Why do humans exist?

Why do humans exist?
If I have bad memories in the past that I want to forget them, or if there are bad days, I wonder why the Earth was formed and humans are there.

Wouldn't it be this painful if humans didn't exist? It just makes me think about it.

I go to school saying something every day, and I think about it a lot at school too.
Recently, I've only been thinking about that and haven't been able to concentrate much on class, so I want you to tell me.

Also, I'm really curious when there are times when my very close friends are sneaking around.
I wonder what they're talking about, and if they speak ill of myself, what should I do.
They have a good friend relationship and are very trusting.
Is that a part of the equation?

I have a past I want to forget.
If I could, I'd like to start over.
The wounds left in my heart don't heal at all.
Since little by little is fine, isn't it possible for the wound to heal?

I have no idea what I'm living now, and I have no idea why I exist.
I want you to tell me something.

Humans are born crying

Hi, thank you for your question.

You have a past you'd like to forget.
And I don't think you know that I'm alive right now.

People who never want to forget bad things
I'm sure there aren't any.

Humans are alive even though they have one or two chest wounds.

Also, sometimes, you may feel like you can't do anything about it.
Maybe there are things that people can't solve.

Humans are born crying
There are people who say that.

But even while crying, people live on.

They live in spite of sorrow and suffering.
If it's something people can't carry on their backs, wouldn't it be better to leave it to the Buddha?

As I wrote elsewhere, Amida is the Buddha of “mercy” = “compassion.”
They grieve with you.
And it gives me the feeling of standing up from there.

Why don't we put our hands together?
Why don't you leave it up to me?

I'm going back to 0.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Hee-san, and I saw your consultation.

Why the Earth and why do humans exist? Maybe it doesn't exist for any clear reason, purpose, or meaning. Even if there were, we wouldn't know.
What I understand is the fact that it exists. And if you ask why it exists, it exists because there are an infinite number of relationships (conditions) in place.

Therefore, we stand on the fact of its existence, and the reason for our existence may be something we discover or build up ourselves.

What is Earth? What is a human being? What is life? Asking the question is like asking for an answer in a sense.

1+5-3 = 3

Even if you ask what 3 is, 3 is 3. It's nothing else.

However, here, that 3 is made up of the condition 1+-5 -3. Isn't this where the question should be asked?
We find our dignity in the fact that we exist because miraculous mathematical equations have been formed, and we have hope for what kind of mathematical formulas we will continue in the future as a step forward.

How we exist rather than why we exist
How to live rather than why

There will be -1 days, and there may also be -5 years. Even if the wound heals, the scar will remain. The step -5 is also an irreplaceable walk in life. Because of that, the answer (me, life) is made up of it.

When it comes to aiming for +1, there are times when you want +100 to get ahead of everyone else and suffer from not going the way you want.
At times like that, let's just leave your body and mind free. I acknowledge myself that this is fine, and that's why others acknowledge it. Let's wake up to a world where everyone is originally the same 0.

What determines this is +1 and this is -1? That's my sense. We were so happy and disappointed when it became a 100 life, and when it became a do-100 life according to the standards I decided.
But I wonder if the world I can see when I look at myself beyond my sense is zero.

Buddhism may be a teaching that goes back to zero.

What does “nothing” mean “there is” is 0
What has unlimited possibilities is 0

Let's think about it together. I was happy to have a relationship with you.

To meet you.

Hello, Hee-san.

I wonder why humans exist. It's a philosophical question that people who take life seriously always go through. I was also worried when I was in middle school and thought about committing suicide.
But now I've found it. Everyone has different answers, so Hee-san must also search for them herself. Since life was born at least 4 billion years ago, we have overcome the pain of survival and passed on life to the present. Current science has gradually revealed the history of life, and it seems that 99% of the time it became extinct many times. However, while life evolved little by little from 1% of that, it evolved into various organisms in order to reduce the risk of extinction, and is connected to the present. Human lives are less than 100 years old, and I'm telling you that it took 4 billion years of many lives to create the lives of Hee-san and myself. Aren't you surprised? I was surprised. That's why I also vow that I must make an effort to pass on life to the next for my many ancestors and the creatures that entrusted me with their lives. And I think I met Hee-san here this time in order to pass on my life. When I look at Hee-san, it's like I was 35 years ago.

I think school life can be difficult. But it shouldn't be all painful. Don't you have any hobbies? I'm a kagikko, a little bullied kid, and I still love anime/manga because I enjoyed and learned when I was a kid, I was helped by them, and spent my time with dreams. If it weren't for anime, I might not have been able to live. Conversely, I was able to experience the joy of anime and manga only when I was alive. Hard things and fun things are two sides of the same coin. I am making an effort by studying and working so that the number of fun things will increase even a little from there.

Of course, there must be something fun for Hee-san too. Please extend it from there. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to contact us. Gassho

“Everything is auspicious and empty”

Hee-sama

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Everything and everything in this world is auspicious and empty.

“Lucky” (engi) means that it is made up of being dependent on others. The easiest one is that it depends on cause (cause) and relationship (condition).

The fact that “sky” (sky) is dependent on others means that when it comes to whether it is substantively or self-contained by something called “independent self-existence,” which continues to exist forever and forever on its own side, it means that such “independent self-existence” cannot be seen as anything.

“Everything is auspicious and empty”

Understanding this will also be one way to overcome hesitation and suffering.

Of course, it will surely be possible to get rid of the suffering that Mr. Hi has in her heart due to past events.

By all means, I hope you will gradually become interested in Buddhism from now on and continue your studies.
