There are three gods and Buddhas in the world, one is the gods and Buddhas in their original form, one is the gods and Buddhas in the eyes of people, and the other is the gods and Buddhas held hostage.

When it comes to understanding the world, talking about religion, we can't avoid contact with gods and Buddhas, and we can't avoid all kinds of feudal superstitions, as if religion is the opposite of science, of course, there is also the cognition of gods, some religions think that every qiē in the world is created by gods, and our qiē is given to us by gods, and gods and Buddhas are always correct, so what is the truth of the facts?

After the light of wisdom revealed from the cloudy eyes of human beings looking up at the stars, the development of the whole human race was divided into two parts: sensibility and rationality, materialism and idealism, and godlessness, and slowly formed religion.

With the development of society, with the continuous refinement of human civilization, from the ignorant primitive worship has a variety of figurative worship, slowly almost all religions have the image of God and Buddha, due to the position of man himself, the slowly perfected God and Buddha basically have the image of man, but there is the ability to transcend people, such as all kinds of great supernatural powers, the energy that destroys the world at every turn, in fact, at this stage, human beings are the fear of nature and the ability to hope to change nature on the personified image, representing the human will.

If the pig produces wisdom, the god to worship must be Zhu Bajie, and if the monkey produces wisdom, Sun Wukong is their best object of worship, and the rest of the hairless qiē species have no love. At the same time, their gods will punish evil human deeds all day long, and their heroes will make it their ultimate mission to save the world by destroying all evil humans.

In history, the Yellow Emperor, Fuxi, King Wen of Zhou, Lao Tzu, Buddha, and Jesus were all enlightened beings at that time, all of which represent that in their historical stage, they have mastered the way of understanding the world, regardless of the noble and low races, they are all sages and sages in the history of human civilization.

When they left this world, or after they died, their descendants formed religious groups for their own interests or the same values, and there may be some followers of the sages who formed various religious groups, but they were eliminated due to their limitations or failure to grasp the historical trend of the time.

In particular, the rise of modern science has created problems for the development and cognition of religion; some people are superstitious about science, and some people are superstitious about religion, and on this road, it is too difficult to walk impartially, and the problems that mankind has not solved for 5,000 years are destined to be impossible for our generation to solve.

However, it is precisely because of the impact of science on human concepts and the application of science and technology that some religious concepts that violate the laws of historical development have collided with modern development ideas.

It is precisely because of the impact that there are waves, like a stone thrown on the water, which has an impact on some inherent religious ideas, which has caused all kinds of harassment, and if some religions are allowed to develop, they may always be so harmonious, but human beings as a whole will not make progress.

When human beings think, God laughs, and when too many people think, is there a God who is afraid?

Wrong!!!

Even the gods and Buddhas are not afraid, but what they are really afraid of is all kinds of people who steal the name of the sages to achieve their goals, etc., and the similar statements that questioning the true God, slandering the scriptures, slandering the Dharma, and slandering the Tao will lead to hell have never been said by the Buddha, gods, or God, but by various religious personnel.

The true gods and Buddhas never intimidate people, never curse people, but people curse, intimidate, and even kill people in the name of God.

Whoever believes in whom one does not believe in one does not mean that one is naturally righteous, and one cannot distinguish between good and bad, good and evil, because of what one believes in and what one does not believe; if you learn well, be kind, and not be superstitious, no matter what religion you believe in or not, no matter whether you are theistic or atheistic, you can always make yourself completely at ease; if you do not study well, you are not good, you are superstitious, what religion you believe in, or how scientific you are, you can only make yourself more and more ignorant, paranoid, and superstitious.

Only by constantly searching for the truth and exploring the true knowledge can we step by step to the true light. The gods, Buddhas and sages have all been the guiding light on the road of our search for truth, but for many people, this light is too bright, it has burned excessively, burning our ego, burning our initiative, and becoming a superstitious mountain of flames, superstition can not let us see the way forward, but will allow us to add more flames to this mountain of flames, thus blocking the way for future generations to seek the truth.

For some religions, the teachings and teachings have been perfected, forming a set of ways and means to develop believers, strengthen believers, and brainwash believers, from the intimidation of gods and Buddhas to the endless emergence of cause and effect, and from spiritual to physical destruction.

It is true that the means and remarks of the sages at that time were correct, and under the historical conditions at that time, they represented the truth, but when our horizons are broad enough and we realize the continuous development and change of the world, will the truth and the sages of the past still adapt to this era? Will the words of God and the Buddha always be correct?

