Is there any Buddha in this world?

At least, it was not before Sakyamuni. He was born in 565 BC, died in 486 BC, and lived to be 80 years old. Buddhism was only introduced since Sakyamuni, and the concept of Buddha was only developed in this world.

So, if Buddha is eternal, where was he before this?

historical celebrities in Chinese history, Fanzhen (about 450-515) is a very famous person. He is a famous thinker and outstanding atheist during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period.

His "Theory of Destruction of God" adheres to the principle of material first, systematically expounds the idea of ​​atheism, and points out that human spirit (spirit) and form (form) are unity of mutual combination: "God is form, form is spirit. If form exists, spirit exists, and form will disappear. If form is lost, spirit will disappear." That is to say, as our old Bai surname says, people die like lamps are gone, and if lamps are destroyed, where can the light come from? Everything has just returned to the original vanity.

There is also an anti-Buddhist celebrity who is the leader of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties and Han Yu .

"A letter of the morning is reported to the nine heavens, and the evening is demoted to Chaozhou routes in the evening. If you want to eliminate evil things for the saints and clarity, you will be willing to cherish the decay and the remnant years. Clouds are everywhere in the Qinling Where is the Qinling family? The snow is surrounded by Lan Pass and the horse is not moving forward. I know that you should have the intention to come from afar, so that you can collect my bones and miasma on the riverside."

Han Yu wrote the famous " on the Buddha's bones ", opposing the emperor's welcome to Buddha's bones , and said that it should be thrown into the stinky ditch to deal with it, and it was rebelling against the emperor's dragon scales. This is great. He was originally going to lose his life, but was rescued by his colleagues and said good things from it. Finally, he was demoted to Chaozhou today. Han Yu wrote this sad poem "Moving left to Languan to show his nephew Sun Xiang" on the way to his post.

Historical Movement , Western Han , was also without Buddha.

Since Buddhism was introduced to China at the juncture of the Han Dynasty, it has suffered four catastrophes, namely the "Three Martial and One Sect Incident" mentioned in the history of Chinese Buddhism is the "Three Martial and One Sect Incident" of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Central Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong.

The expansion of Buddhist power affects the government's military source, fiscal and tax revenue, land and labor, which will inevitably lead to the ruler's counterattack and madness. When Emperor Ruizong of Tang , he said this: "The world's wealth is ten, and Buddha accounts for seven or eight." The most important thing is that they don't pay taxes.

means that the existence and development of any religion must be based on the principle of not affecting and threatening the royal power. Otherwise, in their eyes, nothing can be wrong. The royal power and their own wealth will always be the first.

Master Nebula

There are less than 400 million Buddhists in the world, accounting for 6% of the total population; that is to say, among these 400 million people, there is Buddha.

It must be clarified that among these 400 million believers, they are roughly divided into two categories. One is the eminent monks and great masters, who are godless in their eyes. Buddha Shakyamuni is just an enlightened sentient being. What they study and practice is the wisdom of Buddhism .

Taiwan’s Master Xingyun often says that Buddha is not a god but a human being. The so-called "everyone can become a Buddha, not a god, but a wise and sensible person.

And the other majority, they have only a slight understanding of Buddha and are confused. They believe that Buddha is a god. What they are pursuing in their bones is just utilitarianism. The blessings and fortunes left after a happy life, and they all worshipped them in hopes of begging for a good destiny.

Interestingly, Buddhism originated in ancient India, and how many Buddhists are there in India now? According to statistics, there are only more than 5 million left. The vast majority of Indians are now, about 1 billion. They believe in Hindu . They have long since no Buddha in their hearts...
