Since the September 11th incident in the United States, the entire world has been in a state of instability, conflicts have increased and escalated, and the people have longed for peace. But where is the source of peace? Where is the root of the conflict? Observe carefully and realize that this is not outside at all, but in our hearts.
Harmony, harmony is the most precious, is the law of nature (the universe is originally harmonious, just like the human body is originally harmonious and healthy). Harmony is the inherent virtue of our nature. The founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, when he was enlightened and enlightened, he said the first sentence from deep meditation, which is: "Wonderful! Wonderful! All sentient beings in the world have the same things as Buddha. Wisdom, light, harmony, and virtue cannot be manifested only because they are covered by delusions, troubles, greed and attachments."
Our nature is pure and pure, and peaceful. As the Chinese Confucian said, "At the beginning of human beings, human nature is inherently good." Why did it become unkind and confrontational? That's because of the function of habit. The habit is the acquired knowledge and insights, and by clinging to these insights and not giving way, peace is broken and conflicts and confrontations arise. So to restore peace, you must first start from your own heart. First, resolve the conflict between your inner nature and habits. Letting go of the inner thoughts of controlling and possessing all people, things, and things, letting go of greed and hatred, and all deeds that harm others and self-interest, can fundamentally resolve all conflicts in the world and restore true peace.
The fundamental return of peace to the heart is based on the theoretical basis of Buddhist classics and the evidence of modern scientific experiments.
In Buddhism’s most famous classic "Hua Yan Sutra", it says: "If people want to know, all Buddhas in the three generations should observe the nature of the Dharma and create everything based on their minds." (See "Hua Yan Sutra, Volume 19, Yemo Palace" This sentence means that the universe and the world’s life are created by our mind and deeds-only the mind is present, and only the consciousness changes. Another well-known classic "Shou Shurangama Sutra" (Volume 1) said: "All dharmas are born from the heart. All cause and effect, the dust of the world, the body is formed by the mind." pregnancy". Our thoughts, our minds, affect everything on the outside. This truth is very deep. The "Hua Yan Sutra" fully explained this problem. I'm currently teaching this sutra. I have spoken for more than two thousand five hundred hours. I haven't finished it yet. Now I can only cite an analogy: dreaming is an experience that everyone has. We have a good mentality and we often have beautiful dreams. If our mentality is fierce, we will often have nightmares. Where do dreams come from? All the realms, all the characters, all the mountains, rivers and earth in the dream are not realized by our minds?
Modern science has gradually confirmed this. Dr. Emoto Katsushika from Japan has conducted research on water for ten years and found that the human mind can change the shape of water crystals. Kindness and good thoughts can make the crystal shape of water beautiful, and disgusting and evil thoughts can make the crystal shape of water ugly. For example, put a cup of water with the words "peace" and another cup with the words "war". After a period of time, through instrumental observation, it will be found that the water crystals of the former have become very beautiful, while the water crystals of the latter have become very ugly. Dr. Masaru Emoto’s scientific discoveries were valued by the United Nations Headquarters and he was invited to New York, USA to give a report. I personally invited Dr. Jiang Bensheng to come to Australia and gave three test reports on his ten-year water research at Jingzong College, Griffith University, and University of Southern Queensland. These reports fully demonstrate that "the mind can affect material changes, and the mind can affect and change the external environment." This discovery has brought new thinking to people’s lives, has brought a new plan for environmental protection workers to purify people’s hearts before purifying the environment, and has brought far-reaching enlightenment to peace workers: only to eliminate their inner conflicts. , Injustice and disputes can achieve external harmony, the stability and peace of the family, society and the universe. There is a famous saying in our Buddhist scriptures: "A pure heart leads to a pure land." We have found the source of peace-in our hearts.
