What does the Buddha teach about the survival of the universe?

)

Many spend a lot of time and energy thinking, making assumptions and arguments about issues related to the universe, such as:

- Is the universe born of nothingness (from nothingness)?

- Is the world created by a creator?

Many religions (other than the dhamma) seek to solve the above problems in an arbitrary, ambiguous way, based on imagination and myth. A number of people, including scholars and great scientists, have spent most of their lives in question with unanswered questions and no basis for answering them. They make contradictory arguments based on illusory material, strange fantasies, lack of bases, leading to fierce controversies, misunderstandings and possibly lead to violent acts. , extremism or religious warfare.

Question 86 (CH86): Is the world born of nothingness?

A. No, nothing can be born from nothing.

CH 87: Is not there a Creator (a God, a God, a God) created this world in his mind?

A: No, there is no creator. Life in the world is not the will of anybody. All things are born and developed only by their nature and conditions. By ignorance (ignorance) that people believe in having a certain Creator born in the world. The Buddha completely rejected the unbelieving belief in a creator and suggested that the myth of the Creator and the hypothesis of the universe of nothingness were illusions.

(For the followers of the Buddha, the phrase 'World Creation' only means 'Reinventing a system that has existed but has lost'. In this respect, modern science has the same view that the Buddha has had in the past twenty-five centuries.

CHi 88: Does the Buddha teach the survival of the universe?

A: No.

CH 89: Why?

A: Because this is beyond human understanding. Moreover, even if one knows this, it does not make any spiritual advancement, which leads to the cessation of suffering, liberation and nirvana. Imagination, the desire for worldly knowledge and abstract reasoning always seek to find a futile explanation of the beginning of time, the limits of space, the origin and the survival of the universe. universe or of man.

CH 90: So there is no way to explain the mysteries of the survival of the universe?
A: No, because there is no finite expression, whether thought or words, that can be fully explained to the infinite, nor can there be a thought or a word. Derived from a chain of causes and conditions that can explain the phenomenon of random or infinite. Yet many other religions have deliberately attempted to explain these phenomena. That only leads to futile, unfounded judgments, strange fantasies; It leads to an unwarranted argument, misunderstanding, even a catastrophic killing and war. That is the source of the mischief, evil and suffering in the world, should be true, good and happy. Thus, while in the Buddha, these problems were removed to the side and his disciples were not to be bothered by these unreasonable problems.

Lead: "Do not be anxious, as you are, to be mindful of the things of the world, whether limited or unlimited; should concentrate only on the suffering, the source of suffering and the way to eradicate suffering. "

"You monks and nuns - six paths to go - there is no beginning and no end. Human origin can not be measured. People are submerged in ignorance (ignorance), are attracted by the passion (love) so wandering wandering way from the past '.

The Buddha accepts the presence of the world and of man as a reality. The Buddha does not question the origin of the world's survival. He is concerned only with questions such as: How is our mysterious life? What's the purpose? Where does it lead? Then he found the answer that it only led to an endless cycle: birth, aging, sickness and death (birth, aging, illness, death); then re-born; The rotation goes on like this. This cycle is the cycle of human suffering. He taught us the way of practicing to escape the cycle of suffering.

The Buddha advised those who are still immersed with unrequited questions that lead to nothing as mentioned above, then quickly return to repairing the heart and body (mind-body) of his new hope to escape suffering. , if not, will die before finding answers to those questions. The Buddha illustrates the parable of a person who was hit by a poison arrow in the Middle Ages.

CH 91: So we can never know the mystery?

A: If we are attached to the passion, into our life and to ourselves, we can never know the mystery. Only those who live according to the teachings of the Buddha, eliminate the chains of life, reach the Awakening and Deliverance, then in the light of wisdom the perfection of all things will appear radiant; The haze obscures the mystery that will melt away with all the passion and attachment to the I. In order to achieve such a dharma followers only need to follow the same Eightfold Path (Eightfold Path or Middle Path) that the Buddha taught.END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.7/4/2018.
