with the start of industrialization and commercialization in modern western countries, science has developed rapidly. Science plays a leading role in contemporary society, becomes the embodiment of truth and is admired by the world. In modern times, which focuses on scientific and technological civilization, the promotion of Jingzong inevitably has to meet the challenges from science. In fact, pure Sect can contain science in harmony, while science is difficult to reach the concept and realm of pure Sect. Why? Jingzong is to grasp the reality of the universe and life, which is the manifestation of deep prajnaparamita; Science, on the other hand, is the sixth knowledge to observe and compare, put forward hypothetical guesses, construct mathematical models, and accept experimental proof, which belongs to proportional reasoning. The pure Sect, which is now revealed, is perfect and complete; The science of ratiometric reasoning often deviates from the truth, and sometimes produces fallacies (for this reason, Pope puts forward the scientific standard-the principle of falsification). Therefore, pure Sect and science cannot be simply compared at the same level.
There are various differences between pure Sect and science in value goal and way of thinking. However, after all, they are facing the truth of the same object-the legal world (the universe). Therefore, there are many similarities in the conceptual schema they show. The adjustment of modern scientific thinking mode and the application of high technology have greatly broadened the horizon of human cognition of cosmic life and deepened the cognition of the mystery of cosmic life. The achievements of modern science have profoundly changed the way of thinking and world outlook of human beings. Since the 197s, western science and technology have tended to be closer to the wisdom of the East (especially Buddhism), and the internal relationship between the pure Sect and modern avant-garde science and technology has attracted increasing attention from people of insight. In this paper, the author throws a brick to attract jade, and intends to make a comparative explanation and communication on the internal relationship between the Xuanmen of Pure Sect and avant-garde scientific ideas, such as the concept of time and space, holographic law, quantum physics, computer technology, modern mathematics, etc., in order to provide a bridge of interaction between the two, inject enlightenment factors into modern science, and at the same time provide modern examples for the belief of Pure Sect, which are described as follows.
1. Multidimensional space, wide and narrow
Einstein's theory of relativity broke through the framework of Newton's absolute view of time and space and put forward the concepts of two-dimensional space and multidimensional space. It is considered that the "real" object in two-dimensional space is the projection of the point group in three-dimensional space on two-dimensional plane; Similarly, the object in three-dimensional space is the projection of the point group in four-dimensional space-time in three-dimensional space. In 1884, British pastor Albert put forward the existence of different dimensional worlds and their relationship in the form of science fiction. Two-dimensional is a plane figure, one-dimensional country is a straight line, and zero-dimensional country has only points. A math teacher in two-dimensional space experienced and visited the three-dimensional world after the enlightenment of three-dimensional people (telling two-dimensional people: "up, not north"), overlooking the two-dimensional world. The two-dimensional man accepted the three-dimensional truth, and with precise reasoning and rich imagination, begged the three-dimensional man to lead him to visit a more advanced world-the four-dimensional country (super-three-dimensional space), and even enter the five-dimensional, six-dimensional, seven-dimensional and eight-dimensional spaces.
according to the superstring theory of modern physics, we are likely to live in a higher dimensional space-time, except for the existing four-dimensional space-time, other dimensions are rolled into a small closed circle, which is not noticed. Similar to a nylon water pipe in a garden, it usually sits quietly on the grass. It looks like a two-dimensional plan from a distance, but it is a three-dimensional object with a circular tube shape when you look closely. When you look closely, it is a connector of countless circles-the space of five-dimensional space-time is similar to the circumference of this nylon water pipe, so we can't observe their existence under normal circumstances. This view was first put forward by German physicist Kaluza in 1921 and was supported by Einstein.
in the 198s, the idea of multidimensional space gained more evidence. The mathematical model of eleven-dimensional space-time intersection and infiltration is fascinating. Physicists also put forward the multi-world quantum mechanics interpretation, which supports the existence of countless "parallel" universes independently, including all galaxies, all stars and all planets, all of which really exist at the same time or even in the same space. These spaces (worlds) are usually unconnected with each other, but at the quantum level, they influence each other. This interpretation is also supported by astronomical observations. In the 198s, astronomers observed the outer space and were surprised to find that most of the matter in the universe was invisible. They once thought they were people who studied the matter in the universe. In fact, they found that they only observed a little dust that happened to glow in the universe for some strange reason. Most substances are invisible. The superstring theory describes a new kind of matter, called shadowmatter, which has no or only weak interaction with the familiar ordinary matter. All kinds of galaxies and planets composed of such shadow matter are invisible because they do not interact with our visible light. So what is the form of this kind of shadow material?
