Berkson's Historical Story
One day, a large gathering was being held at the London Academic Center. Famous philosophers, theologians and scientists from all over the world gathered together to publish their research results. At this moment, a monk in Southern Buddhism's frock was walking outside the door. The monk's clothes and manners are very special and attract people's attention. With a large number of followers behind the monks, the road was surrounded by crowds.

At this time, a doctor was about to enter the center when he saw a large crowd of monks wearing strange clothes. Suddenly I felt familiar, so I went forward and took a closer look. I cried out, "Aren't you Dr. Boxon?" Five years ago, you published A Study of Materialistic Philosophy, and you haven't heard from me since. Why are you becoming a monk now? Are you a gamer or do you want to make people laugh? "

"Old friend!" The monk said solemnly. Dr Madison! I'm Boxon. I became a monk for a big reason, and it is also the profit I earned from traveling east. But my heart is hard for you to understand. "medon paused, saying:" how do you talk strange, completely changed personality? "? Anyway, today happens to be the annual academic research conference, and you have participated in it many times before to announce your research experience that shocked the world. Many of your old friends are in it. They all miss you very much. Go in and talk about how you feel after years of separation. "Berkshire is only in his early forties, Madison is in his fifties, and Assetto and Zunmed are already white-haired. They learn from each other and are also teachers and friends. As soon as Berkson entered the meeting, he immediately became the focus. Hundreds of doctors were drawn to the past.

Berkson's Study of Materialist Philosophy is a monograph that rejects monotheism and breaks superstition. It is of great value in philosophical science and is respected by academic circles. However, only five years later, Berkson made a great change of 180 degrees, which not only completely denied his philosophical thoughts, but also became a monk.

Everyone was surprised and happy, and could not accept the fact. Boxon, on the other hand, was natural and graceful, smiled happily and made a gift for the public. When the public sat down, Assetto announced, "Dr. Boxon has returned from a long journey and become a monk. Why don't you ask him to talk about his trip? " The public applauded warmly.

Assetto continued: "Dr. Bai is from your east, and we know nothing about you." Your Study of Materialist Philosophy, the first edition was all the rage and reprinted 17 times. It is really expensive in Luoyang. Then translate it into French and German, and your fame is growing. We hope that you will become the second Darwin of our country and win glory for our country. Now you are an Indian beggar's monk. Are you out of your mind? This fact is unacceptable to us in any case. "

"Thank you, old doctor, thank you for your kindness. Do you think I'm crazy because my words, deeds, actions and thoughts are crazy? Do I dress and look like a neurotic guy? "

Dr. Ya said, "You are calm, calm and unified, and you speak clearly. You are obviously a great wisdom, and you are not crazy. But why are you a beggar? "

Berkson said, "I am definitely not a psychopath! I have been pursuing facts and truth all my life. I will never be hypocritical and dishonest, never grandstanding, never innovating, never scaring people or boasting about myself with my doctorate or academic achievements. You can all testify for me. I am also confident that I am an ambitious person, and you all praise me, saying that I can be unique in academia. But when my career is in full swing, why should I give up everything and become a monk? I tell you, I spent many years studying Buddhism deeply, and I decided to become a monk after careful consideration. This is by no means an impulse. In fact, what I seek is inner peace. What I have practiced and proved today is like' thinking about the source of drinking water, knowing yourself in cold and warm', and you can enjoy yourself if you have a master in your heart. Learning Buddhism is the only way to completely solve life problems. The academic theory of pursuing things with time will never shake my confidence, not at all! Why am I so dead set? If you think about it a little, you will know the profound truth. "

Dr. Winter Seliman said, "We strongly advocate freedom of thought, and Dr. Boxon has always loved freedom and truth. There must be a reason why he resolutely became a monk. Or this is the highest state of pursuing freedom. I am very willing to listen to what he has seen and heard in the past five years, the reason why he became a monk, the process of seeking dharma, and the truth he cultivated and proved. These are all things we want to know and will be unheard of. "

