Know that I am sufficient

Humans are chronically frustrated.
No matter what you get, as long as it's public, you won't be satisfied.

The Buddha was a prince. The status, honor, and fortune of being a future king were promised, and a queen was also given at a young age.
However, the Buddha was not satisfied.

This episode shows it very well, doesn't it? The Buddha gave up everything and became a monk. I was asked for a law (teaching) that surpasses life, old age, illness, and death.

That's right. After all, they're all gone when they die. Nothing in the world can surpass death.

Therefore, humans will not be satisfied unless they encounter something that transcends the world and is limitless.

It feels like Anpanman's March.

“I don't want to be able to answer what you were born for and what you do in your life!”

“What makes you happy, I don't want to be happy and leave without knowing anything!”

So what's the answer?

It's probably not love and courage.

I can't express it well.

“I'm glad I am me”

I think that's a real sense of satisfaction.

The teaching that we are finite is beyond life and death. That is Buddhism.

Let's ask Buddhism. Your dissatisfied self will be illuminated, and the path to “knowing enough as it is” may be waiting there.

I read it. Sometimes I'm satisfied because I don't have one. Once you have everything, the world will be empty.
I also think they think we'll share it because we're not with each other.

Were the times without things really unhappy? Are we really happy in an age where we live filled with the present?

Things and my body seem to be my property, so that's not the case. It's an illusion.

In other words, they are looking for illusions.

Please take your time and think about it.

Please take a break and visit the temple. I'm sure there will be many discoveries.

I'm praying that your heart will be filled and happy from now on.

For example, let's say Shinigami appears just before you die and says:
“From now on, I'm going to give you 10 minutes as a bonus for life. You can do whatever you want for 10 minutes. Prepare everything you need, from candy candies to jets. Have fun for 10 minutes.”
What do you do for the last 10 minutes of your life?

You can do whatever you want.
If you can enjoy it for 10 minutes, you can travel in space with the magic of the Grim Reaper, transform into a beautiful girl and wait to be scouted by an idol, eat a fancy dinner, take a nap in a hot spring, go home to listen to your birth and your parents' laughter with a time machine, replace a torn shoji, wax your car, try robbing a bank, download your favorite song, request a memorable horse-drawn lantern, meditate or nembutsu, Practice kendama, etc.
Either way, for those of you who are dying, if you enjoy it for 10 minutes, there won't be any difference in value.
Those 10 minutes are still the same even after 80 years.
When you inhale, you want to exhale, and when you exhale, you want to inhale; it's just a little bit of reason attached to stimulation, suffering, and impulse.

“If it becomes nothing originally, you cannot fulfill your own or real thoughts in various matters, and you should throw everything away.”
(Humans don't originally have anything, so don't put anything on it and think “this is your property,” throw everything away)
These are the words of Ippen Shonin, the founder of the Uchi sect “Ji Sect.”

It's an incredibly pleasant feeling that things are increasing more and more, isn't it?
The more it increases, the more greed it becomes.
But as it is now, you won't be satisfied forever.

Please take a look around yourself.
There must be something you don't need.
Let's take the plunge and throw it away.

By throwing away things you don't need, your obsession with things gradually goes away.
Then, the mind is separated from greed, and new values are born.
It is said that peace of mind awaits beyond that.

I used to be a clothing freak.
When new ones came out, I went shopping more and more.
it was already a mass of greed, wasn't it?
However, at one point, I put the words of Ippen Shonin into practice and threw away things I didn't need.
Then, values gradually changed over a period of about 2 years.
Nowadays, everyday wear is jerseys.
After that, I sometimes go to Umeda and Sannomiya, so I only own one set of suits.
However, I was freed from the spell of clothing.

Please take the plunge and throw it away first. It may be the first step to feeling happy.
Why don't you try putting the words of Ippen Shonin from 750 years ago into practice?
