DALAI LAMA: THE RESPONSE OF THE CREATOR.

Written by Dalai Lama

QUESTION : He has said that according to Buddhist philosophy there is no Creator, no God, creation, and this can start making a lot of confidence in the end spiritual viewpoint. He can explain the difference between Primal Buddha Vajrayana and not a Creator God?

His Holiness the Dalai Lama : I understand the Primal Buddha, also known as Buddha Samantabhadra, is the ultimate reality, the world of Dharmakaya - the space of emptiness - where all phenomena, the bar pure and polluted, is insoluble. This is taught by explaining the sutras and tantras. However, within the scope of this question, only traditional tantra Dharmakaya explained in terms of optical Spirit nature, (or the clear light nature), the ultimate nature of mind; this seems to imply all phenomena, samsara and nirvana, arises from the source is transparent and brilliant. Even Tan Phai Home Services has concluded that "physical release" of a practitioner of Yoga University - Great Yoga is included in the fitness of the practitioner has reached the stage of meditation where experience of the subtle aura was itself evidence - which was until the practitioner to continue in this basic space he will remain completely free from any obstacles that obscured the mind, sunk in that state of bliss.

Therefore, we can say that the basic sources, optical components, is close to the concept of the Creator, since all phenomena, whether they belong to samsara or nirvana, have arisen from the him. But we must be very careful in talking about this source, we not be led into error. I do not mean that there is an existence where there, as here, there is a set of optical components, similar concepts are not Buddhist Brahma as a platform. We are not idol worship of this dazzling space. We have to understand that when we talk about the ultimate aura or inherent, that we are talking on a personal level [1].

Likewise, when we talk about karma as the cause of the universe, we eliminate the concept of a special master called karma exists a completely independent way. Rather, the traces of collective enterprises - industrial, and professional individuals - between industry, the primal cause of the formation of a world. Within the scope of tantra, when we say that all the world appears from the aura, we do not visualize this source as a specific entity, but as the ultimate aura of every being. We can also, on the basis of the purity of its essence, understand that this aura is the Primal Buddha. All stages of creating the life of every being - death, the intermediate body, and rebirth - represents nothing more than the expression of diverse capabilities of optical components. It is both the mind and the most subtle energy. Increasingly lose their aura of subtle it how much we gain experience expressed as crude shape than they were.

In this way, death and the intermediate body is the moment where crude expressions derived from optical components to be re-dissolved. At death, we return to the pristine source, and hence there is a condition slightly more crude emerged to form an intermediate state before regeneration. In the state of regeneration, optical components appearing in the physical incarnation. At death we return to this source. And continue like that. The possibility to realize optical components, also known as the Primal Buddha, equivalent to the relatives attained nirvana, whereas the nature of ignorance aberration that we wandered spell rotation in different worlds of samsara life and death (including the six realms of hell, hungry ghosts, animals, humans, asura, and natural realms).

This is how we understand the concept of Primal Buddha like. It would be a serious mistake, if this perception as an independent existence and separate with no beginning of time (without beginning). If we were to accept the concept of an independent nature, the favorite explanation in the Commentary, "Brief Strong knowledge" Worthy of France, and in the ninth chapter of Shantideva work, completed reject self-existence of all phenomena, will be rejected. This in turn will reject the concept of Primal Buddha. The view of Buddhism does not accept the specified value does not stand on rational inquiry. If a classic Primal Buddha described as an independent entity, we must be able to clarify this recognition without the need to accept it a theory. We call this kind of classic texts "can explain" (business real meaning willow).

Q : Interested in the discovery of celestial physics and modern big bang theory "big bang" uncover a major attraction in the universe and a survey investigation by members of the generation our understanding of their origin, their destiny, and meaning of their existence. Theory "Big Bang" had a striking impact in the way of looking at the problem and nature; it has introduced a new awareness initiatives significantly. The formation of cosmic structures, with expression dependent correlation function (dependent arising), and with further research to uncover, appears to be an endless source of wonders. Like all spiritual traditions, Buddhism conveys a cosmic mystery. However, Buddhism is the notion of the creator. Why?

