飛碟思考——三世實有 法體恆存UFO Reflections — The Three Times Exist in Reality; the Dharma Body Endures

 飛碟思考——三世實有 法體恆存

讀者問說：我在「飛碟思考」文章內容寫出，「法體」的觀點，「法體」怎麼可能還會福報降低？

半寄回答：

修行者的「法體」最後的修道成果，

無論是用涅槃形容或者是以不生不滅來表述，我們都認為祂應該是永恆的才是真理。

我也是這樣子認為，但所謂的永恆是形式上的意義，還是真實的意義？

我在45歲以後對這個問題窮追猛究，因為連我自己也迫切想明白，涅槃是不是真的是永恆不滅，

那永恆不滅的內容到底又是什麼？

老實說，我在45歲的時候對佛法的追求有一種很累的感覺，

但那種還沒有到達目的地的渴望，逼迫著我再往前走。

我渴望自己能明白什麼叫止息（中止）——涅槃。

我只能說：或許佛陀的涅槃我還不懂！

但我目前看過修道有成的高僧，包括我本身走過的境界，

我的體會與理解修行者的「法體」是一種能量，

能量可以橫跨千年，就像印度聖者一樣，

他的自述：他是修持「唯識學」有成就的修行者，

印度唯識學（瑜伽行派）的形成與創立時間（公元3世紀至5世紀），距離現在（2026年）大約是 1500年 到 1800年前，

這麼久的時間他還是維持一定的能量，但這份能量需不需要補充呢？

如果我說：要補充，佛教界是不會同意的！

那如果我說：聖者補充能量的方法，是行菩薩道的福，或許還有可商量的餘地，那就看你們自己的認同了！

拋開學說論點，法體恆存——如真是指修行者的法體現象，是否是另一個觀點。

到目前為止，我個人的認同即使是修行者的「法體」，也沒有永恆的存在。

UFO Reflections — The Three Times Exist in Reality; the Dharma Body Endures

 

A reader asked:

 

“In my article UFO Reflections, I mentioned the concept of the ‘Dharma Body’. How could the Dharma Body possibly experience a decline in its accumulated blessings?”

 

Banji's Response:

 

The ultimate spiritual attainment of a practitioner’s “Dharma Body”—whether described in terms of Nirvāṇa or expressed as being beyond arising and ceasing—is generally understood to be eternal. We regard this as the truth.

 

I hold the same view. However, does eternity refer merely to a formal or conceptual sense of permanence, or does it refer to something that truly exists?

 

After the age of 45, I pursued this question relentlessly because I myself urgently wanted to understand it. Is Nirvāṇa truly eternal and imperishable? And what exactly is the nature of this supposed eternal existence?

 

To be honest, when I was 45, I began to feel exhausted by my pursuit of the Dharma. Yet my longing to reach a destination I had not yet attained compelled me to keep moving forward.

 

I longed to understand what it means to bring something to an end—Nirvāṇa.

 

All I can say is this: perhaps I still do not understand the Buddha’s Nirvāṇa!

 

However, based on what I have observed of accomplished Buddhist masters, as well as the spiritual states I have personally experienced, my understanding and personal experience suggest that a practitioner's “Dharma Body” is a form of energy.

 

This energy can extend across thousands of years, as in the case of the Indian Sage.

 

According to his own account, he is a practitioner who attained accomplishment through the cultivation of Yogācāra (the Consciousness-Only school).

 

The Indian Yogācāra school, also known as the Yogācāra tradition, took shape and was established between the third and fifth centuries CE. This means its origins date back approximately 1,500 to 1,800 years from the present year, 2026.

 

Despite such a long passage of time, he still maintains a certain level of energy. But does this energy need to be replenished?

 

If I say that it does, the Buddhist community will not agree!

 

However, if I suggest that the Sage replenishes his energy through the merit and blessings accumulated by practicing the Bodhisattva Path, perhaps there may be room for discussion. Whether you find this explanation acceptable is up to you.

 

Setting aside doctrinal arguments, could the idea that the Dharma Body endures eternally—as expressed by Ruci—be another way of looking at the phenomenon of a practitioner's Dharma Body?

 

At this point, my personal view is that even a practitioner's “Dharma Body” does not exist eternally.

