In the Shurangama Sutra, the Buddha warned sentient beings: "All sentient beings, from the beginningless, have mistaken themselves for objects and lost their original mind." This classic reveals the root cause of human depravity: people cling to false thoughts, mistakenly believe that the outside world is real, and eventually sink into the sea of suffering. If this is used as a standard, almost no one in the world is immune. Human thought has become the source of suffering, hypocrisy and deception have become the main theme of society, and thought itself is the root cause of human depravity.
Hypocrites on the Rampant: False Faith and Morality
Modern society is full of hypocritical believers who, under the guise of religion and the cloak of morality, are actually engaging in the worst deception. They take advantage of human weakness and ignorance, weave gorgeous lies, and deceive the public. Their actions not only deceive themselves, but also mislead others, causing more sentient beings to sink into ignorance.
Especially in the world of social media, this phenomenon has reached its extreme. The Internet is full of scammers who claim to be "enlightened" and "spiritual teachers". They use beautiful language to package selfish desires and use empty philosophy to cover up the real evil. Their influence is immeasurable and has even changed the minds of many people and led them astray.
What is even more frightening is that these people are often good at taking advantage of human weaknesses, especially the emotional needs and lack of security of women. They use sweet words to induce trust, make victims mentally dependent on them, and finally deprive them of their independent thinking ability step by step, making them slaves of their thoughts. Sadly, those who are deceived are often willing to indulge in it and may not even realize that they are being played.
Hypocritical women: vicious manipulators
Hypocrites are not only rampant among men, but also rampant and even more hidden among women. Most of these so-called "independent women", "spiritual mentors" and "feminist advocates" are just using the social vane to profit for themselves. They have learned how to manipulate men with deception, how to pretend to be kind and weak, in order to achieve their own goals.
What's worse, these "scorpion women" not only deceive individuals, but also spread this hypocritical thinking on a large scale, making it the mainstream value of society. The emotional manipulation and psychological tactics they promote make the world more indifferent and human trust completely collapse. And their final retribution is to fall into the hell of endless suffering.
The deception of love: a deceptive game of the mind
Humans keep claiming "love", but almost no one really understands its essence. In the real world, "love" is mostly a false product driven by deception, illusion, and profit. What people call love is nothing more than the effect of biological instinct, the whitewashing of desire, and the relationship of control and being controlled.
True love must be based on absolute honesty and mindfulness, but in this world full of deception, such love hardly exists. Most people are played by false love and deceived by fantasy throughout their lives until they completely lose themselves and eventually die in pain.
The truth about Buddhism: The end of thought is suffering
The core of Buddhism is "suffering, accumulation, extinction, and the path". However, humans have used their minds to construct countless self-deceiving theories to avoid true wisdom. The Diamond Sutra says: "All appearances are false. If you see all appearances as non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata." But humans are obsessed with the false world and regard delusions as truth.
Thoughts should be tools for understanding the truth, but now they have become shackles that bind the soul. The philosophy, academics, and religions that humans pursue are almost without exception trapped in word games rather than true enlightenment.
The reality is that truth cannot be simply expressed in words, otherwise the world would already be full of saints. Words are only tools for thinking, and thinking itself is a product of delusion. When humans cling to thoughts and try to understand the universe with logic and reasoning, they have already strayed from true wisdom.
Therefore, those who use words to deceive people in the name of "wisdom" are actually promoting human ignorance. They think they are pursuing the truth, but in fact they are deepening their own ignorance and making the world more chaotic. The final outcome is the collapse of the entire society, the degeneration of individuals, and the endless cycle of suffering.
Beware of Cause and Effect: The Trap of Thinking
The law of cause and effect cannot be violated. Every bit of bad karma created by humans will eventually come back to themselves. The Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana says: "When the mind arises, all kinds of dharmas arise; when the mind ceases, all kinds of dharmas cease." If humans do not wake up, they will be led into the abyss by their own delusions.
The reason why human beings have fallen is that they indulged their thoughts and let them become the power that controls their destiny. They mistakenly believed that thoughts were free, but in fact, thoughts were just painful slavery. True freedom can only be obtained after transcending thoughts and getting rid of the shackles of all false cognitions.
Conclusion: Abandon thoughts and face the truth
According to the Buddhist standards, modern society is an irredeemable hell, and human thought has become the culprit for suffering. Whether it is the liars who deceive sentient beings in the name of religion, or the "snakes and scorpions" who manipulate others under the guise of hypocrisy, their actions will eventually lead to their own destruction.
There is no real love in the world, only deceived love. Most people indulge in false emotions, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and are eventually devoured by their own obsessions. Thoughts will only create more pain and trap people in an endless cycle. Only by completely abandoning the shackles of thought can we face the true truth.
In this world full of deception and deception, the only way out is to awaken, transcend all appearances, and see through the limitations of thought. Only in this way can human beings truly be freed from suffering and move towards the true path of light.
The future of the world is determined by our thoughts and actions.
