【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】What is conviction? 什么叫胜解？

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- What is conviction?

What is conviction? It is that for this principle,you develop a correct and certain understanding. No matter what others say, you will never waver. This is called conviction.

This is a state of mind. For this type of state of mind,you can have a conviction of virtue, but also a conviction of non virtue. There are many people in this world [who have convictions]. There are many in this world, let's take scientists for example. Scientists have strong views.They have their reasons for that. It is because for what they understand, it is not entirely dependent on what has been told by others. Also when one tells you the theories, he understands it thoroughly. Not only does he thoroughly understand it, through experiments, he demonstrates the theory's reliability. Thus at this time, his belief is firm and unshakable.

So then would we say then that science is correct? In the relative states, yes. Because in his research, the scope of his research is confined to a certain limit. Thus within the scope of what science experiments have observed, the information is correct. But does it remain true beyond the scope? Sorry, because it has not been observed. The real shortcoming of science is right here.

业果 : 什么叫胜解？

什么叫胜解呢？就是你对这个道理，产生了决定正确的认识，不管他说什么，绝不动摇，这个叫胜解。

这是个心理状态，这个心理状态对善法也有胜解，对恶法也有胜解的。世间也有很多人喔，世间也有很多人，譬如说科学家，科学家他这种见解很强的，这个有他的道理。因为他认识的那个事情，都不仅仅说人家告诉他，而且他告诉他的这个理论，他了解得很透彻，不但理论很透彻，经过实验，验证这个理论的确实性，所以那个时候，他坚定不移的信心。

那我们说起来，那这样科学对了吗？对相对的状态当中，对的，因为他研究的时候，所研究的范围，是在他那个范围之内。所以科学所观察的那个范围之内，对的。超过这个范围对不对？对不起，他没有观察到，科学之真正缺点在这里。
