About the Buddha's teachings

You yourself suffered, and you found a way out of your suffering. And when I looked around, there were people who were suffering like themselves in the past. I think that's why I helped (tried).
I understand that this is because the teaching of non-attachment was thought to be the basis for saving the world.

Maybe it's because I painfully understand the suffering of others. It's a mentality where you don't want others to do things you don't like.

Humans are picky creatures. I want more things I love, and I want to keep them forever. I want to run away from what I don't like, I want to stay away from it. As long as it has this function, they become obsessed with wanting to have “life and life” for a long time, and they resist wanting to escape “old age, illness, and death.” I think they realized that true happiness would not come to humans unless this was solved.

Because the cause of suffering is obsession.

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

“Why does the Buddha help others who are suffering?” ・・

Is it because of the will of mercy...

I think it wasn't good because I was the only one to enter nirvana, and only I was saved.

Also, in a sense, enlightenment is also a state that can only be obtained because sentient beings exist, and it is also said that they did not abandon sentient beings who are very grateful as guides. Or maybe there was a feeling that countless mothers in past generations were rewarded to those who were mothers because they were now (reincarnated) sentient beings.

Furthermore, the other one is “Brahma's request.”

There was a will of mercy to take pity on sentient beings, but when they were hesitating that this enlightened teaching would not be understood by anyone, Bonten appeared, and was asked to explain the teachings.

Bonten said, “There are also sentient beings who can understand your precious and appreciated teachings.”

Therefore, it was decided that Buddha was finally preached the Dharma, saying, “If you use counterfactual theory and convenience according to your opponent, you may be able to preach it.”

“How did the Buddha try to save the world without deviating from the teaching of unattachment?” ・・

The term “unattached” is quite difficult to understand accurately until you understand “luck” along with “sky,” and all things are “empty,” have no substance, and nothing is made up of independent existence, but if they are things or things that exist, they always depend on something else, and explain that as “luck.”

However, as if there is an entity beyond the manifestation of existence, it is perceived as something that is made up of independence without being dependent on anything else, and that is denied as an “obsession.”

Also, by correctly understanding how it is established as “good fortune,” they simply explained the teachings for striving for a good cause relationship in order to reach enlightenment, assuming that good results are also possible depending on good causality (cause and condition).
