The Buddhist Law of Cause and Effect What are the four continents

If there are hundreds of eons and the work is not destroyed, when karma meets, the retribution will be retributed.

The four continents are within the Milky Way, not the solar system. Inside.

In modern language, it is the four closest living planets, namely Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent, and North Julu Continent, among which our earth is Nanzhan Continent, and the so-called southeast and northwest are just names that are easy for everyone to understand, not the specific direction "southeast and northwest".

Reference:"For example, the East Shengshen Continent, because the people in this continent are taller and more special than the Southern Ganbu Continent, so the Buddha named them with this characteristic. The so-called continent means planet.

The four continents located in the four directions of Mount Meru, in terms of the correspondence with today's celestial bodies, the east Shengshen continent is Mars, the south Ganbu continent is the earth, the west cattle continent is Mercury, and the north Kulu continent is Jupiter; The above is a little bit of personal cultivation for your reference"。Avalokiteshvara.

The four continents are: [Dongsheng Shenzhou], [Xiniuhe Zhou], [Nanganbu Zhou] and [Beiju Luzhou]. Each has the support of the four heavenly kings, we are in the south, if the Sumeru Mountain is the main one, then the Sumeru Mountain is the earth, it is not strange, and there is no Buddha and Bodhisattva in the north of this continent, because the people of this continent live for thousands of years, and they have no intention of learning the law, so the Veda Bodhisattva of the temple Tianwang Hall faces the north and holds the vajra pestle not to support the north, it is recommended to read the Buddhist books, I wish you good luck, thank you.

Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Cattle Cargo Continent, South Zhanbu Continent, North Julu Continent. The current residence is Nanzhan Buzhou.

Here is a more detailed description of the four continents.

The four major continents (Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niu Cargo Continent, South Zhanbu Continent, North Julu Continent), and eight middle continents, hundreds of small continents, etc. If today's popular theories are reasonable, the so-called continent in the scriptures actually refers to the planet in the void, and the southern Zhan continent where we live refers to the earth.

Sibu Continent Mount Meru These concepts are all inherited from Buddhism from Brahmanism and Bon. Mount Meru is actually Kailash, and the four continents are divided by Kailash into the surrounding Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, the Tibetan Plateau, and China.

There are four continents around Mount Meru, the east is called Dongshengshen Island, the south is called Nanbu Island (where we live now), the west side is called Xiniu Cargo Island, and the north side is called Beiju Luzhou.

Buddhism believes that there are four major continents in the Aral Sea in the four directions of Mount Meru, "the southern Ganbu continent, the east Shengshen continent, the west Niuhe continent, and the north Julu continent." The south of the continent, its volume is 7,000 by ten years, the phase of this continent, the north is wide and the south is narrow, just like the shape of a car. The east is Shengshenzhou, and its volume is 8,000 years long.

The appearance of the other continent is like a half moon. West Niu Hezhou, its volume is 9,000 by ten. The appearance of the other continent is like a full moon.

Beiju Luzhou, its amount is ten thousand and wide, and the phase of the other continent is straight in all directions, like a pond and marsh. Such as the four continents. It's called Human Fun. ”

Yes, there is.

We are the Nanzhan Prefecture that lives in the four major continents, also known as Nan Yan Futi.

In the middle of the four continents is Mount Meru.

1. The four continents are the places where humane beings live in the Ten Dharma Realms, located in the four directions of Mount Meru, in the Aral Sea between the Seven Golden Mountains and the Great Tiewei Mountains, there are four continents, called the four major continents, the four continents, the four heavens, and the four continents of Sumeru.

2. The four continents are: Dongsheng Shenzhou (东毘提诃) Located in the Aral Sea to the east of Mount Meru, the living beings of this continent are exceptional, so they are named after their body victory. Volume 18 of the "Chang A Han Sutra" says that there is a world in the east of Sumeru, and the name is in the catch, and its soil is round, and it is nine thousand years wide; The human face is also round, like the terrain of the other side.

There are three things that are special about this continent: the land is very large, it is great, and it is wonderful. Nan Ganbu Continent (Nan Yan Futi) is located in the south of Mount Meru, this continent is rich in Yan Fu tree, and also produces Yan Fu Tan gold. The terrain is like a car box, and so are the faces of people.

The people of this continent are brave and strong enough to create karma, practice Buddhism, and have Buddhas born in their lands, so the three things are superior to the other three continents and the heavens. Located in the west of Mount Meru, the West Cattle Cargo Island (西翿yani) is traded in the currency of cattle, sheep and manibao. Its topography is like a full moon, and the human face is also like a full moon, and there are three special things in this continent, namely, many cows, many sheep, and many pearls and jades.

Beiju Luzhou (Beiyu Shan Yue) is located in the Aral Sea in the north of Mount Meru, the continent is square in shape, each side is 2,000 years long, the shape is like a box lid, surrounded by the Seven Gold Mountain and the Great Iron Fence Mountain, ** is the ground, day and night are always bright. The land has the four virtues of equality, silence, purity, and thornlessness. The people of this continent have a square face, and the terrain of this continent is the same, and everyone has the same complexion, and their height is one foot and four feet.

Life is equal and happy, without worries.

3. There are all kinds of wonderful mountains and forests, rivers, baths, amusement gardens, tree fruits, etc. Most of the utensils are made of gold and silver, glass, and crystal, and are owned by the public, and there is no robbery, dispute, and no thieves, wicked people, and struggles. Residents live for a thousand years, and at the end of their lives, they will be reborn in the heavens of Buddha or the heavens of their own incarnation, and the retribution is the most special among the four continents, but because no Buddha has been born, it is one of the eight difficulties in learning Buddhism.
