, it doesn't depend on the world at all, it depends on your roots, your roots. In this sense, there is no such thing as an "outside world" and, therefore, there is no such thing as "responding with one heart and seeking one breath".
However, at a relative level, the mind and the external object arise from each other, and the outer edge is different, and the mind arises differently; The basic beliefs contained in the heart are different, and the outer edges encountered are different.
In this sense, the mind has a certain relationship with external objects.
Because the mind and the object are related to each other and can be used by each other, the mind is always in the phenomenon of "corresponding with one heart and seeking the same qi", and it has never even left this law for a moment.
That is to say, if you live on a relative level, and you think that there is a world and a you, then you are always in sync with the world, and you always experience the story of "corresponding with one heart and seeking the same breath".
But if you live on the absolute level, without a world, without a you, or with only one you (mind), without a real world, then the experience on the relative level is no longer suitable for the absolute level. This is like Newton's laws in the macroscopic world, which no longer adapt to the laws of quantum mechanics in the microscopic world.
There are three levels of human perception of the world:
One is the level of relative dependent arising (the mortal world, the phenomenal world);
the second is the level of consciousness (the world of bodhisattvas);
The third is the level of emptiness (the world of the Buddha).
If you live on the first level, then many of the laws you know are correct, this is the truth of the world, and many scientific experiments can be measured;
If you live on the second level, which is the level of the general awakener, this level crosses science and technology, and science begins to become powerless, they cannot be measured, they cannot even be explained, they can only be explained by the theory of "idealism or consciousness".
If you live on the third level, then the first two levels of knowers are not so correct, and they become a drama in your eyes at the same time.
So, what the world is like, what the truth about the world is, it depends on how evolved you are. You are different, the world is different; At what level you are, the world shows you its different faces.
But before we reach the status of a Buddha, our understanding of the world is one-sided, and we cannot say whose understanding is wrong, but can only be said to be incomplete, just like the story of the six blind men touching the elephant.
Before we reach the realization of a Buddha, we only see and describe parts of the world. As a result, we all live in the totality of the "partial world" as we know it, rather than the true whole world.
If you come to the level of "all dharmas" it is only relative, and it is only when you come to the level of emptiness or emptiness that you reach the absolute level – the greatest level of illusion, which can also be said to be the "greatest illusion level".
If we compare the universe to an elephant, before that, we all lived on the elephant's ears, legs, or belly, and did not live in an elephant without distinction.
The elephant of the universe is so big that it is a real elephant, and only the eyes of the Buddha can see it all and recognize it. Therefore, if we want to catch a glimpse of this real elephant, we must have the Buddha's eye – to become a Buddha, which is the purpose of our study of Buddhism and the cultivation of Buddhism.
Unless you're not interested in that, you have to. Otherwise, you are one of the six blind people, not the one who has the eyes to stand aside and see the whole picture.
To know life or the elephant of the universe, it is not enough to use only six roots. If you only use the six roots to look at the elephant, then you are one of the six blind or one of the six blind.
Only by not being deceived or deceived by the illusion formed by the six roots, by going beyond it and beyond it, with the whole eye (Buddha's mind and wisdom), can it be possible to see the truth of life and even the universe.
The elephant is invisible, the name is the universe, and all the wise people can see its true form with the eyes of the Buddha!
