For a moment, Tang Qi could not find the argument to refute Master Zhichan, and the scene became silent.

In quietness, Tang Qi looked up at the window.

At this time, the night was as dark as paint, and outside the window was dark.

The indoor light shines on the walkway outside, and a blending dividing line appears between the lights and the night. A tall figure is "picked" by the lights against the night.

...It's Senior Brother Sim!

He is two meters tall and his characteristics are too obvious.

Senior Brother Sim seemed to want to come in to find Master Zhichan, but found that Tang Qi was inside, so he turned around and left before he could even reach the Damo Academy.

Tang Qi watched him leave until his back disappeared in the night, emitting a slight light...

Tang Qi, whose mind was distorted by Master Zhichan, didn't notice that the slight light was actually emitted from Senior Brother Sim.

Looking at Tang Qi outside the window, he was thinking:

The universe is a whole, and it can be viewed from a microscopic perspective or from a macroscopic perspective. Why does such a whole need to be explained from two sets of theories?

What is even more confusing is that since quantum theory can correctly explain the microscopic world, and relativity can also correctly interpret the macroscopic world, why do two sets of theories become incompatible with each other?

...Is it true that the Planck constant dividing line has not been drawn to the singularity of the Big Bang? It is still a distance from the singularity that cannot be understood by the material world?

"According to the master's opinion, the wave-particle duality is that there is a wave state first and then a particle state?"

"In the energy field, there is no order at all. It is purely boring and nonsense. However, outside the energy field, do you think there will still be particle states?"

Master Zhichan's words shocked Tang Qi again.

The answer is very yes. There must be no particle state outside the energy field.

"Think about it carefully,"

Seeing that Tang Qi was asked, Master Zhichan reminded:

"Why do particles have a saying of decay, but waves have no decay?"

All particles will decay, and even extremely stable protons will decay.

In the standard model of particle physics, proton decay is predicted. Because the decay time of protons is comparable to the lifespan of the universe, it is impossible to find its decay phenomenon in reality.

Master Zhichan’s tip once again made Tang Qi look confused.

With Tang Qi's knowledge, it is no longer "I regret that I am afraid of having less books when I use them", but the level of basic science development. It has really reached a bottleneck. Although some new scientific research problems can be discovered, they cannot be explained clearly by science. There is even an illusion that the more scientific research progresses, the more problems it cannot be explained.

Master Zhichan took off his cross-sitting posture and finally stood up from the ground:

"Humans regard the universe as a material world, which is likely to be a survivor effect. The existence of the universe may not represent the material world. If the universe appears, it represents the material world, then particles should never decay, or particles should have the nature of counter-decay to be reasonable - decay to a certain extent, and after remediation, they can decay back. The material world formed in this way is the eternal world.

Furthermore, in terms of size, the universe is the void that occupies most of the space. Even within the atomic nucleus, the void also occupies most of the space. Therefore, the universe does not really represent the material world.”

Tang Qi expressed his disappointment, quite disappointment.

"Teacher Tang, don't be dissatisfied, listen to me to explain it to you."

Master Zhichan said with a smile:

"The objective laws of things depicted by classical mechanics coincide with the natural laws revealed by the causes and conditions in Hinayana Buddhism. The law of energy conservation in thermodynamics has the same effect as the Buddha nature mentioned in our theory, "neither born nor destroyed, neither increasing nor decreasing". Let's look at the quantum theory developed in modern times, the wave-particle duality corresponds to the Prajna emptiness of Mahayana Buddhism, "form is emptiness" and "emptiness is color". The set of probability represented by the quantum equation wave function points to the infinite effects and infinite possibilities of the mind in our theory, and our teacher is even more bluntly encouraging us to "control the mind in one place and do nothing."

"Master, you are forcing your reason..."

Tang Qi looked dissatisfied.

