A COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE EXPLORING A BROAD SPECTRUM OF LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE

No God, no Brahma can be found, No mater of this wheel of life, Just bare phenomena roll Dependent on conditions all!Visuddhimagga

Unlike an animal, man requires more than mere physical comfort and needs help to cope with his frustration and miseries arising from his daily experience. We seem to have an instinctive urgent to seek the Truth, but somehow lack the capacity to find it. The dilemma of trying to set up an absolute standard is merely one of the many puzzles that have harassed mankind since the dawn of civilization. Man’s search for Truth has been a never-ending obsession. The Ultimate Theory of The Universe is a bridge between modern science and Buddhism. The author had tried to use Buddhism as a compass for the people of the 21st century. It seeks to answer major questions about Buddhism relation to modern science.

ARRANGED INTO THIRTEEN COMPREHENSIVE SECTIONS

It isn’t fair to say that despite all the scientific progress achieved and the advantages conferred on man, science leaves the inner world basically unchanged. It has only heightened man’s feeling of dependence and insufficiency, and has barely scratched the surface of man’s inner world. Modern scientists are on the verge of crises for new guidance for their research in the 21st century because of new technologies, which have shed light on new discoveries that contradict with the Standard Model and the Big Bang theory.

In addition to its failure to bring security to mankind, science has also made everyone feel even more insecure by threatening the world with the possibility of wholesale destruction. On the other hand, it is not difficult to understand that many of the views held in many religions regarding the cosmos and life are just conventional thoughts of which have long been superseded. It is a general truth to say that religions have greatly contributed to human development and progress. They have laid down value and standards and formulated principles to guide human life. But, for all the good they have done, religions can no longer survive in the modern scientific age if the followers insist on imprisoning truth into set forms and dogmas, on encouraging ceremonies and practices which have been depleted of their original meaning.

Technology has pushed us to the brink of advancement. But the new discoveries and achievements in science are contradicting to the accepted classic theories of today. This conflict calls for a new platform of alignment to guide the world to a brighter future. Pram Nguyen’s The Ultimate Theory of the Universe is a book that aims to answer that call, breaking ground to better, more advanced research in science.

Modern scientists are in a crisis, needing new guidance for their research in the 21st century because of new technologies, which have shed light on new discoveries that contradict with the Standard Model and the Big Bang theory. The Ultimate Theory of the Universe not only explains the structure of the cosmos, but also the spiritual fact that the 20th century science has never studied in depth, making this book a complete essential medium of information. This book may be used as guidance for both scientists and ordinary people to live a meaningful life.

Section 1: Discuss the background and the general characteristics of modern science.

Section 2: Provides an introduction to four kinds of knowledge, six patterns of human though, as well as “Double Standard Truth”. Based on these ways of thinking, human beings are unable to experience the whole universe. What is missing in the Standard Model of the 20th century science?

Section 3: Discusses the limitation of science. Can science make human beings free from suffering and to bring them to eternal happiness which goes beyond worldly material pleasure? If it can, why do violent acts and immoral practices bound in the countries which are super advanced in science? Is science able to provide a meaningful purpose of life?

Sections 4: In the light of modern scientific discoveries, many basic religious concepts are crumbling under the pressure of modern science and are no longer acceptable to the intellectual and well-informed person. Man needs religious, but not for the reason of giving him a dream for his next life or providing him with some dogmatic ideas to follow in such a way that he surrenders his human intelligence and become a nuisance to his follow beings. Is Buddhism able to meet all the requirements of a rational religion that suit the needs of the future world?

Sections 5: Introduces the Ultimate Source of Mind (The Ultimate Reality): The one eternal principle of the universe, which is the serenity of Mind, is reflected in the cosmos, its presence charges everything with spiritual significance, its mysteries can beheld everywhere, and by means of any object one may generate all virtues and fathom the secret of entire universe.

Section 6: Provide the State of Primordial Darkness (Ignorance), Illusion, Defilements, and Cycle of Birth and Death, the nature of all things, as well as the Supreme Law in Nature or the Cosmic Law of Cause and Effect; how does it work? Moreover, what is the cause of the inequality that exists among mankind and how do we account for the unevenness in this ill-balance world? What causes all living beings subject to transmigration through various worlds? There are some who do not believe in heavens or hells; however, these realms do exist, it is just that the human eyes cannot see or know about them. Sentient beings are forever revolving in the cycle of birth and death: in one realm after another, like a spinning wheel, with neither beginning nor end. Rebirth in the heaven or human realms is difficult and rare, while descent into the realms hells, hungry ghosts, animals and demons is easy and common.

