Buddhism is science and more than science

TongRui

It is ages that science are high development,being well used and researched.At the same time ,some people have question that Buddhism will meet the biggest challenge and concussion---and thought that never talk about Buddhism and science together, they are just incompatible as fire and water.,taking both of them as confilict things.it’s pale that especially at the time of our Buddhist talking about science.However,don’t you know our Buddhism is a science,not only a science and more than science.

How to show the idea of the problem?

First,both of them have the same aim.In order to look for the truth,Buddhism look for the truth since Sayka prince gave up kingship and turned over the wall of King-city,and later awakened under Buddha’s tree,finally he got the truth of the universe and life.and science is still trying to reveal the secrets of the universe and discover the truth of universe life.The same of their aims are benefiting human beings ,reducing the disasters and pains of people.Also many different religions researched the universe and life,truth of the world,the concept of science was resulted from the western and had a history which is shorter than religion.In some western countries,they have some religions gave explaination to universe and life,such as:God created human beings” and Jesue Allah can save human beings.Due to the western’s disagreement on the thinking,so they have borned a science which called Antitheism under the fundation of taking consideration from the reality,analysising and solving problems from objective terms.such as Einstein said:no matter due to fear or needs of morality,though they may have limit between good ones and bad ones if it had conflicted with religion.they have a common feature which is personate of God,however what a coincidence is that Buddhism never agree it,and Buddha also never take himself as a demiurge.Buddhism think that they can only tell buddhist ways of being away from pains and getting happiness.Buddhism is an educator of religione but not a magician.it never promoted that he can take responsibility for others,but to persuade people to be brave to take responsibilty for themselves,Buddhism disagree that there is no God which can master all the world,everything is belongs to the world,everybody’s life belongs to themseleves.also opposing to believe any ghosts and gods.and this is difficult for the religions which require their believer believing ghosts and gods to compare with.If we must take Buddhism as a religion,it must be religion which promoted antitheism,and the thinking meet with science very well.

Second,theories of Buddhism,ways of life,and rules of Buddhism ,certainly they are some science theories.In the hand of theory,Buddhism is not for research,but for the pains of people,then look back for the truth of the universe and essence of life.In the process，they found some theoies such as ; the universe is so large and it has no space limited,numbers in the world are too much to account,consequently it could be just described as dust in sky or sand in Ganges?Of course,nobody really knows how many dust and sand does sky and Ganges exactly have .In the worlds,not only does the earth have life(all flesh in Buddhism) but many other worlds（Buddhism means other- worldly）do.such as Eastern Glazed World,Hierach YaoShi Buddha,Western Pure Land, Hierarch Amitabha,meanwhile it also has Arya Avalokiteshvara,DaShiZhi Buddhisattava and countless Buddhist took lessons on Amitabha,also described Western Pure Land as follows: It’s ten thousand million metres far away from the western earth,there is a place named Pure Land,but the worlds are not always the same and it was changing all the time,some born ,some dead,some borning ,some dieing.some will born,some will die.they were constant cause and effect.In the terms of time,there is no beginning or end in the universe,this was the theory promoted by Buddhism 2500 years ago.and till now it had proved to be right,However now scientist think that the earth and sun will be disappeared for some certain years later.,but without an anwser what a new world willl turn up.As well as the discovery of microcosmic,Buddhism had a deep research,A book of Buddhist’rules said ,Buddhist watch a bowl of water,finding eighty –four thousand germs,I had eaten meat if I wouldn’t speak incantation when I drink water.6th B.C ago,our Buddha knew there were countless germs just by eyes.(eighty-four thousand germs in Buddhism means countless germs).But till the invention of high developed microscope ,people can prove that Buddhism is ahead of high-tech ages 2500 years ago.

Buddhism is science not only on its theory but also the ways of life.First,Buddhism take a scientific attitude towards the ill of human beings,it can be divided into three kinds,1.if patient got sick by doing something unmoral,it can be get well by chanting sutra and Buddha-work.2.if one got illed naturely,it must to use medicine,in Buddha ages,Buddha himself embrocated a bhikkhu and so on.3.if someone got illed by doing so many bad actions and this was never be saved.Consequently,Buddhism is not the same as other relogion which promoted not to use medicine when got illed.The Buddhism first analysised the life from objective science,which tols us everybody can just have born, old and died onlyi once.Second,it’s also scientific at the details on eating. as a human being,eating is important to us,Buddha requires bhikkhu quantity and time under control,this quite siuts our contemporary medicine rules:living and eating under some certain rules,avoiding eating without any limitation(regarding the rule :no eating after noon,it also has certain reason ,and now here I won’t plan to explain more ).also reading from the scripture,you can see a Chinese sentence reading “Fan Shi Jing Xing” which means one shuould have a walk after meals.so there is also a common saying,hundred walks after meals ,ninty-nine years old you may live.2500 years ago Buddhist had a habit of gargling,eating a branch of a tree named Yang Branch (as there was no toothpaste),Buddhism strongly promoted to be a vegetarian,and now many books are discussing that be a vegetarian is healthy for human beings and can avoid getting illed.In a word,the theory on the way of Buddhism’s life is scientific,though there is no science befor Buddhism setting up.its advanced theory and sense had already meet with science with no question,and a sure thing that there may be sense of science in Buddhism’s living way.Rules of Buddhism also has certain scientificity,such as Buddhist Karma,it’s a domocratic and scientific rule,now political consultative conference,congress and so on have been found in the rule,if you want to decide something ,you must have a certaim number of people or it will not work.
