Are healing and enlightenment different things?

Actually, you are here and now, feeling things, feelings, and thinking about things.

Denying the existence of “I” in that sense is not “selfishness.”

Selflessness is when we unconsciously consider what we think “this is our own” one by one, such as “this is not mine” or “this is not me.”

For example, they say “my wife,” “my child,” and “my dog.”
However, my wife is a different person, my child is another person, and my dog is a different creature.
“It's something else. However, I think the Buddhist understanding is that they are connected by relationships (cause and effect, good fortune).
Looking at it this way, do “my body” and “my life” belong to me? Can you say it's my property? That question should come up.

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

In Buddhism, there is a term for “self-interest and altruism.”

You can't just do things about yourself, and you can't just do anything else.

It is important to proceed with your own affairs and other matters in a well-balanced manner.

In detail, self-interest is wisdom, and altruism is blessing (convenience), and by proceeding with the amicable fulfillment of both, it will lead to enlightenment.

Along with healing for ourselves, let's proceed with healing for others in a well-balanced manner.

　There is now an unprecedented “healing” boom!
But actually, the history of the word “healing” is short, and it is said that cultural anthropologist Noriyuki Ueda first used the word “healing” in his research on exorcism in Ceylon in 1990.

Mr. Ueda often talks about Buddhism, but it can be said that “healing” itself has nothing to do with Buddhism. Rather, don't go with Buddhism, which has a history of 2,500 years! It's like that.

However, moving towards “enlightenment” rather than “healing” also makes me feel a step away. Also, I feel that the idea that there is no “I” for enlightenment is something different.
Let's start by learning about Buddhism and putting it into practice. I think that will gradually “heal” your heart.

If you take the first step 👣 wrong, enlightenment will only be a long way off.
Be careful not to throw away your original belongings and treasure underfoot and go pick up trash far away.
Even if you try to go to Hokkaido, you make a mistake in the first step and end up in Kyushu and then say “where is Hokkaido” is a waste of time.
I took a detour myself, so please be careful, everyone.
Dogen Zenji also confesses that he was “misled by a demon.”
If you write it in such a light way, you probably wouldn't think this is enlightenment, but what you're looking for isn't the kind of thought we envision, but the facts right in front of you right now.
My feet, right in front of me, my self before I think, seriously, 5 seconds before I think about this.
It's now, there, this thing, right now, right now, right now.
“Right now!” This is not Hayashi Sensei, but “now.” It's originally a Zen word.
There is no enlightenment that we should put aside this now and look for anything else.
Dogen Zenji explains that the “road” of Mogami Muwei runs more smoothly than the book, so why is it necessary to do things like ascetic practices and get enlightenment by getting rid of hesitation.
Once you have reached a state of enlightenment through zazen or meditation, you can see that originally there are no thoughts or worries to be paid for, and that no ascetic practice is necessary.
Everything is like this state of mind, so not only ascetic practices are ascetic practices; what you see and hear now is actually ascetic practice. However, there is only a difference between whether it becomes a Buddhist practice (ascetic certification).
No matter what you look at or listen to that difference, don't add your own thoughts to it.
Leave it there, and it's a world where nothing is said.
Healing is only there, and only then.
It doesn't last long.
That's because my heart is still stuck in a world of thoughts.
Enlightenment seems to live in facts away from thoughts.
There is nothing lost in moving from a world of thought to living in a world of facts.

If you look at it again without thinking, you'll be amazed at the smartphone screen

What I'm seeing and hearing right now is also a source of training.
No matter what you see or listen to 🍆 it's done without sharing your own thoughts or personal opinions.
The essence and content of the original self, enlightenment, and what is said in the world is already being revealed by “understanding the body and mind of the self that is being done” (this is important), which is fully automatic and indiscriminate.
