Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the Buddhist cosmology and dialectical materialism, focusing on the philosophical nature of karmic emptiness and aalaya-vijbana (Arya Consciousness), and to examine the challenges posed by the development of quantum mechanics to the traditional dialectical materialist view of matter, and whether Buddhist philosophy can provide a rational explanation. whether Buddhist philosophy can provide a rational explanation. Through conceptual analysis, literature study, logical reasoning and exploratory research, we systematically sort out the Buddhist concept of “emptiness”, the theory of karma and its relationship with materialism, and analyze its impact on traditional philosophical concepts in light of the latest research on the relationship between consciousness and matter in the experiments of quantum mechanics. It is found that “karmic emptiness” can be reasonably explained in the framework of material dialectics, that is, things and phenomena are formed by the aggregation of karmic conditions, neither having fixed entities nor changing with the change of conditions, while “Kṛṣṇa” can be interpreted as the origin of the world, whose The abstract materiality is consistent with the dialectical materialist view of matter, while the concrete form (the “acted dharma”) embodies the diversity and change of matter. In addition, the study reveals that the Buddhist division of the world - ubiquity (the world of subjective illusion), etativity (the world of objective phenomena), and fulfillment (the world of objective essence) - fits to some extent with the epistemology of Marxist philosophy, both of which Both believe that human cognition is limited by the construction of subjective consciousness and that it is difficult to exhaust the nature of the objective world. The study ultimately concludes that the materiality of Kṛṣṇa can serve as the basis for the unity of the world, that “karmic emptiness” embodies the temporal and dependent nature of material forms, and that the cosmology of Buddhism and the epistemology of dialectical materialism can, to a certain extent, mirror each other and together promote a deeper understanding of the nature of the world.
