The Center of Small World: Mount Sumeru (Meru)

Authors: Yuwen Zhuang
Comments: 15 Pages. Only contains Chinese version.

Through the modern interpretation of the Sutras and the benefit from modern science, we are surprised to find that the Sutras have accurate modern scientific description of the phenomena of polar day and polar night on the Earth, tropic of Cancer, lunar phase changes, the causes of lunar eclipses and so on. The Buddha’s extremely precise numerical descriptions of the layered structure, layer height, and layer extent of the Earth’s Ionosphere are far beyond our imagination, and there is an incredible era transcendence which is extremely shocking. Key words: Polar day and Polar night, Tropic of Cancer, lunar phases, lunar eclipse, the layered structure of the Earth’s Ionosphere, Era transcendence, extremely shocking

Where is Mount Sumeru (Meru)?

Authors: Yuwen Zhuang
Comments: 17 Pages. Only contains Chinese version.

This paper gives a solution to the specific location of “Mount Sumeru(Meru)” in thousands of years of Buddhist myths and legends, which conforms to the internal description logic of sutras (sutras that can verify each other). First of all, different from the theravada Buddhism’s traditional view that “Mount Sumeru(Meru)” is located in the Himalayas for thousands of years, this paper comprehensively proves that the central location of “Mount Sumeru(Meru)” is related to the earth’s south magnetic pole. Based on this, we also determined the specific location of the legendary “Four continents”. Secondly, this paper finds that there is a unique phenomenon of “one body multiple sides” in the description of sutras, that is, there exist multiple world representations of the same thing. Finally, thanks to modern scientific research, we are surprised to find that the Buddha’s knowledge of the heat distribution in the atmosphere near the earth’s south magnetic pole and the existence of local high temperatures in the atmosphere is far beyond our imagination and there is an incredible era transcendence which is amazing. Key words: Mount Sumeru(Meru)，Four continents，one body multiple sides (Multiworld representations), Era transcendence
