THE BUDDHISM IS THE ONLY SCIENCE WHICH STUDIED THE HUMAN DEEPLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY
The hard ones are the accumulation of soft
ones.
The strength is the accumulation of weak ones.
Softness overcomes all the strong.
The power of softness is infinite.

THE BUDDHISM IS THE ONLY SCIENCE WHICH STUDIED
THE HUMAN DEEPLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY
(From the Interview of Prof. G.Lkhagvaa to the “Daily News” one of three
major Newspapers, October 16, 2020)
Corr. (correspondent Ts. Baasansuren): To what extent has a person been
studied by science?
Prof. If we take the entire study of science 100%, then 95% of them are not
living things, but 5% are living being, of which 1% is related to humans.
Corr. So little?
Prof. If a person is not studied enough, then it is impossible to talk about his
development.
Corr. What does human development mean?
Prof. American journalist Dr. Jon Horgan published a book in 1996 called “The
End of Science”. He wrote this book on the basis of surveys of more than 20
geniuses of the world sciences, but none of the geniuses was able to depict
the future of their creations. In short, they could not answer the questions
Why? And How to be? Geniuses did not know a way out of the impasse.
However, Buddhism knows the reason for the impasse. The reason is that
science and art have reached their limits of mind or mental potential.
Unfortunately, the human mind is limited. This also refers to human brain
activity and appears within the Selfness, and has a beginning and end like
other things of samsara - the cycle of time. Buddhism also knows a way out of
the dead ends of the mind. This is consciousness.
Consciousness is immortal, its development is unlimited, therefore human
development is not limited. Because the development of a person is
determined only by consciousness, not by the mind. Thus, in Buddhism, the
mind does not play any positive role, and it is simply neglected and must be
gotten rid of. In connection with this, I recently gave a lecture "The New
Beginning of Science" in the form of a response to the book by J. Horgan
"The End of Science". “New beginning” means consciousness. This is also my
answer to your question: what is human development.
Corr. A simpler explanation about consciousness in your opinion?
Prof. The real world is beyond our thoughts and ideas, that is outside our
mind. Consciousness is our true wisdom, with which we deal after leaving our
mind.
Corr. What are the acceptable techniques for teaching the levels of
consciousness?
Prof. Meditation only, there are no other ways.
Corr. In your lecture, you refer a lot Buddha and Einstein.
Prof. A. Einstein, as the leading genius of our era, saw the most correct way
out of the impasse of science. He said, if there is any religion that could cope
with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. By his opinion, Buddhism
is a religion of a scientific nature, in power to give answers to questions of
science. Thus, he saw in Buddhism not only scientific character, moreover,
the salvation of science in general: by integrating Buddhism and modern
science.
Corr. What is the scientific nature of Buddhism?
Prof. Buddhism is the only science that has deeply and comprehensively
studied human and his development. In Buddhism, the development of human
consciousness at different levels is considered, ranging from the saint,
mahasadva, bodisadva to divinity. These names represent levels of
consciousness of developed people. This great scientific discovery of Buddha
was realized and is being carried out for thousands and thousands of his
disciples at different periods of the times of human history. Einstein's energy
formula is one of the proofs of Buddha's scientific knowledge.
According to this formula, energy and mass are the same, that energy is
converted into mass, and in turn, mass into energy. This is the Buddhist
development of consciousness as human enlightenment. Where m means
man as matter, and it has transformed into energy during meditation, then
man is simply not recognizable as matter, and in this case m = 0, then only E
remains - the energy or light, what does it mean Enlightenment. In this case,
the energy formula of Einstein used as the formula of the spirit (soul) or
formula of consciousness: E = (m = 0) c 2
In addition, a human of consciousness has the power to regulate him selves
the metabolism and the entropy of his body and bring these to zero. This is
the phenomenon of samadi and the implementation of the Nernst theorem,
the third law of thermodynamics. Samadi is one of the high levels of
meditation or consciousness. Buddhism is generally deeply scientific.
Therefore, I found in Buddhism supernatural science in all directions as
human studies, traditional medicine, cosmology, philosophy and others.
