My friend who majored in philosophy refuted me.

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

The meaning, reason, and value of life depend on luck and causality (cause and condition).

There is no such thing as an entity that can be said “this is it,” and it depends on cause and effect.

According to good worldly causes, you may be blessed with meaning, reason, and value as a good result, and vice versa.

Furthermore, depending on good causes and relationships that practice teachings taught in secular (Buddhism), you may be blessed with meaning, reason, and value as a good result of Buddhism (victorious), and vice versa.

After that, there is no choice but to confirm it while actually putting it into practice on your own.

It will be the “Self-Illuminating Method Light.”

Of course, critical and rational verification is also important when putting it into practice. I believe they must not be blind or blindly believing.

Well, I think people will be able to realize to some extent that goodness, kindness, love, or Buddhist mercy, etc. are of course not possible as an entity, but as something that is possible as “good fortune.”

However, these are often described as “illusory things” in Buddhism,

Also, when it comes to “luck,” there are three main layers of thinking: the first layer is the dependency relationship between cause, relationship, and effect, the second layer is the dependency relationship between the whole and part, and the third layer is the dependency relationship between concept (classification) and pseudonym (temporary).

Please learn more about the Buddhist way of thinking about the state of things and things. I'm sure you've noticed a lot of things.

Buddhism interprets the mind by dividing it into pieces. Psychology is similar. The heart is not as much a heart as it says. There are many things about heart in one word.

Well, leaving the small details aside, I looked at the flowers. Seeing flowers is a job for the eyes and brain. This is not my will. But then I quickly thought, “Oh, that's beautiful.” This primary consciousness is also something that the brain does without permission, and it is not my will. However, secondary consciousness, such as “but if you compare it to Acchi's flower, it pales in comparison” or “how should I preserve this beauty” is my will.

In Buddhist terms in the genre of wisdom, everything from eyes to primary consciousness is the first six senses of eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and the secondary consciousness is manna wisdom. In Buddhism, we do our best to minimize mana knowledge by leaving the first six senses undenied. Nihilism, which denies even the previous six senses, is a Buddhist way of thinking that is a foreign way of thinking, and it is of no use in moving away from suffering. Because in a sense, it's like not begging for something you don't have, it's like begging for something you don't have, and it's an ungrounded way of thinking. I can't escape being who I am. No one can be saved by denying that.
If it were all delusions, would anyone be saved by saying it? they all committed suicide and that's it, right? That is complacency. There is no mercy or wisdom.
There are various schools of Buddhism and wisdom, so if there are different stories that seem to be the same, please think that they are different groups m (_ _) m

I half sympathize with “true intentions... correct arguments...”. I was also told that it would be good to talk to my local senior Osho about various things, and when I talked about my weakness, I was scolded for the right argument. I thought I'd never talk to this person again. I appreciate your scolding, but if you don't accept your human weakness and then scold me, it's not worth talking about. It's just sad that it was returned with a proper argument like it's in a textbook. Well, tomorrow I'll just do it on my own and I'll get dented ('･･･)”

The orthodoxy itself is not wrong depending on the time and circumstances. Because someone has to say it. However, I would like to have various drawers for prescription usage doses, such as strawberry flavor or peppermint flavor, or to drink after meals in oblate that encapsulates orthodoxy

Oh, I missed writing it, but you can adjust your primary consciousness with the power of habit.

I think that friend is a realist.
Actually, Buddha is also a surrealist.
I explained that it is important to look closely at reality, not be bound by delusions or assumptions, and not judge things based on one's own values.
This way of thinking is also Buddhist.
I think it's close to the tenets of Theravada Buddhism and Zen Buddhism.

However, there are other denominations (doctrines) because there is suffering that cannot be overcome because of it, and there are people who cannot put it into practice.
Since people have different sensitivities, Buddhism also has various doctrines for the purpose of eliminating suffering.

For example, the Jodo sect believes in the existence of the Pure Land.
There is no denying it even if it is said that it is a delusion.
You can't physically prove it either.
Maybe it's just complacency.
However, the surrealist Buddha also said this.
“Everything is made up of the mind.”
In other words, if I have a heart that believes in the Pure Land, then the Pure Land exists in front of me.

Beautiful things exist in front of you because you have a heart that thinks beautiful things are beautiful.
Even if others don't think it's beautiful.

It doesn't matter which road it is.
Listen to the voice of your heart.
Please choose a path (doctrine) that your heart is satisfied with and work hard.
If you do that, I don't think you'll regret it no matter which path you take.
Also, let's not just get caught up in desk arguments; let's actually act. I think there are answers that can be obtained from that action.

PostScript
You don't have to get into a fight with him.
Let's respect his ideas.
Since everything is impermanent in this world, his mind may change in the future. I may even understand your thoughts.
There is also a story about a Zen monk who was negative about the Jodo sect, became ill when he got old, felt the goodness of Nembutsu for the first time when he was about to die, and died peacefully after chanting Nembutsu.
He doesn't need anyone's help right now, but if he asks for help in the future, please help him at that time.
Also, since this world is lawless, don't forget that there are people like him, so don't forget that you also exist.

Also, it is only when you walk along the path that you know if the path you believe in is correct. If you've taken the wrong path, you should change direction from there. The worst part is stopping and not doing anything. If you end up just getting to know it, you'll be complacent.

　You discovered the meaning of your own life by trying to do goodness, kindness, and love. It's probably an immediate conclusion and result that Shinsho-san found through intuition and discussion within himself, so no matter how others feel and refute it (although it would not be good to leave it alone), I think it would be good to take it as a reference only.

The title says “refutation,” but that doesn't seem to be a refutation. However, in a state of “arguing with each other,” the “arguments” don't mesh, and it seems impossible to “refute” or “refute.” If you're a philosophy major, that doesn't mean you can do philosophy. At least to me, that person's way of saying it doesn't feel philosophical at all. (Incidentally, I'm from the Department of Japanese Literature, but I often misread stories.)

Did Shinsho-san “deny” only the surface of the fruit without following the path (relationship) leading to the conclusion (fruit) obtained, and without knowing (cause) why he began to think that way? It's like seeing a flower blooming and saying, “There's no point in that flower.” There is no meaning in those words. That's because the flowers are actually blooming. There may be a logical scent surrounding that “objection,” but what that person is saying is simply a “decision.” It's common in everyday life and on the internet (I do it a lot. I can't help but feel like they're still doing it).

I think there are several types of “denial.” It denies existence, denies concepts, and denies phenomena. I think there are also types of denials that point out deficiencies in the ideological system. There is also a denial that “I don't want to admit it.” ... I think blocking the act of speaking regardless of the content of the statement is also “denial.”

I think the “right arguments” mentioned by another person are like that person's life lesson. I think it would be good to listen to how that person thinks and says so, and then decide how Shinsho-san himself will receive it. In the form of proverbs, it sounds factual, but there are cases where it isn't necessarily true (I think Akutagawa's “The Words of Zhu Ru” are a good example).

[However, I want you to go there while knowing that it is a phenomenon where you make mistakes forever. There is also an overwhelming lack of knowledge. Please keep learning.] (Change the end and title)
