Questions for Buddhists Part 7

　Hello. Nice to meet you.

Is the “Questions for Buddhists” series finally part 7? It's progressed quite a bit.
So, how about it? Were there any places where they were saved?

You seem to be worried about the beginning of everything, but well, it's probably the Big Bang. Also, it seems that the Big Bang was triggered by something, and we have no choice but to continue waiting for clarification due to scientific progress.
Even when the heliocentric theory was understood, organisms like monkeys evolved into humans (current monkeys do not become humans even if they evolve. Each evolves in a different direction, so it is said that there will be fewer and fewer similarities in the future) and when it was known that the universe began with the Big Bang, the Buddhist community said, “That's a problem. It didn't mean “there will be a contradiction in the doctrine.” Of course, such things had nothing to do with Buddhism (no note).
This is because Buddhism isn't about clarifying such things; it's about how we should live our lives. Enlightenment isn't about being able to see anything like light. Let go of that meditation experience once and for all.

Now, back to the cause and effect story, where is the “cause” that makes you write questions over and over again here?
Are there things that aren't going well at home? Are you having trouble with your company, school, or relationships?
Please let me hear that story.
　

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

The law of cause and effect, if I had to say either, is a convenient and convenient teaching, and there are places where it is nothing more than one methodology for thinking about “good fortune.”

However, if we consider it based on rational wisdom, it means that cause, relationship, and effect are also “emptiness” that is not formed as an entity, self-nature, or self-phase.

Although everything is “empty,” it is a place where various confusion occurs due to annoyances and intellectual disabilities on the side of the entity that recognizes the manifestation.

By practicing Buddhism and completely dealing with and eradicating afflictions and intellectual disabilities, you will eventually reach enlightenment and nirvana.

I hope you are interested, but if you read the content of Ryuju Daishi's “Nemoto Nakasho” (middle discussion), which I mentioned last time, I think there are places where you can learn meaningfully about various questions.

Also, there are various commentaries on “Nemoto Nakasho,” but the one I particularly recommend is Tsongkapa Daishi's “Sea of Justice” (Sea of Justice).

Also, if possible, it might be a good idea to read Master Chandrakirty's “Admissions Theory” as well.

I have a parable like this.

The parable of the finger of the moon.
Parable of the Gesshi. It's called.
it's not Tsukiyubi lol

There is a person
To teach the person next to you that “the moon is over there”
I pointed to the moon.
However, that person
Without looking at the essential moon
Why don't you just look at the pointing hand
“Wow, what's going on with this hand. Why are five fingers stuck? '

I thought about it, I can't see the essential moon at all lol

It's a funny parable story like that.

In order to teach the moon, it is Buddha who points and teaches it.
Each one of the Buddha's teachings is a hand pointing at the moon.

What is that hand?
I don't care about that.
No, if you get caught in that hand, you won't be able to see the essential moon.

Nice to meet you. I have had experiences similar to yours.

The difference between a comfortable state and daily life while meditating. I had nothing to lose in myself, and every time I came back to my daily life, it was hard. It's what's called zen sickness, isn't it? I was confused by the expectation that I might be special and the feeling that people wouldn't understand it in my daily life. If you think about it, it's not a bad thing or stupid thing, it's just that I was even more immature than I am now, but I am loosely reflecting on it every day.

huh? why don't we do it together? Of course, I thought so at the time too!

Now, there is a saying “easy to enter the Buddhist world, difficult to enter the demon world.” How you interpret this is up to you. And that interpretation is a mirror reflecting oneself. Also, if you are not aware of who you are in either world, you cannot be free from it.

I think that accepting both the Buddhist world and the demon world equally and responding sincerely is the shortest way to clarify the “cause and effect” answers you are looking for.

rationale? That's because I was like that, and so were my countless ancestors, whether famous or unknown. That's it.

Imagine a perfect ○ (yen). Where does this circle begin and where does it end?
The point is, this is what it is. In other words, cause and effect is only one aspect of “truth.” The moment you notice it, the concept of cause and effect disappears.

Okay, one more thing. What is truth? At least, it's not about asking others to tell you the answer. What's more, it's not something you can pick up on a free internet service.

