There are many other things that can be said, such as luck, but here I will introduce Shichibu Tsutsukaige (Shichibu Tsutsukaige).

Shoakumakusa (Shoakumakusa) — Incurable (no) to create all kinds of evil
Shuzenbugyō (Shuzenbugyō) - doing all good
Self-purification (self-purification) — purifying oneself (mizuka) and one's meaning (heart)
Koreasho Buddhism (Zeshobutsukyo) ― the teachings of Korega Moromoro Buddha

The Shichibutsu Kyō is a poem (fixed poem) which is said to have combined the teachings of the six Buddhas who are said to have existed before Buddha in Buddhism and the seven Buddhas (past seven Buddhas), including Buddha, into one, and is recorded in the “Dharma Sutra.” It is particularly valued in Theravada Buddhism and Zen Buddhism, and is also incorporated into everyday sutras recitation in the Zen sect. (See Wikipedia, etc.)

If your mind is pure, you won't do evil and you will naturally do good, so it can be said that purifying your mind is the essence of Buddhism.

It's a teaching to become a Buddha

In Buddhism, various wisdom and precepts are explained.
All of these are “teachings for becoming a Buddha.”
“Let's do our best to become a better person” is not a purpose (it may be possible as a process); it is just a religion aimed at “attaining Buddhism.”

Studying Buddhism means learning how to become a Buddha, and believing in Buddhism means walking the path to becoming a Buddha.
There are many ways to become a Buddha, and it can be said that the difference in “how to become a Buddha” is a denomination difference.

It's four times (I want to).

The Four Truths (Truths) and the Four Noble Truths are the backbone of Buddhism.
There are four things: I want to give up on suffering, I want to give up on gathering, I almost never die, and I want to give up on the path.
Suffering (living is a series of suffering and dissatisfaction)
Gathering (the cause of suffering is anguish)
Extinction (suffering can be destroyed if affliction is destroyed)
Daredevil (there is a way to kill worries)

The final step is to practice Buddhism.
They learn and practice Buddhism based on the principle of the Four Noble Truths.
In other words, Buddhism is a methodology/practical theory of eliminating worries in order to eliminate worries and suffering.

In order to get rid of worries, it is necessary to notice erroneous perceptions, and what is explained for this purpose are teachings such as suffering, impermanence, and selflessness, nirvana silence (nirvana without worry is the ultimate peace), good fortune, sky, and the Eighteen Realms and the Five Gods (God).

Imminent goodness in Buddhism is the direction of eliminating suffering and the direction of weakening affliction.
In Buddhism, let's stop the evil is the direction of strengthening affliction and increasing suffering.
Stopping evil and doing good also means getting rid of suffering by getting rid of worries.

Enlightenment is the elimination of worries.
If you classify them in detail, there are countless afflictions, and if you roughly classify them into 3, they are the three toxic afflictions of greed, anger, and stupidity.
Also, afflictions can be broadly classified into 10 types, and it seems that the order in which the 10 types of afflictions disappear (the order in which one realizes) is also determined.
For example, it seems that only 3 of the 10 types of afflictions (observation, doubt, and abstinence) disappear in the enlightenment of Yoruka (Yoruka), which can be said to be the first stage of enlightenment.
It seems that the worries that have disappeared will never be revived.

The purpose of Buddhism is to “attain Buddhism.”
Becoming a Buddha means becoming a Buddha.

However, if you ask me the essence, does it mean creating yourself without being swayed by a wide variety of suffering in this world?

It might be easier to understand if you say that you are always in a neutral state without being held captive by anyone.

In Buddhism, this is called the “middle path.”

The Buddha's world is endless.
If we were to aim for in this world, would it be until that point...

For example, a school chime sounds.
Keen Korn Korn ♪
If it sounds, it will definitely be “true” for everyone.
Keen Korn Korn ♪
This is true regardless of age, gender, east or west, and regardless of religious denomination.
“Absolutely no one hears Keen Korn Korn ❝ oh I'm a giant ♪❞ to me. Strictly speaking, the sound of an actual chime cannot even be written, and it is in a state where it has not been transcribed or given meaning by humans.
If there were people who sounded like that, it was like they were listening in a world where secondary treatment occurred, in a world unique to them, and not in the world of Buddhism or the legal world.
Keenkorn Kerncorn
All people are equal, and what they see and what they hear will be true.
And there's nothing good or bad about it.
If you go there, it's just that.
At the first point, all humans are equally enjoying the events they have encountered and been in touch with.
This is the common rule (Buddhism) for all.
Everyone is aware of this, and if they become aware of the world “now, here, and that” before they had repeated their own thoughts, they can leave their own unique way of thinking and “be saved.”

Anything is just right now, when I met that thing right in front of me.
It's a world before adding my own likes and dislikes and value judgments.
Everything is just right, this is it this is this.
However, in the real world, when the school chime sounds, many people
Immediately after hearing that sound, they immediately differ within each person “only based on individual thoughts.”
“Oh, is my break time over yet?” “OK, I'll do my best.” “Oh, I'm sleepy.”
This is the human world, which is the second world.
The world of France, which is the first world, is equally Keane, Korn, and Khan Korn 🎶
There's nothing good or bad about it.
Please stay in the First World.
Keane, Korn, Khan, Korn ♪
This is the root and essence of Buddhism.
The essence of this world is Buddhism, and it is fundamental.
It's like I'm drawing, you're also like drawing
The world in front of me is always just like that
We talked about it by comparing it to the sound of a chime.
First of all, there are words in the human world.
First, there are facts in the world of the Buddha.

“Wisdom and Mercy”

1962tron

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

When asked about the essence of Buddhism, I am reminded of the teachings of the “Four Holy Traces,” “The Seven Sacred Pillars,” the “Middle Way,” or “the sky” and “good fortune.”

So, if I were to dare, let me mention “wisdom and mercy.”

It is said that in order to attain enlightenment and nirvana, it is necessary to be fully equipped with the two elements of “wisdom and mercy.”

“Wisdom” is another name, and “hannya,” “hannya haramitsu,” and “mercy” are also sometimes referred to as “convenience” or “good fortune.”

“Wisdom” is the cleverness to understand the truth, and simply, it means understanding “the sky.”

“Mercy” is about cultivating a heart that wants to save all those who are lost and suffering (all sentient beings) and working hard on altruism, good virtue, and merit.

For example, in the Dainikkei, in response to the question of Kongo Satata (the greatest wisdom), “what causes wisdom (supreme wisdom), and what is the greatest ultimate thing,” the Pirushana Buddha answered, “Using (Katsuyoshi) bodhicitta (heart seeking enlightenment [perfection of supreme wisdom)) as the cause, convenience becomes the ultimate thing.”

Enlightenment is attaining supreme wisdom, which is regarded as victory and wisdom, and it is a state where you can fully perceive the “sky” and know everything everywhere.

In order to reach that point, it is important to first become a “bodhi heart” as an initiating mind aiming for enlightenment (completion of supreme wisdom), have a “great sense of sorrow” that wants to save all those who are lost and suffer, and work hard to do good deeds and altruism, so that eventually they can reach enlightenment.

In the humble chart above, I have briefly described the path for understanding the “sky,” but in order to complete the supreme wisdom that is regarded as Katsuyoshitomo and all-knowing, it is necessary to steadily advance both the practice of wisdom and the practice of mercy in order to gradually remove the “affliction disorder” and “intellectual disability” that stand in the way, so I want to work hard on it in order to move towards enlightenment.

Let's work hard together.
