科學家的結論物質是從念頭產生的幻相 - 第96集

Scientists concluded that matter is an illusion arising from thoughts

最近這八十年發現原子,八十年前發現原子,那個時候認為原子是物質最小的單位,不能再分了。隨著科學儀器的進步,居然把原子打破了,打破看看是什麼,看到原子核、看到電子、看到中子,原來原子是這些東西組合的,不是單純的。把這些東西各個再打破,原子核打破,電子打破,中子打破,發現粒子,很多種不同的粒子,科學稱為基本粒子。這個粒子依舊還能分,分出來發現,科學叫夸克,有幾十種之多。

Atom was thought to be the smallest unit of matter (which cannot be further divided) when it was discovered eighty years ago. With the advancement of scientific instruments, it turns out that atoms are composed of nucleus, electrons and neutrons when they were broken unexpectedly. They are not purely one single element. When each of these elements was broken, they found many different kinds of particles (called ‘elementary particles’ in science). These particles can still be divided. When they were further divided, dozens of quarks were found.

這個東西再分,發現了微中子,就是佛經上講的極微之微,為什麼?它再一分沒有了,空了。空了發現什麼個現象?念頭波動的現象。這個發現是非常了不起的成就,所以科學家得的結論,世界上根本就沒有物質這個東西,物質是假的不是真的。物質是什麼?物質是從念頭產生的幻相。就跟佛家講的「相由心生」、「色由心生」,佛法講的色、講的相就是物質現象。

When these quarks were divided again, they found neutrino (called ‘ultra-micro-material’ in Buddhism). Why is it called such? Because they found nothing after neutrino was further divided. What phenomenon did they find? They found the phenomenon of fluctuating thoughts. This discovery is a very remarkable achievement. That’s why scientists had come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as matter in the world. Matter is illusory and not real. What is matter? It is an illusion arising from thoughts. Just like the Buddhists say, “All phenomena arise from the mind.” The phenomena mentioned in Buddhism refer to the physical phenomena.

最小的物質現象是物質的基礎,它從哪裡來的?從念頭來的。所以佛經上有,「相由心生」、「境隨心轉」,境是物質環境,是隨著人念頭在轉。佛經上這些話,幾千年來沒有人講得清楚,沒有人講得明白,縱然講清楚、講明白,沒人相信。今天的科學家,用最新的儀器觀察證明了,真的,不是假的。

The smallest physical phenomenon is the basis of matter. Where does matter come from? It comes from people’s thoughts. That’s why there are such sayings in the Buddhist sutras i.e., all phenomena arise from the mind and the environment changes according to the mind. ‘Environment’ refers to the physical environment which changes according to people’s thoughts. No one had made clear these Buddhist sayings for thousands of years. Even if someone did, nobody would believe it. Today’s scientists have proven it by using the latest equipment to observe matter. This is true and not false.
