Thank you for answering my questions every time
Now I have another question about reincarnation
I heard in the previous question that people are reincarnated because of their actions
There's a debt in this world and you have to repay it, right
But since the first human being created didn't leave any work in this world, why were they born into this shabba world to repay debts?
This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.
Anyway, the reason we get lost and reincarnated into suffering is due to some kind of causal relationship (cause and condition).
There can be no result where there is no causal relationship. However, no matter which causal relationship continues to be traced back..., to be honest, it is inevitable that it will be infinitely retroactive.
Often, along with reincarnation, the term “unfounded” is also used, but it means “as long as we continue to accumulate false causes and relationships, reincarnation will continue indefinitely.”
The analogy of debt can be described to some extent, but it is also a reality that acts that can actually be repaid are almost impossible due to ignorance and worry.
Also, arguing about “unfounded” also means “ignorance,” but anyway, now that we currently live in a world of lost and suffering as people, we would like to build up causal relationships to lose even a little bit of hesitation and suffering from now on. Buddhism also teaches this purpose.
Let's work hard together.

I've read your questions so far.
Various answers have been given on Hasunoha until now about reincarnation and after death, so be sure to touch upon the various experiences. You can follow it with a tag or search it will come up.
I myself basically “don't know” about the afterlife. I can't prove it, and until now no one has come back after death. Also, I myself have no memories of my previous life.
Well, I am a member of the Jodo Shinshu sect, and Rennyo Shonin, who is the 8th generation counting from the founder of Shinran Shonin
“Even if you know 80,000 Hozō, people unknown to future generations are foolish.”
Translation: No matter what kind of knowledge they have, and even if they know the many teachings that Shakyamuni preached that is said to be 88,000, people who don't know what will happen after death are fools.
That's what you said. That's because “future generations” become an issue “now” in this life.
Generally, in the Jodo Shinshu sect, it is explained that people pass away in the Pure Land after death. I've heard from my teachings that Pure Land is a so-called ideal world, as you can imagine, and it's not a wonderland like a place of reincarnation with the reality that everyone can meet their loved ones again there.
The Buddhist theory of the Amitabha Sutra says “meet at one place with a club”, and since all people were born out of relationships, I think that is how it expresses the fact that if you run out of relationships with Shawa, you will return to the world where the relationship came from.
This is exactly the reason for the good fortune that Shakyamuni was awakened. Shakyamuni was believed in India at the time, and we don't have the idea of reincarnation, that is, something that changes to reincarnation and death. Since I am now formed by countless relationships (conditions/environments), there is no entity called me there, and if the relationships that form me run out, I will return to the hometown of relationships I had before I was born. That hometown could also be described as a pure land.
Like waves that occur in the ocean, they are born and disappear, return to the ocean, and are born and disappear again. The wave that was born earlier is not the same as the next wave. It hasn't even continued. However, it is a wave originating from the same ocean (all over).
Therefore, there is no such thing as birth discrimination that continues from previous lives. All lives are equal.
I've heard that it would be like this if it were based on the good fortune that Shakyamuni had awakened.
It's probably because you don't understand that it's important to come across teachings that are left to you and listen to them honestly.
The Buddha explains that reincarnation is “immortal.”
There is no beginning to reincarnation.
I think it's been going on since that long ago.
So, the monk doesn't understand more than that.
What you understand is the Buddha, so please use this life to walk the path to the Buddha.
If you become a Buddha, you won't have any questions ♪

Hello. I took a look.
You're interested in reincarnation, aren't you? I myself am a human being who can only see through the eyes of worry, so I can't see through all of my past lives. However, there is ignorance at the root of reincarnation. Then, due to ignorance, karma due to acts is accumulated and changed. To put it in an extreme way, we were born out of ignorance.
We are born from a rice field called ignorance, and our work during our lives is further planted in the rice paddies and transformed into soil. This will once again give birth to the next life.
I was born from an unclean soul (life), and life and death (life of suffering) are repeated. That's why I think it's a way to purify one's life through ascetic practice and move away from the suffering of life and death.
Let's cherish the opportunity to attain Buddhism (pure heart) together.
