Everything Stems from Concepts
When you say to your child: “Get me a glass of water from the table,” in order to act, they need to understand the concepts of glass, table, water, the act of getting, and father.
- If they fully grasp these concepts, the action happens swiftly.
- If they lack the necessary concepts, even a simple task becomes difficult.
Concepts Determine Awareness
We define suffering as darkness because humans lack the concept of light, which is joy and peace.
Suffering will always exist unless one:
- Understands the concept of joy and peace
- Realizes the nature of emptiness
- Grasps the concept of truth
Only then can the darkness of suffering fade away.
Humans Have No Real Problems, Only a Lack of Concepts
- Why do people resent us? Because they lack the concept of gratitude.
- Why do people harbor anger? Because they lack the concept of compassion.
- Why are some people happy? Because they have the concept of joy.
- Why do problems arise? Because people lack the concept of wisdom.
All Actions Stem from Concepts
Every problem in life arises from what people have a concept of—their actions and results follow accordingly.
Lack of concepts leads to a lack of information.
Without information, there is no energy.
Without energy, matter cannot manifest.
Light and Darkness
- Without light, darkness appears.
- Life is always in darkness until one lights up their own path.
The Core Issue
Humans inherently have no problems; they only lack concepts.
Without information and concepts, there is no belief, no energy, and thus, matter cannot manifest.