Unconsciously, everyone has been conquered by Berkson's Taoist spirit and impressed by his Zen style. Everyone applauded. "What a doctor," said Huang Wenbo, "really won my heart. This time, when I returned to China, I vowed to pass on the supreme magic I gained from my journey to China, spread it to all parts of the world, let the whole world know the Dharma, and let * * * also enjoy this supreme truth. You want me to say, that's what I want to say! Before I set off for my trip to the East, I learned a little Indian Sanskrit and Pali. When I arrived in India, I concentrated on my studies for another year. Buried in ancient and modern books in India, I caught a glimpse of the four Vedas of Brahmanism, as well as philosophical thoughts such as number theory, separation theory and Vedanta, and finally entered the Buddhist collection. At first, I compared Buddhism with matter, philosophy and science, but I felt it was out of place. Because, when the inherent academic thought is compared with Buddhism, it will be dwarfed! I gradually lost my self-confidence and even my basic materialism was completely shattered. Suddenly, I became a lonely ghost without a master, at a loss, at a loss and disappointed, hoping to find another place to settle down immediately. So, I listed all the religious philosophies of ancient and modern China and the West, carefully judged my choice, and finally chose Buddhism founded by Sakyamuni as my refuge.

When I arrived in India, my attitude was: I am a civilized person and they are barbarians; I am the master and they are slaves. Moreover, I think Indians are not as good as us whites in both work ability and ideological ability, and everything is dwarfed. So, I despise them, despise them, treat them as a group of ants. Although I am learning their language, I actually despise interacting with them.

After getting along for a long time, I gradually found that the Indian people are kind, easy to get along with, important and not aggressive. This is far from what we white people can compare. After that, my yearning and admiration came to me, and I was happy to associate with Indians. Later, when traveling in the wilderness of deep mountains and forests, every time I saw an ascetic monk who had no food to eat and no clothes to cover his body, he was profound in thought, leisurely and energetic, far from being disturbed by the external environment as European and American scholars said.

I once personally met an elderly man who sat quietly with his eyes closed. He had no clothes, no food, could not get in or out, and could not get up or lie down for months. There are hundreds of disciples following him. After I heard the news, I brought enough dry food and watched it curiously for nearly a month. In this way, the rude and ignorant habits I brought from Europe were eliminated.

I once met an old man in the depths of Lingjiusan. He said: "European scholars are narrow-minded and refuse to pass on their academic thoughts and research results to us, thinking that this will stiffen our thinking and wisdom, thus destroying our Indian culture and our Indian race." They know that the wisdom and treasures of Indians are far richer than the academic thoughts of Europe, and they are ten million times richer! If you don't teach me, I won't teach you. We have inexhaustible treasures, and we have incredible effects that you can't reach. "The old man said,' Today I want to broaden your horizons and open your confidence. I want to take you to a place that ordinary people can't reach "Do you want to go?" I readily agreed. So, follow the old man all the way into the mountain. Before reaching a cliff, the old man hit the cliff three times with his palm, and the cliff stone cracked and became a gate. It's dark in the cave. The old man came in and I ventured to follow him. I took a few steps, but I felt the light rising gradually, and my heart was cold. I've never been happy. Just as I was looking around, there was a loud noise and the cliff gate closed. Although the door is closed, the light in the hole is still there. After a mile's journey, I arrived at a huge, strict and seemingly endless luxury mansion. Jackie Chan on the step wall and several couches on the doors and windows are all made of colorful stones, which are magnificent. The building is exquisite, ingenious and beautiful. There are a lot of books in the house, including images of heaven and earth, characters of heaven and earth, spirituality of God and methods of modifying certificates ... This book is profound and mysterious. Compared with the great achievements of European and American academic thought, it is simply dwarfed!

What surprised me most was that there was no fire in the cave after the rock gate was closed. Where does the light come from? And this kind of light makes people feel indescribable relaxed. The old man knew what I was thinking and said,' What do you doubt? This is my pure land, just my hair. You and I have been friends for a long time. Knowing that you love each other, this life should be a sacred fruit. I came to visit you specially to inspire your's confidence. "Well, you can go back!" The rock gate opens automatically and then comes out of the hole. I sincerely and respectfully asked the old man who he was, and replied,' When you arrived at the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, you vowed to become a monk and become a Buddhist disciple. You will know later and meet again.' After talking, I can't tell.

