有情﹕

    佛法以有情為中心,為根本。 佛常以三處觀來觀察有情,分別有情的真相。 要從有情的流轉相續中,與身心的相依中去考察三處觀

    有情:梵語薩埵,有精神活動者,天人畜生餓鬼地獄=>人為根本

    三處觀:五蘊觀,六處觀,六界觀 => 心理學,生理學,物理學

 


界:詳物理分悉-地水火風空識-特性

    六界﹕地,水,火,風,空,識 偏物理的解釋

    The adult brain weighs1-1.5 kg. The area of surface is big.

    The total number of neurons in the human brain is approximately 10 billion.

    In primitive animals, the forebrain lags in development, but certain parts of the brain that are essential to survival of the species develop much more than others.

    The brain controls both conscious behavior (e.g., walking and thinking) and most involuntary behavior (e.g., heartbeat and breathing).

    In higher animals, it is also the site of emotions, memory, self-awareness, and thought.

    The brainstem (hindbrain), cerebellum, forebrain, composed of the limbic system and cerebral cortex, regulates higher functions.

    The limbic system is associated with vivid emotions, memory, sexuality, and smell.

    The cerebral cortex is split into two hemispheres.

 


六處觀:生長門-引生認識作用

    六處:眼,耳,鼻,舌,身,意。清淨色

    意:為身心交感的中樞;認識作用的泉源

    Information, in the form of electrochemical signals, moves through complex brain circuits, which are networks of the billions of nerve cells in the nervous system. A single neuron may receive information from as many as 1,000 other neurons.

    Strories: World War II, friends

    Neuro net:Learning ,recognition and memoryExamples for: memory & learning; kids language 3-4 years, wolf kid.

    The forebrain's cerebral cortex, in the uppermost portion of the skull, has some areas concerned with muscle control and the senses and others concerned with language and anticipation of action. The cerebral cortex is split into two hemispheres, each controlling the side of the body opposite to it. In addition, the right hemisphere is associated with perception of melody, nonverbal visual patterns, and emotion, while the left hemisphere is associated with verbal skills.

    Brain function is monitored by ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY(EEG).

    Maditation can help people to activate the neuro net connection. If you can control the connection freely, that means you have superpower.

 


五蘊: 詳心理分悉 色,受,想,行,識

    蘊:積聚;同類相聚;能識,所識

    色-變礙->物質 受-領納 想-取像 行-造作 識-了別

 


Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
  1. SN: How you perceive or acquire information
  2. Sensing:sensing function;realistic and practical

    Intuition:meanings, relationships beyond the senses;imagination & inspirations.

  3. TF: Reach conclusions, make desicions, or form opinions
  4. Thinking:Logical

    Feeling:person-centered values

  5. JP: the lifestyle you adopt in dealing with the outer world
  6. Judgment:a planned, orderly way, wanting to regulate life and control it.

    Perception:a flexible, spontaneous way; keep option open, understnad life.

  7. EI: How you focus your attention.
  8. Extraversion: focus on outer world, talking, need to experience to learn.

    Introversion: focus on their own inner world. Leran in their head. Know before experience it.

無常,苦,空,非我

    Dot, Line, circle to ball

    Life with time

    We are constrained by our sensors and our intelligence.

    What you see is not what it is, sometimes it is totally reversed.

    犢子部的[不即蘊,不離蘊]的不可說我

    苦苦 壞苦 行苦 五蘊幟盛苦 五取蘊

    16 combination of MBTD

    Organ tansfer - who is the body, me

    Infinite, 1/infinite

 


Analysis:Micro & Infinitive View

    微細觀:

    Quantum mechanics: The theory developed from Planck's quantum principle and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

    electrochemical signals, moves through complex brain circuits.

    Fourier Transfer: An infinite series whose terms are constants multiplied by sine and cosine functions and that can, if uniformly convergent, approximate a wide variety of functions.

    宏觀:

    four-dimensional continuum called SPACE-TIME.

    that mass increases with velocity; that mass and energy are equivalent; that objects appear to contract in the direction of motion; that the rate of a moving clock seems to decrease as its velocity increases; that events that appear simultaneous to an observer in one system may not appear simultaneous to an observer in another system.

    Infinit; 1/infinite

 


Conclusions:

諸佛世尊皆出人間,非由天而得也

佛法的修學,就是要從現實世間(俗諦)的正觀中, 發現其錯誤,不實在。去妄顯真,深入到世間真相的體現。
