Hello, thank you Maru.

In nature, it is one of the truths that the weak eat the strong. The natural world has evolved while maintaining balance within it.
However, only humans have learned that mercy and love can lead a happier life, and it has taken thousands of years to create a society where the weak can live together, and now it exists. Also, I think it will continue to evolve.

So, as Mr. Kinshimaru points out, not all human societies live by eating the weak and the strong. At least in Japan, when Japanese weak people live, it can be said that it is a society that is kind to the weak compared to the rest of the world.

Now, even in such a society, living is still tough, so you have to find a way to live on your own.

First, it is necessary to determine the abilities and environment of Mr. Thanksgiving, and then set up a way of life and work suitable for Mr. Shinakimaru. Then, if you can find a job suitable for it, if you can't find it, lower the hurdles even further and search. Even so, if you can't find it, lower the hurdles even further... it's natural for the weak, but it's also difficult for the strong. I have no choice but to look for a job I can do.

In the process, there are organizations that support the weak, so it would be a good idea to expand the work area you can search by consulting.

My writing teacher had five physical disabilities and could only move his right arm. But he was a person who made use of his right arm to find a job writing sentences, and lived a splendid life. That person's habit is that when I was born, I thought no one was as unhappy as me, but thanks to my disability, I found the value of one right hand and led me to the path of writing sentences. If I had a healthy body, I wouldn't have found this job. Since people are born, they always have a “living role.” People told me that it's a journey to find it.

There is sure to be a path suitable for you, too, thanks Maru-san. Please work hard to find it. It's OK to exhale when it's weak. That's because it's proof that it's wrong. Please talk to someone you can trust about that consultation. Of course, if you don't have one, you can talk to Hasunoha, but it is also true that it is difficult to give accurate advice on the internet. Counselors are also available at government offices and social welfare councils, so it's a good idea to consult with them. The first thing to do is to have a third party look at your position.

Please do your best. Gassho

According to the Jodo sect, it is said that if anyone takes Nembutsu, they can be born in the Pure Land of Paradise in the next life.

In the Pure Land of Paradise, everyone can live together while listening to the teachings of Amitabha Buddha.
On the contrary, it seems that residents of the Pure Land of Paradise don't even have a sense of distinguishing themselves from others.
Also, residents of the Pure Land of Paradise have the supernatural power to remember past reincarnation memories and memories of all previous lives. You can access big data from past worlds, right?
In paradise, after understanding all past disputes, you can make up without worrying about the past.

In other words, even if you fight like enemies and allies in this world,
If you pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise, you can make up without a grudge.
The battle between the weak and the strong in this world is the last game in this world.
How about fighting a game without grudge in a dignified manner while keeping within the scope of the law and, if possible, to the extent that the Five Commandments of Buddhism can be protected?
There was a Hollywood movie called The Last Samurai, and the Japanese samurai that appeared in it bowed with respect to the bodies of enemies they had defeated in battle.
They have not forgotten their respect for each other as humans and samurai, even if they appear to be enemies.
This may be Japanese culture, but I think it is also influenced by Buddhism.

It is not outer peace, but outer peace will naturally be achieved by realizing peace of inner self.
Calming one's own thoughts by calming one's own thoughts = determining that the occurrence of thoughts becomes selfless, the mind becomes quiet.
Even if you go into a quiet mountain to seek peace of mind, wouldn't you be attacked by animals? Will I be able to survive? What should I do with the food?
I'm not quiet.
Peace of mind is not something you seek in a quiet space or outside; the way you seek peace as required by your inner self is first and foremost yourself.
Why do you think people do zazen or meditate in the first place?
I think there is no better way to achieve serenity of one's own mind than to look at it as if one has one's own heart.
Let's say thank you Maru is a ship.
The stormy waves of life, old age, illness, and death are rushing in.
The way we perceive that wave is important.
There's no way to avoid it.
A ship sinks if it doesn't float above the waves.
Even if you don't like waves, that is the ocean in the first place.
It is the heart that dislikes the waves of life, old age, illness, and death that makes it a problem.
In the first place, waves are neither good nor bad, and they are engaged in wave activities that go beyond human good or bad, likes and dislikes, and opinions.
The activity of the waves has never stopped for a moment, even though it is said that the waves are good, the waves are still there.
What makes the noise is not the rough waves outside, but the waves of one's own heart.

It is only when the waves of one's heart are calmed down that a mirror that reflects reality as it is appears.
Zazen meditation is the shortest distance for that purpose.
The shortest distance to achieve zazen meditation is to determine that your thoughts are not something you have created, and spend time without touching your thoughts.

No matter what kind of society you are in, when compared to people, there are various things, such as someone's income, career advancement, having fun, and being in restructuring.

Even when entering a company or school, there is an exam and there are those who pass or fail.
It would be a big deal if everyone were accepted. I don't like fighting, but I can't live without myself accepting that reality but not making it a problem.
It's hard to fail the entrance exam, but that's where you find a new path again. Should I study for another year or go to another school? No matter what decision you make, people who don't make it a problem are refreshing.

You can also enjoy people's career advancement ^ ^
I don't want to do anything that violates the law, so if I don't do that, I don't want to kick them down. However, if you pass the entrance exam, you may have kicked one person down depending on your expression.
Actually, it wasn't kicked down; it was just acknowledged.
It can be said that a heart that can simply accept such facts as facts is the path to happiness.
