exorcist_1699 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Regarding the argument that forgetting time gives rise to physical eternity, I think it is partly true for Buddhism already tells that we should forget three kinds of mind time-related : the mind of the past (過去心) which makes us attach to previous annoyance, the mind of the present (現在心) , which occupies us , and the mind of the future (未來心) which makes us always worry about what will happen to us . However, it is not only time, but all those Kantian pure categories , which make our sense and reasoning possible , that all have to be forgotten so that physical eternity and forever youth , can be attained . And, it is only after having reached that status can pre-heavenly be initialized ; nothing ,especially not those scientific stuff , besides pre-heavenly qi, can make physical eternity possible .