Most Western scientists think that life and mind is a wonderful result of the physical evolution of the universe, and yet they do not know how it does not know why this problem arises in such a manner to fulfill the necessary conditions to make the life and mind. What we know is that these conditions are very strict, yet done in our universe in a way not imagined. He has a very different perspective to this topic. Therefore, he can please tell us about the mind in its relationship with matter and the universe?

His Holiness the Dalai Lama : Why can not the foundation of the world in Buddhism? As been said that one can not find them in the formation of the universe as a rationale that causes no start (wife). If there is the beginning of the universe, will also be the start of the mind. If we accept a beginning of consciousness, we must also accept that the cause of it has a beginning, a cause of sudden production of the mind; this will lead to many big questions other. If consciousness arose without a cause, or from a permanent cause, the cause would have to exist on a permanent basis, always, or completely non-existent, forever. The fact that a phenomenon exists from time to time show that it depends on the causes and conditions (causes and conditions). When all conditions are meet, the phenomenon is produced. When these causes is absent or not fully, the phenomenon will not appear. As the causes without beginning and contrary to infinity, it looks like they also apply to students. The creation of the Creator so untenable.

Now let us pay attention to a particular phenomenon, such a glacier (glacier), but really a beginning. It was created like? The outside world appears as a result of the behavior of living beings in this world use. These behaviors, or karma, in turn arise in the trends and motivations of sentient beings, who have not seized the control of their own minds.

"Creator of the world", fundamentally, is the mind. In classic, the mind is described as an agent. In saying that, the mind has no beginning, but we have to distinguish here between crude consciousness and subtle consciousness. Many crude consciousness appears dependent on the physical aggregates, of the body. This is evident when we are mindful of the neural differentiation and function of the brain, but only because of the physical conditions that does not mean that this is sufficient to produce a perception. In order to give a perception that it will have the capacity to reflect and know an object arises, it must have a physical cause is the same. Cause the same physical platform, the same material as the result of it, in this case would be subtle consciousness. It is this same mental or subtle mind that it will penetrate the cells of the parents at the moment of conception. Subtle mind may not be the beginning. If it has a beginning, the mind will have to be born with something that is not the mind. According to The London Tantra (Kalachakra Tantra), one must reverse on the space particle (atom) to find out what the root cause physical external world as well as the physical body of living beings.

Buddhist cosmology setting cycle of the universe in the following way: first there is a time structure (a), then the time that the universe exists (head), then one other time that it destruction (damage), followed by a time of empty (zero) before a new universe formed. During the period of this emptiness, space particles exist, and from the seeds of this space will be a new universe formed. The particles in this space we see the same causes physical foundation of the entire physical world. If we want to describe the structure of the universe and the physical body of man, all we need to do is to analyze and understand the manner in which the natural ability of various chemicals and other factors that constitute the universe would have formed from particles of this space. On the basis of specific ability of these particles that the structure of the universe and the human body in her presence had happened. But from the moment that the elements that constitute the world began to clear up the different experiences of suffering and happiness in living beings, we have introduced the concept of karma - that is, the behavior analysis and negative has occurred and accumulated in the past. It's hard to guess that the place to which the natural expression of the ability to terminate the physical elements and the impact of karma began - in other words, the result of the behavior of our past - if they I wonder what connection there may be between karma and external environment is formed by the natural law, then it is time to explain what karma is.

Karma, meaning most first action. We distinguish one kind of karma, the nature spirit, the spirit of a factor is the will or knowingly (mind). Also present the karmic body (body) and speech (password). To understand the relationship between the karma of body, speech and mind of this same material world, we must be related to Tantra. The London Tantra specifically explained that, in our bodies can be found at the crude level, subtle, and extremely subtle, in the physical elements that make up the external world. Therefore, in this range, I believe, we must figure out the connection between karmic body, speech and mind with the external factors
