Question: " Diamond Sutra " says, "all conditioned phenomena are like dreams and bubbles." Physicists also say that the universe is holographic projection . But all this is too real, and the pain and happiness we experience make people immerse themselves in it and cannot extricate themselves. How can we distinguish dreams from reality?

Answer: When we dream, everything is also real. When we wake up, we realize that it was a dream before.

We are now in the great dream of ignorance. Before we awaken, we also feel that this dream is very real and will devote ourselves to it, and be happy, sad and fearful. Only when you wake up can you see clearly that everything you experience is nothing more than images in dreams and delusions.

However, it is difficult to distinguish based on the thinking of consciousness alone. You must start your wisdom of contemplation through practice in order to see the true reality of all dharmas. Buddha After awakening, he tells us what he sees, so as to awaken the sleeping sentient beings.

After listening to these principles, we must also achieve enlightenment through practice. Otherwise, I will still be in a dream and I will not understand what the Buddha is saying.
