What is a human

Hello, Chii-san.

Why do we have to live in the midst of some kind of difficult life? did you think that?
When we learn about past history seniors, everyone who thinks about the meaning of life runs into those problems, worries, and struggles, and finds their own answers and records them for us. That is religion or literature.

Please take a peek into the world of faith and literature to find your answers. The world of literature in particular directly touches my heart.

Life is full of hardships for me, but there were so many moments of happiness. I think the sleeping face of a child is good to be a parent. Even if you wake up in the morning after staying up all night working, you'll be moved by the beauty and be moved when you see Mt. Fuji at sunrise, and do your best! It makes me feel like that. I think this is probably an emotion you can't experience without hard work.

Life is hard and cruel, but there is a moment of joy in it. Maybe monks are also doing it because they want to experience it, and even for such a bad boy, I'm moved when I get a thankful comment from a counselor who healed my heart by poor Hasunoha's answer advice, and I'm glad he was a monk.

Chii-san may also have a lot of pain, but there must have always been small joys. It's easy to forget in the midst of quite a bit of suffering.

Let's do our best to live together in order to find the meaning of life and be happy. Gassho

“For what”

The answer is probably different for each person, but if you decide “this,” when it doesn't come true or when it's lost, the meaning of life disappears, and people become hopeless.

Even so, everyone lives while vaguely feeling that they are “for this.” Sometimes it can be a joy or a purpose in life, but in many cases, it may be accompanied by pain or emptiness that doesn't go the way you want it to.

Facing death, you could end up “I wonder if this is good for my life” or “life was like this.”

Where does this come from, it comes from the viewpoint that “I” “live” with my power for “something.”
If I were living on my own strength, I should be able to choose for myself what. You should be able to decide.

But what is the reality? I don't understand, I'm not satisfied.

That's because they are “being kept alive.” Unexpectedly, I received a connection for life. It's all a favor, isn't it?
Even if you want to die, even if you decide to die, you can't die unless you have a relationship with death. Even if they want to live, they will die if they run out of relationships.

We probably have no choice but to work on what we feel “want to do” in the midst of various relationships we receive in our “lives made alive.”

A relationship that comes true. I'm happy when it comes true.

The fact that it doesn't come true is also a relationship. Why should we be sad if it doesn't come true? You'll need to feel responsible. It's also a relationship I received, so there's no need to be arrogant if it's because I don't have any strength. If not, then yes, you can have it again with your next relationship.

In other words, let's relax our strength and live our best.

Whoever does what they want to do wins. It made me want to do it, so I'm thankful for that.
The fact that I don't want to do anything is also related. That's fine too. It's not like I'm doing that on my own.

oh my? This and that are all related. Everyone was welcome. I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm thankful to be kept alive.

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

What are you living for...

I think each one has a reason, meaning, and value for living, but I think everyone lives in search of happiness and fulfillment.

Even so, I'm not very satisfied, and I'm at a point where I get lost and suffer every day.

In Buddhism, the cause is “ignorance” (fundamental ignorance), and it is a teaching that explains aiming for enlightenment in order to gain true happiness and true peace of mind by clearing that ignorance and accumulating correct actions with correct wisdom.

By all means, let's do our best to aim for true happiness and peace of mind by working on learning and practicing Buddhism.
