What is mercy in Buddhism?

Zenshu-sama
Nice to meet you, my name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an, thank you for your support.

Love in Buddhism is called “thirst”, etc., and is viewed as distress. On the other hand, there is “mercy,” but as far as I learn, it is said that there are elementary, middle, and large.

Little mercy is the so-called world of our common love and humanity. It's a way of using it such as “that detective is merciful and is called the Buddha's Yama-san.”

Naka-benevolence is supposed to be about understanding the teachings of “selflessness and luck,” which is the foundation of Buddhism, and conveying them to others.

And great mercy means that middle mercy is boundless and completely done. In other words, it is assumed that the teaching of “selflessness and luck” will be fully conveyed to all sentient beings.

The “mercy” we usually use is quite different from the “mercy” in Buddhism (see above, mercy, great mercy).

Incidentally, in Christianity, it seems that so-called love between humans and infinite/free love (agape) from God to humans are considered different things.
Therefore, Christianity is sometimes called the “religion of love,” but I will add that it is completely different from “love,” which is distressing in Buddhism.
(This is the part I misunderstood when I first started studying Buddhism)

Nice to meet you, Zenshu.
This is Nakamura Taishaku from Tokushima Prefecture, the temple of Dharma and ceiling paintings.

Mercy is a word that combines compassion (mercy) and sorrow.
To be compassionate is when parents take care of their children so that they surround them with free love.
To be sad is to feel someone's sadness as our own. For example, people outside of disaster-stricken areas feel sad for those affected or died in the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Both are things I sympathize with.

There is Kannon, the Buddha of Mercy.
Despite being in a world without any hesitation in the world of enlightenment, they come all the way down to those of us who are suffering. It is said that they offer a helping hand with compassion and tell us, “Don't worry.”

Lending a helping hand to those in need is a heart of mercy, and it is the work of Kannon.

Mercy is the two feelings of mercy (metter) and mercy (Karner).
Charity is the feeling of wishing for the other person's happiness. It seems that compassion does not occur when there is anger. You can only hope for your partner's happiness when you're not angry.
Sadness is a feeling of wanting to get rid of the other person's worries and suffering. It's probably more like trying to help others more actively than charity.
Mercy is sometimes called “extracurriculation.”
“Love” is used in Buddhism to mean thirst or obsession, so it's not a very good word.
Love can also be accompanied by anger.
Stalking and being forced are also love.
Buddhist mercy is love without anger.
It's important not to be angry.

Mercy is different from what is called volunteerism.
If you do zazen (Buddhist practice) and destroy yourself, you will lose consciousness.
When self-consciousness, self-consciousness, and self-consciousness disappear, there is no separation between the outside and the inside, and the analytical and sensible division of the left brain.
If that boundary of knowledge disappears, you won't recognize yourself as “myself.”
There is no separation of shyness, and a sense of complete unity with the outside world is created.

This is not my own theory, and Dogen Zenji also said, “To follow Buddhism is to express one's self (self-consciousness), and forgetting one's self is testifying to all laws (without separation between oneself and others), and one's own body and mind and falls out (a Buddhist act leading to a state where there is no boundary between self and others). It is clearly stated in the volume of Shoho Genzo Gensei Kouban.

As a result, the other person's suffering and grief becomes “a state where we are not our own, our own affairs, or people,” and acts of compassion are carried out naturally. Like the monks who answered on this site.
The difference between the Buddha's mercy and the Bodhisattva's mercy can be said to be whether there is anything obligatory there.
Since Buddha's mercy is not bound by obligatory mercy, it is not an obligatory mercy or artificial mercy called ❝ must be saved ❞.
By itself, you will be able to provide the other ❝ benefiting ❞ of the acquired universe as a whole, naturally, unconditionally, and free of charge.
Seen from a third party, it is a kind, compassionate, and compassionate appearance, so it can be said that it was named mercy.
Children try to share good things without any separation between themselves and others.
Humans have a natural sense of compassion.
In order for adults who are overshadowed by individual values to bring out that sense of compassion from within themselves, it is likely that Buddhist practices, zazen, etc. that destroy their sense of self are good.
Mercy is nothing else to ask for.
Please awaken to your natural mercy and benefit many people.
A bonus
Q “Our research at the University of Tokyo determined that Kannon is Buddha's wisdom and mercy, but what does Nishiyuzenshi think?”
A “You guys are just arguing about the wisdom of mercy in logic, so it's ridiculous. Well then, it's the mochi I drew in the picture. Knowledge makes no one happy. I've been doing it ❝ and ❞ a long time ago”
