Do people who die by suicide really attain Buddhahood?

Recently, the internet has spread, and it is possible to browse various things about people who have died by suicide. The monks on this site sense the feelings of families who have died by suicide and receive an answer that those who have died by suicide will always attain Buddhism.
However, on other sites, people calling themselves ascetic monks of the Shingon sect write that those who die by suicide will suffer forever. How different are the same Buddhists? I think it's really funny. In one spiritual, people who committed suicide enter a room of reflection and say that if they are satisfied with themselves, they can follow a guide to attain Buddhism. Ehara that appeared on TV is different
Somehow I can naturally accept what this spiritual claims to be like after the death of a person who committed suicide.
The point is, no one has ever died. I don't think there's any way to understand the world after death. In the past, it was said that people who committed suicide would suffer forever in hell, but recently, I have received answers that they can attain Buddhism, probably to ease the suffering of families who have died by suicide. Some monks say they are not taught about earth-bound spirits.
Christianity sucks. I think it's possible to make such a drastic change.
I think this monk is really kind hearted. I don't believe in stupid stories like cults. But what is the truth? Can the spirits of those who have committed suicide peacefully attain Buddhahood?
In reality, how many decades or hundreds of years will we suffer in the human world? I don't want to be soothed by being scolded. Actually, if a person who committed suicide suffers forever alone, I will commit suicide and go save my wife. My soul is all about rescuing my wife. It's different from committing suicide due to one's own selfishness.
In Islam, it's a holy war. I think the destination of the souls of people who died by suicide is divided in half depending on the monks or so-called psychics. Are you going to Hell or the Pure Land of Paradise...
Is what's being said strange? It is now being said that the Buddha is not saying anything good or bad about suicide, or is probably forcibly interpreting it that way, but what is the truth?
Being told to go to the Pure Land of Paradise for comfort makes my heart feel a little at ease, but I think it's a sin to be unstoppably told something different from the truth for the sake of a suicide survivor. In fact, a Shingon sect monk wrote bluntly on the internet that he would go to eternal hell. I want to know the truth. If I were to go to eternal hell, I would commit suicide (to rescue) and save my wife from hell. Please answer.

Now, as for your question, first

> “No one has ever died. I don't think there's any way to understand the world after death.”

Let's start our journey with this unwavering fact.

If it is

“People who die by suicide will suffer forever”
“People who have died by suicide enter a room of reflection, and if they are satisfied with themselves, they can follow the guide to attain Buddhism”
“Go to eternal hell”
“Go to the Pure Land of Paradise”

Who on earth has seen these? You already know that. You've probably thought of it all in a human head.

Then the monk says

“Even those who die by suicide always attain Buddhism”

What is it? From here on, we, who are living now, are asking questions. namely

“What is Buddha?” “What does it mean to attain Buddhism?”

That's the question.

If “attaining Buddhism” is an afterlife, and my soul changes to Pikan and Buddha due to transcendental certainty, then that understanding is probably no different from those described above.

So where do we start? First, think about where you came from. Let's think about what it means to be alive right now. Please also refer to the following.

When Tetsu awakens to the fact of Tetsu's life, when she also awakens to the fact of her wife's life, and when she comes across the truth that there is nothing to expect or fear after her death, it works as the wife's Buddha who awakened herself to that truth

“Oh, my wife definitely attained Buddhism; she taught me the truth.”

I think their hands will go hand in hand.

Now that Tetsu is alive, I think he will meet his wife as a Buddha.

I think death as a Buddhist is a state of desolation where you no longer have any expectations or fears after death. What is annihilation

There are things that are alive, not that there are no dead people. Life is easy, and death is not painful.
There is no life, and no death. Since that nothlessness is not empty, but empty (empty), we can still encounter people in all forms even after ending a formal life in this world.

The death of someone I have a relationship with is the “function of the Buddha” that teaches me that truth.

My wife is not suffering after death. Tetsu's head is suffering.

Let's discover the truth of Buddhism together with Tetsu and his wife.

