This is the person who is about to commit suicide

I'm worried about the world after death after committing suicide. Also, is it true that Buddha doesn't care about how or when those who die die? The Buddhist Code? After doing various research about, I found out that the Buddha did not say that if he committed suicide, he would go to hell, and that he did not deny suicide, all of these are human values of right and wrong, but there were slight variations depending on the site and book, so I asked the monk who does the main job. Otherwise, it seems like something like a regret will remain...

Also, do humans absolutely have to go through reincarnation when they die? I've lived until now, and I wanted to be a person who just watched the world from the sidelines to see if it would come to nothing but be reborn. Is there a way to become that kind of thing?

Also, this is a personal matter, but can humans change their appearance regardless of gender or age if they leave the body and become only spirits and souls?

That's all, thank you.

If you don't remember, you will be reincarnated

Even if you commit suicide, you will be reincarnated if you don't remember. Also, they are reborn into a state of suffering. This is the Buddhist way of thinking.

Therefore, even if you commit suicide now, you will not necessarily be born in a better situation than you are now, so you will suffer again. So dying just because it's hard right now isn't necessarily a good choice. More than that, you can live your life after getting closer to enlightenment, or after gaining conviction that you can gain enlightenment.

They've investigated more than a certain extent, so you probably know that even if you can't get a sense of consciousness right away, you can enter that entrance. It may be an overstatement to say that it is easy if you can get a mentor, but it's something you can put in. The entrance stage is called pre-flow, isn't it? Please at least die after you get there. If you don't get that far, you may suffer the same suffering again in the next stage. As you are aware. If it were Aomori, Kazuki Amano, who was born in Aomori, came as the predecessor. Please let that person meet you.

The above is also important, but above all else, please live. If you're not alive, there won't be a moment when you're glad you're alive. I want you to stay alive, please stay alive.

If you run away from suffering, you can be chased.

You will definitely be reincarnated.
Where you go is up to Enma after crossing the Sanzu River.
I have no idea.
For some reason, you seem to be running away from the people and society around you,
Actually, it's because they're running away from themselves.
If you commit suicide, the act of falling into hell is not such a threat.
I guess I felt like that because of my worries and suffering in life,
You probably have your circumstances.
However, it is my selfish theory after leaving the denomination,
I think there are some reasons for coming down to this Shaba world.
In parentheses, it's a “mission” or “challenge,” isn't it?
I took it because I got off the bus without permission,
The Buddha will probably have mercy on you,
I don't think a reset will take place.
Because for yourself, that's not right.
Start again in a similar environment,
If that were to be repeated,
Be strong this time and clear it by surviving.

Surviving is the only way to clear.

I think so.
I'm a believer in the Jodo religion, so if I die after the end of my life,
You are supposed to be taken to the Pure Land of Paradise.
So to speak, I've already received my passport and reservation ticket, so to speak,
I feel safe and happy.
However, I'm stupid, and of course I haven't developed any enlightenment,
In the Pure Land of Paradise, I received the teachings of Amida and other Buddhas,
I don't know how many thousand years it will take, but I will continue to learn.
Also, they develop enlightenment in the best environment called the Pure Land.

Also, there will be many people who will be sad if you commit suicide.
I lost a friend to suicide 20 years ago.
That pain and sadness come back clearly even now.
Your life is not yours alone.
It's a life nurtured by people around you, starting with your family.
You must never kill yourself.
If you're a student, you can quit school; if you're a working person, you can quit your job,
It's okay to retreat at home, but please never kill yourself.
please.

Why don't we find a solution together?
Please do not hesitate to contact us anytime.
I wish you all the best for your future life and happiness.
Namu Amida Buddha

If you use Nembutsu, you'll go to paradise. Consult a medical institution for “depression”

In the Jodo sect, it is said that if you wish to pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise by saying Namu Amida Buddha and Nembutsu, Amida Buddha will pick you up when you die, and you can pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise.
Being reborn into the Pure Land of Paradise is also part of reincarnation, but since the Pure Land of Paradise is the best environment, it is said that if you practice there, you can truly be freed from reincarnation (enlightenment).
So, do Nanmu Amida Buddha and Nembutsu, and rest assured that your life is a successful life with a confirmed happy ending.
Buddhist mercy does not abandon you.
Monks all over Japan will acknowledge that you are someone who should be saved.
You may not know if Amitabha actually exists.
However, there are real people who believe in Amitabha.
We hope you can be saved. I don't want you to commit suicide, but even if you commit suicide, the Buddha's mercy comes in hoping that you can be saved.

Also, when analyzing the psychology of people who commit suicide, there are scholars who say that 90% are “depressed.”
Your suicidal thoughts may also be a symptom of “depression.”
If that's the case, there is a possibility that if you treat “depression,” you won't want to commit suicide.
If suicidal thoughts persist for days, try talking to your healthcare provider.
If you treat it and your brain and nerves become healthy, there is a possibility that you will be able to live a normal life.

Healing rather than dying

If you catch a cold, you'll have a fever, right?
When you get hurt, you feel pain, don't you think?
Similarly, if you become depressed, you will want to die.
In other words, isn't wanting to die now a symptom caused by a mental illness?
Then what needs to be done is not to die, but to cure a mental illness, isn't it?
As a starting point, please write to Hasunoha why you want to die.
Please exhale the inside of your heart.

Let's take a trip

Aren't you in Hitokoro?
The world is getting smaller, so I think the mentality of wanting to get out of there is at work.
Dying or committing suicide requires more strength than anything else.
The fact that you have enough power to do that means you can do anything else.
Let's travel before we die.
Your view of the world will surely change.
Aren't you putting your own rules against the world?
Aren't you frustrated that it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to?
What makes that kind of heart even bigger is leading oneself to a bigger world. It's a trip.
First, let's get out of that small pond.
It doesn't matter if you come visit our temple.
First, why don't you break out of the reincarnation called the infinite loop of negative thoughts?
Getatsu
liberation.
I'll leave you with a hint for liberation.
“People are always liberated”
“People can't die”
“Hell is born when you die”
“Something that has suffered to death as a feeling has great power”
“What you are afraid of is yourself”
Please call if interested.
It's just that I can't think calmly when I want to die.
Please tell me your story.
If you're going to die anyway, then it's not too late.

Why do people talk about things after death in Buddhism

I'm seriously worried and every day seems to be hard

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

I'm really worried that they are thinking about committing suicide...

If people talk about things after death in Buddhism, what exactly is it for...

In any case, I believe this is to purify the mind by striving for good deeds without doing bad things, which is the basis of Buddhism.

It is the Shichibutsu Confucianism, “All Evils, the People, the Good, the Magi, Purify Yourself, and the Meaning of Buddhism.”

I would like to continue to work hard in this life without neglecting as much as possible so that I can firmly practice Buddhism and surely accumulate resources (wisdom and good fortune) leading to enlightenment.

If you really want to know more about things after death, please read the following.

“The Tibetan Book of Life and Death” by Kodansha/Sogyal Rinpoche, translated by Masahiro Osako and Junko Miura

Since they are already out of print, there are only old books, but I would like to recommend them.

If there's anything you don't understand after reading it, please don't hesitate to ask hasunoha again. I'll try to answer as best I can. We look forward to seeing you.