"Teacher Tang, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Master Zhichan did not allow Tang Qi to interrupt and continued:

"The attempt to lead the illusion of matter has been proposed. Isn't it the "all appearances are false" revealed by our Mahayana Buddhism "Diamond Sutra"? Our teacher established his theory more than 2,500 years ago. At that time, science did not even have a cute teeth. And now, you actually accused us of stealing scientific research results and applying scientific research names? Let's talk about the superstring theory you are building. It seems that everything in the universe can be regarded as the vibration of strings. What is the difference between this and the realm of the Buddha revealed by our teacher?"

Tang Qi's face was dissatisfied, and gradually became surprised, but there was a big wave in his heart...

——It sounds like scientists are indeed climbing Buddhist Mount Sumeru!

"I'm sorry, I know very little about your doctrines and I really can't argue with you what's right or wrong."

"Our teachers stand at the level of human consciousness to deconstruct the truth of the universe and the truth of life. You look down on me from the heart and think that it is nonsense, but you can't even explain the theories you created. I personally think that your scientific breakthroughs do not require a larger energy level accelerator, but to improve your level of cognition and consciousness. This is the cause of the disease."

Master Zhichan said very calmly.

"Sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Tang Qi was powerless to refute, feeling extremely embarrassed:

"I can't represent the scientific community and cannot accept your interrogation..."

Tang Qi was so calm that his thinking became clear all of a sudden. He was refuted by Master Zhichan to the end of his life and had to immediately raise a question:

"Since the master deeply believes that Buddhist doctrines are a set of ultimate doctrines, why should this doctrine be divided into Hinayana and Mahayana? And it is obvious that there is a contradiction between Hinayana and Mahayana: Hinayana talks about cause and condition, causality, and is subject to objective constraints; Mahayana breaks the appearance and attachment, denies fate, and reveals that the mind can be vast. Does this mean that Sakyamuni originally had swaying left and right and lacks understanding of the truth?"

"Teacher Tang, you are wrong. You don't systematically understand our doctrine."

Master Zhichan looked calm and used to saying:

"More than 2,500 years ago, the people's level of awareness and consciousness was very low, and many natural phenomena that they could not understand were classified into the aspects of gods, gods, ghosts and ghosts. Hinayana Buddhism was taught to such people to facilitate their entry. Not to mention the people of the teacher's era, even many elderly people today, you cannot tell them some profound secrets, and they cannot comprehend them. They are more willing to accept the preaching of the law of cause and condition."

Master Zhichan continued:

"Among the tens of millions of disciples under the teacher, there are many students with philosophical thinking ability. Mahayana Buddhism is directed at them. Hinayana Buddhism is an indefinite Buddhist teaching. It is a principle of the harmony of causes and conditions of all things on the surface of objects and abide by the inner cause and effect. Mahayana Buddhism reveals the true nature of the heart, breaks the appearance and understands the mind, and sees the nature, and points directly to the Buddha nature. It is a perfect Buddhist teaching. Our teacher explained it when he was extinct. After his old man is not here, the students should follow the meaning sutra, not the undefinite sutra. In other words, the teacher understands the truth of the universe very well, not the lack of understanding. The reason why the Mahayana and Hinayana is to teach according to their aptitude."

"It seems that I do not know enough about your doctrine. I can only say sorry."

Tang Qi said apologetically:

"Since the master is also from physics, please give me a direction. I firmly believe in and respect your interpretation of quantum wave function, but it should be used in our language and it will be easier to be accepted by the public. Please give me some advice—"

Tang Qi humbly asked for advice.

Master Zhichan looked at Tang Qi, looked at Tang Qi again and again, and finally decided:

"The three mainstream interpretations are correct, but not completely correct, and they all have necessary prerequisites. Since you can't accept my interpretation from a Buddhist perspective, I have to give you a hint: try to treat consciousness as a coupling constant, unify it, and merge the three interpretations."

"Consciousness is treated as a coupling constant and unified? What does it mean? Does it mean to be unified consciousness?"

… Or should we incorporate consciousness?
