The four greats and emptiness of Buddhism

Big four

The four major factors in Buddhism refer to the four major material factors of "earth, water, fire and wind". the four concepts are not invented by Buddhism. They are the result of human's initial exploration of the universe. There are almost the same trends in the history of Philosophy in the East and the West. For example, the five elements of "water, fire, gold, wood and earth" recorded in Chinese sutras, and the five natural factors of "earth, water, wind, fire and space" in the Indian ancient Vedas, Ancient Greek philosopher empidocris also proposed that "gas, water, earth and fire" are the four unchangeable elements in the universe. In a word, no matter the five elements, the five great or the four great, they all refer to the basic elements of the physical world. If they are limited to this and stuck here, then the result of development is materialism, so these ideas are also the pioneers of materialism. there are also differences between Hinayana and Mahayana in terms of the four great principles of Buddhism. Generally speaking, the four major factors in Hinayana Buddhism refer to the basic causes of material phenomena, which are called the four major categories. It means that earth, water, fire and wind are the seeds of all material phenomena. All physical phenomena are due to the completion of the four major harmonies. The four major harmonies Will flourish and the four major contradictions will be destroyed. This is true of physical phenomena, and the same is true of physiological phenomena Therefore, Buddhists call patients' illness "four major violations". The purpose of observing the four kinds of Mahayana Buddhism is to make people look down on us, the color body formed by the four false combinations. We do not take the color body as the real self, and we do not create all kinds of life and death for the sake of taking the color body as me. Once we look down on us, we will enter the nirvana realm of Mahayana and no longer reincarnate life and death. in Mahayana Buddhism, the four major elements are not the fundamental elements, but the phenomena of physical state. They are false, unreal and unreal. For the formation of images, they only add to the upper edge rather than the fundamental law. Although they also recognize the four major elements as the seeds of images, they do not think that the four major elements are the true appearance of images.

are void

Buddhism's saying that "all four are empty" is to follow India's inherent ideas and further deepen and Buddhism, because the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind are cosmophysical. For example, mountains and land belong to big earth, oceans and rivers belong to big water, hot sunlight belongs to big fire, and air flow in space belongs to big wind. If we turn them into human physiology, for example, hair, bone and flesh belong to the earth, blood secretion belongs to the water, body temperature belongs to the fire, breathing belongs to the wind; from the four physical properties, hardness belongs to the earth, moisture belongs to the water, warmth belongs to the fire, flow belongs to the wind. But no matter how to analyze the four, the four belong to the material world and can not summarize the spiritual world. Therefore, materialism regards the four as the origin of the universe, while Buddhism does not agree with this view. Hinayana Buddhism, because it only empties me but not Dharma, thinks that Dharma, the four minimal qualities, is real though it looks down on things. However, Hinayana Buddhism is not materialism, but pluralism, because the emptiness of Buddhism not only empties the four great, but also empties the five great, which is only one of the five great. What is also called five Yun? The first one belongs to the material world, the last four belong to the spiritual world, and the fourth one is the color implication. The five Yun is the law of life and death within the three realms. Only by removing the five Yun can we go beyond the life and death of the three realms. At the same time, the proposal of the five connotations proves that Buddhism does not only talk about the emptiness of the four, but further talks about the emptiness of the five connotations. Especially important, Buddhism does not focus on the four main points, but on the three main points of knowledge. The three main points of reception, thinking and action are also the foil of knowledge, which are used to show the wide and great functions of the spiritual world. Therefore, Buddhism is not only a materialist, but an epistemologist.
