The Buddhism sky origin theory
Esoteric Buddhism
Esoteric Buddhism
Buddhism saves us from suffering and leads us to awakening through the teachings of Gautama Buddha. The method is the teaching of the Four Noble Truths and the practice of the Eightfold Path.
On the other hand, there is the Buddhism called Esoteric Buddhism. In Esoteric Buddhism, Vairocana, a super Buddha who personifies the universe itself, leads us to awakening.
Esoteric Buddhism
In Gautama Buddha Buddhism, we must practice the Noble Eightfold Path to becone Buddha. On the other hand, in esoteric Buddhism, Buddha (awakened person) is born from the body of Vairocana (That is Universe). As we human beings are part of Vairocana, we are Budda in born. Therefore, in esoteric Buddhism recognizing that we humans are originally Buddhas, we become Buddha by living without polluting our bodies (deeds), our mouths (words), and our intentions (minds).
Mandala
Esoteric Buddhism uses not only sutra but also pictures called mandala. By using the image in mandala, esoteric Buddhism preaches the truth which cannot be expressed in letters or words. There are two types of mandala, the mandala of the fetal world(womb world) and the mandala of the diamond world.
The Fetal World Mandala is lited up by the light of Vairocana. Raise human being to Buddha just as a child grows in the mother's womb. Represents the world of Buddha's compassion.
The Diamond Mandala represents the world of Vairocana's solid wisdom, which has the power to overcome blind passion. That must be a science.
Science the teachings of esoteric Buddhism
Esoteric Buddhism preaches by the point of view of the universe itself. Kukai, the founder of the Shingon sect of Japanese esoteric Buddhism, said the following three differences between esoteric Buddhism and Gautama Buddha's Buddhism.
(1) In Esoteric Buddhism, Vairocana preaches the truth.
(2) The truth in all things can be clarified.
(3) Person can become Buddha through this body.
Modern science has found the laws of physics in the natural universe. We understand that the entire universe, including the human body, is made up of atoms. In other words, human beings are a part of the universe, and we are born from the body of Vairocana exactly. Science continues to advance, eventually unraveling everything in the universe. That is what a living human can do. Living humans unravel the truth of the universe through science and awaken to the truth.
Many Buddha's lands (planets) in Vairocana (the universe). The mandala shows the appearance of the universe. The fetal world mandara illuminated by the light of Vairocana is the world of compassion. The Diamond mandala is a world of wisdom. In other words, it is the world that has reached an advanced scientific civilization that totally knows the universe.
By these above consideration, also Esoteric Buddhism implies that Buddhism is from the sky. With the development of science and the opening of our mind to the universe, we will be able to reveal the true teachings in the mandala.
