Gautama Buddha, the famous reality hacker

釋迦牟尼應當是比Neo更有名的實存骇客(reality hacker). 當他當頭遇上生,老,病,死這四項生命設計本質的缺陷(the fundamental bugs of the system called Life), 他開始找尋基進的解答。在嘗試过當年的傳統修行(四禪八定及苦行)後，他悟出5藴和12因緣的業力蓝圖 (system diagram)。The rest , was history. 2000年後雖然他的解答需要與時倶進，但他的精神萬古常新。

佛陀當時的两項駭客精神: (1) 實验求解(test-driven) (2) repeatable,  verifiable result (四果可証, 此生可期) 後來被歷史顛覆流失，大乘佛教成了三大阿僧劫的"我願無窮" 及"等待果(彌)陀"。也許未來佛彌勒，他的浄土, 是數位性的，因為宇宙是數位的。一切只是訊息與律動，只是色與空的一場对話。

"I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end of craving." (Buddha)
