The Source of Human Beings in the Concept of Buddha


Author: Tao Qing Hsu (Hsu, Tao-qing)

 


In Buddhism, the Buddha Sakyamuni have mentioned about the source of human beings and the world. He mentioned that the source of human beings is coming from the human beings in light-sound heaven. Such human beings can light from their body and talk with each other by "sound" from mind to mind. And they can fly to everywhere because their weight of body is very light. However, they are greedy to eat the delicious food on earth, so their body is getting heavier, and can not fly to their home, the light-sound heaven.

 

According to the modern knowledge, someone thinks that the source of human beings is the alien. The Buddha Sakyamuni also mention about many Buddha or Bodhisattva living in different world. Some of their body is very huge and big. According to their view, our body, the human beings on earth, is so small like an ant if we stand in front of them. Even we are so small before them, they also know that they should not bully us, such as someone tell us not to kill the ants. It is very interesting, doesn't it? The unknown world is very broad and large, and is beyond our knowledge and experience.
