However, that, the master, the other, the identity, the vegetarian restaurant chain, the owner...
Buddhism was originally just a philosophy, or a kind of wisdom, the essence is rationality, "all appearances are all falsehoods." It is disenchantment. However, in the end it became faith. Faith repelled rationality, so Buddhism became a tool of control (but it is not anymore. After the Buddhism control system has been overthrown on the ground, it has 10,000 feet, especially in Han. Buddhism, there is only one characteristic of making money). Christianity is a big shield. How many vicious criminals are Christians. They have no fear. As long as they are pious to God, they will be forgiven for whatever they have done. After confession, they can continue to do evil with peace of mind. God became their underworld boss.
"Believe" is often just "willing to believe". People always look for clues about what they are willing to believe, but ignore huge bugs-for example, they would learn Buddhism from a vegetarian restaurant owner, oh no, it's faith. , Not learning. Most things on this earth can't stand scrutiny, and they are broken with a hard hit, but there are always people who are willing to believe and not allow others to question them.
I actually wanted to prepare some vicious questions to ask the mage to see how he justified his claim, but I was persuaded by my friends, why bother to hurt those fragile benevolent men and women, they finally found a mud bodhisattva, which was broken and lost. . Moreover, other masters rely on this to eat, so I really can't ask them.
In "This Man Comes from the Earth", when John said that he is Jesus, the female professor suffered a blow. Her world collapsed, and the things she had believed in for a lifetime ended. She couldn’t accept it anyway—Jesus stood in front of her. He was not crucified but tied up. He was not the savior. He never walked on the water or raised the dead. He just urged people to do good. , And the teacher of Christ turned out to be the Buddha.
A few years ago, I often discussed some not-so-distant history with my dad. He was a student of workers, peasants, and soldiers who had a strong roots. He thanked Mao and the Communist Party for the rest of his life. He did not compromise and would not accept the views that challenged his beliefs. , I often want to lift the table. Actually I was not interested in refuting him, I just wanted him to understand the truth, but then I realized that it was in vain. Those beliefs and fallacies are already part of his life. They are connected by flesh and blood. Changing his beliefs is tantamount to denying his entire life. .
The professors in the film are even more pitiful. They can’t refute John’s words and don’t want to believe them. Seeing that their world is about to become a ruin, their way of self-help is to force John to say "Just now. It's all fake, it's a story", pressing harder every step of the way. Finally, John finally said, "Well, this is a story." They breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran away. When defending one's faith, self-deception is the ultimate killer, "Cheat me, please continue to lie to me."
Faith hates reason. A rational voice is calm and boring, and no matter how exciting things are, it turns into a cold logic under a rational voice, which makes people discouraged. For example, love is a reproductive impulse under the action of hormones, and homesickness is pepsin. People who are intoxicated are certainly not willing to accept it. The role of reason is to "disenchant", and what the people like to hear is "belief." Can disenchantment beat faith? I am very pessimistic.
