How to aim for Buddhism

It's the life you've been given, but it's limited.
Is it possible to get away from this world and aim for Buddhism?

Naoshin is a dojo

Hmmm... are you saying you want to take a detour and die? If that were the case, I wouldn't say that would be a part of the Buddhist sect. These are the words of Masaoka Shiki from his hospital bed.

> Until now, I had misunderstood what is called enlightenment in Zen Buddhism. I thought enlightenment would mean dying without worry in any case, but that was a mistake. Enlightenment meant surviving in any situation.

There is a topic elsewhere that “even the great emperors of the Sengoku period scolded their vassals out of pain before they died,” but in fact, the Buddha also yelled at his disciples before he passed away. Neighbors came to listen to the Buddha's teachings, but the disciple declined to meet him because he was concerned about the Buddha suffering from intense eating habits. I was asked 3 times, but I declined 3 times. Then the Buddha said, “You're so loud, Ananda (apprentice's name)! Don't disturb that person! Let's go in!” and.

I'm not saying it was before Hanahana died, but if it's painful due to illness, you can swear. Please come to hasunoha to complain. The fact that those words come up is also a source of life.

If you literally want to join a Buddhist temple, it's not just about staying in Miyama Yugoku, rolling up your head, and deciding in style. Dogen Zenji of our sect fled persecution and built Eiheiji Temple in Miyama Yugoku, but he said, “Really, sticking to Miyama Yugoku is just sticking to a superficial shape. But since it's a post-law world (because you'll be persecuted), you have no choice but to do it thinking it's unavoidable.” Surprising, isn't it? And it's interesting to say “wow!”

Please ask more questions. If you ask a question, it's a Buddhist devotional only for what you ask.

As for the Jodo sect

As far as you can, it's fine, so please recite Nembutsu aloud.
Namu Amida Buddha, Namu Amidabutsu.
It doesn't matter how many, but anything else.
Morning, noon, or night, any time, it doesn't matter how much.
Whether it's 100 times or 1000 times.
Please put your hands together and chant.
Please pray for the Pure Land of Paradise.
We can't leave this world,
In the unlikely event of an emergency, Amida will always pick you up from the Pure Land of Paradise.

With Nembutsu, the heart instantly returns to Buddhism

Please call it “Namu Amida Buddha,” and think that you can pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise with Amida's power.
When we nembutsu like that, our hearts stand on the white path leading to the Pure Land of Paradise.
It's a white road leading to the Buddha Gate.
At the end of this road, Amida Buddha beckons from the Pure Land of Paradise. The Buddha is sending it out of my back.
However, as you walk along this path, violent waves will hit you violently from the rapid-flowing river that flows beside it.
It's a wave of desire and a wave of anger.
Our hearts are quickly caught by waves of desire and anger (including sadness, jealousy, etc.), and we fall off a white path every day.
I'm constantly worried and suffering because of desire and anger.
However, once you praise “Namu Amida Buddha” and Nembutsu, your heart instantly returns to the white path.
If you are swallowed up by anger, nembutsu; if swallowed up by sorrow, nembutsu; if swallowed up by desire, nembutsu.
Every time you are swallowed up by a torrent of worry, you can return your mind to Buddhism with nembutsu.
Therefore, anyone can walk safely on this path of aspiration using Nembutsu as a lifeline.
Ten Commandments of Gasshō
Namu Ami Dabu Namu Ami Dabu Namu Ami Dabu
Namu Ami Dabu Namu Ami Dabu Namu Ami Dabu
Namuamidabutsu, namuamidaboo.

If they live, the merits of Nembutsu will accumulate, and if they die, they can pass away in the Pure Land.
Therefore, nembutsu practitioners don't need to worry whether they live or die.

Why don't you try becoming a monk

I read it. You want to leave this dirty world, right?
I recommend leaving this world behind and entering the Buddhist priesthood.
In other words, it's about becoming a monk and getting ahead in the world.
I think it's a thankful Buddha relationship where you can learn the correct teachings of the Buddha.
Please consider it.
I ask that you become a Buddhist and learn a lot.
It is said that Buddhism has 84 thousand Dharma. In other words, there are 84,000 teachings and practices.
Please consider it.
I would like to pray to the Buddha that you will be guided by the Buddha's teachings and that you will have a rich day filled with your mind and body from now on.
Namu Amida Buddha
