SPIRITUALITY AND SCIENCE

Nowadays we hear a lot of people say that Buddhism is too difficult to comprehend, so I have taken the special theory of relativity to make Buddhism's fundamental teaching a bit clearer for you, and I hope that it is of some help in your understanding.
Many people say that they really don't know much about Buddhism, and that it seems too lofty, too deep, and too vast for them to comprehend. They think it seems too irrelevant to be compatible with modernity, and that you have about as much chance of understanding it as you do of getting a stroke of lightening to cook you a bean. But it is not all that difficult if you understand its basic foundation of non-producing, non-extinguishing in terms of the examples I have used.
In The Heart Sutra, we have another important phrases:

Form is no different from emptiness,
Emptiness is no different from form.
Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.

This is another seemingly unsolvable riddle. How can form be emptiness? For example, can emptiness become a rock and can a rock become emptiness? No, of course they can't become each other. Because they already are each other.
Take a rock as an example. lt is composed of molecular configurations, and the molecules are composed of atoms, which in turn are composed of electrons and neutrons, and particles. It is precisely these subatomic particles, however, which prove that form is emptiness and emptiness is form. In both nature and in experiments, when these particles are destroyed through collision, their masses can be transformed into kinetic energy. Matter is energy, and energy is matter, and they are constantly alternating. A rock is solid form to us, but it is composed, ultimately, of these subatomic particles which are constantly shifting bundles of energy. When they appear, we have form, and when they disappear, we have emptiness. So now you understand why, in Buddhism, we don't talk about objects; rather, we talk about constantly changing events.
The deeper we investigate, the greater the proof of the validity of the Teachings.

सनातन धर्म एक ही धर्म with Satyam Shukla and 49 others

जब तक मन सिर्फ शरीर का भाव रखता है, तब तक हर्ष - शोक, राग - द्वेष, शीत - उष्ण, आदिक द्वन्द्वभाव ( विरोध भास ) बना रहता है और जब समाधि अवस्था में चित्त वृत्ति (आत्म सवरूप का अनुभव ) - आत्म परायण होता है, उस समय सब द्वन्दों से निर्भय होते हैं । जब सुरति (वेदिक ज्ञान या सत्य का अनुभव ) मेरे इतनी एकाग्रता हुई कि अनात्म द्वैतभाव (अनंत काल से जो भटकना था उस का मिटजाना ) को भूलकर केवल ब्रह्म में ही अभेद हो गई तो, मुक्तजन जीवत्व के भ्रम को बिसार कर केवल ब्रह्म रूप ही हो जाते हैं।
