On Buddha Law
    #10857166 - 08/14/09 12:47 AM (14 years, 6 months ago)

Whatever you think of Li Hongzhi or the Falun Dafa crowd, the intro to his book is very stirring, even in translation.

Quote:

ON BUDDHA LAW

Nothing is as profound as BUDDHA LAW. Of all teachings in the world it is the most wondrous and highest science. To open up this field, ordinary people have to fundamentally change their way of thinking. Failing that, the reality of the universe will forever remain something of a myth to mankind, and ordinary people will forever grope around inside the box created by their own ignorance.

So just what exactly is BUDDHA LAW, then? Is it religion? Is it philosophy? That is just how the "cutting edge" scholars of Buddhism see it. They merely study it on a theoretical level, subjecting it to criticism and so-called research, as if it were philosophy. The truth is, BUDDHA LAW is not limited to the little portion in scriptures, which is only BUDDHA LAW’s initial-level Law. Instead, there is nothing that BUDDHA LAW cannot explain—it thoroughly unravels all mysteries, from those of particles and molecules to those of the universe, from small things to great things. It is a different discourse at different levels on the nature of the universe—to be True, Good, and Endure—at different levels, what Daoists call "the Dao," or what Buddhists call "the Law."

No matter how advanced the science of today’s human race may be, it can only account for a portion of the universe’s mysteries. Once we mention specific phenomena of BUDDHA LAW, there is always someone who says, "We’re in the electronic age now, and science is so advanced. Spaceships have flown to other planets, and you still talk about those naive old beliefs?" To tell it like it is, as advanced as computers may be, they can’t compare to the human brain, which to this day is a mystery that baffles researchers. Regardless of how far spaceships may travel, they still cannot fly beyond this material dimension in which the human race exists. The knowledge mankind has today is extremely shallow and nothing more than a small part of the whole—it is nowhere near a real understanding of the Truth of the universe. Some people don’t even dare to face up to, approach, or acknowledge the facts of phenomena that objectively exist, all because these people are too narrow-minded and are unwilling to change their longstanding way of thinking. Only BUDDHA LAW can completely unveil the mysteries of the universe, of space-time, and of the human body. It can truly distinguish virtue from vice, and good from evil, and it can put an end to wrong views while providing the right views.

The ideas that guide today’s science are only able to confine its development and research to this material world, as a subject won’t be studied until it is known—it takes that approach. As for phenomena that are intangible and invisible, but that objectively exist, real manifestations of those things appear here in our material world, yet they are shunned and considered unexplainable. Stubborn people simply insist, without supporting evidence, that those are just "natural" phenomena. People with ulterior motives have acted against their own consciences by dismissing all of it as "blind belief." And people who don’t have inquisitive minds have shied away from these matters with the excuse that science is not yet advanced enough. Mankind will make a leap forward if it can take a fresh look at itself and at the universe, changing its rigid way of thinking. BUDDHA LAW can allow people to thoroughly understand immeasurable, boundless worlds. Throughout all the ages, only one thing has been able to explain perfectly the human race, the many material dimensions that exist, all life, and the entire universe: BUDDHA LAW.

It's a possible path, but not exclusive.

What is the law?

I think they are talking about "dharma", which is sometimes translated as "THE law."  The universal "way it is," or the Tao as they said above.

Yes, that's what it is.  Dao/Dharma/Fa/Law.  In Dafa it's expressed as Zhen Shan Ren or to be "True, Good and Endure" or "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance."  They would say the supreme law of the universe is to be True, Good and Endure and that people should follow Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance in all their dealings.  (Some translate "forbearance" as "tolerance," but it doesn't seem as appropriate to the true meaning.)
