Spiritual Powers 5
Over the past two months, I’ve noticed continuous readership from India and Bangladesh. This has gradually brought back certain questions about the Buddhadharma that I have been reflecting on in recent years.
As my understanding of the Dharma deepens, I cannot help but admire the remarkable mathematical capacity within Indian culture.
From a Chinese cultural perspective, supernormal powers are often explained as the result of cultivating both merit and wisdom together.
However, the speed and scope of these powers far exceed what ordinary human ability can comprehend.
Furthermore, the Buddhadharma repeatedly emphasizes the “Three Knowledges.”
What other religion or philosophy continually insists that a practitioner must fully know?
What kind of capacity did the original discoverer possess,
to confidently declare that this is something that can be completely known?
Among these, the knowledge of past lives even traces back through previous existences.
As I continue to explore, more questions arise.
Through a modern perspective, I am gradually beginning to see the mathematical nature embedded within Indian culture.
When considering this mathematical dimension, issues of speed (impermanence) and space (non-self)—spanning past, present, and future—also begin to reveal deeper layers of understanding.
This is truly fascinating.
May the Buddhadharma in India flourish once again
and bring benefit to all beings.
Master Banji
