What do Buddhists think about evolution? Buddhism and Evolution

Hello. Evolution is also a kind of inference. While there are credible aspects, there are also many suspicious aspects. Furthermore, whether humans evolved from monkeys is a question in itself, and scientists cannot explain everything.

Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect. There is no such thing as a good or bad argument about genes, and this statement is based on the position of survival of the fittest of human beings, which is inherently very one-sided. Killing is to bear the law of cause and effect.

After reading the four precepts, the jade calendar treasure banknote, and the transformation of nature, you can understand the truth.

Further, the six realms of reincarnation are only one of the elaborative aspects of the vast body of Buddhism. It is said for the convenience of people's cognition. It is recommended that the landlord read the Lotus Sutra and the Lengyan Sutra, and then examine his own views.

The time width of Buddhism is to explain things in terms of immeasurable eons, and the span of time is measured in trillions, billions, billions. Compared to the theory of evolution, the time span is not at the same level.

There is a difference in good fortune and wisdom

Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, Arhats, Celestials, Humans, Asuras, Animals, Hungry Ghosts, Hells.

That's the difference.

All sages are different from each other by doing nothing-Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra The so-called theory of evolution, from the evolution of microorganisms to human beings, and even the "ascension of human beings", there are many differences between them, such as ......Monkeys and chimpanzees, chimpanzees and apes, apes and people; There is always a difference in wisdom and good fortune.

Cause is born, cause is extinguished, when did Buddhism say that things are broken, and use the Diamond Sutra to tell everyone a conjunction, which shows that the universe is a whole, and the theory of evolution is seeing for knowledge, which has long been mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. No matter how science develops, what cannot be explained is explained by Buddhist scriptures.

(1) The Buddha's view of the universe 1 The Chang Ahan Sutra, Volume 18, "Yan Fu Ti Zhou Pin", records that "the center of our "one world" is Mount Meru, which is in the shape of a long column, but the two ends are large and the middle is small, and this mountain plunges directly into the sea, with 672,000 kilometers of water entering and 672,000 kilometers of water coming out, (1 is equivalent to 80 miles). The "Buddhist scriptures" also clearly declare that first there was the earth, then there were human beings, and then there was a "great storm" that blew into the sea at a depth of 6,720,000 miles, floated out the sun and moon, and revolved around "Mount Meru".

Hahaha It turns out that this "Mount Meru" is so big, and the sun and moon revolve around "Mount Meru"? The sutra says, "The world is held by five wheels, and from the bottom to the top it is:."

The wind formed on the void forms a "wind wheel"; There are golden clouds floating on the wind wheel, and the clouds give birth to rain, integrating the "water wheel". The water condenses into a golden wheel, on which soil floats, which is the "earth wheel". In the middle of the earth is Mount Meru.

2 The twenty-second volume of the "Chang Ah Han Sutra", the twelfth and twelfth of the "Century Sutra of the Original Yuanpin": The sun is actually a palace, and it revolves around the earth. The city of the sun is 2,000 40 li; The castle of the moon is 1960 miles tall each.

The throne of the "Sun King" is 20 miles in circumference, and there are countless gods around it. The light emitted by the "Sun King" shines on the earth through the palaces and castles. The city of the moon is square and round from a distance.

The Moon King "sits in the Seven Treasures Palace 20 miles square, and there are also countless celestial retinues. The moon is clear inside and out, and the light shines far away. Because the moon is obscured by the cyan sky, it looks round and missing......Buddhist scriptures are full of similar ancient Indian whimsical ......ideas2) The "Theory of Human Evolution" in the Buddhist scriptures 1 Regarding the Buddhist concept of "light and sound heaven incarnates as human beings", the Buddhist scriptures say that when the earth was not yet human, there was no land on the surface of the earth, all the sea, no sun, no moon, no stars, no day and night, no change of years, months and days, only a long and boundless darkness.

Later, I don't know why the land appeared on the earth, there is a kind of "light sound celestial man" born on the earth, because ah, there was no sun at that time, this "heavenly man" will shine on his own body, and then eat the earth fat for a living, eat and eat, and then change the male and female gender, and there will be male and female sexual activities, in order not to let people see, only to know how to start building houses, etc., the content is very funny, much more funny than the current children's cartoons. 2 Such a humorous cartoon is a pathological and peculiar thinking of the backward and ignorant period of the ancient Indians, which is really absurd. The Indian peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, on one side of the Himalayan barrier, isolated, with a hot climate, and extremely poor people, has been prolific since ancient times with unique folk religions, superstitions, strange tales, and strange ascetic lazy people.

This was nothing, but after Buddhism was spread to China, a group of "Buddhists" believed in this Indian strange story very much and quoted it one after another. However, if this is true for human beings, then the Buddhist teachings of "causes" and "emptiness" of all things will be exposed to self-contradiction......
