The Essence of Buddha Dharma---ZhenLin

Buddha dharma is a broad and profound science which contains all the evolution of matters in the cosmos.

Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist of the 20th century in our human’s history, put forward the law of conservation of energy that all matters in the nature contains energy. It can neither be created nor destroyed, but only changed from one form to another, transferred from one object(body) to another. The total amount of energy in the process of energy conversion and transmission remains constant (the same).

Our Gautama Buddha said that the Buddha-nature is eternal, all the living has the Buddha-nature. The energy inferred in Einstein’s theory is the Buddha-nature proposed by Gautama Buddha. They talked about the same thing choosing different words in different eras.

Having discovered the existence of the energy, Einstein could not fully control and take use of it. However, our Gautama Buddha could easily control it. Furthermore he led us to experience and control it like him by practicing the enlightenment.

Buddha dharma is a huge system which can not be illustrated thoroughly in a word or two. Take the nuclear bomb for example, all of us heard of it, but we can not answer the following questions in a few words. What is it made out of ? why does it has such a big power? How is it be created? And so on.To grasp the core knowledge of a nuclear bomb, we should get into this area and study conscientiously. The same is true of Buddha dharma. Without practicing, you are always standing outside…

Certainly, any object or science will be commented as the sightseeing be commented by different people at different stage. If a person stands on the first floor, he can only see the scenery of courtyard. The person who stands on the second floor can see further and wider. The higher , the further.

Supposing that the person on the 10th floor is talking about the scenery he saw to the one on the first floor(who never went to the 10th floor) .The one on the first floor who definitely does not believe that there are mountains, rivers and streets outside……

So being Buddha dharma practitioners who experience the cosmos truth, we will not comment. Instead, we just practice and keep the hearts peace by looking but seeing not, listening but hearing not.