At this time, I have lived in India for three years. I went to the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar, made a detour to worship, and vowed to sing:

I, paxson, will convert to Buddha from today and never convert to ghosts and gods again;

I, paxson, will convert to Buddhism from today and will never convert to heretical classics again.

I, paxson, converted to Buddhism and monks from today, and I will never convert to foreign disciples, evil friends or evil parties again;

I, paxson, will try my best not to kill anything from today;

I, paxson, will try my best not to steal from today;

I, paxson, from today on, live to my heart's content, without lust;

I, paxson, will live my life to the fullest from today, and don't talk nonsense.

I, paxson, from today on, live to my heart's content and don't drink;

I, paxson, have lived a full life from today, eating every day, sitting still for a long time, saving neither hair nor treasure.

He also worshipped the old man in Lingjiu Mountain as a teacher, except for his beard and hair. He was bare and barefoot, wearing a cassock, holding a monk's bowl, begging for food in towns and cities, and sitting on a mountain banquet. Believe in cause and effect, keep the precepts, and be diligent in thirty-seven principles.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have obtained the first Siraitia grosvenorii in meditation, which was awarded and certified by my teacher. The teacher also said that I will be certified as a four-fruit arhat soon. I already know that my teacher is Sakyamuni, one of the top ten disciples of the Buddha. Europeans and Americans only know how to pursue and enjoy, and are influenced by things. Although they have exposed their intelligence, they have no insight and can be pitiful. So I came back in the hope that you wise and benevolent people can smell the Dharma and swim the supreme truth. Soon, I will go back to the teacher's clean room. Please cherish this rare person and don't let go. I have become a monk. Please don't call me doctor, just call me a monk. "

(Note: Bhikkhu became a monk in Yangon. His photos of hair falling, begging, feasting and ritual towers are scattered in Southeast Asia, Taiwan Province Province and Japan. It was also made into postcards for circulation. Master Shan Hui of Lingquan Temple in Keelung, Taiwan Province, once personally received the monks. ) When I heard this, some doctors immediately accepted it, some doubted and pondered, some were unhappy and wanted to argue. Dr Sartre said, "You seem to want more, monks. Can you briefly introduce your own beliefs, explanations, actions and proofs, especially the truth you have obtained? "

"good!" Say it for nothing. Dr. Sa, your question is very good, and I will answer it truthfully. What I have learned is unique and complete. The so-called broken heart line and broken language cannot be described and expressed in words. The profound and subtle Buddhism will make you feel like a flood in the rain, a drowning person in the sea in a boat, a darkness in the light, a forest that has been recovered, and a dying patient in a life-saving medicine.

Buddhism says: everyone has Buddha nature. Everyone has an eternal existence: from birth to death, from death to life, whether to live or not, whether to die or not. People will get different returns in different industries. If you create a career that does not kill, steal, commit adultery or lie, you will be born; Create evil karma such as killing, stealing, lust and lying, and fall into beasts, hungry ghosts and hell. Good and evil cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant, not bad at all. Karma is constant, karma is not ambiguous, and there is no beginning and no end. Therefore, karma is rewarded, circulating for three generations, and six lives and deaths. In the universe, heaven and earth are boundless, and all beings are endless. This is the truth of life and the universe. "

Astronomer Oba said, "No! I think there is no other world, and there is no god and spirit. When a person dies, he is dead. There is no reincarnation, no reincarnation, and no reincarnation. You said that life has eternal life, I don't believe it! "

Berkson said, "You study astronomy. The sun, the moon, the stars and the earth in space, do you mean the world? " ? Or heaven? "Dayu replied," the earth is human, and the empty planet is other worlds. "

Boxon said, "The universe is infinite, and the knowledge of human wisdom about the universe is extremely limited, which is extremely unreasonable and unscientific. Buddhism believes that without reason, everything must have a cause and have a life. Everything is born of karma. If it is a cause, if it is a result, the report of good and evil is absolutely true. After death, everything is nothing. The argument that Buddhism dismisses it as "surprises" is evil and Jaken's. You can never have such evil knowledge and Jaken. You must give up this idea, otherwise it will do you great harm and you will not see the truth. "

