When the heaven and earth first opened, everything had spirit. There is a lamp hanging in the heart of each person, called the "natal lamp" - it is neither gold nor jade, but is transformed by the soul. The light is self-generating and reflects each other. At that time, there were no lamps of reincarnation and no one burning the lamps. The light flowed naturally among all living beings like flowing water. When a person dies and the lamp is extinguished, the light disperses into the heaven and earth, nourishing the vegetation, mountains and rivers. When new life is born, it gathers into a new lamp.
That was the era before the "Military Tribulation", which was known as the "Ming Dynasty" in history.
[Lightless Tribulation·The First Reincarnation Lamp]
About three thousand years ago, a vision came from the sky, and the sun and the moon were dimmed together, which lasted for seven or forty-nine days. The lights in the hearts of all living beings are extinguished one by one, and the world falls into a "lightless catastrophe". There is great fear in the darkness, people eat each other, countries attack each other, and light becomes the scarcest resource.
At this time, the first "Length Burner" appeared - the ancestor of the Xiao family. He discovered that if everyone's lamps were forcibly extracted and gathered into one, it could light up the world. This is the origin of the reincarnation lamp.
The Xiao family saved the world with the reincarnation lamp and was revered as the "Lantern Saint Clan" and established the Liang Dynasty. But the price is cruel: the lamp of reincarnation needs to be constantly "added with oil", and oil is the natal lamp of all living beings.
[The truth about the reincarnation lamp·How to plunder]
The samsara lamp does not create light, but transfers light.
Three Thousand Years in Daliang, on the surface it is a change of dynasties, but in fact it is a dispute between the "lantern-burning people" and the "lantern-taking people" of the reincarnation lamp.
