As all is being the same microscopic powder mentioned in the
Diamond Sutra, probably attested in the article on God particle,
what is there seriously to hold firmly besides loving and caring
one another.
Diamond Sutra
The lord Buddha resumed:
"Subhuti, if any good person, either man or woman, were to take
3,000 galaxies and grind them into microscopic powder and blow it
into space, what do you think, would this powder have any
individual existence?"
"Subhuti replied, "Yes, lord, as a microscopic powder blown into
space, it might be said to have a relative existence, but as you
use words, it has no existence. The words are used only as a figure
of speech. Otherwise the words would imply a belief in the
existence of matter as an independent and self-existent thing,
which it is not."
"Furthermore, when the Most Honored One refers to the '3,000
galaxies,' he could only do so as a figure of speech. Why? Because
if the 3,000 galaxies really existed, their only reality would
consist in their cosmic unity. Whether as microscopic powder or as
galaxies, what does it matter? Only in the sense of the cosmic
unity of ultimate being can the Buddha rightfully refer to it."
The lord Buddha was very pleased with this reply and said:
"Subhuti, although ordinary people have always grasped after an
arbitrary conception of matter and galaxies, the concept has no
true basis; it is an illusion of the mortal mind. Even when it is
referred to as 'cosmic unity' it is unthinkable and unknowable."