Henry Si Nuo, doctor of law, said, "Monk, I still can't believe you said there is an afterlife and reincarnation. I have a cousin who is my most congenial. When he was dying, I told him:' If you do anything evil, you will undoubtedly fall into hell. You are my closest relative, and I trust you. If you fall into hell, you must come back and tell me. "My cousin agreed and died soon. But it's been three years now, but there's no news. Besides, no one has ever come back from hell after death. Therefore, this theory is not credible. "

"You are a doctor of law, you have a lot of legal knowledge. For example, someone committed a felony in another country and was sentenced to a heavy sentence. The prisoner pleaded with the judge and asked him to return to China and bid farewell to his relatives and friends before coming to accept the punishment. Doctor, will the warden let him back? If we don't let him go, how will he report? By the same token, your cousin fell into hell. How could the emperor and ghost soldiers let him come back for no reason? "

Argos, a doctor of ethics, said: "I also have a close relative, who has been good at doing things all his life, and has high moral character and self-denial." When he was dying, I told him: If he was born in heaven, please remember to come back and give me good news. He has been dead for many years, and there is no news. "

Berkson replied, "For example, some people, who are in a cesspit and have their heads immersed in feces for a long time, are extremely disgusted with the stench. They finally escaped from the cesspit and were repeatedly sprayed with perfume after bathing. Will he automatically jump into the cesspit again? The same is true of people who live in heaven. The world is full of filth and filth, and people will hate it when they think about it. How could he possibly come back? What if I come and can't go back? "

Ross, Ph.D. in chemistry, said: "People have no gods. Someone once asked the court to sentence him to death on the grounds of academic research. He tied the condemned prisoner to a sealed laboratory container and boiled the prisoner himself to see where the gods went when he died. However, scientists have never seen gods come and go. Turn on the analyzer, the prisoner is dead and has no gods. So where did God escape from the sealed laboratory container? Since there is no divine knowledge, the so-called' afterlife' theory cannot be established! "

"Dr. Ross, I ask you a question, and you answer truthfully," Boxon said. Did you dream and sleepwalk in Paris this morning? "Ross got a fright and said," how do you know? I sleepwalked in Paris this morning and never mentioned it to anyone. Bai went on to say, "When you dream, your wife, family and servants are already up. Can they see your gods come and go? Yes, no, Bai said, I dreamed when I was alive, but I couldn't see when I went in and out, and I couldn't see when I died. "God's knowledge is not material and invisible," Ross retorted. "You can't deny that others have done something. Not convincing enough. You should actively prove that the human spirit can be seen clearly. This will be convincing. "

The monk said, "Good! Very good! I tell you: monks who become monks from Buddhism go to monasticism tirelessly all day. At six o'clock day and night, get rid of distractions and lethargy, fight against your innate troubles and habits, overcome your own shortcomings, specialize in sleeping points (37 items), stabilize your wisdom and purify your eyes. Live with the eyes of the audience, this life and death, this birth and death, knowing and seeing. Ordinary people don't know what they see, so they arbitrarily say that there is no retribution, no reincarnation, which is not in line with the facts and the scientific attitude of seeking truth. You don't have this ability yourself, but you can't deny this fact, because some people have this ability. Everyone should have this ability, as long as he is willing to practice according to Buddhism. Think about it, if you don't have divine knowledge, how do I know you had a dream? " Ross nodded. William, a doctor of anatomy, said, "Someone once asked the court to give him a death row. He used anatomical methods to cut the flesh and peel the death row, dismember the body, in order to find out where the gods are, and found nothing. Therefore, I don't believe that there is still a spirit after death. "

