Chapter 1055: The Origin of Mankind
Where did the ancestors of mankind come from?
In the Buddhist Sutra of Ahama and many scriptures, it is clearly recorded that the first man on earth came from the light and sound heaven.
Human beings, who are the spirits of all things, our ancestors, are definitely not made out of clay by some god, that is a myth, nor did they evolve from apes, that is a fallacy.
Where is the light and sound heaven? Heaven, from the bottom to the top, is divided into three realms: the realm of desire, the realm of color, and the realm of colorlessness.
In the realm of desire, there are six heavens: the four heavens of the king, the heaven of the Buddha, the day of the night, the day of Tushi, the heaven of joy, and the six days of the day of his freedom.
The four Zen days of the color world: There are three days of the first meditation (three days of Brahman, Brahman, and Dabrahma). There are three days of the second meditation (three days of less light, immeasurable light, and three days of light and sound). There are three days of the three meditations (three days of lesser purity, immeasurable purity, and three days of universal purification). There are nine days of the four meditations (nine days of happiness, happiness, fruit, non-thinking, non-annoyance, no heat, good view, good appearance, and nine days).
In the colorless realm, there are four heavens: the boundless sky of emptiness, the boundless heaven of cognition, the heaven of nothingness, and the four days of non-thinking and non-thinking.
There are twenty-eight heavens in total. The light and sound day is the third day of the two meditations of the color world.
Why is it called Light Sound Heaven?
The celestial beings of the light and sound heavens opened their mouths to speak, not sounds, but pure light, which came from their mouths to express what they wanted to say. When the other person sees the light, he can understand what he is expressing. Because it is called light sound, it is called light sound, which is the three days of two meditations, the highest and most special and wonderful layer of heaven, also called the aurora pure sky.
Why do people come down from the world of light and sound?
The world has four stages of success, dwelling, deterioration, and emptiness, each stage is a middle eon, and the four middle eons from self-formation to emptiness are combined into one great eon. When the world reaches the end of the eons, there is a great fire that burns down the hells, the earth, the other planetary worlds, and the heavens of the desire realm, and before it burns to the first meditation heaven of the color realm, the celestial beings, bodhisattvas, sages, and beings in the lower realm who have done great good deeds will naturally be saved and have already gone to the heaven of light and sound to enjoy the bliss of happiness.
After the world has gone through 20 small eons of empty tribulations, it is the turn of the beginning of the tribulation, from the light and sound of the sky to the golden auspicious clouds, and then the rain of nectar, after the great water subsides, there are many layers of heaven below the first meditation. The material left in space by the flood has been greatly rotated and gradually solidified, and then many large and small round or oval planets in space have appeared, including of course our earth, and the moon revolving around the earth, and even all the worlds above the farthest and deepest hells. With the sun, because each planet follows the solar system and has its own orbit, the planets revolve around the stars, and the satellites revolve around the planets, revolving and rotating, and dividing day and night, so the sun, moon, and four seasons continue. However, the time in the heavens and the worlds on other planets is different from the time on our earth.
During this period, according to the records of Qionglin, an ancient book and kindergarten story: chaos began to open, and the universe began to be laid. The air is light and clear, and the one who rises is the sky. The air is heavy and turbid, and the one who condenses is the ground. The five stars of the sun and moon are called the seven politics. Heaven and earth and man are called the three talents. The sun is the sect of the sun, and the moon is the image of the yin. In this way, it is very close to the Buddha's teachings, and the Buddhist scriptures are also in agreement with the confirmations of today's astronomical scientists, and in this way, the phenomena of the universe and nature are restored.
The earth is at the beginning of the beginning, the earth's crust has not dried up, the ground is a milky color, from the heavens, the earth is very bright, the light is far away, the light and sound of the heavens of the men and women, there are heavenly blessings and the sex is frivolous, feel strange, try to explore, actually fly with the feet of God, come to the earth successively, scattered all continents, see the earth there is a sweet spring gushing out, that is, dip the index finger into the mouth, feel its taste is very sweet, beautiful as honey. Because of the deliciousness, everyone is gluttonous, and people who eat a lot of food, gradually sink their bodies heavily, walk on the ground, and gradually form a material flesh and bone body, and then lose their divine feet, and also lose their natural clothes, and can no longer fly in the air, let alone return to the sky.
The beauty of the sky, the beauty of light, the majesty of wisdom, and the supernatural nature that each person originally possessed have gradually disappeared, and the blanket of heavenly eyes has become the naked eye and the flesh and ears, and he can no longer remember the old world; because he has lost his mind, he no longer knows what others are thinking; his mouth does not emit light, he speaks by the tongue, he has no sufficient language, and he has to express his heart with gestures, and he has become a mortal in the world, and has lived on the earth.
At the beginning of the earth, after people lived on the earth, they first ate sweet springs, then ate ground fat mosses, and then ate natural japonica rice, and then lived a very long life, without disease, and later learned to sow grains and vegetables. In the era of fertilization, those who eat too much will have darker skin color, either brown or red, brown or black, and those who eat less or later will have lighter skin color, yellow or white. Over time, the earth's equator is divided into tropical, subtropical, temperate and cold zones, and then the climate has a difference between hot and cold, so that human beings form fixed races with different skin colors.
At that time, the first people, from a very small number of people living in one place, gradually used language to represent the meaning, and then different regions and no transportation, there were hundreds of thousands of different languages in the world, that is, the ancestors of many different races in the world today.
Since the beginning of the people, when they lost their clothes, were naked, and played with each other, there was a love affair between men and women, and they gradually felt ashamed. In this era, plants and trees have grown on the ground, and human beings use leaves as clothing to avoid shame and keep out the cold.
From the perspective of other worlds, the light of the earth has turned green, and there is a distinction between the sea and the land, and the heavenly beings dare not come again. People began to have husbands and wives on the earth, and gave birth to children, from cave dwelling in the wilderness, and Zhijia houses were built, and then the descendants of human beings gradually multiplied. People's eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind have six roots, and with different knowledge, they are born with troubles, and their original bright and innocent nature has completely disappeared, and they have become greedy, ignorant, and stupid...... , there are beings on the asura path. Heaven, man, and asura are the three good paths, and there are ...... of killing, stealing, and fornicating When all the evil deeds are done, there are sentient beings of the three evil realms, such as beasts, ghosts, and hells, forming the six realms of reincarnation, and sentient beings have the four types of births, such as womb, egg, wetness, and transformation, and they travel by land, water, and air.
The thought and life of human beings have evolved from simple to complex, some nations have evolved from barbarism, and some nations have gradually evolved from wool to blood. Knowing how to barter is the beginning of agriculture and commerce, by making agricultural tools, cooking utensils, and building tools, which is the beginning of industry, and by greed, murder, theft, and prostitution in order to be straight...... The controversy that arises, the election of the upright, virtuous, and the righteous to deal with the affairs of the people, is the beginning of education and morality and democratic politics; The era of barbarism gradually passed, from tribe to society, from society to state, from country to country competition, and then evolved into the atomic age of scientific progress, the space age.