Corr. Your theory about human and his development is very interesting. I
would like to know more about this theory.
Prof. These theories are based on the Buddhist concept of human, which
speaks of five mahabhutas (elements) and spirit (soul) that are not yet
available in our science. The ancient Indian concept of the five mahabhutas or
basic elements (land, water, fire, air and ether) fully correspond to the
particles from which existed everything in the Universe, including us. In
addition, human created up to 70% from energy and due to the capacity of
energy, humanity is so diverse. In this regard, human is not exhaustible and
eternal, and is subject to the laws of natural sciences like energy, physics and
thermodynamics. Also, the energy information of a person is inherited, which
are created by physical, linguistic and mental activities of a person, and are
called karma. This is that part of hereditary data, which makes up 2/3 of all
inheritance in humans.
Corr. Your assumption of death, rebirth or reincarnation.
Prof. Death is a temporary phenomenon that only affects the physical body of
a person. Since this is a phenomenon, it does not belong to our true quality or
true essence. Human has acquired a physical body as clothing. In this life we
wore different clothes, many of them are not even in our recollections. The
body is nothing like a rainbow and foam, it exists and through time they are
not. We already know that energy, consciousness and spirit belong to our
higher energy body, make up about 70% and are equivalent to our “true I or
true myself”, which means immortality and eternity of human. By virtue of the
higher body, human is eternal. Even an atomic bomb is not capable of
destroying our true body. This applies not only to humans, but to the whole
being. We can consider the Buddhist and scientific points of view on death,
eternity, and reincarnation in following.
Buddha legalized: Everything does not come from anywhere, therefore
nothing arises. Everything does not go anywhere, so nothing is destroyed.
Nothing can be destroyed, only can be changed. According to the first law of
thermodynamics, energy can be neither created nor destroyed. But can be
transformed from one form to another. The laws of science and Buddhism
exactly coincide with each other. From here we can draw conclusions. First, a
person is eternal due to his True Self - the higher energy body. Secondly,
since he is eternal, after death he must come to another body, that is,
reincarnation is obligatory and indisputable. Now the question arises: what is
such a transition to another body and what law is authorized for such a
transition? Consider the evolutionary theory of Darwin, which is that living
things evolve under the influence of natural selection. The praise of Darwin's
greatness is that he understood how this happens: random changes occur,
and then natural selection leaves the beneficial ones from them, ignores the
neutral ones and cuts out the harmful ones. In Buddhism, another pattern
says: “Everything that is caused by a reason is fade away when a reason is
caused as well.” Nothing happens by accident. For something to happen,
there must be a reason. This is the Buddhist worldview. Buddhist theory of all:
“without origin or disappearance.” This means that the transition to another
body after death occurs according to the Buddhist and Vedic laws of evolution
in accordance with karmic information, which corresponded to the energy
information of physical, speech and mental actions of human. There are not
even the slightest mistakes because the information is completely correct.
Thus, a person can transform into 8 million species of life forms. This
transformation of life in Buddhism is called eternal suffering and will continue
indefinitely until you find the right way to overcome the cycles of time.
Overcoming the cycle of time is true liberation from suffering forever.
Corr. They say that there was a time when Mongolia was a country of many
enlightened people. However, the country did not develop.
Prof: The enlightened ones are people of consciousness. Consciousness will
not give us material wealth; it is not a means of achieving our thoughts and
goals. However, consciousness neglects all desires and needs of a person.
This is the true price of consciousness. This does not mean that ancient
Mongolia, including India - the country of great enlightened people must
necessarily be rich. One’s can I say that the ancient and present Mongols are
people who are completely different from each other. Their difference is like
heaven and earth. Our ancestors were people of consciousness, and we are
people of mind. By virtue of consciousness, our ancestors guided the world of
that time, and for many centuries established the real peace on the world.
This is the price of consciousness.
From a quantum physics perspective, I don,t see Einstein, Heisenberg, Max
Planck, and Buddha as different individuals. They are all equal, like Einstein
or Buddha.
