Is there really a devil in the world, Zhihu?

Yes! Ghosts and gods are everywhere in the sky and underground. In the twentieth volume of the Buddhist sutra Long Agama, the Buddha himself said, "There are ghosts and gods in every four streets and lanes, between the city of Turkut and the mound." In other words, all the houses and houses where people live have ghosts and gods, and there is no free place, but ghosts and gods are different from our energy, time and space, energy and state, and we human beings can't see them because of many obstacles and karma. Imagine yourself with a goldfish in a glass jar. You may see it, but you won't be together unless you break the glass jar.

So, these things are real, but not unusual! It's not superstition. You can understand it as: "The so-called' ghosts and gods' are the general names of the life forms at the same level that are higher than their own forms and don't know much about them."

Your question is like asking: Is there only life on earth in the universe? The answer must be "impossible"? There must be life on other planets. According to scientists' exploration and reasoning, there are at least 654.38+billion planets in the Milky Way. Therefore, it is not surprising that ghosts and gods are just living beings one level lower (ghosts) or one level higher (gods) than us. For example, for ants, people are their gods, aren't they? Ants can't see clearly what God looks like, but they know that God's voice is like thunder, and a bubble of urine can destroy the whole ant world, and they hear grandpa say that God's life is infinite (ants live for 5 years, but you live for at least 75 years, that is, the 25th generation of ants haven't seen your life end. For ants, isn't that "eternal life"? ), so the ants all agree that you are their "god"; On the other hand, bacteria and viruses are destroying. Ants know they exist, but they can't see or touch them, but they can feel them. So the ants agreed that they were "ghosts". Ants live in this world with ghosts and gods, so they have always been in awe and have faith. How similar this is to the human world, don't you think?
