A Three-Body Cosmos

Do you live in the scientific universe where you are made of energy, i.e., numerical values, with non-existent atomic particles, and mysterious “dark” materials but no consciousness?

To understand the scope and limits of science, first understand the scope and limits of human knowledge.

Or do you live in Buddha’s mental three-body cosmos where humans not only can have consciousness, problems such as the Cosmological Constant Problem can be solved, the Mind-Body Problem disappears, and the the Mystery of Consciousness is longer mysterious, along with many hard-to-solve scientific problems?

To understand the uniqueness of Buddha’s teachings, first understand the power of direct perception.

The genius of Dr. Max Planck, a 1918 Nobel Laureate of Physics and the originator of quantum mechanics, is that, without the ability to perceive the nature of reality directly, he not only understood the fundamental nature of consciousness but that humans are part of the mystery that they want to solve, as he said, “I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness,“ and “we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.“  Of the three bodies in Buddha’s cosmos, Dr. Planck only missed the Ultimate Reality. But, then, Buddha alone can directly perceive that what expands the cosmos is not dark energy, but the quiescent mentality, Citta.
