Inner and Outer Meanings of Buddhism

<p>Buddha’s concept of no self is correct and superior to the old Hindu concept of a permanent eternal and unchanging self. God freedom of will immortality and the law of karma (moral retribution) are the things-in-themselves. These things-in-themselves belong to the transcendent realm of noumena. These things are not governed by the causal chain of the world of senses.</p><p>The outer meanings of many concepts of Buddhism are different from their inner meanings.</p><p>Mind is a physical thing like mercury and human body is like a glass tube containing mercury. Mind is active as well as passive.</p><p>Existence is prior to essence.</p><p>There is no transcendent aesthetic. There is only a phenomenal aesthetic.</p><p>The sense of space is created by the inverse square law.</p><p>The light of the absolute goes on decreasing as we move from a mother to the family from the family to the society and from the society to the state.</p><p>According to the inner meanings the twelve links of the dependent origination are actually made of three separate and independent chains. </p><p>Nirvana and many other concepts of Buddhism are unknowable and inconceivable.</p><p>An attempt has been made to make the inconceivable concepts as conceivable.</p>
