postmortem

Hello Matsunaka-san.

Where did they pull it from again?

When Matsunaka says nothing, I think it probably means nothing.

Strictly speaking, “nothing” in Buddhism is said to be divided into five stages rather than a group.

There are no unborn children. Two are extinct. There is no change between the three. Four won't be nothing. Five, after all, none.

1. Failure has no effect if there is no cause.
2. Nothing is extinct; even though it existed in the past, it is no longer there now.
3. Impossible is not here right now.
4. There is no mutual exchange; A is not B, and B is not A.
5. After all, nothing is in the past, present, or future. It doesn't even exist.

Even if we die, I think it's 2 or 3 when it's limited to our bodies.
As long as we reincarnate, we won't be in a state where there is nothing.

However, I don't dare to object to the fact that Matsunaka is interested in the world after death, and it is no wonder that she has questions.
However, by knowing that, I can't help but wonder what exactly they are looking for from a series of questions.

The Buddha dared not explain the world after death, assuming that there was no point in discussing it.
I decided not to ask.

Exploring the world after death without knowing how to live in the present is harmful and has no advantage.

I would like you to give up somewhere and use your strength to live hard in the present.

Our motto is that people never die.

Your body will last a long time, and you will pass away in the Buddha's Pure Land.

So that our bodies can also die when they reach the end of their lives...

I'm going to have a relationship with the Buddha.

Therefore, I say “people don't die” to people I have relationships with.

Also, you can always meet your loved ones again at the Pure Land.

I was taught that “nothing” is never zero.
“Nothing” represents things, things, and beings that cannot be measured by humans.

Therefore, they are already called “Muryoju Nyorai” and “Muryangko Buddha.”

In the Rinzai sect, it is explained that after death, people go to a world of nirvana where there are no worries or afflictions. Nirvana refers to a quiet world where fire has burned out.
When the Buddha died, he said, “Don't mourn. I will reach the Great Nirvana of Peace. Don't get caught up in life or death in this world.” I told my disciples.
“If you die, you'll be nothing.” Instead, “it spreads as widely as a thousand winds in this world.” Why don't you think about it?

Buddhism preaches reincarnation.
When you die, the next life begins.
In other words, who I am now is my next life from my previous life.

If you die and become nothing, you can live and die whatever you want, but that's not going to happen.
After death, it is determined by what you do now that you are alive, so if you live whatever you want, you will go to hell.

According to morals and laws, it is said that you should not do whatever you want because you need to live so as not to cause trouble to others, but Buddhism is different.
If you live whatever you like, you will definitely come back to yourself.
This is called self-earned.

What happens after death is different between those who have no worries and those who don't.
Those who have completely lost their worries (called Arakan). The Buddha is also an Arakan.) In this case, when you die, you will enter Nirvana (Nirvana).
Once you enter nirvana, you disappear from both the material world and the spiritual world. Even the gods, which can be said to be the pinnacle of the spiritual world, cannot find Buddha and Arakan who have entered nirvana.
In that sense, nirvana may be a state close to nothing seen from our point of view.

As other monks say, normal creatures that are unaware are called reincarnation (reincarnation).

“Nothing when you die? (lol)
I'm not going to die?
You can live even when you die. I think I've lived that way!!”
Vew! (Applause) Whoa whoa whoa...
“NEVER DIE!!”
“YEAH!!”
“DEATH IS NOT THE END!!”
“YEAH!!”
“Well then let's go to the next song, listen to it, ❝ Rock is Dead ❞!!”
DD ♬ DDT ♬ (are you going to die)

Even after the deaths of great historical figures, saints, ordinary people, Doraemon, Sazae-san, and Jimi Hendrix, they probably had an impact on many people.
Even if they die, they don't die and are still alive.
Art, teaching, cooking, and technology are things that live forever and make use of. That's why it's called life.
If you sense your spirit and soul and inherit it, it will last forever.
It's about learning that even the cell phone or smartphone in front of you exists by following the wisdom that our ancestors lived in. (-omega-) It's about living that way.
Today's compact cell phones used to be as big as Psycho Gundam.

Now, let's talk deeper.
This true state of mind and body is endless, endless, and inexhaustible if it is exhausted.
If you feel a big “work” that is unrelated to human thoughts, it will be lost in the small lives and deaths of humans.

Nothing is ALL.
It means we have it all. It's such a big thing that it is one with everything.
Let's throw away the cheap human divide and watch it on a galaxy or celestial body level.
A nonstop, eternal “now,” which lasts forever from the past to the future, continues to live right in front of our eyes, beginning and end. Now it's about live and ride on. Moss doesn't stick to rolling stones.
Null does not mean empty or empty.
If you are in a state of deep meditation or meditation (when you are in a state of deep meditation or meditation), the superfluous effect of self-consciousness disappears, so this body and external affairs become one with the whole.
For nothing, ALL.
Please meditate or zazen and lose consciousness, and feel “nothing = all” before you die.
If there is no sense of self or self to acknowledge oneself, there will be no sense of separation between inside and outside, and we will become one with everything.
If you taste it, you'll come to a conclusion that goes beyond logical characters. Your worries, darkness, sickness, and that public opinion you get caught every time will blow away.
In the first place, this world is already the world after death for someone.
Who is alive in you?

Matsunaka-sama

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

List of humble answers about “after death”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/cat_324660.html

Based on the answers above so far, it is probably basic not to answer as “ignorant” (useless discussion/discussion) in Buddhism, but since this site is a Q&A service, it is also our mission to answer.

Even if you don't answer and leave it as it is, that will be the answer, but even in order to understand that it is an answer, it is still something you don't understand unless you are quite familiar with Buddhism (understanding of Mahayana Buddhism at the level of a Japanese resident is required).

Also, as an answer, answering after death with one of the four phrases “there is,” “there is,” “can be said to be there,” or “there is no,” or “there is no,” or it is possible in terms of factual theory and convenience, but in order to understand that each of these four types of answers is “possible,” a certain level of understanding of Buddhism is still necessary.

Therefore, for example, in order to answer Mr. Matsunaka's question in a counterfactual manner and conveniently, it is necessary to accurately estimate Matsunaka's understanding of Buddhism, as well as his temperament and roots for understanding.

In order to refine the wisdom necessary to detect that accurate temperament and roots, it is true that Jusei is also devoting his efforts every day.

Therefore, if you are not satisfied with the humble answer, it will reveal that you are still immature in poor training.

So, as a humble answer, it says “it's not nothing, and it doesn't even exist.” However, “as an entity” will be added to it.

If it means “nothing,” then “nothing” is “nothing” in the first place, and nothing should happen or die (die). On the other hand, it is the same with “having,” and what is called “having” should also be “having” forever, and it should not occur or die (die).

Therefore, in reality, the fact that we are born and perish (die) means that we are not “nothing,” and since it is not something permanent and eternal, we are not “there.” This is all due to the character limit for responses.
