唯心淨土

Note:

 Extensions of the metaphysical concepts:

Plato's theory of "forms" embraces all phenomena, all beings, all appearances in the spatio-temporal universe. In Buddhism these are called dharma, and in Confucianism, beings; they are identical with the real forms of all things whose altered states are perceived by the Primordial Mind. Plato's God is clearly distinct from the "Lord God" of Jesus. Jesus' God can create all things, whereas Plato's God is able to emulate the forms of all things in the universe and install them in space, and to transport all the ideal values of all truth, goodness, and beauty in the metaphysical domain, which are intermingled, combined and channeled into the lower world, just as the original image and material are appropriately merged to become the actual "natural universe". All actions, all forms, and all images revealed in the natural universe are known as "the reality of the dharma realm" in Buddhist terminology. For example, the content of the reality of the dharma-realm often gratefully praised by the faithful in Sung Ch'i-li's physical dissociation, the total content of the reality seen by the faithful may be subsumed in what Plato calls "natural universe".

The Platonic natural universe is the altered state perceived by Plato's Primordial Mind, on a par with Jesus' vision of God's kingdom of heaven. However, Jesus regards the kingdom of heaven and God as object, while Plato regards the deity and its image as subject. Plato's chief disciple Aristotle follows Plato's system of thought and formulates his metaphysical ontology. Substance is subject, Primordial Mind, essence! In Aristotle's conception all existence in the universe has to be determined, transformed and brought into being through substance. Hence substance unifies all existence in the universe (Confucianism-Taoism: The universe is in my mind, my mind is the universe; Buddhism: all dharma consists in the mind's intention). Hence the Aristotelian metaphysical conception that "all existence in the spiritual universe is dependent on its spiritual substance for its being." As stated in Buddhist scripture: "Just as Amitabha has his own nature, so does Pure Land lie in the mind." The Flower Ornament Sutra states: "The buddha of the three ages and in the ten directions must look at the nature of the dharma realm and come to a realization that all things in the universe are created by the mind." The scriptures also state: "The three realms are created only by the mind; a single mind produces all dharma." In sum. When the Primordial Mind of humankind reveals itself, it is intimately interrelated with all phenomena of the universe. Sung Ch'i-li's talent for physical dissociation follows the trends and is reasonably manifested in Canada. If the Primordial Mind of humankind is blighted, then the realm of ultimate bliss and Pure Land of the Buddha will also cease to exist. Therefore, Plato's natural universe, Aristotle's spiritual universe, and the material universe created by the God of Jesus must all exist through the Primordial Mind.

The God of Plato emulates images, and transports the idea of "natural universe" formed by the images; thus one can understand the saying of Jesus: "The kingdom of heaven is at hand."The approach of the kingdom of heaven from afar suggests that the kingdom of heaven, by way of the conscious alteration of Jesus' Primordial Mind, brings about the phenomenon of transporting movement. It is this emulation of transporting the vision of the kingdom of heaven that constitutes the imminent advent of the kingdom of heaven. When the Pharisees asked Jesus: "When will the kingdom of God arrive?" Jesus replied: "The coming of the kingdom of God cannot be seen by the eye; one cannot say: Look, it's here; or Behold, it's there; because the kingdom of God is in your mind." Precisely because the kingdom of God cannot be seen by the physical eye, but is seen by the eye of the Primordial Mind, it belongs in the category of formless form, i.e., true form. When the kingdom of God descends, it will be neither here nor there. This shows that God's kingdom has no fixity, but is characterized by motion. Knowing that its existence depends on the conscious alteration of the Primordial Mind, Jesus had to say: "The kingdom of God is in your mind." Since Jesus had already said that the kingdom of God could not be seen with the eye, as it is located in the mind, the only way to see God's kingdom is by manifesting the Primordial Mind. Moreover, the kingdom of God cannot be entered by the body of flesh and blood, as Paul mentions in his First Letter to the Corinthians, 15:50: "...flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." One must be resurrected from "the body of flesh and blood" and transformed into "the spiritual body", only then can one enter the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God comes after the resurrection. The "resurrection" in the Bible precisely means the manifestation of the Primordial Mind, and "the spiritual body" refers to physical dissociation. Resurrection (Manifestation) of the Primordial Mind is transformed into physical dissociation! Hence we know that the kingdom of heaven seen by Jesus belongs in Plato's natural universe (spiritual universe). The multitudinous phenomena, entities, acts, and forms manifested in this natural universe coercively bring about the distorted interpretation of the biblical statement that "God created all things" as meaning the "material universe". Instead of saying that God created the material universe, it is better to say that the Primordial Mind in its consciousness (conception) emulates (makes manifest) the "natural universe". By the same token, the realm of ultimate bliss described by the Buddha and the kingdom of God spoken of by Jesus suggest that the spiritual universe (natural universe) is formed by the conscious changes of the Primordial Mind. The Buddhist realm of ultimate bliss may be located in the Buddhist kingdom billions of miles away, or it may be right before one's eyes. It moves from afar to right before Wei Tixi's eyes for viewing, to cause Wei Tixi to yearn for rebirth in the realm of ultimate bliss. The manner of descent or approach from far to near proves that the myriad phenomena of the universe can, by way of the transporting imagery of the Primordial Mind, change and switch positions, while possessing the substantiality and tangibility of the material universe. Hence, the natural universe is closer to perfection than the material universe and is of more ideal value. The material universe is subject to change in shape and to destruction, so it is not perfect. The natural universe (spiritual universe) on the other hand is permanently indestructible, permanently in existence. Because the Primordial Mind of humankind permanently exists, it follows that the natural universe also permanently exists. Only through transformation of the Primordial Mind into physical dissociation can humans enter the kingdom of God and the realm of ultimate bliss. And only by means of the ability to enter can one partake of the permanent ideal value of life, and realize life's meaning of turning finiteness into infinity. Following this concept, one can understand how Sung Ch'i-li has appeared in Canada by way of physical dissociation, and the puzzles of all those photographs showing manifestations of letting a city enter a room, moving mountains and overturning oceans, as well as switching the positions of heaven and earth, can also be solved without a hitch.