With the popularity of the "Big Bang Universe Theory" model, avant-garde scientists (such as Dirac) put forward the idea of anti-universe and antimatter and the speculation of virtual world and virtual universe. It is believed that the anti-universe is opposite to the universe in the distant place, while the virtual world is connected with the back of the real world, which corresponds to the outside, and the void exists, while the black hole (also known as the hole of time and space) is the passage between the virtual world and the real world. Avant-garde scientists' exploration of multi-dimensional space is in the stage of uncertainty and conjecture, but the flashing spark of wisdom is enough to make people think deeply.
A large number of UFO reports show that since the 197s, the United States has launched space probes to find extraterrestrial civilization, launched telecommunications to contact aliens, and continued interest in Mars, all of which are the efforts made by people on earth to find multi-dimensional space-time (extraterrestrial civilization). It can be said that the intelligent earthlings have now entered the substantive stage of handover with extraterrestrial civilization.
The classic phenomenon of pure land describes the existence of multidimensional space. In Guan Jing, Shi Zun, at the request of Mrs. Wittig, was willing to live in a "worry-free place", and reflected the beautiful land of the ten buddhas in the Buddha's top platform, which made Wittig choose. In the Mahayana Sutra of Infinite Life, Shi Zun preached the Pure Sect Dafa, first of all, the light was shining, and the ten Buddhist temples appeared in the light. Amitabha visited the 21 billion Buddhas because of the land. In this dharma meeting, blessed by the Buddha, Ananda prayed and prayed, and the paradise of Amitabha Buddha and all the saints appeared in front of the four disciples in this land. Amitabha puts infinite light in his palm, and instantly, all the buddhas' temples, heavenly palaces and even the ghosts of hungry ghosts and hell are clearly visible. Proof: Multi-dimensional space coexists everywhere. Just because of our karma, we can only see the space corresponding to karma, and we can't see the Buddha, the heaven and even the hell. The Bodhisattva's Tibetan Sutra says, "The world in the void is more numerous than all the dust in the universe, but it is not hindered by karma." The saints in the western pure land can see us, but we can't see the saints in other places. Buddhists and Bodhisattvas in the Elysium can freely reveal various dimensions of space to educate all beings without moving the Dojo.
There is no limit to space in the western paradise. A speck of dust is full of endless majesty, and among a tree, there are ten boundless Buddha countries. Wide, narrow and comfortable, and harmonious. Elysium is the hidden soil of the dharma circle, including the dharma circle and all over the dharma circle. It's incredible to call sexual merit. The quickest way for us to thoroughly understand the truth of multi-dimensional space and gain the ability to freely enter and leave various dimensions is to recite Buddha and survive in the pure land of the West.
Second, the time tunnel, thinking about robbery and harmony
The problem of time is a great challenge to human mind. Since ancient times, people have ignored the problem of time, put brackets around it, or made common sense explanations. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Einstein opened a gap in the characteristics of time and space, made a major discovery of relativity, and opened a new chapter in the study of time.
The theory of relativity shows that time is not possessed by reality itself, but a tool for people to explain the world. In other words, time is an illusion, and the description of time is relative. For one observer, it is a simultaneous event, but for another observer, it is not simultaneous. The feeling (reading) of time varies with different reference frames, and time and space penetrate and transform each other. Einstein's interpretation of the theory of relativity of time sparkles with genius. However, as for the nature of time, Einstein admitted that he was not sure: "There is something essential about theNow, which is just outside the scientific field."
Since the 197s, there has been another wave of time research in the world. In the direction of time (time arrow), avant-garde scientists believe that the duration of time is "non-linear" continuous, rather than a linear extension of a single direction (from now to the future). Time series exists in many directions at the same time. Time can be forward (pointing to the future) or from the future to the past. The mathematical expression of quantum field theory shows that there are two different ways to explain the world line, which can be regarded as a positron moving up in time and an electron moving down in reverse time. These two explanations are mathematically equivalent. An antiparticle moves from the past to the future, that is, a particle moves from the future to the past. The relativity of particle interaction indicates the symmetry of time direction. Therefore, an observation made today can affect the construction of reality in the distant past; People can also predict the future. Time causality in quantum physics level, has the magic beyond common sense.
Relativity explains the correlation between time and speed-speed increases and time delays. For photons moving at maximum speed, eternity is only a moment. This concept provides a theoretical basis and possibility for space exploration of interstellar travel. Carl Shegen, director of the Institute of Planetary Research at Cornell University in the United States, recorded that if you fly in a spaceship near the speed of light, you can fly around the universe in 56 years according to the clock of the spaceship. However, when the journey ended and returned to the earth, the earth's time had passed tens of billions of years. The sun is dead and the earth has burned to black charcoal.
approaching the speed of light can slow down time, and exceeding the speed of light can make time to go back. In 1995, a German physicist, Gü nter Nintz, made a subatomic experiment. He divided a short-wave signal into two parts. Half of the signal propagated like a normal short-wave signal, and the other half of the signal was placed with a "quantum obstacle" on its way. As a result, the short-wave signal emitted towards the quantum barrier actually travels at four times the speed of light and is received before it is sent out. This experiment shows that some things can go back to the past. If we fly in a faster-than-light spaceship,
we can catch up with the light emitted by all the things that were done on the earth before, so we can see people and events in the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Han, Zhou, Shang and Xia Dynasties just like watching a reverse movie. Since the 197s, time tunnels, black holes and white holes have been developed on the basis of relativity of time.