Towards the end of all sentient beings

When it comes to suicide, there are certainly places where we have to be nervous and careful discussions.

Also, there are places where suicide itself becomes what kind of work and whether it affects reincarnation on a case-by-case basis.

However, what can be said is that many monks are making memorial services for those who have committed suicide.

The memorial service can be a causal relationship (cause and condition) for those who committed suicide to attain Buddhism.

Not only that, as long as there are people who work hard at training, merit, and memorial services for enlightenment in order for sentient beings to be saved, I also know that everyone in reincarnation should be able to give cause and effect for attaining Buddhism.

As long as there are sentient beings with whom there are related people who are working hard at ascetic practices, even Mr. Nyorai will never be abandoned.

I just want to do my best to practice Buddhism as much as possible so that all sentient beings can be cured.

Teach me to live well

Namu Amida.
Good evening. In the end, I think I'll settle down to a place where I say “live, live well.” As you've probably heard, Buddhism is an alternative theory. Essentially, I think it's a one-on-one teaching. The Buddha's story is also often an answer in response to someone's question, isn't it?
In order to lead to “live, live well,” “people who are thinking about suicide” say “stop, live,” and “even if you die, you will be reincarnated.” They will suffer again, so let's live well in our current life.”
Meanwhile, they will explain to people around them, “The Buddha will save you even if you die by suicide.” I think this is to make a settlement in a sense, and to make people look at how they live their own lives and “how to live well.”
The explanation for holding a memorial service is also, “We should do what we should do for those who have died. And I think it's connected to “live, live well,” called “see your own life alive.”
I think the first thing you should do is complete your own life = learn and practice Buddhism.

Be honest with yourself, be sincere in your words, be sincere in your consciousness

If you really talk about this, you'll need a huge amount of background knowledge.

First of all, esoteric Buddhism is by far the broadest field of Buddhism. That's the kind of Aum Shinrikyo that taught Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism on his own and fell into a magical state. Your question is probably the biggest example where you shouldn't think of it as the purpose of the Shingon sect just because one monk said this.
It's good to expand your horizons by coming into contact with various denominations, but if you feel that you don't fit in, it's also important to keep a distance where you don't fit in. If you try to achieve consistency without background knowledge, it becomes a quagmire.

Now, do people who die by suicide really attain Buddhahood?

I am a member of the Zen sect, and this is the Zen view of life and death.

Called the factual reality of various laws, we see the Dainichi Nyorai and Amida Nyorai of the Jodomon in esoteric Buddhism in nature like mountains and rivers in Zen Buddhism. Ink painting was originally drawn by a Zen monk as an ascetic practice of copying Buddhism. It can also be said that the mandala of Esoteric Buddhism, the Pure Land of Paradise in Jodomon is seen in mountains, rivers, and plants in Zen Buddhism.

At that time, here is what I explained in my own way the attainment of Buddhism for the dead.

Here, the “seeing self” (six roots) returns to nature, which is the Buddha, so it can be said that it is converted into a Buddha. However, the Buddha referred to here is not an enlightened person, but rather indicates past, present, and future relationships around the world itself. Even if you say Buddha in a nutshell, it's difficult because there are so many nuances...

Here, in Zen Buddhism, hell is viewed in this way.

In other words, the wife's “Seen Self” (Rikkyo) is inside Tetsu's Regrets. Therefore, Tetsu's way of life and state of mind, which he regrets in the future, will influence his wife's attainment of Buddhism. It's impossible to kill yourself and go save your wife. My current way of life is a holy war and ascetic practice.
The attainment of Buddhism in this case is a nuance close to enlightenment. The former Buddha is called Doshinbutsu, and the latter Buddha is called Shoshinbutsu.

I think this will inevitably happen if you interpret it without departing from the Buddha's teachings. Realistic, right? I've never heard from my mentor's mouth at the University, the Shugyo Dojo, or even from the mouth of my mentor.
Now, instead of calming your heart with interpretations, let's act like a good boy and save your wife and yourself.
I'm sorry this is such a long sentence.
