The Difference Between Great Hand Seal Culture and General Religious

Xuemo

A doctor student at TongJi University, asked: Mr. XueMo, I am an engineering students. I have several questions, after I listened to your lecture of Great Hand Seal: First, What is the difference, by comparisons with Taoism and Buddhism? In my opinion, Great Hand Seal has no much difference with Taoism and also, I found some thought of Buddhism in it. How can be Great Hand Seal existed individually and distinctively? Second, every culture has a main body of creation. So who is the main body for creation of Great Hand Seal? The working people or culture level people? Third, what is the lineage of Great Hand Seal?

There is a big question, there is a problem within western culture itself. If western culture is perfectly developed, it is not likely to be collapsed so fast, after lashing from Modern market culture. What is the cause of its collapse? Besides, I can see, GHS is not a just a certain culture lineage, but with all of the Chinese traditional culture and western culture. So how does this culture survive, against lashing from west aggressive culture? How does it be developed? This is also the question which all of our Chinese traditional culture faces right now? Thank you.

●Xeumo: What is the main difference between Buddhism and Taoism? First of all, to surpass and to break down the obsessions is what Buddhism focus on more. In our opinions, in Taoism, they still obsess with something. In Buddhism, if there is a thing which we still obsess with, there is no release and freedom definitely. In Buddhism, we attach great importance to breaking the obsession. Furthermore, what is the difference between Great Hand Seal and typical Buddhism? Buddhism and Taoism mostly is religion. Generally there are 4 elements for religion: religious philosophy, religious organization, religious experience, and religious ceremony. They can form a religion with all of these 4 elements. But GHS is different. GHS culture is a view of world and a way of living. It is kind of life state and belief, when you live in this world. It is very close to human’s life. It may not have a distinctive religious organization, experience, etc. It just tells you have a very clear and free life, with it. GHS is to surpass the typical religion. In Christianity, Islamism and some other Indian religions, you can see it reflected too. But all of above religion, they still need a final transcendence. What is the highest state of Great Hand Seal? In the end, it doesn’t even need the name and appearance of itself. We think there is sense for a culture’ existence, only when it nourishes the soul of human. Otherwise, it needs to be removed, when it becomes chains to our mind, including Great Hand Seal culture itself.

大手印文化与一般宗教的区别

雪漠

◎同济大学某博士生问:雪漠先生好!我是工科学生。今天我听了您讲的大手印文化之后,有了几个疑问:第一,这个大手印文化与道教文化、佛教文化有什么区别?我感觉它与道家文化没什么区别,也有佛教文化在里面。请问,大手印文化怎样独立于道教文化与佛教文化而存在呢?第二,一个文化必有创造它的主体,大手印文化的创造主体是什么呢?是西部的劳动人民还是它的文化层?第三个问题,大手印文化的传承是什么?

还有一个很大的问题是,西部文化本身就是有问题的。如果西部文化是一个非常完备的文化,那么,它不太可能在受到现代市场文化的冲击后,那么迅速地崩溃。请问它崩溃的原因是什么?此外,我能从大手印文化里感受到它不单单是一个文化传承的问题,而是牵扯到了整个的中国传统文化、西部文化。请问,在西方强势文化的冲击下,怎样生存下去?怎样发展的问题?这也是整个中国传统文化正在面临的问题。谢谢!

●雪漠:佛教文化和道教文化的最大区别在什么地方呢?就是佛教文化更注重超越、破除执著,这是第一点。道教文化在我们的眼中它仍然在执著某种东西。而佛教文化认为只要有执著必然没有解脱、必然没有自由。佛教文化中间非常注重要破除好多执著。那么,大手印文化与佛教文化的区别在什么地方呢?首先,佛、道文化更依托一种宗教。一般宗教要具备宗教的四个要素:宗教哲学、宗教组织、宗教体验、宗教礼仪。当这四个要素具足的时候,它们才可能构成宗教。大手印文化不是。大手印文化它是一种世界观,它是一种生存方式,它是人活着时的某种状态和理念。它和人的生命贴得非常近。它不一定有非常明显的宗教组织、体验这一类的东西。它只是告诉人们,人活着的时候,应该有怎样一种活法。这种活法是人本该有的一种活法。只有这样活着,人才能得到清凉和自由。大手印文化是超越宗教的。可能在西方的基督教、伊斯兰教,还有印度的好多宗教中间,都含有大手印文化的影子。但它们缺的是最后的超越。大手印境界高到什么地步?它最后连“大手印文化”的这个名相也不要了。它认为,当文化成为人的灵魂滋养时才有意义,当它成为心灵的枷锁时,必须要把它扫除,这包括大手印文化本身。
