Their knowledge is limited, and their thinking can be highly rigid. When they encounter a new book or new knowledge, they inevitably compare it with what they already know. If the two conflict, they'll feel torn, and one of two things may happen: The first is to reject the new book and its author, even attacking them. The second is to doubt and reject themselves, then discard their old books and make room for the n 6Reads—Score—Shelves

    We all know that every story has an initial premise, which is the most fundamental truth of its worldview. One type of story—like the manga *One Piece*—has a closed initial premise regarding its battle system. Later, as the plot progresses, this initial premise contradicts the plot, making it impossible to continue writing. The author can only add new premises to patch the story forward. Another type of story—like *Death Note*—starts with an open premise, which is continuously expanded as the plot unfolds. However, neither of these types of stories represents the truth! Any book that records the truth cannot change its initial premise, because the book of truth describes the true nature of the world. Modifying or adding new premises later would be tantamount to negating the original author (or a god after the author). Therefore, once the initial premise of a book of truth is established, it cannot be modified or expanded—unlike novels or modern science, where new premises can be added during exploration. Thus, some religions, over time, have developed loopholes or flaws in their scriptures. Since the initial premise cannot be modified or new premises added, these religions begin to attack heretics or non-believers. Believers live forever, disbelievers face hell—it's that simple a choice. This demonstrates that its initial premise is incorrect, and the entire book's doctrine is flawed. Buddhist scriptures, as books of truth, have maintained their initial premise throughout; and over time, no serious flaws have been discovered; on the contrary, their correctness has been continuously proven. Therefore, we believe that Buddhist scriptures are a book of truth closer to reality, perhaps even revealing the truth of the universe. Next, we will discuss the three initial premises in Buddhism.

    Heaven and hell reside within our own bodies; we are our own heaven, and we are our own hell. The purpose of studying Buddhism and practicing spiritual cultivation is to live a life of paradise, not to go to the Western Pure Land after death. "The mind is Buddha; Buddha is the awakening of one's own mind. Buddha-nature is awakened nature; it is the ability to awaken oneself and others."
