Episode : After Sakyamuni walked out of the Ascetic Forest, he received the cheese of the shepherd and recovered his energy, and cleaned the filth in the Ganges River. After getting ashore, he found an Bodhi tree and meditated under the Bodhi tree, and vowed not to get up if he was enlightened.

Everyone knows the later plot, that is, Sakyamuni meditated under the Bodhi tree for seven days, and finally attained enlightenment and became a Buddha. So, what exactly did Sakyamuni gain under the Bodhi tree?

At the beginning, he meditated under the Bodhi tree, hoping to find what he had been seeking, which was the method of liberation.

So, what methods of liberation did he obtain?

, it is nothing more than the four words dependent origination and emptiness . It seems that there are only four words, but the connotation of dependent origination and emptiness is extremely vast.

The "fate" in

is the cause and condition, that is, the relationship between cause and effect. What is cause and effect? It is just cause and result, and "fate" is an external factor in the process from cause to effect.

Sakyamuni realized the connotation of "fate" under the Bodhi tree, and summarized it into two parts: internal and external factors and relative causes and alienating conditions.

The so-called internal cause external cause, that is, "cause" is subjective factor, while fate exists objectively; while relative cause and distant fate refers to paying attention to inner cultivation and ignoring external interference.

The meaning of "emptiness of nature" is more broad, and it can be said to include everything in the world, people, things and things.

is like a book in our lives. The reason why it becomes a book is that it must first have the processes of paper, printing and binding, but it is not less the author's views, thinking and expression when writing.

And is the only factor above a good book? From the author's point of view and thinking expression to the books presented to readers, many invisible factors in this process determine the ultimate achievement of a book.

From invisible knowledge to black and white, paper comes from trees, but trees cannot do without seeds, soil, sunshine and rain.

It can be said that the formation of a book almost covers the vast universe, let alone the broad and unpredictable thinking of the author?

For example, when we see a specific thing, it is like a pen. In our minds, a long, black or white object with a sharp end that can draw ink and write traces on paper.

That pen is just a result, and this result requires a lot of organic aggregation of "causes".

Even if we only talk about the appearance color of the pen, the black and white colors we see are the wavelength of the seven colors of black and white, which is an internal factor and is not affected by the recipient. The characteristic of this kind of thing itself is the "cause".

The reason why "cause (light)" produces "fruit (color)" is determined by "fate". If the recipient closes his eyes, or has color perception disorders, or there are factors that hinder light propagation in the middle, then the "fate" is not true, and the "fruit" cannot be formed, and the recipient cannot judge the color.

And the color finally only forms a feeling in the recipient's mind. This is the "second characteristic" of things. It is not affected by the "cause", but depends on the constraints and thoughts of the observer and observation conditions. This is the definition of "emptiness of nature".

This is the final achievement of Sakyamuni. He understood that different "causes" will have different "results", and the "fate" in them is not only changing itself, but also leading to different "results".

In other words, fate can affect the result and even determine whether the result exists and appears. If the "fate" is not fulfilled, it may lead to the result being unsatisfied.

has many answers based on this, that is, the world is impermanent, that is, there is no eternal, only cause and condition are eternal, but this eternity is uncertain and changeable.

It is precisely because of the concept of impermanence that the right and wrong in the world are not absolute. We need to draw the final conclusion based on "fate" and combined with "cause".

Therefore, the four words "dependence and emptiness" discovered by Sakyamuni under the Bodhi tree are basically realized on this basis. Understanding cause and effect, actively protecting the relationship, and creating and changing with an enterprising attitude is also a positive hidden in the Buddhist meaning, and it also denies its negative theory.

In short, Shakyamuni has obtained the emptiness of dependent origination and nature, which tells people that the permanence of impermanence is also determined because of the permanence of impermanence, and the life of active response is determined.
