Now I finally know why Amber can become a Buddhist seven treasure.

Material language analysis

The relationship between amber and Buddhist thought

Amber, one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, has a deep connection with Buddhist culture. In the Liao Dynasty, where the Buddhism flourished, Amber was very popular. In the Qing Dynasty, Tibetan Buddhism was used as the state religion. The Qing government provided a large number of amber implements to various temples in Tibet. Amber Buddhist relics were unearthed at Famen Temple Palace, Sibei Tower in Chaoyang City, Tianjin Dule Temple, and Qingzhou Baita in Bahrain Right Banner, Inner Mongolia.

These historical artifacts prove to us the external connection between amber and Buddhism. So, what is the intrinsic connection between amber and the basic ideas of Buddhism? It is a pity that no specific analysis and description have been found in many Buddhist books, and it is for this reason that the author has given more thoughts on this connection. In the process of analyzing the language of materials, the author boldly thinks that the concept of "time" may be the bridge connecting amber and Buddhist emptiness.

Weng Zhenwei, author of "The Holy Land"

In the original work of "Heart Sutra", the "empty" is the meaning of self-empty, and the "five implications are empty" is also regarded as "the five connotations are all empty." Empty is no self, it is a negation of self. The phenomenal world does not have a constant, resident entity. But the sexual space is not nothing, nor is it a phenomenon outside the space or a different emptiness space, but the essence of the phenomenon. The world we can perceive is the composition of the sensory material that flashes instantly. The series of moments of events constitutes everything. Entities are instantaneous, they are destroyed, and their essence is destined to be destroyed without traces. Except for the existence of the moment, there is no other eternal reality. The essence of constitutive reality is movement, and its causality, that is, the interdependence of successive moments, causes a illusion of stability and continuity. The ultimate truth is only instantaneous, the external world is not stable, and there is only a series of external changes.

In people's common sense, time is often sensibly divided into past, present and future. The things of the past are different from the things of today. Today's things are things that have changed in the past and are moving. The things of the past are left in the past, and today's things are left in the present, it is quiet. The past no longer exists, there is no existence in the future, things that do not exist cannot be measured, and what can be measured is only the present, because only now exists. In fact, there is only one time, now. Time is now, now is eternal, still.

This is the mysterious interpretation of Buddhism's change between time and things. So how does the amber material itself form? Amber is a resin dripping from tens of millions of years ago. It is buried in the underground for thousands of years. It is formed by petrochemicals under the action of pressure and heat. It can also be considered as a "corpine fossil". The dripping of the resin is usually wrapped with things that existed at the moment, such as plants and animals. Time is no longer flowing here, things are not changing in the time of flow, but every moment is an independent "plane", things are static on every plane, time is It is an infinitely divided slice.

At the moment the resin drips, the time is broken, and the things wrapped are also the things that exist in the node after the infinite division. In this node, things are immobile and unchanged. And because things are immobile and unchanging at every moment, everything in the world is immobile and unchanged. As the saying goes: "If you know what you are going to, you don't come, but you can go to this thing. Why? If you don't come, things will go. If you want to go to things, you can't miss them. Nowadays, there is no such thing as today... Rotating the Yue and the Chang Jing, the rivers are not competing, the wild horses are not moving, the sun and the moon are not the week. What is the strange?

In summary, the basic idea of ​​Buddhism is that the existence of things is the moment of existence, and amber is the memory of the time node, which is recorded and carried, and is also the point where things exist at that moment. At the moment when the resin dripped hundreds of millions of years ago, it was destined that amber was one of the most appropriate material carriers to interpret the concept of “five implications”.