Perhaps the sages themselves did not want to be the object of worship at all, but on this path of exploration, we have to need examples, and we have to learn from the sages. From the point of view of justice, under the historical conditions at that time, the sages did not represent superstition, but rather the prophets, and now, some people deliberately turn the gods and Buddhas into superstitious flaming mountains.

People have a sense of fear of the unknown, and use this fear to make it easier for some people to enslave others. The more violently spread, the more radical the believers, and the more rigorous the doctrine of the religion, is often the most superstitious religion; because in the development of these religions, the vast number of superstitious people are needed to support them, and the eyes of the masses are never bright, but the easiest to blindly follow, just like the promotion activities of various businesses, the last thing that merchants need is precisely the customers who compare prices everywhere, so many religions often do not need wise and wise believers, they need superstitious people, and only in this way can they develop better.

It is said that you are a lost lamb, but in the eyes of the clergy, you are just a fat sheep to be slaughtered, and only if you are superstitious, you may obtain greater benefits from you, and only if you are superstitious, can you obey the words of some clergy.

Of course, after the development of religion to this point, since it has existed to this day, it must have the ability to open up for itself, you say that some people are superstitious, he says that they do not represent our religion, you say these classics are superstitious, he says that we have scriptures that are not superstitious. It is equivalent to using superstitious scriptures to develop superstitious people, to be optimistic, and when questioned, to use other scriptures to justify themselves, anyway, it is the truth of gods and Buddhas, and all attacks on these religions have fallen into sophistry.

Of course, the ultimate goal of these debates is to have an object to defend as a whole, to have a deterrent effect on all believers, so that the world is created by a certain creator, and a certain god or Buddha represents the truth, and it is not allowed to question the gods and Buddhas, and it is not allowed to question the creator, we are born sinful, we need to repent, we want to go to heaven, we want to go to the Western Elysium, anyway, we always give you a lot of promises in the afterlife, because you can't prove the truth or falsehood, and at the same time, when you question it, there are all kinds of scriptures and even causal curses that brainwash you in turn。

This will inevitably produce a god or Buddha or creator who is only correct and not allowed to be questioned, and only in this way will it be more conducive to extensive brainwashing, so that more people will superstitiously worship at the feet of certain gods, Buddhas or clergy, and wisdom will not be enlightened. What they want is a power that can shock your soul, and they want an object of concentrated intimidation against everyone, and these sages are not wrong, they are just people who interpret the scriptures, people who interpret the sages.

Why has Taoism not become a monotheistic religion, and why have Taoist gods and spirits emerge one after another?

Our nation's attitude towards religion is different from other religions in our bones, we not only have the courage to kneel, but also the courage to stand up, we are in awe of the heavens and the earth, but we are not superstitious in the heavens and the earth, we are in awe of the sages, but we are not superstitious in the sages.

The legend of the great flood extinction, many religions are extended to the anger of a personified creator, only we are not superstitious about a personified creator, the flood system of obedience, if we are superstitious about the creator, Dayu can not leave a reputation for all generations, Sichuan is still a country, is Dujiangyan, it is our sages who turned the country into the country of abundance.

Our sages are constantly transforming this world, not complaining about the heavens and praying for the Creator to forgive their sins, praying for the next life to go to some heaven or the Western Elysium, but in this life, I want to be an upright person, a person who stands up to the heavens and the earth.

Only when fear arises, only when there is cringe, are we willing to bow at the feet of a certain Creator, worship sincerely, and only without self-confidence do we not allow others to question their own teachings, our ancestors are undoubtedly brave, they won in the battle with nature, in the struggle against all kinds of concrete disasters!

Win with dignity, so we lose the sense of invincible fear of nature, which also causes it to seem that our nation does not have a clear religious belief, which from another aspect, illustrates the greatness of our ancestors, they successfully wrote our pride in the face of nature in our culture, engraved into our blood, but unfortunately some people have forgotten these glories, in the backward period of the nation did not establish self-confidence, but because of inferiority complex to sneer at traditional culture, because of negation and denial.

We are proud to lead the world for many years, in the leading stage, because of the lead, we rely on the wisdom and ability of our own faith, we rely on the courage to believe that we can do it ourselves, and the gods we believe in will change according to the evolution of our society, because when a god cannot represent our values, it is time for us to abandon him. But when we are backward and social, we have no self-confidence, we have cowering, and we have fear, and this lack of self-confidence has evolved into inferiority, resulting in the current status quo of faith.

