The word relationship

I recently learned about this site, registered, and am posting for the first time.
I have been attracted to Japanese (oriental) landscapes since I was in my 20s, and became interested in temple buildings, gardens, sculptures, etc., and became interested in Buddhism while visiting temples as a hobby.

Looking at the Q&A so far, the word “edge” often came up in the monk's answers, and speaking of that, I remember that paternal grandparents (deceased) often used the word “relationship.”
I thought it was a Japanese and tasteful word, but is it originally a Buddhist term?

My mother, who had changed a bit, hates the word “edge,” probably because Inuzaru's mother-in-law used it a lot...
“There's no such thing as a relationship! An unattractive, unpopular woman didn't want to acknowledge the fact that she wasn't popular, so she ran away to saying that she had no relationship and fabricated a relationship that didn't exist!” I'm making an unusual assertion~^^;

Relationships aren't just about encounters between men and women, and firstly, saying “I was blessed with a good relationship” as “I caught a good man because of my charm” doesn't make a good impression (wry laugh)

However, such a mother respects temples and monks, so I was wondering if it were a Buddhist term, she wouldn't hate it if I let them know...

Please know the phrase “cause and effect.”

Thank you Murasaki for your question.

There are probably many people who feel something wrong with the word “relationship.”

In conclusion, “edge” is a Buddhist term.

The words “cause and effect” and “good fortune” are often used, but sometimes, they are different from the original Buddhist terms,

Usage may include misunderstandings.

You can think of “cause and effect” as “cause = cause” and “effect = effect.”

There is a cause for this, and this is the result.

I think it's okay for you to think about it this way.

Often, “cause and effect” is compared to a “seed” and a “flower.”

This flower blooms because the seeds of this flower are sown.

But in reality, it's not that simple.

There are times when flowers don't bloom even when seeds are sown.

In order for flowers to bloom, the cause of “sowing seeds” is essential, but in addition to that, there are things like temperature, soil, water, etc.

It is only when various conditions are met that the result is “flowers bloom.”

What corresponds to this “temperature/soil/water” is the connection.

Therefore, even when called “cause and effect,” “effect” is made up of many “relationships” in addition to “cause.”

There is a “causal relationship,” but the original is probably “cause and effect.”

“Fortune” is also a connection between the “relationship” and “origin” of “cause and effect” of “cause and effect.”

Therefore, the general usage of “bad luck” and “good luck” is strange as a Buddhist term.

There is “effect” only when “cause” and “relationship” are in place.

It may be a bit mean, but if you take advantage of your mother's arguments,

The fact that “an unattractive unpopular woman” (it's a rude way of saying it, but it's still in the original text) isn't popular

The causes, relationships, and effects are probably in order.

Of course, the fact that you can have a happy marriage has all the causes, relationships, and consequences.

However, “relationships” aren't always good things.

You should probably check that too.

“Enmity” is the fundamental idea of Buddhism.

Everything happens because of “relationships.”
“There's no such thing as a relationship!” That's impossible.
“Good fortune,” “selflessness,” “impermanence,” etc., all of these teach me the reason for “relationships” (^^)

Involvement of working relationships

Your mother probably wants you to catch a good person without running away from the word relationship.
A good relationship or a bad relationship is something you don't know what is going to be a good relationship and a bad relationship.
That's because breaking up even makes for a better relationship.
I think it's important to make good efforts without getting bogged down in the word relationship.
Results will change as you work to achieve good results yourself.
The relationships you have received from others can also make you better yourself.
Even now, I think many times are still being thought of in my heart.
It can also be used as a link.
There's nothing that isn't a relationship (/・ω・)/
If you look outside, the scenery is reflected, there is a sound you can hear, and that causes your thoughts and intentions.
There are only things that serve as a link.
Enishi, Yukari, Involvement, Involvement, Interaction, and Opportunity are all things we have received.
Those are all relationships.
Things that trigger enlightenment are things that should be done.

About “edge”

Murasaki

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

The word “relationship” is a very important term in Buddhism, and it is necessary to understand it correctly.

I've compiled my humble answers. Even when it comes to tagging blogs, “edge” is truly the number one tag/keyword.

Of course, in the world, for example, “relationship” is sometimes used in a bad sense, such as “creating a causal relationship” or “cutting a causal relationship,” etc., but this is a misunderstanding in Buddhism, and as Mr. Todo has already said, it is important to first clearly understand it as a reason for “causal effects” (factors/conditions/consequences).

Also, understanding this “relationship” and “good fortune” is also important in understanding “selfishness” and “unselfishness,” as the Exegesis Oath has already stated.

“Selflessness” and “unselfishness” also mean “sky,” but it is also highly questioned whether “luck” can be understood by equating this “sky.” In other words, it is an understanding of “color is sky, sky is color.”

Well, putting aside the difficult things for a moment, Murasaki is not the kind of person Murasaki can live alone. It is only when there are countless “relationships” that can be used to live. Therefore, it is important to be self-centered, self-righteous, and to spend time supporting, helping, sharing, and complementing each other.

Also, another reason why the law of cause and effect and the law of cause and effect are emphasized in Buddhism is that good causation (factors/conditions) is necessary for good results, and this is also the same as what Mr. Tange has already said, but if you face good results aimed at enlightenment and nirvana, it is necessary to build up a good causal relationship for that purpose.

The teachings for establishing a good cause and effect in order to become a Buddha are truly Buddhism, and their practice becomes Buddhism. By all means, I would be happy if you could continue learning little by little. Let's work hard together and walk the path of Buddhism.
