Why does formal logic not include Buddhist logic?

Buddhism is about breaking your logic, ** there is Buddhist logic, this is nonsense.

For example, in the past, when others beat you, you had evil thoughts, but now that you have studied Buddhism and know the cause and effect, you can't fall, and your mind is slowly adjusted, and you can break some of the bad habits of the past, mainly the bad habits in the mind.

It took me five months to finish the book. "Buddhist Logic" is one of the "Chinese Translation of World Academic Classics Series", written by [Russia] Sherbasky. By the way, all the books in this series of business books are easy to read, because my friends have finished reading all the books that are easy to read, so what can be done?

Buddhist Logic" was written in the early 30s of the last century, this book "synthesizes the important achievements of the history of Buddhism, Buddhist philosophy and Sanskrit and Tibetan literature research at that time, looks at the development of Eastern and Western logical thought, selects three Buddhist thinkers - Chen Na, Dharma Title, and Dharma Shang as the object, and makes a full evaluation of the epistemological logic of late Mahayana Buddhism through the comparison of Eastern and Western logic." "It has always enjoyed the status of an authoritative work in the study of Buddhism. To this day, Indian scholars of Indology also regard it as an epoch-making work.

In addition to a long introduction, the main body of the book consists of five parts, each with several chapters on different topics, and two sections at the end of each theme that synthesize the historical development of the topic and compare it with similar theories in Europe.

A few thoughts after reading this book. First, Buddhism is profound and broad, with both faith and philosophy, and even technical aspects (such as the Five Mings), but we know too little about its philosophical things, and introduce too little, and the reason for this may be influenced by people's mindsets, focusing only on Buddhism and ignoring Buddhism. This situation should improve as society as a whole becomes more literate.

The second is that Buddhism itself is also developing, and various sects are also established and developed in the interpretation of Buddhist scriptures. There will be no new Buddha teachings, but there will be new interpretations. This question should be expressed very subtly, and if there is a slight deviation, there will be a problem, so I dare not and should not say more, but this is just this idea.

During this time, I read some books about early Buddhism in India, and I got a sense of the elaborate style, or cumbersome philosophy, of the ancient Indian scholars. I think that a person like me who does not have enough understanding may be suitable for using some stupid methods, and there must be one of the 84,000 methods that suits me.

And many more, such as:

1. Uniqueness: Buddhism is non-religious, transcending all religions; Buddhism is not philosophical, it is beyond philosophy; Buddhism is not scientific, and it is ahead of science, which is incomparable.

2. Equality. It emphasizes that "all beings are equal", that is, "everyone can become a Buddha, and everyone has Buddha nature", while other sects do not allow people to become gods.

3. Atheism. Buddhism believes that the world is born by fate and destroyed by marriage, and that there is no god who created the world; The so-called "gods" are also part of sentient beings, and they also have their own views and troubles, and they are also within the six realms of reincarnation, and compared to human beings, they are just advanced life forms.

4. Inclusivity. Acknowledging that all sects are observers of the "truth of the universe" (Buddhism calls it "non-action") leads to different conclusions (see the Diamond Sutra "All sages are distinguished by non-action"), while other religions are mostly exclusive.

5. Objectivity. With the clarity of the mind as a description of the different states of mind of sentient beings, the gods of other religions have troubles and self-seeing; The Buddha is the one who is liberated from all afflictions.

6. Compassion. Emphasizing "compassion and joy", in which "great compassion without cause, great compassion with the same body" shows infinite love; And the love of other religions is limited.

The logic of Buddhism is fundamentally "dependent arising voidness." There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

Buddhist logic, also known as cause, is a discipline of logic that encompasses this part of formal logic, just as logic contains formal logic. It needs to be pointed out that there is no difference between the West and the East in terms of formal logic itself, and in this sense, whether you say the West or the East or Buddhism is the same. The difference between Buddhist logic and formal logic is that the former is the whole, and the latter is the part.

As for most of the upstairs talking about not Buddhist logic, but Buddhist thought, because they are not **logical, Buddhism has a special logic, that is, the works of cause and understanding. For example, Chen Na's "Theory of Cause and Enlightenment".

Upstairs "2There is an implicit premise of Western logic, which is the basis of its philosophical ontology. This is in clear opposition to the Buddhist theory of logical causes.