Jingwei reclamation, Kuafu chasing the sun, Yugong moving mountains, Jiang Ziya sealing gods, Zhong Kui catching ghosts, agarwood splitting mountains to save his mother, and Sun Wukong making trouble in the heavenly palace, let me ask, which nation in the world dares to face the gods like this? The people of that nation have such courage???

There is no other, only we have the courage to never kneel down in the face of the gods, never to fear, but even to worship the gods, it is because they are our ancestors, they are our guiding lights.

Therefore, we have the old man under the moon who pulls the red thread, we have the Maitreya Buddha who smiles with his eyebrows, we have the Guanyin Bodhisattva who is compassionate and compassionate, we have the Seven Fairies who marry Dong Yong, and we have the three stars of Fulu Shou who give us benefits with a pleasant face, compared to other ethnic groups, it is simply too humane. (I don't reject Buddhism, nor do I reject orthodoxy, but I just don't like superstitious people, regardless of Buddhism.) ）

The origins of all religions are almost inseparable from natural disasters, and the forces behind all myths are constantly deepening their inner fears, and at the same time, they are constantly pursuing supernatural powers, that is, supernatural powers, and magical arts, and constantly deifying them. Only our nation has won the battle against nature.

For our national understanding, becoming a god is not an extravagant hope, we are not the creator of the Creator, we can also be gods, we can also become immortals, this is simply a challenge to some gods and Buddhas, if in other religions, it is simply a great rebellion, in our opinion, but it is taken for granted.

Our gods are never high, they are never commanding, they come from us, they represent perfect morality, so we have the right to ask God and become gods, so we have the right not to be superstitious, so we have the self-confidence to believe in ourselves.

The above has also caused in the glorious period of the nation, the magnificence and magnanimity of China, in the national downturn, the admiration of foreign flattery, self-inferiority and self-contempt, this is our advantage, but also our disadvantage, but we must have confidence, we will eventually go to glory again, as long as we work hard, as long as we do not lose confidence.

In my opinion, even if there is a creator, even if it is Taoism, what we believe in should not be the Taoist group itself, but the Tao.

The Tao is the truth behind all things, there is no such thing as a personified Creator, there is no such thing as a Creator manipulated by an imam, a pope, a sect leader, a priest, a monk, or a Taoist priest, and there is no such thing as a Creator who wantonly punishes or rewards people because of the preferences of imams, popes, sect leaders, priests, monks, and Taoist priests, and those who do not believe in me go to heaven and those who do not believe in me go to hell, those who recite the Buddha's name are in Western Bliss, and those who slander the Buddha are reincarnated as animals, all of which are used to intimidate, threaten, and deceive people.

Again, any religion is inseparable from three factors: love, hate, and fear. Loving the path like the path makes people have good thoughts, hating like eliminating demons gives people the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and fear is like cause and effect that binds the evil thoughts in people's hearts, all of which are all spiritual practices.

It's just that some religions also mix foolishness, in fact, if you don't believe in them, they won't go to hell, chanting Amitabha Buddha can't make people ascend to bliss, sitting for ten years can't make people become immortals, cultivating the mind, cultivating virtue, cultivating, no love, no hatred, no fear is the immortal Buddha in the world.

In the final analysis, no matter from the perspective of human historical development or modern scientific research, religion is created by man, and constantly improves its teachings, develops with the development of the times, and serves the spiritual world of mankind.

God is man-made, Allah is man-made, God is man-made, Buddha is man-made, and after humans evolved wisdom and began to know the world with our wisdom, God was constantly created.

If there is really such a creator, it is also the universe that contains the great truth, and it is the special environment of the earth that has created the existence of human beings, and it is better to thank God than to thank the asteroid that made the dinosaurs extinct.

Only by knowing these can we truly believe, instead of fearing that we are born with sin, all of which are given by God; open our eyes and see, no matter in which country, every qiē is the work of our ancestors and sages, and our civilization is condensed by the crystallization of collective wisdom over thousands of years, and is slowly acquired by the way we understand and see the world, and has never been given to us by a personified Creator.

Of course, Taoism also has gods, but what is the god of Taoism? Is it the personified creator who enslaves people, is it the so-called god who treats you as a lamb, is it the god and Buddha that you should fear whether it is right or wrong?

No!

