To the enlightened monk

The principal image of the Jodo Shinshu sect is called Amida Nyorai.

In the Jodo religion, there is a story of Hozo Bosatsu.

A long time ago, a king was moved when he heard the Buddha's sermon, called the monk, who became a monk himself, and tried to attain this incredible enlightenment.
The king became a monk and called himself Hozang.
I am determined to save all people, no matter how poor their abilities or how sinful they are.
To that end, I spend a tremendous amount of time thinking about what kind of world the country (French Homeland, Pure Land) I create after attaining Buddhism should become.
Then, he practiced Chozai Eisaku (a long period of time close to infinity), attained Buddhism, and became Amida Nyorai.
Since then, a long time of trouble has passed.

This is the story of Hozo Bosatsu.

However, this is actually contradictory.
The 48 vows made by Bosatsu Hozo are all “If there is even one person who cannot be saved, I will never attain Buddhism.”
It has become.

I myself, the koalas themselves, are still suffering in this real society.
As long as there is even one suffering person, there is an entity that does not attain Buddhism and practices as a Bodhisattva.

In the Otani school of the Shinshu sect, it is understood that “the saving work of Amida Nyorai, who has already attained the attainment of Buddhism (the abduction of Kashari),” and “the oath of Hozo, which has not yet attained the attainment of Buddhism,” are working at the same time.

These are the words of a teacher

“Do you want to be able to always have fun and not be sad?” It seems that he said that.

Do you want to be a person who doesn't feel sad and can stay safe even when there is someone next to you who says “it's painful, painful, I want you to help me somehow”?
That raised the issue.

Yes, it's fundamentally contradictory.

If there was a koala next to the person who said, “I have attained supreme enlightenment,” would that monk be fine?

If you have attained this supreme enlightenment, there shouldn't be any pain, right?

But even though the person next to you says it's painful, painful, and that's fine, is it really OK to say “someone who has attained supreme enlightenment”?

I don't think so.

Changing from summer to fall, you'll naturally smile when you ride a short-sleeved bicycle, motorcycle, or car and feel the wind 🍁.
It's the same as that. 🚴. . oO (*'▽｀*) 🌸🌷
before that.
When I answered questions like this, there were times when monks who misunderstood enlightenment, such as “(- “” -) this guy is false because he said enlightenment or something himself.” Just Munch.
Let there be no misunderstandings about enlightenment. Please also see the second half.
Hello.
The enlightenment I'm going to tell you about here is the enlightenment of “Zen.” Enlightenment is (-`). . oO This is what the origin of every human being was before this kind of thing was interpreted as bad.
There is no need for speculation or analysis for enlightenment.
Guessing and analyzing is a world of the mind. The state of origin before that was a fact common to everyone without any denomination or school, such as “I think my enlightenment is like this.” The truth of self.
I want you to experience 0.5 seconds before I seriously guess...
The feelings of the five senses are things 👀 when you look at them 🌳 themselves. When it's fun, it's “absolutely” fun without comparison.
When it's really fun, there's no such thing as a relative.
This is because if you eat something tasty, the taste of something else you didn't eat at that time will definitely not be detected on your tongue. It's not there, is it? If there is one, it's a world of comparison in my head. Memories of the past and speculations about the future. It's a ✨ state in my head where I haven't actually touched “real-time facts.”
If you just eat it, you don't need to be aware that it's oily, and you'll definitely be scared. “Huh! (..) 🍚 Um!”
When it's fun, it's fun just like kids play innocently.
Conversely, if the attitude of dealing with things ceases to be in a real-time state of experience, it becomes a state of thought.
An “observational vision” that looks back on the world of comparison and analysis such as evaluation, superiority and weakness.
It's just a screen vision that has been transferred to the personal world.
0.1 seconds before that, there were only feelings and perceptions. “Huh! (..) 🍣 Ume!”
Doppler while judgment and analysis take place.
In words, it's 3 mm off, so I tried using emojis.
Whoopee ('◉ ◉) 🍖
I tried NHK and recommended meditation on Gatten. When you meditate or act selflessly, even if you don't realize it, the sensors of the six senses are sharpened, and even one rice cracker becomes so delicious that you can feel the ❝ layer ❞ of eating mille-feuille. (Although it's a senbei)
Knowledge about enlightenment is what interferes with enlightenment.
If you read my recent Facebook post from September, you should be able to feel the true meaning without any misunderstandings.

