On Buddha Law
"Buddha Law" is most profound. It is the most mystical and supernormal science of all theories in
the world. To open up this field, it is necessary to make a fundamental change of the mentality of
ordinary people; otherwise the truth of the cosmos will forever remain a myth to mankind, and
ordinary people will always crawl along within the boundary delimited by their own ignorance.

What is "Buddha Law" after all? Is it a religion? A philosophy? That is only the understanding of
"the modernistic scholars of Buddhism". They merely study the theory. They regard "Buddha Law" as
something like a category of philosophy and make a study of and do the so-called research on it with
a critical eye. Nevertheless, "Buddha Law" is more than that little bit recorded in the Sutras, which
only deals with "Buddha Law" at the elementary level. "Buddha Law" is an insight into all mysteries
of the cosmos, and encompasses everything while leaving out nothing from the particle, the molecule
to the universe, from even the smaller to the greater. "Buddha Law" is an exposition of the cosmic
qualities "Zhen Shan Ren" ( Truth Compassion Forbearance) presented at different levels in
different ways. It is what the Tao School means by "Tao" and Buddha School by "Law".

Well advanced as the contemporary human science is, it is only a portion of the mysteries of the
cosmos. Whenever we mention some specific phenomena concerning "Buddha Law", somebody will
say, "We are now in the electronic age! Why bother with these out-of-date superstitions when science
is so progressive that spaceships have even reached other planets?" As a matter of fact, no matter how
advanced a computer is, it is no match for the human brain, which remains an unfathomable enigma
today. No matter how far our spaceships can fly, they are unable to get out of the physical world in
which we human beings dwell. The knowledge of the contemporary human beings or what they know
is just skin-deep, and too far from the real understanding of the truth of the cosmos. Some people even
dare not face up to, dare not approach or dare not admit the facts of the existing objective phenomena
because these people are too conservative and unwilling to change their traditional mentality. Nothing
but "Buddha Law" can thoroughly reveal the secrets of the cosmos, time and space and the human
body. It can genuinely distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and establish the right
view by eradicating all fallacies.

The guiding ideology of the present day human science can only be confined to the physical world
for its development and research. It follows such a way that a subject will not be studied until it is
recognized. As for the existing objective phenomena, which are invisible and intangible but reflected
in our physical space in concrete forms, people dare not approach them and regard them as
unidentified phenomena. Those opinionated people argue stubbornly and groundlessly that they are
natural phenomena. Those with ulterior motives simply put labels of superstition on all of them
against their conscience. Those who make little effort to seek truth evade them using as an excuse the
under-development of the science. If human beings can change their rigid mentality and have a new
understanding of themselves and the cosmos, they will make a leap forward. "Buddha Law" can
provide humankind with an insight into the immeasurable and boundless worlds for them.
Throughout the ages, nothing but "Buddha Law" can give a perfect and clear exposition of
humankind beings, all different spaces of material existence, life and the whole cosmos.
