I've been unemployed for about 4 years now, and I don't understand the point of living. I'll be 40 years old on December 0. I'm thinking of it as my last specification at 40 years, which is only a good time.
I'm this kind of person, so I'm isolated with my family, I hardly talk, I'm in a state of withdrawal, and I just think about dying almost every day. I'm not afraid of dying, but there's something I want to ask monks, what happens when people die?
Thank you for your question. I see. Do you care about the world after you die? I'm currently researching it, and it really does exist, but I think it's like the Buddhist theory Amida Sutra. I think it's a world that emits “red red light, white white light...” light. However, I think there are people who are sad when they pass away. Humans don't live alone; they are supported, and I think our hearts are important thanks to you and each other. How about going back to the summit at Mt. Hiei? I'm sure you understand the meaning of life. Gassho
This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.
My son will be 40 next month. That's no good.
“At 40 years, I think of it as my last specification at a good time. ” ・・
That's no good.
Certainly, living is truly equally difficult and difficult for everyone.
Of course, as I say, four struggles, not only about living, but also about old age, sickness, death, and the suffering of having to break up with the things and things you love, “grudge affliction” (onzo suffering) of the suffering of having to meet things and things you hate, and the “unrequited suffering” (unrequited suffering) of not being satisfied even if you ask for something (in substance), and the mental and physical effects of not being able to obtain it. There is a “five great suffering” (Goonjoku) of suffering caused by being there.
The Buddha is explaining the teachings to put an end to this suffering.
“What happens when people die?” ・・
It is one's own actions, work, and karma that have a big impact on one's whereabouts and flow after death.
As much as possible, I would like to move forward better and adjust the causal relationship (cause and condition, motivation and action) of good behavior towards a better trend. There is also a hint for that in Buddhism.
By all means, I am grateful that you have taken an interest in Buddhism, and that you have been working hard to practice even a little bit.
Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho
It seems that when Ikkyu-san passed away, he was left with “four big five gifts to borrow, return this month today,” but this means that this body was kept, and eventually it must be returned to its original nature. If this body is your own, it seems like you can freely manipulate it so that you don't get old or get sick, but when you see something that doesn't go the way you want, it's not your own; it's something you take care of. How could it end without permission? In contrast to the truth that life is suffering, Buddha thought that the only way to escape that suffering was to create a heart that endures suffering through self-discipline. The original teachings of Buddhism explain how to train oneself. What the questioner wrote in hasunoha is also a Buddhist connection. Why don't you change the time you think about death to a time to study Buddhism and take this opportunity to learn from primitive Buddhism?
If your liver is so fat that you're not afraid of dying, it's still too early to raise the white flag.
If you don't have any physical problems, why don't you come and talk about what you can do and do?
If you die anyway, that's fine, right?