飛碟思考UFO Reflections

飛碟思考

(有讀者建議標題改為「幽浮」，

但它是有秩序的直線飛行，不是亂飛，不能說是幽浮，文章裡面只是借用熟悉的字眼而已！）

之前的文章寫過，在我大約30歲的時候，秋天某天下午約3-4點左右，親眼看過兩個圓型的幽浮已經是黯淡的顏色，就從我們2個人的身邊飛過去。

大約一層樓高的高度，

當時覺得速度很快。現在跟印度聖者比較那當然是不能比的！

這個部分印象中寫過了，但我當時除了目瞪口呆之外，

也在想，那感覺是有「生命體」的，

但是它不是機器，它就是一個圓形的虛幻幽浮🛸，是什麼力量讓它飛動的？

最近看到印度聖者的速度，再度想起當年看到的景象，

像虛雲老和尚們，

因為是華人的大圓滿思想，

所以他們修得的法身，是一個圓形的滿月狀月亮極光樣的法體，

對比於印度「學唯識」聖者，他們喜歡的是思考還有記載文字，所以他們的法身反而是人體的呈現。

那陣子，看過很多研究有關於飛碟方面的文章，如再出現有關於飛碟的報導一定會看完。

但我認為沒有寫到與觀察到重點，

我覺得那個圓形的飛行物，是有生命的，

但看起來是什麼內容都沒有？

就是一個虛幻體，它是如何飛行的？

最近印度聖者的示現，似乎給我一個具體的答案，虛老他們畢竟是在感應中看到的，沒有辦法用照片的方式呈現。

而這個世界上各國的修行者太多了，

每一位修行的內容跟思想也完全不一樣，

如果這些像虛幻的飛行物，也是一種法體的呈現呢？

黯淡的顏色，代表它們既使看起來是沒有生命的，是不是也是福報在退去，導致呈現黯淡的顏色？

（指我當年看到的幽浮飛碟的顏色，不是貼出的照片中的樣子。）

今天寫出飛碟思考，把30餘年前親身看到，卻弄不懂的現象做ㄧ個整理。

不管我前面的路會呈現什麼🤔

我始終對這一輩子修行所得到的一切，感到滿意！

對修行世界及無形力量能夠全盤做個理解，

這種喜悅，始終充滿我個人的精神世界。

UFO Reflections

 

(Some readers have suggested changing the title to “UFOs.” However, what I saw was flying in an orderly, straight line, not moving around randomly. So I would not necessarily call them UFOs. I am simply borrowing a familiar term in this article.)

 

I wrote in an earlier article that when I was about 30 years old, one autumn afternoon, sometime around 3 or 4 p.m., I personally witnessed two round UFOs, already dim in color, flying right past the two of us.

 

They were flying at approximately the height of a one-story building. At the time, I felt they were moving very fast. Of course, compared with the speed demonstrated by the Indian Sage I have recently seen, their speed would be nothing in comparison!

 

I believe I have written about this experience before. But apart from being completely stunned, I also had another thought: the objects seemed to have some kind of “life” within them.

Yet they were not machines. They appeared to be round, ethereal UFO-like forms. What kind of force was making them move through the air?

 

Recently, after seeing the extraordinary speed demonstrated by the Indian Sage, I was reminded once again of what I had witnessed many years ago.

Take Venerable Master Xuyun and other Chinese Buddhist masters, for example.

Because their spiritual tradition was rooted in the Chinese philosophy of Great Perfection, the Dharmakaya they attained manifested as a perfectly round, full-moon-like body, resembling an aura of light.

 

In contrast, the Indian Sage, who studies Yogacara, or Consciousness-Only Buddhism, seems to favor thinking, contemplation, and the recording of written teachings. His realized Dharmakaya, therefore, appears in a human form.

 

During that period, I read many articles and studies about UFOs. Whenever I came across another report about them, I would always read it to the end.

 

However, I felt that these articles never really addressed the most important points, nor did they make the observations that mattered.

 

I had the feeling that those round flying objects were alive. Yet, when looking at them, they seemed to contain nothing at all.

 

They appeared to be empty, ethereal forms. So how exactly were they able to fly?

 

The recent manifestations of the Indian Sage seem to have given me a more concrete answer.

 

After all, what Venerable Master Xuyun and other Chinese masters perceived was through spiritual perception and inner experience. Such phenomena could not be captured and presented through photographs.

 

There are so many spiritual practitioners in different countries around the world, and each person's spiritual practice, experiences, and way of thinking are completely different.

 

What if these seemingly illusory flying objects are also manifestations of a kind of Dharmakaya?

 

Could their dim colors represent a decline in spiritual blessings or merit? Even though they appear lifeless, could their fading appearance be a sign that their blessings and merits are gradually diminishing?

 

(To clarify, I am referring to the dim color of the UFO-like objects I personally witnessed many years ago, not the appearance of the objects in the photographs I shared.)

Today, I put my thoughts on UFOs into writing, bringing together and organizing experiences I personally witnessed more than 30 years ago but could not fully understand at the time.