Berkson said, "As I said just now, knowledge is intangible. If you are still stubborn, I will tell you another interesting story: in ancient times, in the remote mountains and wild places, there was a fire worshipper who made a fire and served it continuously. An orphan he adopted was very stupid. Zoroastrianism wants to travel, telling children to be careful to guard the fire and not to put it out. After he went out, the children just played without guards, and the fire went out. The child is very upset and doesn't know what to do. He was in a hurry to see a doctor. He was desperate to blow out the ashes for a long time, thinking that he could ask for fire, but of course fire could not be obtained. He tried to chop wood with an axe to make a fire. Fire is not available; He put the broken wood into the mortar and pounded the fire with a wooden pestle, but the fire still didn't catch. When the Zoroastrians came back, the children wept at him. The Ming people comforted him and said,' Don't cry, watch how I make a fire!' So he made a fire with a drill and wood, and the wood burned again. Zoroastrianism tells children:' If you want fire, you must use the right method. You won't get angry if the method is wrong. Doctors can't know the existence of God by cooking and dissecting people. We should use the methods of monks and follow the teachings of the Buddha, and practice diligently according to law until the results are proved. At that time, with your eyes, you can see yourself and others clearly. Even all sentient beings are interested in six things, and all thoughts are known with the results. The theory of denying spiritual existence and reincarnation karma by asking for invalidity in an incorrect way is wrong and wrong. "

Biologist Michael asked: "When people are reincarnated after death, they should be able to know what happened in their previous lives. If we can know what happened in the past, that evil is rewarded with evil and good with good, we can be alert to this life and dare not do evil. Otherwise, I don't know anything about the past life after metempsychosis, as if I had become another person. The pain and happiness in this life seem to have nothing to do with previous lives, so you will feel that you don't have to be evil or good. To be a person who does evil and does good is to lose everything! Besides, I've never met anyone who can determine his past life. So, I can't believe it. "

Berkson patiently explained: "After people are reincarnated, their karma creates ignorance (annoyance). When people are blocked by ignorance and can't know the past, this is the so-called mystery of Yin. Most people don't know the past. But with a few exceptions, the ability to know past events is innate. And monks, through diligent cultivation, are lucky and will know their past lives, second lives, third lives and even millions of lives. You will also know other people's previous lives, second lives, third lives and even millions of lives. This is a repair, and it is to restore his original ability. So my master knows my past life, and I also know that my master is the reincarnation of Buddha Sakyamuni. This ability is not limited to Buddhists, but also to practitioners of other religions. For another example, people can't see their internal organs or digestive processes. With x-rays, you can see clearly; People with eyes can see clearly. You can't deny it just because you can't see it. The correct attitude should be: we should learn from the unknown, such as the law. "

The old doctor Zun Maud said, "Your theory is similar to Christianity, monk. People have souls, and they will not die after death. They will either be born in heaven or fall into hell, or become ghosts and ghosts, and finally be judged. Why does innovation say that only Buddhism has it? "

Berkson said: "The old doctor questioned me very well, so I will talk about it alone. Christianity believes that the soul does not come from reincarnation, but is created by God. Since the soul was born together with the body, it should also die together-when the body is destroyed, the soul should be destroyed at the same time, so there will never be a soul. Buddhism believes that man's ascension to heaven or fall into hell is determined by his good and evil behavior in the world; Christianity says that eternal life is in heaven or eternal life is in hell, and there will never be reincarnation. Still not as reasonable as Buddhism says. Buddha said: in heaven, the blessings are exhausted; Even in hell, there will be a time when everything will be repaid. Even after thousands of robberies, there will be a day when everything will be repaid.

The main theory of Buddhism is that all joys and sorrows are caused by oneself. Christian theory is unreasonable, with too many refutations and loopholes to justify itself. Buddhist theory is more reasonable, irrefutable and irrefutable. Christianity says: people are created by God, and the instinct of good and evil is also given by God. Then, everything should be the responsibility of the God who created man, and man himself should not be rewarded by ascension or hell for good and evil. Also, man was made by God, so who made God?

As long as you can practice according to the methods and laws of Buddhism, your skills will be enough, your heart will be clean, and you can prove your authenticity in person. This is enlightenment. After enlightenment, I got my eyes open, my feet open, my life open and so on. You can get rid of worry, sadness, joy and worry, and gain great wisdom and freedom. Christian soul theory can't give a satisfactory explanation, and there are many refutations, let alone testify. Even India's heretics can't compare, let alone the profound Buddhism. !
