第一義空經2
《解讀龍樹〈中論〉27道題》第19章210頁。
這裡邊的佛教論師們對時間的問題,已經說的夠清楚。
我有一陣子相當著迷於書裡面那一頁對時間的探索,論師們對時間的辨證引人入勝!
我在第一義空經1裡面寫說:
「3.這裡邊要起變動的「無常」,也已包括對時間的認識問題。」
佛法業力觀點已經包含時間,
例如1:在1年前、在昨天做了比較重大的事不管是善、惡事,從做的行動力開始即刻產生催化-時間-速度。
例如2:在業力觀點中時間也不是直條線的,
ㄧ群人共同造了善業,但各自際遇不會ㄧ樣,因每個個體原本已經背負的種種本來也不同,
因此,共同的善業所產生的福報落點也因各自背景不同,展示的時間點也不一。
反之,惡業也ㄧ樣。
從現在能認識的時間看待善、惡業就有著複雜度,更何況跨過前世今生,
加上生命裏的變動力從沒停止過,
(個體思考能力或行事風格轉變)
不論現在或跨每一世都是,
不管是個體的變動或是時代的變遷,
從時間看待業力觀點,需要思考的層面廣泛。

(建議看《中觀論》讀者,先不要管勝義的問題,把這一頁的辨證弄懂,會慢慢理解佛法提出的勝義意義。)

The Ultimate Truth of Śūnyatā in the SaṃyuktaĀgama 2
In Chapter 19, page 210 of Nagarjuna’s Middle Way: Mulamadhyamakakarika, the Buddhist scholars offer a thorough analysis of the nature of time.
I was once profoundly engrossed in the exploration of time discussed on that page. The scholars’ dialectical reasoning regarding time was exceptionally compelling.
In The Ultimate Truth of Śūnyatā in the Saṃyukta Āgama1, I mentioned:
“3. This idea of change and impermanence also involves our understanding of time.”
From the Buddhist perspective on karma, time is already embedded within it.
Illustration 1: When a significant act is committed,whether wholesome or unwholesome, a year ago or just yesterday, the act itself immediately sets off a process — like a catalyst — involving time and speed.
Illustration 2: In karma, time is not linear.
Even when a collective act of merit is generated, the fruition of its karmic results unfolds diversely across individuals. Each being carries a distinct karmic history, thus the merit manifests at different times and in different forms. The same applies to negative karma.
Understanding good and bad karma within the limits of the present life is already complex. It becomes even more layered when we take into account past and future lives, along with the changes (that occur in one’s way of thinking or behavior) over time.
This process of change never stops — not in this life, and not in any lifetime. Whether it’s personal growth or broader changes in the world, these shifts constantly influence how karma unfolds.
Thus, when we consider karma through the framework of time, we must engage with a broad and nuanced range of perspectives.

第一義空經3
已經有大德解開中觀空性的1+1解讀,😊大按讚!
再提一個觀點:
空性的1+1引申至《般若心經》的「不增不減」,如何!
佛經或論典看多了,總覺裡面是印度民族性的運算能力,
而《中觀論》更是其中的佼佼者,不論就空間、時間、運動(速度)全部辨證。
好一部天書。

The Ultimate Truth of Śūnyatā in the Saṃyukta Āgama3
Some layman has already illuminated the Madhyamakaunderstanding of śūnyatā using the analogy "1 + 1" — a truly insightful interpretation. 👍😊
Let me offer a further perspective:
Could this notion of “1 + 1 within śūnyatā” also shed light on the Heart Sutra’s profound phrase — “neither increasing nor decreasing”?
The more one studies the Buddhist scriptures and commentaries, the more one senses the distinctively Indian philosophical temperament — analytical, methodical, and logically rigorous.
Nāgārjuna’s Mūlamadhyamakakārikā exemplifies this to the highest degree, applying dialectics to space, time, motion, even speed.
A true celestial text — both profound and intellectually dazzling.