The gods of Taoism are first of all, and then interpret a part of the Tao, such as the merit of the gods Yan and Huang Emperor, such as the merit of the gods Yao Shunyu Sanguan, such as the five thousand words of morality Lao Tzu, such as the compassion to save people Sun Simiao Zhenren and so on, when they are in the world, they are living people, not by enslaving people to become gods, but really conducive to people to become gods.

In this sense, the way scientists now explore nature is also the way of cultivation, they continue to transform the world, enrich our wisdom, and when they can really benefit the progress of mankind and be remembered by future generations, they are also gods in the Taoist sense.

We have never been slaves to God, we have never needed a God who enslaves us, God should be the sages who guide us forward. There is never one God, when you can interpret the existence of the Tao, when you can become a god with great merit, future generations will remember your merits, and you may also become a god.

To find faith, we should first know who we are, not let ourselves be superstitious, not let ourselves be extreme, and not let ourselves obliterate the pursuit of true faith because of religious superstition.

Don't be superstitious about any so-called spokesman of God, don't be superstitious about any monk, Taoist, priest, imam, when you are superstitious, they will hinder you from finding true love, hindering you from finding truth and goodness, hindering you from finding true faith.

If there really is such a personified God, then we can lower God to a higher level, and lower people to a higher level, and look at this truth more fairly:

Reduce God to man, and reduce man to pig, because for pigs, man is a god-like being.

There is religion in the pigsty, a pig is a priest, he said, those who believe in me will have eternal life, those who believe in me will become adults, you eat fat, when you eat the fattest, people will come to meet you, go to a holy place called "slaughterhouse", where you will be reborn and become a person, you can enjoy the happiness that you can't get in the pigsty, there are eighteen ** pigs for you to enjoy, to achieve the great harmony of life.

If some pigs don't believe me, then the priest will say, those who don't believe in me will go to hell, and those who don't believe in me will not be exalted forever, and they must not slander God's existence.

When most of the pigs are content with the status quo, eat well and slowly get fat, the god of the pigs is also the happiest man, because you are the lamb he grazes, you are the pig he raises, when you are the fattest, when you feel that you have ascended to heaven and been reborn as a god, it is the happiest time for man.

This is what is useful if there is no free lunch, it is useful to feed you and herd you as a lamb if there is no naked reality reflected by a personified Creator, and do you know that the so-called heaven and the Western Elysium are not God's table or canteen?

The truth is that there is no such thing as a god who enslaves the world, the way we seek is the supreme truth of the universe, our wisdom and our gaze allow us to look at the world, allow each of us to improve ourselves, find our true self, find true love, true goodness, you yourself are your god and Buddha, you don't have to kneel down and pray for the so-called god, you don't have to bribe the god to ask for change.

Faith should not be superstition, no religion including Taoism should be superstition, faith should serve our world, religion should provide us with ways and ideas to solve problems, not need us to bow down, we need to have a sense of awe, but we are in awe of the Tao, and we are in awe of the people who interpret the Tao and become gods, not the personified Creator who enslaves us and deceives us and fools us.

Our historical sages had this self-confidence, our ancestors had this self-confidence, and we should also have this self-confidence, and we should not give up hope because of temporary loss.

In the development of the nation, on the road of seeking faith, just like the clouds and sunshine, there will always be changes, strengthening our hearts, enhancing our self-confidence, and finding our true faith is the foundation.

Any blind obedience is wrong, any superstition is wrong, even superstitious science, even superstitious experts, even superstitious monks, even superstitious Taoist priests.

Let the sages continue to be our guiding light, let us have the courage and consciousness to kneel, and let us also have the courage and consciousness to stand up and face the gods and Buddhas. There is the motivation of faith, the courage to question, the desire to piousness, and the courage to move forward.

When I see it, the world is as I wish, I see it as I come; when I don't see it, the world is as I wish, I am as I come; when I realize myself, the gods and Buddhas are destined to be a scenery on our way, we are destined to look up at the gods and Buddhas from the feet of the gods and Buddhas, we are destined to look down on the gods and Buddhas from the head, we are destined to surpass the gods and Buddhas, we are destined to replace the gods and Buddhas, future generations are destined to pursue more truths, and future generations are destined to explore more worlds, perhaps in the future our future is not above the earth at all, but the starry sky above our heads.

At that time, religion will also exist, gods and Buddhas will also exist, future generations will interpret their wonders, and there may also be arguments about the personified Creator, but we will try our best to fulfill our responsibilities in the context of our times.
