Is being born a human man a reward for misdeeds in a previous life?

　It's like lamenting “being born to a human man,” but I think “being born to a human woman” is just as painful. I think I'm watching my wife...
It seems like you're having a really hard time, but are you in such a difficult environment? Maybe you just think so yourself. No matter what kind of environment you're in, if you think it's hard, it's hard, and if you think you're blessed, you're happy.
You won't be reborn as the “human man” you are worried about. I've heard that the next generation will be born as a Buddha in the Pure Land.
If you don't like that, you'll probably think about reincarnation, but at least it's impossible that you'll be born a human in the next generation. Speaking from the Rikudo world of reincarnation, you'll probably definitely go to “hell.” It's a world where demons cut up this body, boil it, and burn it.
This is understandable if you think about what you're doing now and what you've done up until now. There's no way I can say the luxury of knocking down mosquitoes and cockroaches and eating steak with blood dripping on my cheeks, saying “I don't want to be born a human man” next time, and there's no need to say it.
What makes you lament is your own “anguish.” Once you have destroyed your worries, you won't be lamenting. But if you refuse to worry, you'll die. So we have no choice but to live our lives while worrying and suffering. I can see the Buddha who promised the Buddha's life to the next generation for me like this.
Instead of believing or not believing it, please ask me why in Buddhism they say “something I don't understand” when they promise me the Buddha's life... “There's nothing you can do about it,” it's about whether you can do it for me. This is my true encounter with my own worries and suffering.
If you actually encounter that, the path of giving up “worries and suffering,” going out with them, and living with them will be revealed.
Please face the essence of your own thoughts... I think this is a path you can walk if you are wise. You should be able to live a peaceful life without useless strength.

Questions and answers have already been answered, so I thought I didn't need any more, but just one word.

> How can I avoid being reborn as a “human man”?
If you think about this question the other way around, why was he born as a man this time around?
It will be.

It has meaning, was born as a man, and has had various experiences and experiences.
It must have been painful, sad, and of course fun.
Don't you think everything needed to be experienced as a “man” in your own life?
That's not true! It seems that it will be denied, but as one way of thinking, it means that there is also this kind of way of thinking.
Therefore, it may be an easier way to live if you accept everything.

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

Certainly, we were born into a human world which is a world of confusion and suffering.

However, the difficulty of being born as this person is...

In Buddhism, there is an analogy called a “blind turtle driftwood,” and it is said that it is difficult for an old blind turtle living in the ocean to be born as a human to the extent that when it floats up to the surface of the sea once every 100 years, it just so happens to plunge its neck into a hole in a floating tree with a hole in it that flows there. Furthermore, it is said that being born into a world with Buddha's teachings and being able to learn and practice the Buddha's teachings is still difficult.

Also, along with Heaven and Shura, they are called “three good intentions” in the Rikudo Reincarnation, so there is no change in being lost and suffering, but it can be said that they are far better beings compared to Beast, Gakki, and Hell (Three Evils).

Furthermore, even with the three good intentions, in heaven and shura, it is difficult to successfully obtain “free time” (having 8 free time and 10 tools to move towards enlightenment and nirvana), so in reality, only people are the perfect opportunity to practice the Buddha's teachings, so they don't want to waste time as much as possible.

It is also conceivable that people were born to some extent due to a causal relationship (cause and condition) of good karma in past lives. We would like to somehow not miss this opportunity and continue to work hard on Buddhist practice in order to improve our mental qualities.

Kishindō Inaka Kosaiko
Hello. I took a look.

As for what we are born into and what kind of environment we are born into, it only depends on lodging in the Buddhist world, but at least being born as a “human” itself is “good.” In the first place, neither evil nor good are values of good or bad within individuals, and the Buddha's teachings, that is, “meeting” and “being able to attain Buddhism” in Buddhism are “good,” so I think it can be said that Keishindo Inaka Kosaiko is rare among rare and “good works.”

I think the problem is that they are obsessed with the value “men are like this,” which has become painful. Conversely, aren't there parts that only men have enjoyed? Then, producing one's own suffering due to “one's own convenience” is “affliction,” and meeting someone on a path that clears that heart is a “good cause.”

Speaking of why I'm concerned about that, it's because “there is a part in my heart that recognizes those values.” Actually, I can't forgive myself for admitting it. If you don't understand the meaning at all, it won't stick so much in your mind. Or there is also a possibility that it is due to “relationships” with “people” that have imposed those values. For example, my parents have been telling me this for a long time. I can see “human relationships” from the text, but maybe that's different.

I can sympathize with the annoyance of values being imposed on me. However, I think that Kishindou Inaka Kosaiko will not be bothered by gaining satisfaction with her own life and appreciating herself every day. It's fine to start with shapes, so I hope you can start with the practice of joining hands and appreciating things that are commonplace around you. If the bottom of your heart is filled with connections, I think the “sense of alienation” that makes you worry about the values within you will also be healed.