Sorry, I still don't remember.
A long time ago, it was said that the founder of the Jodo sect, Honen Shonin, can remember only 1 or 2 people in a thousand people, even monks. (Was it two or three?)
How many monks have come to their senses now?
So, there may not be many people who can answer that question.
But probably, once you reach your senses, your suffering, worries, and hesitation will disappear, and you will be able to live a happy life? I think so.
I'm planning to wake up in the Pure Land of Paradise, so I'm looking forward to that time.
If I don't show up in front of you after my life is over, think I'll have so much fun that I won't have time to go see you when I wake up in the Pure Land of Paradise.

However, maybe the most important thing is to walk with the aim of revelation rather than reaching awakening.
Let's walk forward with hope.
I'm sure it will be beyond that.

Even if I say enlightenment in a nutshell, I don't have enlightenment in common with everyone.
The hurdles are getting higher and higher as the times go by, but in primitive Buddhism, it was a great sense of enlightenment if you were able to feel the teachings of good fortune (who you are).
Therefore, in the Primitive Sutras, many people, young and old, men, and women have a sense of emptiness, and Buddha is also called “the most excellent person among the Buddhas,” and there were many other Buddhas as his disciples. There are probably enough people who have realized that to the point of sweeping away this day and age.
However, the hurdles have risen, and if you look at the hurdle of becoming a person with a perfect personality, transcendent, or savior, there won't be a single person. Whether you get close or close, the hurdles will stay away forever.

Now, groups that raise the hurdles say “once you realize it, you won't suffer forever,” but originally that wasn't the case. Even when it's hard to understand, it's hard when it's hard. Even Buddha, even after realizing that, runs into Mara (devil) all the time when something happens. It is common for Mara to run into and when the Buddha reads a poem of wisdom, Mara loses and runs away. Mara is a symbol of distress. In other words, the monks at the time of writing the Primitive Sutras told that even the enlightened Buddha was “suffering and conflict.”

Also, there is a famous story in this industry where when the Buddha passed away, his 9 levels of state of mind (determined from 9) gradually went up, went down to the bottom 1 degree, and took his last breath when he went up to the 4th level. When the Buddha passed away, he suffered from intense eating habits, and his heart was shaken in the midst of it. The Buddha is like that too.

Enlightenment is not exactly the same feeling for 1 minute and 1 second each time it is enlightened. Even after enlightenment, the time of enlightenment is the heart of enlightenment, and not when it isn't. That's all. It's obvious if you think about it, right?

It eventually came to be compared to the omniscient and omnipotent God of Christianity and Islam. If neither enlightenment nor Buddha are omniscient and omnipotent levels, they will be ridiculed. And since it's an omniscient and omnipotent level, normal people naturally flow into a trend where they can't reach complete enlightenment.

However, even in the midst of a difficult situation, I know where to aim... just by having that perspective, I can stand up once again, face forward, and start walking, even while crying. Whether it's the original hurdle or the hurdle that has gone up, there is the power of enlightenment.

Koala-sama

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

Your interest in enlightenment is truly appreciated and precious.

If you don't proceed with Buddhist practice after vaguely understanding what kind of state is your goal or goal beforehand, you won't even know where you are headed, and you may end up wandering uselessly through five miles of fog...

Regarding the state of the enlightened Nyorai, in difficult terms, it is an expression such as “seeing things in a way that you can't see them” by practicing Buddhism, successfully fulfilling wisdom and blessings, and being annihilated, and gaining enlightenment by being annihilated and gaining enlightenment.

Of course, of course it would be “what is this...”, but...

If you're very interested, yes...

To the point where you can understand the contents of “Chapter 24: Consideration of Sacred Devotion” in the full translation by Tsongkapa Daishi's “Middle Discussion of Justice,” I hope you can first proceed with your studies step by step, starting with the teachings that are explained gently and in an easy-to-understand manner about Buddhism.

Of course, I haven't realized it at all yet. Let's work hard together towards enlightenment.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

It seems that there are ten types of afflictions.
It seems that ten types of worries gradually disappear through ascetic practice, and it seems that there are four steps at that stage.
In other words, there are four stages of enlightenment.
It seems that when the fourth level of supreme enlightenment “Aro Han Guo” is reached, all worries disappear.
