宇宙的三種現象為什麼是虛妄的 - 第161集

Why are the three phenomena of the universe illusory?

彌勒菩薩講,「一彈指三十二億百千念」,百千是十萬,三十二億乘十萬,得出的數字是三百二十兆。三百二十兆一彈指,這個頻率多高!就在我們眼前,什麼東西?所有一切物質,我們眼睛能看的,耳朵能聽的,鼻能聞的,舌能嘗的,身體所接觸的,所有一切現象都是在這種頻率裡頭產生的。一秒鐘生滅多少次?就是畫面,前面一張滅了,後頭一張又生了,它不是相續相,相續相張張是一樣,叫相續相,所以叫大同小異。

Maitreya Bodhisattva said, “There are 320 trillion (3.2 billion times 100,000 is 320 trillion) thoughts in one finger-snap” -- this frequency is so high! What is happening before our eyes? All the physical phenomena (which our eyes can see, our ears can hear, our nose can smell, our tongue can taste and our body can touch) are produced at this frequency. How many arisings and ceasing are there in one second? The images arise and cease one after another, but they are not incessant images because if they are incessant, then every image is the same. So, they are called ‘almost similar yet slightly different.’

我們侷限在眼前這個範圍之內,這個範圍太小,所以好像是大同小異,實際上不然,是小同大異,為什麼?整個宇宙變化就大了。我們看到香港這一角,其他沒看到,你看到整個大陸就不一樣了,香港沒有變化,大陸有,何況發展到遍法界虛空界,今天講的全宇宙。整個宇宙怎麼來的?就是這個波動現象產生的。

We are confined within the range before our eyes which is too small, so it seems that the images are the same, but in fact they are different. Why are they different? Because the whole universe has changed a great deal. For instance, we only see this corner of Hong Kong, but not other places. Our view would be different if we look at the entire mainland because Hong Kong has no change but the mainland has, not to mention if the scope is expanded to the entire empty space of the Dharma realms (i.e., known as the whole universe today). How did the whole universe come into being? It was produced by this fluctuating phenomenon.

這樁事情逐漸逐漸會被科學家證明,這是佛法上講的宇宙。今天物質現象這個祕密被科學家揭穿了,跟佛經講的完全相同,物質是假的不是真的。所以佛講「凡所有相皆是虛妄」,物質現象、精神現象、自然現象統統是虛妄的。從哪裡來的?心現的,識變的。

This matter would gradually be proven by scientists. This is the universe according to Buddhism. Today, the mystery of physical phenomena has been revealed by scientists. What they proclaimed are exactly the same as what the Buddhist sutras say: matter is illusory and not real. That’s why the Buddha said, “Everything with form is illusory (unreal).” Physical phenomena, as well as mental and natural phenomena are all illusory. Where did they come from? They are manifested by the true nature and had been altered by the Alaya.

經上講的一真法界,講的極樂世界,跟我們這個世界不一樣,我們這個世界心現識變,有識變,那個世界沒有變化。換句話說,它不是像我們放電影,因為它沒有這個頻率。十法界有頻率,六道有頻率,一真法界沒有頻率。為什麼?它是清淨的。

The One True Dharma Realm (i.e., the Land of Ultimate Bliss) mentioned in the sutra is different from our world because the latter is manifested by the true nature and had been altered by the Alaya, but the former is not changed. In other words, unlike our world, the frequency of movies does not exist in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. The Ten Dharma Realms (including the Six Realms) have this frequency, but not the One True Dharma Realm. Why is that so? Because the One True Dharma Realm is pure.

它有現相,有不現相,只有現跟不現,沒有當中的生滅相,一彈指三十二億百千念它沒有。所以那個地方的現相是永恆不變的,不能說相續,相續是動的,它不動。所以那個相叫真的,不生不滅。

It will either manifest or not manifest phenomena, but there are no phenomena of arising and ceasing in between, because 320 trillion thoughts in one finger-snap does not exist in that realm. That’s why the phenomena in that realm are eternal. We cannot say that its phenomena are incessant because they are stationary. Hence, that phenomena are called ‘real’ (i.e., not subject to arising and ceasing).