Whatever the road ahead may hold, I remain deeply content with everything I have gained through a lifetime of spiritual cultivation.

The joy of gaining a comprehensive understanding of the spiritual realm and unseen forces has always been a profound and lasting part of my inner world.

前面的路The Road Ahead

 前面的路

讀者說：我真的沒有想要做什麼嗎？

請我給一個明確的答案。

半寄回答：

我本身的能量每天都在增加，

連我自己也懷疑這樣下去，會演變成什麼樣子？

印度聖者在我寫出佛法涅槃後，很用功的，幫我規劃了一些計劃，我跟他笑著說：您寫那個印度文我哪裡看得懂？

他跟我相視一笑。

連他都在幫我規劃了，但我也不知道要做什麼？

或許能量累積還不夠吧，等我再累積夠了再說。

就算我做夢都不會想到，會出現印度聖者來提供意見，

虛雲老和尚都是來來去去，印度聖者是ㄧ位身邊的道友跟秘書，會提供各種意見，

這是人類歷史上未曾出現過的經驗與模式，

所以前面會如何？我也想不出來。💪😄

我目前每天要看一些現象，處理一些事情，所以成立一個慈善團體是不適合的，

更具體說：我在做比較重要的事，只是這些事還不能明示，

謝謝🙏關心我的讀者！

我在南禪的讀書會上提過，修行有成就的修行者彼此感應是使用光的呈現與速度在做進行。

像印度聖者感應光而來，透過跟我討論「中觀八不-空」的理論，讓他使用光的速度加快！

而目前我在做什麼，其實也是使用光在做事情，跟印度聖者聯合之後，光的速度更大、更遠、更快速成辦事情。

唯有使用光的速度，才能承辦人力做不到的一切，

光的速度也是我們修行所成就的一切，

就算我現在肉身結束了，我所成就的光體一樣在進展。

用光的速度去做事情，這也是很有趣的，我自己也是從陌生到熟悉，到印度聖者的加入，讓這一切更顯得從容而得心應手。

(Ps;通常學佛法唯識的大德們都博學強記。

印度聖者寫規劃我前面的路，

其實是想告訴我，他可是學問滿滿喔！)

The Road Ahead

 

A reader asked:

“Do I really have no intention of doing anything?”

The reader asked me to give a definite answer.

 

Banji's Response:

 

My own energy is increasing every day.

 

Even I wonder what this will eventually develop into if it continues at this rate.

 

After I wrote about Buddhist Nirvāṇa, the Indian Sage worked very hard to help me plan several things. I smiled and said to him, “How am I supposed to understand the Indian language you are writing in?”

 

We looked at each other and smiled.

 

Even he is helping me make plans, yet I still do not know exactly what I am going to do.

 

Perhaps I have not accumulated enough energy yet. I will wait until I have accumulated more before deciding.

 

I never imagined, even in my wildest dreams, that an Indian Sage would appear and offer me advice.

 

Venerable Master Xuyun would come and go, whereas the Indian Sage is like a fellow practitioner and secretary who stays by my side and offers all kinds of advice.

 

This is an experience and a way of working together that has never appeared in human history.

 

So, what lies ahead? I cannot imagine it either. 💪😄

 

At present, I need to observe various phenomena and deal with certain matters every day. Therefore, establishing a charitable organization would not be appropriate for me.

 

To put it more specifically, I am working on matters of greater importance. However, I cannot disclose them openly just yet.

 

Thank you to the readers who care about me! 🙏

 

I have mentioned at our NanZen study clubs that when accomplished practitioners communicate with and respond to one another, they do so through the manifestation and speed of light.

 

For example, the Indian Sage came in response to light. Through our discussions of the Madhyamaka Eight Negations and the theory of Śūnyatā, his ability to operate through light became faster.

 

What I am doing now also involves working through light. Since the Indian Sage and I have joined forces, the reach and speed of this light have increased, allowing things to be accomplished more quickly and over greater distances.

 

Only through the speed of light can we accomplish things that human physical capabilities cannot achieve.

 

The speed of light is also the means through which everything we have attained in our spiritual practice can be realized.

 

Even if my physical body were to come to an end now, the development of the body of light I have attained would continue.

 

Working through the speed of light is also quite fascinating. I myself have gradually gone from being unfamiliar with this way of working to becoming familiar with it. With the Indian Sage joining me, everything has become even more relaxed and effortless to carry out.

(P.S. Buddhist scholars who study Yogācāra philosophy are usually very knowledgeable and have excellent memories.

 

When the Indian Sage wrote a plan for my future path, what he actually wanted to tell me was that he was a person full of knowledge and wisdom!)