Section 7: Rebirth or becoming again and again is a natural occurrence not created by any particular religion or god. Belief in rebirth or disbelief does not make a difference to the process of rebirth or avoiding rebirth. Rebirth takes place as long as craving for existence and craving for sensual pleasure or attachment exists in the consciousness. Those strong mental forces prevail in each and every living being in the universe. Those who cannot reduce their craving and attachment must be prepared to face all unsatisfactory and uncertain situations associated with rebirth and becoming again and again. The Buddhist doctrine of rebirth should be differentiated from the teachings of transmigration and reincarnation of other religions, because there is “no-soul” involved in the rebirth process. Can we establish a better world? What are the misconceptions regarding the Cosmic Law of Cause and Effect?

Section 8: Tries to answer the following question in light of Buddhism: Can we find the guidance for the searches of cosmology? What is space and time? What caused the gigantic explosion/Big Bang? What was here before the gigantic explosion? How did the universe come into being? What is subject to original is subject to destruction, if there is a death of what is born then when shall be the next gigantic explosion? What will it be like? What is the actual age of our earth? How did our earth form? When did human beings appear on our earth? Are there other living beings in space? If yes, who are they? Where are they? Where is the gravitational center of our solar system? How did gravitation force, and magnetic field form? Why should we not observe anything in the Northern direction at all? What causes wars, political events, and disasters? What are Pure Materials? What are the characteristics of the Pure Material? Will all physical laws which scientists have been discovering apply everywhere in the universe? How does modern science support the earliest finding of Buddhism from biology, psychology, physics, cosmology, etc.?

Section 9: Discusses how all things and sentient beings come into beings. Covers three vital laws of the universe: a/ Continuity of the universe, b/ Continuity of living beings, c/ Continuity of karmic retribution.

Section 10: Highlights on the nature of what we called a body and the worldly happiness. Why is an understanding of life important to us? Should we be afraid of difficulties and problems in life? What is real happiness? What are the misconceptions about real happiness? Each philosopher relying on his own text book from which he draws his learning, sins against the truth, because truth is not what he imagines it to be. Can attain real happiness?

Section 11: Introduces the State of Radiant Perfection Enlightenment, Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Great Compassion. Perfection enlightenment is a state of realization in which the most subtle traces of Ignorance about the nature of reality do no longer exist; enlightenment also called “the embodiment of the Trikayas”. This is a state of real happiness.

Section 12: Covers the major universal vows and wishes of all Bodhisattvas, ones who aspire to attainment of Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings. Perfect Enlightenment can be attained if and only if compassion comes to unite with wisdom. The Original Vows of the Bodhisattvas and Buddha’s are the miraculous forces residing in the whole universe from the beginningless time to the endless time, so that these forces always influence all living beings, because Bodhisattvas and Buddha’s are never tired of enlightening sentient beings and awakening pure faith in them.

Section 13: Discusses the potentialities of all sentient beings. All sentient beings are innate Buddha; but they have been bound by defilements of greed, hatred and Ignorance. If sentient beings can see things as they really are (Shunyata), then the land of defilements immediately change back to the immutable Pure Land. “I am, in my essential being, of diamond nature”.

Section 14 (new): Pram Nguyen wrote The Ultimate Theory of the Universe more than thirteen years ago, but the technology was not available to prove his theory, that is why he has waited until recent years and finally made a decision to bring this theory to light. The Ultimate Theory of the Universe is an amazing landmark in twenty-first-century science. Trailblazing and spirited, this book lays out a clear platform that sets the mark for a new era in history of boldly going where no man has gone before.

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS BOOK?

What you do not know and do not see can hurt you not only in this precious life, but also the life after death1 The trials for murder, robbery, rape and other violent crimes in our society derive in part from persons with too much leisure time. With mind and body over-satisfied, they are subject to mental and lively stimulations. They are not at peace either sitting or standing; they create problems where there are none, which lead to violent event. As an example, at our present time, many people throughout the world lead self-indulgent lives, prone to hard liquor, drugs, unauthorized sex, every kind of indulgence, attracted to danger and cruelty. They are not physical and mentally at peace with themselves and, not unlike a raging fire, engage in wrongful acts, leading to inevitable suffering. This is the suffering of the five raging aggregates. Buddhist master once said:
Shortly sentient beings escape one womb, they enter another, Seeing this, Buddhist saints are unquestionably moved to such compassion! The illusory body is really full of filth, Immediately realizing from it, sentient beings return to their Original Nature!

All of us, from the time without beginning, have disregarded our own Selves by clinging to external objects, thereby missing our fundamental Minds. Thus, we are being turned around by object. Due to the karmic tendencies and difference of awareness, sentient beings experience the universe in different ways. As soon as we wipe out Ignorance which screens our Perfect Wisdom we completely realize the absolute as proclaimed by the Buddha Shakyamuni (Perfect Enlightened One), which is neither existing nor non-existing because it is absolute and beyond all dualities, relatives and contraries.

Although The Ultimate Theory of The Universe will be of great benefit to those with little or no experience about Mind (the Ultimate Truth), life and the universe, it also contains information of value to:

Scholars, Cosmologists, Astronomers, Physicists, Government Officials, Professors, Students, Buddhist laypersons, Buddhist monks, Libraries, and Buddhist Centers.
