Advanced Class IV for I Ching (易經高班IV)–Lecture 4

Minda and I attended Prof. Pang’s (彭泓基教授) advanced class IV for I Ching (易經高班 IV) (6A class) the 4^th lecture which was held on 14^th Dec 2024. Lecture 4 continued to discuss I Ching and Buddhism (易經與佛教). 

In the beginning, Prof. Pang reviewed the foundation of Buddhism theory on Four Noble Truths (四聖諦: 苦、集、滅、道). 

Then he used the diagram to explain “Dependent Origination and Emptiness, Causal Cycle” (緣起性空, 因果循環). When you observed the result, that must have the cause. 

“Dependent Origination and Kong, Causal Cycle” (緣起性空, 因果循環) is the core concept of Buddhism. “Kong” (空) is not translated as “Emptiness”. It has no solid body but nature.

We all focused on Prof. Pang’s lecture.

After that he introduced the “Madhyamaka” (中觀論) that included Yin and Yang Concept. Ignorant beings are obsessed with opposition (無明眾生執著於對立).

He explained the middle way of resolving the opposition by increasing the dimensions, and using advertisement strategy as example.

A summary of Buddhist theory was mentioned and we found it to be very systematic.

And then the relationship between I Ching and Buddhism were introduced.

Prof. Pang employed “Picture of five monarchs and ministers” (五位君臣圖) to demonstrate the integration between I Ching and Buddhism.

Finally, Eight Characters for Destiny (八字命理) and its reasoning logic were reviewed.

The summary of Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Directions of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches (天幹地支的陰陽五行與方向) and Ten Gods (十神) were showed in one diagram.

Lastly, Prof. Pang demonstrated how to explain Eight Characters for Destiny (八字命理).

Different positions would be affected by different force that indicated your characters. After the lecture, we had lunch together again.
