佛在禪定當中看到了宇宙人生的真相 - 第97集

所以科學家很感慨的說,近代四百年科學的發展,產生嚴重的錯誤,這個錯誤就是二分法。科學家把這個宇宙之間的現象分成二分,物理跟心理,這二分法是錯誤的。從現在的發現知道心理跟物理不能分割,它是一不是二,分開來產生許許多多錯誤的概念,做錯了很多事情。

That’s why scientists lamented that the development of science in the recent four hundred years had resulted in the serious mistake of dichotomy whereby the phenomena in this universe have been divided into two parts, namely, physical and mental. From the recent findings, we know that physical and mental phenomena are one and indivisible. Dividing them into two has led to many erroneous concepts, thereby a lot of things have been wrongly done.

所以科學帶給我們不是圓滿的幸福,負面的作用比正面更大,這就是二分法錯誤所形成的。科學家現在佩服佛法了,他們最近才發現,釋迦牟尼佛三千年前就講清楚了,到現在才證明佛講的是真的。佛怎麼知道的?佛不需要科學儀器,是從禪定當中看到的,看到了事實真相,這不是假的。經上講八地以上,大乘經上常說,八地以上的菩薩都看清楚、都看明白了宇宙人生的真相。

That’s why science does not bring us perfect happiness. Due to the erroneous concept of dichotomy, it brings us greater negative effects than positive ones. Scientists now admire Buddhism because they only discovered and proved recently what Sakyamuni Buddha said three thousand years ago is true. How did the Buddha know this reality? The Buddha did not need scientific instruments because he saw this reality in samadhi (i.e., meditative concentration). It is often mentioned in the Mahayana sutras that bodhisattvas above the eighth ground stage of bodhisattva practice have clearly seen and understood the reality of human life and the universe.
