Nice to meet you. My name is Kasumi.
Excuse me for the poor sentence.
I let the dog I used to own die.
I had a rough temper, so I think I hit it too hard.
I regret it every night, and I really regret that I did something I couldn't make up for after death.
If I die the same way, will my dog forgive me?
Please let us know what you think.
Dogs have already been reborn and are living a new life, and they've probably forgotten their memories of their previous lives.
You're just one encounter with a dog in countless previous lives.
You probably don't have any memories of your past life now either.
If you were right in front of you, “Catherine, it was an eagle who killed you in your previous life, please, please forgive me, Catherine!”
Even when a strange old woman comes to apologize, you say, “How dare you killed me in a previous life!” That's probably not going to happen.
More than that, it seems that dogs have now been reborn as different creatures.
The baby I passed by in town or the fish I ate yesterday may be reincarnated as a dog,
It would be more redeeming to take care of the creatures in front of you that you encounter every day.
Nice to meet you, Kasumi.
This is Nakamura Taishaku from Tokushima Prefecture, the temple of Dharma and ceiling paintings.
You regret having let your dog die, don't you?
The dog Kasumi kept seemed to have a rough temper, but why did she decide to keep one? There must have been some reason. I think about the dog I owned so much that I regret it, so I think it's hard to think that nothing happened.
It is true that Kasumi's dog died. But there's something we can learn from it.
Why did you start keeping them? You know they have a rough temper, so why did you start keeping them? Do you have any idea why Kasumi hit the dog she owned too hard? Aren't you putting someone on top of each other with a hot-tempered dog?
Digging in and thinking is a memorial service for dogs that have died.
Kasumi. Nice to meet you.
You regret having done something difficult, don't you?
If your regrets are causing you suffering, aren't you already making up for it now?
Certainly, what you've done won't go away.
So don't turn it off.
Please don't erase it and admonish yourself not to repeat it.
Please be yourself and not repeat who you were when you were hit hard by your dog.
Sins won't go away, but everyone has sins and mistakes, so we can move forward.
Instead of erasing sins, I think not repeating sins is annihilation.
If you're in pain, those thoughts must have been properly conveyed to your dog.
There may be another puppy waiting for you somewhere who is wary.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.
First, first of all, there isn't a single person who can live without killing a living thing. Our “life” is made up of the sacrifices of countless living creatures.
Once eaten, we are able to be kept alive by receiving many “lives” from cows, pigs, and chickens to small microorganisms.
Also, once you walk, if you ride a motorcycle or car, you may even kill insects crawling on the ground by trampling on them.
Furthermore, if they see a mosquito, they kill it by clapping their hands with a snap; if they don't want to be stung, they burn mosquito coils or vape mats; if they see a cockroach, they exterminate them by injecting a cockroach jet, and set up cockroach hoihoi and boric acid dumplings. If you see a line of ants in the house, they will place an ant nest Korori...
To be honest, there is no change in the fact that we, animals, and insects all work hard to live “life.” Of course, the same goes for the dog Kasumi kept as a pet.
Apart from pets, if we say we don't care about the animals we eat or the insects we hate, it's just our reason, likes and dislikes, complacency, and selfishness...
Well, what I want to say here is not to eat anything, don't walk, don't kill insects, microorganisms, or anything, and that is impossible after all. However, we must never forget that we have received so many “lives” and are being kept alive, and we must spend our days feeling grateful for them.
I'm sure Kasumi's dog also made me notice that she learned a lot from that “life.” Hold that firmly in your heart, and suddenly notice an insect that almost trampled on you at some point, and quickly avoid it, or if there is an insect drowning in water, it doesn't matter if it starts with such a trivial matter, so I think it would be great if you could cultivate a sense of compassion for others.
Anyway, please stop regretting it. Also, please refer to the humble answers to each of the questions below.