I am afraid that this is due to the fact that I have not converted or read many books on the study of cause and understanding, and I would like to emphasize again that there should not and does not need to be forced to distinguish logic from the definite articles "East", "West" and "Buddhism", because the most fundamental things they say are the same. Many people regard Western logic and its narrow understanding as a syllogism, which is the most likely to disagree. It's safe to say that as long as it's logic, there's a premise.

Why is it said that "color is emptiness, and emptiness is color", this is to explain that the premise is different, and the conclusion is different, and how to say that the premise and the cause are opposites.

There is also an upstairs saying that Aristotle thinks that recognition does not need to be proven, is there no such view in the East, who does not? If there is nothing that does not need to be proved, then there is nothing to prove, because your proof itself has to be proved, and you can only prove it all the way and not be able to prove it.

To talk about advantages and disadvantages, there needs to be a judgment standard, and different standards are different judgments. For example, from a practical point of view, formal logic itself is a form of pure conceptual reasoning that does not provide you with a way to grasp things outside of logic. Logic itself is not necessarily practical, it is simply the way people understand and think about things.

Some people think this way, some people think that way, but it doesn't mean who is more logical.

If I have to distinguish between Eastern and Western logic, I can only say that they classify and name the content in logic differently. But the substantive things are all the same, and they can all find content corresponding to each other. From a purely logical point of view, it doesn't matter who is superior or inferior.

Besides, what is Western and what is Eastern is what is? Do you still need to apply for a patent? Anyway, no matter what you say is Eastern or Western, how a person thinks or how he thinks.

The logic of Buddhism is that Nirvana, reincarnation, and the three thousand worlds are a dream of Brahma.

The logic of the West is science, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Einstein, the ideas of these people are advancing the course of the world.

The advantage is that the former is bearish and sees through. The latter is to create, to change.

The downside is that the former is pessimistic and the latter realistic.

Answer: It is not easy for you, one is to combine Chinese and Western, and the other is to have a certain understanding of logic. It is a pity that the aspect of logic has always been broad, and mathematics and dialectics can be seen. I tried my best ...

Buddhism achieves transcendence and leads to supremacy through negation (because all expressions cannot say what is really to be said); The West advances dialectically with a dichotomy in order to achieve transcendence in the struggle and obtain dialectical unity.

Personally, I don't think there is a so-called difference between advantages and disadvantages, it is only a matter of choice, and those who are on the path are self-explanatory. The logic of Buddhism does not lie in the scriptures, but in liberation, and the application is demeaning; Western formal logic clarifies the thinking itself through the analysis of thinking.

I don't know anything about Western formal logic.

But who can judge Buddhism? What scriptures do you have to read to understand Buddhism? Tantra, Zen, Vinaya, Tendai, Pure Land?

Buddhist logic can be broadly referred to as causes. According to the Petersburg School represented by Sherbatsky, the entire course of Buddhist philosophy is divided into three phases: from Hinayana to Mahayana, and finally to the fullness of the Yoga philosophy of consciousness.

Buddhist logic is the third stage of the highest stage of the development of Buddhism, which starts from the epistemology of Buddhism, pursues and grasps the truth and reality with its conceptual theory and logic, and finally achieves nirvana liberation. The Logic of Buddhism fully discusses the principle that knowledge, practice, and liberation are interconnected and mutually integrated in the edifice of Buddhist philosophy. Whether studying philosophy or studying Buddhism, The Logic of Buddhism is an indispensable reading for scholars.

Buddhism is not logical reasoning, it is the revelation of the truth of life in the universe and thus gives a way to get rid of defilements and samsara as a result.

Buddhism dissolves afflictions through empirical evidence and frees them from samsara.

According to Theravada Buddhism, through practice, one can see the smallest unit of this material world, see past and future lives, witness reincarnation, and achieve liberation through one's own witness, as follows:

According to Buddhism, the world is made up of material and spiritual phenomena, which are called color dharma and spiritual phenomena called nomenclature dharma. On the basis of having the concentration of meditation or near-line concentration, one can practice the four worlds of separate views, and then in the transparent body of the four worlds, one can see the smallest unit that makes up the material world: color gathering.

