Did Buddhism say how this initial "ignorance" came about?

This question is the highest question in philosophy.

Buddha Sakyamuni sighed: awesome! Everyone has the wisdom and virtue of Tathagata, but it can't be proved by delusion and persistence. Let go of persistence, but have the delusion of parting, and you will become an arhat; Letting go of persistence and separation is the realm of bodhisattva, but there are still delusions; Let go of the persistent delusion of separation and you will become a Buddha.

Bodhisattva's delusion is 4 1 ignorance, and the final ignorance is the problem of Jue Yuan Bodhisattva: Since all beings are Buddhas, how did all beings become all beings, and how did the initial ignorance come about?

According to the Jue Yuan Sutra, the Buddha did not give a direct answer. Only a few metaphors are used to explain it. For example, our eyes are sick, and we see a flower in the sky. When did this flower appear? Who created it?

No flowers. There are no flowers at all. It's just your eyes that make you hallucinate. Something that doesn't exist at all, how do you think it appeared and when?

Therefore, Buddhists say that all dharmas are born by thinking.

1, "Biography of General Li in Historical Records"-Go hunting widely, see a stone in the grass, shoot it as a tiger, the stone misses the arrow, see it, and the stone is also. Because I shot too much, I couldn't get back into the stone. At first glance, I thought it was a tiger. Of course, I can shoot real people. When "separation and persistence" came into being, I knew it was not a tiger, but a stone, and I could never photograph it again. Conclusion: That's what you think. Someone got malignant cancer, optimistic and cheerful, and recovered soon; Some people get benign tumors, are disheartened and worried, and soon turn into malignant tumors.

For the same person, you think he is annoying, and I think he is pleasing to the eye; For the same thing, I think it is a good thing, and you think it is a bad thing; For a beautiful woman, I think her eyes are beautiful, and you think her mouth is charming ... So, what is the so-called absolutely "objective" phenomenon? Any so-called "objective" thing is no longer the original "objective" thing itself after our subjective processing. So what we see, hear, smell (some people hate the taste of parsley, others like the taste of parsley), taste, touch and think of are not the objective things themselves. It's like looking at yourself in a glass mirror, and that image is not you.

Liezi records that there was a man named Huazi in the Fan family who liked to raise chivalrous people privately and was admired by the whole country. He is very popular with the monarch of the state of Jin. Although he has no official position, he is above the three ministers. Whoever he likes, the monarch will give him the title; The monarch will remove anyone who speaks ill of him. There are as many people discussing in his hall as in the court. Hanako let the wise and fools among his knights attack each other, and the strong and the weak insult each other. Although the wounded and bleeding man was lying in front of him, he didn't care. Playing this game all day and all night has almost become a national custom.

Wo Sheng and Zi Bo are knights from Fan Jiajie. They used to go out to play, pass by remote rural areas and live in the home opened by the old farmer Shangqiu. In the middle of the night, WoSheng and Apollo talked about Hanako's fame and strength, which can make the living die and the cursed survive. The rich are poor, and the poor are rich.

Shangqiu was always hungry and cold before opening the door, so she quietly hid under the north window to eavesdrop on their conversation. Then he borrowed food, picked up a dustpan and went to Hanako's house. Hanako's disciples all came from a big family, dressed in silks and satins, riding high cars, marching in four directions, only looking at the sky. They saw that Shangqiu Kai was old and frail, with a dark face and disheveled clothes, and everyone looked down on him. Then tease him, insult him, cheat him, push him, throw him, hit him, whatever it takes. Shangqiu is not unhappy at all. Chivalrous people have exhausted their means and are tired of teasing and ridicule.

So he boarded the high platform with Shangqiu Kai, and someone in the crowd casually said, "Who can jump off the platform and get a hundred gold?" Everyone is scrambling to respond. Shangqiu opened the letter and thought it was true. He jumped off the stage first, shaped like a bird, and fell to the ground unscathed.

Fan's disciples thought it was an accidental success, so they didn't feel too strange. Then he pointed to the deep water in the bend of the river and said, "There are pearls in the water. You can touch them by swimming. " Shangqiu opened and jumped into the water. After swimming out of the water, I really got the orb. Everyone began to feel strange, and Hanako let him join the ranks of eating meat and wearing silk.

Not long after, a fire broke out in Fan's warehouse. Hanako said, "Some of you can go into the fire and take out silks and satins, and you will be rewarded according to how much you take out." Shangqiu has no difficulty in driving into the fire, coming and going several times. The smoke didn't stain the face, and the body wasn't burnt. Fan's disciples thought he had any Taoist skills, so they all apologized to him and said, "We lied to you because we didn't know you had Taoist skills, and we insulted you because we didn't know you were a man of God. You can treat us as idiots, you can treat us as deaf, and you can treat us as blind. We boldly ask you for help. "

Shangqiu said, "I don't have any magic skills. Even in my heart, I don't know what is going on. Even so, I still have a feeling in my heart, so I'll tell you. You two chivalrous men used to live in my house, and I heard that they boasted about their great power, which could let the living die and the cursed live; The rich are poor, and the poor are rich. I sincerely believe that there is no doubt about it, so I am not afraid to travel long distances. After I came, I felt that everything you said was true and reliable, and I was afraid that I was not sincere enough and didn't move quickly. I don't know where my body is and where my benefits are, but I just focus on it. Foreign things can't change my heart, that's all. I didn't know you were lying to me until today, so my heart was full of speculation and doubts. I should pay attention to what I saw and heard outside, and remember that I was lucky not to be burned or drowned in the past. I still have a fever and tremble with fear. How can I get close to fire and water again? "

From then on, Fan's disciples met beggars, horse doctors and other poor people on the road, and dared not insult them any more. They had to get off the bus and pay their respects. I heard about it and told Confucius. Confucius said, "Isn't it Zhihu? The most sincere person can touch everything. People who can touch the ghosts and gods and rule the world without violating the rules are not only in danger, but also in fire and water! Shangqiu's false faith has not been hindered, not to mention that you and I are sincere! You must keep it in mind! "

In medical college, a professor did an experiment, that is, the professor gave each student a medicine, saying that this medicine would raise blood pressure; Blood pressure was measured shortly after taking the medicine, and it did rise. In fact, this medicine is just a powdered sugar. There is also a story about a patient who went to the hospital with a cold and cough. After X-ray examination in the hospital, he said that he had lung cancer. After the patient got the news, his condition got worse, he could hardly get out of bed and died in bed. A week later, the hospital called to apologize, saying that he had re-examined the original X-ray and found that his illness was just a common cold, not lung cancer. When the patient heard the news, he jumped out of bed at once and recovered soon.

From the above two stories, the truth of the Buddha's theory is just verified: "All laws are born from the heart" and "All laws are born from the heart". So I believe that some cancer patients die not because of' cancer', but because of' cancer'! As long as we don't care about the disease, always take "benefit all beings" and "serve all beings" as our thoughts, and put aside all delusions, persistence and differences, we won't be upset because of a little unsatisfactory pavilion, and we won't lose our temper and call names because of a little trifle, so our body and mind will be pure and natural, and everything will be solved naturally.
