Is the relationship something the Buddha gave you?

It's a sudden question, but is a relationship something that the Buddha gave me?
I'm in business at work.
I think it's a place where 80% is painful and 20% is emotional. Today, my customers adored me, and I felt happy that they cared about me like this. I strongly and strongly hoped in my heart that our customers would be happy.

Sales work is often difficult, with people being scolded and made suspicious faces, but I feel so happy that I almost burst into tears from time to time with this relationship. I was wondering if this was a coincidence or the guidance of my ancestors, so I asked a question.
If you have any thoughts or interpretations of Buddhism, I would like to hear from you. Thank you for your support.

Buddhism teaches cause, effect, and good fortune

Every event has direct causes, indirect causes, and conditions that make it possible.
This is called the teaching of cause, effect, and good fortune.
I think it would be good if you took direct causes as causes, effects as consequences, and indirect causes and conditions as relationships.

Also, that event is the cause and relationship of another event.

As you can see, nothing exists alone in this world.
They are all interconnected by cause, effect, and good fortune.

“Buddha” is the function of breaking our misconceptions and awakening us to the truth.

In the Jodo religion, it is explained that those who have died will pass away in the Pure Land, attain Buddhism, and return to this world.
When it comes to what they are coming back for, breaking our misconceptions, awakening us to the truth, and coming back to save our suffering.
This is called phase return conversion or Bodhisattva of phase return.

Your ancestors also passed away in the Pure Land and must be doing some kind of work as Bodhisattvas who returned to the government.

The current hit is the power of the hundred unjust in the past, the elder of the hundred unjust

I'm sorry. I put difficult words in the title. But when I tasted it, I think it's a thankful word.

“Since you have developed a Bodhi mind and are concerned about Buddhist practice, when you perform a difficult act, it doesn't fit a hundred lines, even if you do it. But even so, by writing knowledge or sutras, I finally got what came true. The current hit is the power of the hundred unjust in the past, the elder of the hundred unjust
Dogen Zenji “Shohō Genzō Setsushin Sekusei Volume””
(The translation hits the target with a bow, but it doesn't hit the target all at once (100 is unfair). However, if you shoot multiple arrows that don't hit and practice, you will eventually hit the target as a result of the accumulation of that practice. The hit that shot through that target was the power of 100 injustice up to that point, and it is the elder (accumulation) of 100 injustice)

There are times when good results come out when you make an effort, work hard in sales, and work to the bone. On the other hand, there are times when you don't get results in spite of your hard work. In Buddhism, in order to explain such reality, I explain it with the term “causal relationship.”

The reason is the sales activity that Rika has been working on. It's an act or action. It is a direct action for sales. Relationship means the “conditions,” “circumstances,” and “environment” that surround you. Efforts are reflected in sales results. Leave results. This is not only due to causes (in this case, sales activities). Depending on the conditions surrounding Rika, it can be bad or good. Unfortunately, not everything “works hard will pay off.”

“So, is the effort in vain?” I think you'll want to ask that back. That's definitely not the case. This is because in order to obtain good relationships and good conditions, it is necessary to “sow good seeds” for many years. There is such a background, and the phrase “the current hit is the power of 100 injustices in the past, the elder of 100 injustices.”

When you work hard and get good results, you can praise yourself a lot. However, it just so happened that I was blessed with a good relationship this time. Don't get carried away.” Let's say it to ourselves.
If you don't get the results you expected, don't get discouraged. “I tried my best, but I didn't meet the requirements. Let's make an effort to “sow seeds” in order to obtain a good relationship and a good situation. Please encourage yourself.

Living in a relationship is a comfortable thing

By nature, I have a small temper, and when I was just starting out with Q&A, my stomach hurt when I finished writing answers, my stomach hurt while scrutinizing, my stomach hurt when I tried to press the post button, my stomach hurt while I was waiting for a reply, and my stomach hurt when I read replies. I think it continued very well.

Hasunoha is an exception, but Q&A is a place where it's easy to get rough, and if you notice it while struggling with cults, blind followers, and strange people, it's less than 10 years... there is a gap in the middle, but if you think about why it continues, it's nothing but meeting people. I can't forget the warm voices and harsh encouragement of the many people who first showed me how to preach Buddhism on the internet, the daisenpai who always scolded me for not running away from difficult questions, the one who wrote at the time of parting ways that I wouldn't be where I am now if I hadn't met here, and the one who wished me to stay a freak monk forever... I can't forget the warm voices and harsh encouragement of all kinds of people. Each and every one of them is driving me.