Color aggregation is constantly living and dying, and there are two types of color aggregation, transparent and opaque. If you look at the color gathering through the light of wisdom, you will find that there are 8-10 methods of color that make up the color gathering, which is how the material world is composed.

After seeing the composition of matter, through the practice of the nomenclature of the name, the naming is made up of the mind and the mind, and the mind and the mind are constantly generating and dying, and the speed is very fast, hundreds of millions of hearts and minds arise and disappear every second, and you will find that the speed of the nomenclature is seventeen times that of the color dharma.

Through this practice, I discovered that the world is made up of names and colors that are constantly born and destroyed, and that there is no such immutable thing as self and soul in the world, and thus I get rid of the wrong views of the self and soul in my mind. Then, through the practice, we will find out that the reason for the emergence of the fame and color method is due to greed and love. By tracing the cause of the birth of the Dharma through the practice, one can illuminate past lives, and by tracing the continuity of the Dharma of Names, one can see the future development of the Dharma and the moment of its extinction, so that one can see future lives.

Therefore, the doubts about reincarnation and the Dharma are dispelled.

These are the first two stages of the sixteen views of wisdom in Buddhism: the wisdom of distinguishing between names and colors, and the wisdom of receiving the mind.

A detailed description of the 16 views can be found in the Treatise on the Pure Path

There are sixteen types of contemplative wisdom that a meditator achieves in the stages from the practice of worldly wisdom to the wisdom of the world, which are called the sixteen contemplative wisdoms, namely: the wisdom of name and color, the wisdom of dependent receiving, the wisdom of contemplation, the wisdom of birth and death, the wisdom of destruction and destruction, the wisdom of fear and appearance, the wisdom of disobedience, the wisdom of detachment, the wisdom of wanting liberation, the wisdom of contemplation, the wisdom of disobedience, the wisdom of following the mind, the wisdom of caste, the wisdom of the path, the wisdom of fruition, and the wisdom of self-examination.

Among them, the one who can cut off the troubles is the Tao Wisdom. When the Wisdom of the Tao arises, the corresponding holy fruit is realized. Dao wisdom and fruit wisdom belong to the wisdom of the world.

First of all, it must be clear that Buddhism and studying Buddhism are two different things.

Buddhism is the study of Buddhism as an academic study, based on the use of self-knowledge and understanding to consider all information related to Buddha, and to achieve the purpose of obtaining unknown information through logical reasoning, with limited benefits.

The study of Buddhism is the process of fully understanding and mastering the Buddha's thoughts, opinions, sayings, and practices, and being able to fully implement them and verify them one by one through daily life

The main purpose of Buddhism is to enable people to understand things that they would not normally notice through careful logical reasoning, so that they can examine all inherent cognitions and material phenomena with a new attitude, so as to achieve the goal of seeing the truth of life in the universe.

Amitabha.

The Buddha smiled, and the Buddha said, don't say, don't say, don't say, if you say it, it's wrong. Six dusts, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, color, sound, fragrance, touch, and the meaning inside is thinking. It shows that the Buddha is not achieved through thinking, and it cannot be achieved through logic, the Buddha is enlightenment, not thinking, but it can also be forced to the end of logic through logic, and then jump out of logic through this method.

The wisdom of Buddhism is evidence, not reasoning.

In other words, the wisdom of the Buddha is all realized by him himself, and it is all revealed from his own nature.

The idea of Buddhism.

It is said to be very unfathomable.

It is difficult for people without wisdom to understand.

Not only does it have rigorous logical reasoning, but it also goes beyond what human science can currently study. So.

It's not logic, it's causal, it's internal, and it's logic that surpasses the West's outward seeking.

It's a kind of logic, because of the doctrine of Ming, it's logic.

No. Buddhism is what Shakyamuni told us after his own testimony, and it is not the product of ideological activity, but the product of practical activity. Each of us can get the same feeling when we meditate according to the steps, because the Dharma is something that everyone can witness.

Many people do not understand the essence of Buddhism, believing it to be a kind of profound "suspense" that is out of reach. In fact, this is not the case, and many people (including those who practice at home) have had a very special experience through ashrama meditation, and this experience is consistent with what is said in the Tripitaka.