The above-mentioned concepts that are unavoidable in ordinary people are part of daily experience in the pure land of the West. Time has no self-nature, and the change of time is not only related to the material speed, but also related to the mind. A pure mind, sitting off the past, present and future San Ji, can transcend time, let it master time, or condense it into one thought without limit; Or a thought delay is infinite robbery; Or rob the past into the future; Or now into the past; Or the future into the present, San Ji, like, delay at the same time.
There are many records about the merits and demerits of the Pure Land Classics on the time liberation from seeing each other. In the Mahayana Infinite Life Sutra, "The Origin of Great Religion", Shi Zun first sang his own merits (in order to make the public believe in the purity of the ancestral tradition), "Being able to live in memory, living in countless millions of robberies, and living in all roots, without any increase or decrease." It shows the merits of transcending time and thinking about robbing harmony. Heaven, man, and saints in the Elysium know that they have the ability to surpass time, and they know the past and present of the ten worlds. We can know in advance when all beings in the ten worlds will be detached and when they will be born. If you want to go to the Shifang Buddhist Temple to support the Buddhas, you can go there in two places and return to the Elysium in a short time, which proves that the saints of the Elysium Bodhisattva transcend the time and space and are at ease.
Elysium is a wonderful land beyond time and space. It has neither the name of the doom of the years nor the change of the four seasons. The soil is not eroded by time, and there is no decline or change. Other people in the past are not limited by time, and their life span is endless. The liberation of heaven, man and saints in Elysium in time provides the optimal conditions for them to cultivate their cause and prove their fruit (to become a Buddha in their whole life). The relativity between Buddhism and Buddhism can also be proved in the practice of Buddhist practitioners. The western paradise is 1 trillion Buddhist temples away from the world of women. At the end of his life, Buddhist practitioners will be blessed by Amitabha Buddha, and they will be able to die in the pure land of the West with a snap of their fingers (or a moment's thought). It is proved that the boundary between time and space melts in the sympathetic situation of Buddha chanting and Amitabha. When the deceased enters the original sea of Amitabha, what difference does it make in time? Ordinary people have the merit of transcending time to read Buddha to the heart, and the following article in Guan Jing gives birth to Zhang Yun: "If you reach the heart and make your voice endless, you will have ten thoughts, saying that there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and that the Buddha is named after it, except for the crime of robbing life and death of 8 billion." Buddhist chanting is the present world, the cause of sin is the past world, and the report of sin is the future world. Ordinary people read Buddha to their hearts, and they all read it for three generations. San Ji, as well, has incredible merit.
To sum up, understanding the time theory of modern natural science is helpful for understanding the mysterious gate of the western pure land; The transcendence of the pure land in the west has a profound enlightenment to the study of contemporary time theory. Most of the confusion of ordinary people is caused by the bondage of time and space. Studying the characteristics of time with the mind of birth and death is just like sitting in a chair and trying to lift it. Therefore, contemporary avant-garde scientists should turn to Jingzong for enlightenment if they want to get out of the strange circle of time research. Those who want to get rid of the time constraints should also strive for fame and prove that they are chanting Buddha samadhi.
third, holographic interpenetration, endless
Modern avant-garde science has a revolutionary transformation in its way of thinking, that is, it regards the universe as an organic dynamic network, ranging from galaxies outside the river to basic particles and genetic DNA. Among them, the part and the whole interpenetrate, that is, endless, full of beauty and magic, try to give several examples to prove it.
according to modern physics, there are no initial elementary particles in the material world, and each particle contains some personalities of other particles. Several particles generate themselves in a self-consistent state and are related to each other to form a dynamic organic network. Each particle helps to produce other particles, which in turn produce it. This principle of mutual infiltration and mutual complement is embodied in a famous experiment of quantum physics. Physicist Bohr predicted that if a particle is divided into two halves, the two molecules will move in opposite directions (one rotates clockwise and the other reverses counterclockwise) without interference, and move to very far places (such as the two ends of the universe). If scientists observe one of them, it will promote the "immediate" reaction of the other molecule, and it is a symmetrical reaction (the reaction of forward rotation and reverse rotation). Bohr's prediction was confirmed by Aspect's experiment in 1982, which proved that there is a superluminal connection between distant space-time regions, and two particle parts separated to the two ends of the universe can form a single organic whole in some way, which can be instantly sensed. This experimental result, which puzzles and shocks the scientific community, is holographic and interpenetrating with one method.