All human beings are made up of a collection of factors received from others. That is “one's life,” called a relationship. When I think about it, I see myself differently. In Zen-like expressions, living with gratitude and respect for that is called “receiving Buddha's feet.” Living in a larger view of oneself in this way will enrich your life. On top of that, I walk steadily on my own feet so as not to live up to that relationship.

>Welcome to me
Yorube Orenobe
Pinch (o) me
Who does it depend
Nichito no Eshi
For me
Makoto Egataki
Catch Yorubezo
(Tomomatsu Enko, “Dharma Sutra,” 160th)

These are Buddha's words that look like the oldest sutras. The Buddha's words and the very nice words of the monk from the TV program Bucha Temple are included as a set, and I will give you a cheering present for a difficult day

> I get asked a lot about the Buddha's salvation, but the Buddha doesn't help you unless you walk on your own feet. So when one disciple asked me what Buddha's salvation was, the Buddha wouldn't wipe away your suffering, he wouldn't pull your hand and lead you to enlightenment, he didn't sympathize with your suffering; I was just preaching the truth. In other words, preach the truth and think about it for yourself. So after all, the Buddha is watching to see if he can walk on his own feet.

The Buddha and I are related

I read your consultation. Thank you for the hard work of sales.
Sometimes relationships with people cheer us up, and there are moments when we can't help but feel strangely moved.
Isn't 80% or 20% of painful things saved by emotion?

Well, is the relationship something the Buddha gave us?

I mean, there is an entity called me, and furthermore, there is an absolute entity called the Buddha, and that Buddha is watching us

This guy is doing his best, so let's give him a good relationship
This guy has been doing well recently, so let's give him a bad relationship

It is not something that has been arranged.
In other words, I can express the relationship itself between me and the Buddha. As others have said, there is a cause, and an effect is born based on conditions. As a result, I happen to exist, and I am the one born (made up) of relationships. Both I and the Buddha are lucky beings due to a relationship.

The Buddha has the function of telling me how this is a good relationship, when I choose when to have a bad relationship, sometimes dislike it, and how I feel happy and disappointed.

Specifically

When I make an effort and succeed, I am grateful that success is not only due to my strength, but also because of my endless relationships

When things don't go the way I want them to, even though this relationship makes me what makes me, I hate it, and I'm suffering from it, and then it encourages repentance

Expressing such a function as “the Buddha will give it to you” is probably one of the beliefs.

However, at the end of the day, the Buddha is not like a god as an absolute person who controls relationships, and even the Buddha is an auspicious being made up of relationships.

This is the guidance of our ancestors, and this is a test or reward given by the Buddha

Instead of separating each one by my own thoughts, everything is a relationship, and if I wake up that relationships make me who I am, I will be able to open up the “comfortable life” described by Daiji.
Note, of course, “everything is a relationship” is not a theory of fate; it is a view of life and life where I acknowledge my subjectivity and appreciate that both I and my steps are supported by relationships.

I am someone who always walks the royal road with the Buddha.

The sales job looks like fun!
The right job for you
I think so.
It is said that I'm 20% impressed, but I thought he was actually a lucky player.
There are a thousand three sales, which will change depending on the content, but take a thousand approaches,
It is said that there are three good things.
What does it mean to be 20% moved
Terrible good luck,
I think it's a blessing.
From you, aggressiveness, sincerity,
And, above all else, Shinto and Buddhism
The feeling of gratitude for the people around me
It's coming through.
That's why you are
I think you have your blessings.

If possible, please go one step further
I will always be with the Buddha.
Not a single bad thing will happen to me.
This is because I'm always with the Buddha
This is because they are making them walk the royal road.
Everything you think is bad
It's learning in this shaba world.
Then, survive to the fullest,
When I'm old and invited,
Under the guidance of the Buddha, just as it is,
I'm going to take you to the Pure Land of Paradise.
I would appreciate it if you could think of it.
Who is that Buddha
I'll give you a gift with Amida Nyorai.

We wish you further success and good luck in the future
I also pray from the bottom of my heart.
