hasunoha

I'd like you to answer my questions.

What do you think about this world? I want you to reveal the truth of a real monk rather than an interpretation. Are you angry? Are you dumbfounded? Is it vanity? Is it selfishness or selfishness?

I've asked two questions before this, and I'd like you to answer them as well.

I'm so sorry. Please wait for a while.

Hello.

There is currently a limit on questions here at hasunoha, and about 30 questions are asked per day.
There are about 100 registered monks, and all of them are writing the answers here while doing the work they should do as monks. So I think there are probably only about 5 monks actually able to answer per day. Also, depending on the content of the question, I may spend a day thinking and writing. You're volunteering, aren't you? The response tempo is slow.
So I'm sorry that it's hard to answer. Please wait for a while.

Also, I would like you to ask new questions at least after the answers to the previous questions have been answered. There are currently restrictions on questions, and there are many other people who want to ask questions. Thank you for your consideration m (_ _) m

Oh, is it about this world? This world is this world by twisting it all together. This is real and true.

This world and life are hard

I read it. Thank you for your question. I'll answer in my own way.
Life is hard, isn't it? In reality, living in this world will continue to be extremely painful no matter what kind of situation you are in. Among them, there is a slight amount of joy and fun, and we live surrounded by so many things.
You can't understand suffering until you really experience it. You don't understand that pain until you taste it, and you can also understand human pain. That's why we can feel joy and share it with others.
It's also important to think in your head, but please face reality and experience it for yourself, consider the lives of people in your life, the world of people, and learn what is important, what is right, and what we are looking for in our future lives.
You are not alone, so let's learn about this world as something we live together in this era.

This is also fate. Right.

Even if you ask questions, they'll be left unattended; this is also fate, isn't it? Put it in your own way.
But somehow they get irritated and say, “Please answer the other day.” Don't you want to accept “because it's fate”? I think so.

Also, “the truth about being a monk” is called “interpretation”, right? Of course, it's not limited to boys, and at the point where “someone expresses it,” it can only be an “interpretation” based on the person's situation... Do you understand that area?

So, this world... it's like a school, a place where there are experiments, experiences, and learning, and one day I'll graduate.
But the examples you've given all seem to be about “people in this world,” but you want to hear about “this world,” right?

Everything is painful

Please hold your breath.
It becomes painful and makes me want to exhale.
So let's keep breathing out.
It's getting painful and I want to take a breath.
Let's keep taking a breath.
It becomes painful and makes me want to exhale.

Life is just like this.
In this world, the stimuli of suffering come one after another, and we have to keep dealing with them one after the other.
The true nature of even pleasure is “suffering.”
So, no matter how much fun it is, I hate it if I do it all the time.

I don't think you've seen this world straight yet.

When I was young, I felt the same way as you when I was 40 and still young, but my skin was tight and slim. I understand.
However, it was a vision I saw through my own filter called “I,” and in fact, I wasn't looking at this unfiltered view of this world.
What I noticed was not when I felt the impermanence of this world... but when I was wearing sunglasses and watching Gachabin, and I was gradually watching a different character.
I learned the difference between seeing and seeing.
What you see with the naked eye is different from what you “see” in your brain.
It's the difference between the worlds of fact and thought.
For example, once Pikotaro is popular and is taken into the brain, Pikotaro sees all his punch perm old man Chobihige. The old man with punch perm sunglasses who was in front of the Yakuza office said, “() it's Pikotaro, right? Please sign!” If you talk to me in a friendly manner, it will make you feel bumpy.
Are all the punch perms in this world Pikotaro? No, the old man in front of that office is certainly similar, but he's a very scary person, so don't talk to him in a relaxed manner.
What I want to say is that [there are facts beyond my own thoughts].
You're prioritizing your thoughts.
This world is neither good nor bad, nor anger, astonishment, vanity, selfishness, selfishness, selfishness.
It makes you think that way. It only becomes that kind of vision in the minds of people who think that way.
I'm sorry that Hasunoha didn't answer in time and didn't seem to be able to catch up. What's more, they must have felt disgusted by the monks, but we're just waiting for an answer. Take a hundred steps back, take a deep breath, and look around the world again.
Please try to look at things without your ego filter of “me, me, me.”
Practicing Buddhism and Buddhism is exactly a path that removes that ego filter, ego filter, and self-centered perspective, and is used to look straight at the facts.
If you have a self-centered perspective, you will inevitably think for yourself.
My field of vision and the world are getting smaller.
If you want to be able to love this world even more, don't hate this world, don't hate monks or people, and notice the existence of a self-filter within yourself that makes you think so.

I'm glad to see you again!

This is my third answer...! Please stay with us for a while longer!

Is this the truth of this world...! It's difficult to put this into words.
Because words and interpretations are always a set. As long as words are used as a medium, there is no escape from interpretation.
Words seem surprisingly dexterous and clumsy.

So, I would like to introduce the story of someone who tried to convey the difference between the truth of the world (= the truth you mean) and interpretation.

It's a story called “Nenka Smiles.”

Buddha's sermon from one day.
I brought one flower, stood in front of everyone, and smiled.
His apprentice Makakaba captured his true intentions and smiled back.

... and that's it. Wow, how simple it is!

I am good at getting between “truth” and “interpretation.”
Buddha, that's a perfect balance! that's too nice!

What do you think? ... did you notice anything?

... Now, let me “interpret” the “truth” through my words.
The degree of “interpretation” is higher than that of a scene in “A Smile”.

Truth is an undifferentiated world before it is identified by reason and emotion.
It's the so-called “as-is” state, isn't it?
“Everything” exists, and since it is a state where it doesn't matter, “nothing (whether expressed in words)” at the same time.

(Furthermore, as a side note, if we trace various human emotions, such as anger and sadness, to the root, they are classified as either “pleasant” or “uncomfortable.” However, “truth” goes beyond the “interpretation of emotion” with the names “pleasant” and “uncomfortable.” (So, expressions such as “the truth of sorrow” in the streets are unfortunately appropriate and have disappeared!)

That's it. What do you think? ... did something catch your eye?

I've explained it up to this point, but...
Common understanding (= common interpretation) is only established because we mutually perceive the object. This means that no matter how many questions you ask, unless you perceive “truth (truth)” in the correct form, I don't think you'll be convinced no matter what kind of answers you get from anyone.

That's probably why the Buddha “smiled,” and the ancestors put together zazen meditation, chanted nenbutsu, and went to ascetic practice with one move at a time. Therefore, we are following their example, and we definitely want you to do the same.

That's why I'm rolling it down to ashes!
