In Buddhism, who is the higher generation of Zhun Ti or the ancient Buddha of the lamp? If you are a

The founder of Buddhism was called Siddhartha Gautama, and later Shakyamuni, and Buddha was just a misnomer. After a religion is founded, it has a core idea, but it takes a long time for it to spread. Because religion is always associated with the gods, it is necessary to spread the doctrine in the name of the gods, and the founder cannot be called the god who lives on earth.

However, in terms of generation, Shakyamuni and the ancient Buddha of the lamp are of the same level, and there is no distinction between high and low.

According to the Buddhist scriptures, there were several ancient Buddhas before Sakyamuni, and the ancient Buddha of the lamp is one of them, these ancient Buddhas have been reshaped, and some have absorbed ancient myths and civilizations, in short, they are to establish an image backer for their religion, showing that their teachings are not out of thin air, but have a basis and theory, and there are gods on it, you can not believe me, but you can't help but believe in the ancient gods.

In fact, this method is the same as that of the emperor who came to power by uprising in China, after ascending the throne, he had to repair his family tree, pull several celebrities in ancient times, establish his own bloodline, and then give his father and ancestor the position of emperor, so that his identity is very noble, and the throne is justified. There is such a phenomenon in various countries of the world, where aristocracy worships blood from the beginning of its appearance and establishes a rule of the game that does not involve different people.

At the beginning of the establishment of Buddhism, the influence was still relatively small, and the founder was still alive in the world, but he did not show any magical powers, which was difficult to convince believers. There is a big difference between religion and academic doctrine, and it must be linked to the gods, so Buddhism must pull the banner and shape its own religious origin for its own development. And Buddhism has also formed its own unique worldview from this, and it explains things very reasonably.

According to the theory of Buddhism, the world is a reincarnation, the universe from rebirth, development to death, and then re-appearance, in this process, every world will have the appearance of the Buddha, the previous world is broken, but the Buddha of the previous world is the ancient Buddha of the lamp, and the Buddha of this world is Shakyamuni, in order to make this link appear perfect, so the next world is also given, that is, Maitreya Buddha. In this way, the Buddha of the past, the Buddha, and the Buddha of the future are complete, representing the maturity of the concept of Buddhism.

In fact, the concept of Buddhism is still quite advanced, such a cosmology is dialectical, maybe it can really reveal the laws of the universe, the wisdom of the ancient sages can not be guessed, they seem to be able to see the more far-reaching universe, in the era of scientific and technological ignorance, issued a word of amazement to future generations.

The above theories are all based on the analysis of the concept of atheism, and they are not necessarily correct, no one can know whether there are really gods in this world, blind denial is not right, maybe there is really a Buddha preaching, maybe the past Buddha and the future Buddha also exist, compared to the whole universe, we are too small to find out the truth of the facts, and we listen to it in vain.
