The Illusion of Dome Films

The six consciousnesses perceive the six internal dusts within the black box, considering the various dust realms to be incredibly tangible, three-dimensional, and thus appearing very real, utterly unaware of their illusory and insubstantial nature. It is like sitting in a planetarium theater watching a dome screen movie, where everything feels intensely real: seeing an airplane on the screen as if it is about to fly overhead, seeing a sharp knife as if it is about to pierce one's heart, seeing a bullet as if it is about to fly toward one's forehead, seeing a club as if it is about to strike one's body.

In summary, no matter what is seen, it feels exceptionally real, as if one is physically present in the scene, and this naturally includes the sounds heard as well. However, when we apply reason, we know that nothing within the screen exists in reality; the screen contains no actual objects, merely a synthesis of modern technological information. It deceives our senses, giving rise to various mental states and sensations, evoking feelings of excitement and thrill, as well as fear and alarm.

The realm of the six dusts we perceive is the same. The black box is like the planetarium theater, with the six consciousnesses seated inside, observing the six dust realms within the black box. They perceive all realms as exceptionally real—so tangible, three-dimensional, and vivid that one cannot help but be captivated or utterly repulsed. One truly feels immersed, situated within various realms, inseparable from them. In reality, these realms are identical to the scenes in the dome screen movie: all are virtual constructs, mere combinations of signals, with none of it truly existing.
