Thoughts are the master of the universe
念頭是宇宙的主宰 - 第104集
「蓋以眾生妄心」，眾生妄心是我們現前的樣子，「念念相續」，前念滅後念生，「如急流水，從未暫息」。我們每天念頭多少自己不知道，佛告訴我們，這個也不能不知道，不知道就迷惑，知道是覺悟，這個覺悟幫助我們放下情執，所以有好處。彌勒菩薩告訴我們，我們講一念，一念多長的時間，彌勒菩薩說，一彈指有多少個念頭？有三十二億百千念，這一彈指。一百個千是十萬，三十二億乘十萬，三百二十兆，這一彈指。
The deluded mind of sentient beings is incessant, with one thought arising after another ceases, just like the rapids that never respite. We have no idea how many thoughts we have every day. The Buddha told us that we must not be unaware of this, because we are deluded if we do not know how many thoughts we have, and are enlightened if we know. The advantage of being enlightened is it helps us to let go of our psychological attachment. How long is the duration of one thought? How many thoughts are there in one finger-snap? Maitreya Bodhisattva told us that there are 320 trillion (3.2 billion times 100,000 is 320 trillion) thoughts in one finger-snap.
現在我們科學是用秒做單位，一秒鐘能彈多少次？有人說可以彈七次，我彈不到，我彈不到七次，我大概最快能彈到五次。就算乘五，一千六百兆。一秒鐘有一千六百兆次的生滅，就在你眼前，你怎麼會知道？你無法發現，它太快了。這個現象現代量子力學家發現了，現在量子的儀器可以能捕捉到一千兆分之一秒，它能捕捉到。
Science now uses second as the unit of time. How many times can we snap in one second? Someone told me that he can snap up to seven times but the fastest I can snap is about five times. Assuming that we multiply by five, there are 1600 trillion thoughts arising and ceasing before your eyes in one second. How would you know this? Its arising and ceasing happens too fast that you can never know them! This phenomenon had been discovered by modern quantum physicists because the current quantum instruments can capture 1000-trillionth of a second.
彌勒菩薩這個說法，大概是一千六百兆分之一秒，比現在科學還多一點，這整個宇宙在這個頻率下出現的，如果這個念頭一斷，宇宙就沒有了。宇宙不是大爆炸發生的，是從我們念頭變現出來的，念頭是宇宙的主宰。如果我們承認這句話，肯定這句話，相信佛說的是真的，我們的身體自己就能照顧了。為什麼？用最好的念頭，什麼病痛都沒有了。
The frequency estimated by Maitreya Bodhisattva is about 1600-trillionth of a second, which is slightly higher than the frequency detectable by the current scientific instruments. Since the entire universe appears at this frequency, it would disappear if these thoughts were cut off. The universe did not come into existence because of a massive explosion (the big bang); it was manifested from our thoughts. That’s why thoughts are the master of the universe. If we confirm this saying and believe what the Buddha said is true, then we can take care of our own body. Why is that so? Because all illnesses and pains can be kept at bay as long as we harbour the best thoughts.
