Doctrinal propositions
In terms of Buddhist doctrine, the righteous God Zhang paid equal attention to Zen Buddhism, but he mainly accepted the "three essences of harmony" theory of "Fahuazong", which not only opposed the empty view of Seng Lang, the representative of the "Three Theories Sect" in the period of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, but also denied the only epistemology of Yuan Shi, the representative of the "Wisdom Sect" in the period of the Three Kingdoms of Korea.It believes that all things are created by reason and harmony, and have no own stipulation, that is, "no self".The essence of things can be regarded as "emptiness", but things have phenomena in addition to essence, so it can not be said to be "emptiness", but "existence", but it is an image realized by "heart", which is actually illusory, untrue, and "false existence".Therefore, neither "emptiness" nor "falsehood" can reflect the noumenon of things, but can only reflect the one-sided understanding of one side of things.Only the highest wisdom of Buddhism, that is, the "middle truth", can understand the absolute truth, that is, the noumenon of things.In his view, the "middle truth" is between "emptiness" and "falsehood", and does not lean to any side. It regards all things in the universe as true or false, true or false, that is, the unity of emptiness, falsehood and middle, that is, the three essences are mutually inclusive and free from interference, and it is called the "three essences of harmony".
Three Essences of Harmony
Three Essences of Harmony
Yitian's theory of "three essences of harmony" is Buddhism based on the subjective consciousness of "heart"Idealist theoryIt is a copy of the theory of "Consciousness only".He said: "To be a Buddha, you should know the mind, its body is pure, its use is free, its identity is equal, regardless of the difference. Although we say that the three righteousness, the holy and the universal are one, according to the right, if you are confused, you will worry about life and death, if you understand it, you will be Bodhina, if you push it to the heart, you will be the heart, if you push it to the object, you will be the object. Therefore, all the methods in the world are the same, there is no difference".