You may already be faintly aware of this fact. Or rather, if you dare to ask a question here with such confirmation, it would be a shame! Isn't that a waste of amazing talent that will lead the future? (← I'm saying it quite seriously)

I think the embodiments of the truth of the world were people who made good use of such conflicts in their own lives.

Before you use your futile physical strength and completely immerse yourself in the darkness of the internet world, why don't you make use of all that energy in the real world?

That way, you'll feel more than 100 times more refreshed than feeling happy and alone in this place!

Isn't a list of worries a list of enlightenment?
In other words, it is enlightenment that worries disappear.
I realized that soap bubbles would break.
Broken soap bubbles never come back.

Maybe there are people who used detergent to make soap bubbles.
However, it is difficult for soap bubbles to be soap bubbles.
When you are freed from being soap bubbles, suffering disappears.
Even if the soap bubble called mine disappears, someone might make a new one again.
However, for me, soap bubbles, breaking these bubbles is “complete.”
A story needs an ending.
Since new novels are being published one after another, is there no point in writing the last story of an existing novel?
no. New novels that come out more and more can have as many final stories (enlightenment) as there are novels.

I read it. There seems to be a lot of confusion, but the questioner's “sky” is the logic of Mahayana Buddhism represented by the Heart Sutra. The sky is different from what the Buddha said. I think they are thinking in a way that is mixed up. The Buddha affirmed that the Five Pillars are an entity, but what turned it upside down is that the sky in the Heart Sutra doesn't even have an entity.
There is a saying in Nakamura Hajime's book that criticizes group blindness, but our discussion is like someone with poor eyesight touching a part of an elephant and saying, oh, this is it. I feel that the questioner's discussion is moving towards a place that goes beyond even the Buddha's consciousness, and this is endlessly deep. Even if you use a portion of what you've learned as a standard, it doesn't capture all of reality. I know that Buddhism is not a biased opinion; it is about looking at the whole. That is also the middle way. The Buddha did not say that he was able to know omniscience. There is a famous Poison Arrow teaching, but the Buddha is in a position to guide and save troubled people, and his priority is to remove the arrow and treat them. The discussion about arrows is another matter. Please keep that in mind.

There is a Zen word called “worry is bodhi.”
There is probably no label such as worry or distraction for the first thought that arises in the mind.
It means that if humans don't touch it, it leads to Bodhi.
Aren't you making your own decisions about worries and distractions right from the beginning?
Based on the diagram, I can't decide from the beginning whether this is affliction or this is enlightenment.
When human hands intervene in thoughts that come up, thoughts immediately turn into distress.
If you don't touch anything as it comes out, there is no harm to that thought itself in the first place, so it becomes Bodhi as it is.
Let's properly understand what affliction is.
Talking about things by guessing is bad. If that's the case, let's explain it.
No matter how good an argument is made, it probably won't actually be the case. That's why they can't be saved.
They identify within themselves the process by which that booming feeling becomes a nuisance.
The reason why thoughts become bothersome is one's own feelings and opinions about oneself.
It became a causal relationship, and the result was a ridiculous argument.
You “speak” of enlightenment. Enlightenment isn't something to talk about; it actually embodies it.
What is enlightenment for unenlightened people? You probably didn't understand it after all when you heard it.
Under someone who has properly realized it, “Oh, this is settled!” If I'm not convinced, I just read the recipe and sheet music and feel like I understood it.
They probably didn't listen to people at all because they wanted to insist on their own admonition.
If you don't feel like reading your true intentions, you've just developed an unintelligible argument called a question. That's just useless.
The “world of thought” you are doing here is a completely different world from the “world of facts” that we are telling you.
I'm unaware that I'm running away from there without watching it, insisting on Satoshi, and hitting the thought pedal called “Satoshi.”
They say, “You still only have recipes and haven't eaten the real thing.” I feel like you've eaten it, but it's an illusion that makes me think. Really, once you taste it, the joke won't come up.
It would be great if someone was enlightened by that argument, but let's take a look at the fact that even you are not saved by that argument. Please never run away from there this time.
What you are doing is nothing but a “Satoshi” discussing enlightenment.
The admonition of enlightenment is the best feast, so it's a good idea to first be taught “Satoshi” after being able to make it yourself.
