Monks on this site

Saomi-sama

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

Certainly, due to immaturity and stupidity, misunderstandings have arisen, intentions have not been easily reached, and we have not been able to receive a very good thank you, and there have been various difficult times until now.

Of course, on the contrary, there were times when I was thankful for encouragement, and there were many things I was happy about.

Anyway, in the case of a bad life, I am working on it as an ascetic practice aimed at further and better answers through reflection and regular verification. Along with admonishing myself for what I'm lacking, I want to work diligently on my training.

I wonder if the change of mind will happen in the course of everyday work...

Every day, I want to renew my mind, face questions, and face myself.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

Thank you for your question.

There are times when nothing can be done...
Maybe so.

I think...
There are many monks on this site, and their answers are based on their own values.
People who are asked the same questions have their own values, and I don't know which answers will resonate with that person's heart.

My focus is on walking the monk path with passion, but was that certainly not an accurate answer? There are times when I feel like it, I'm dumbfounded.
However, I have engraved that thought in my heart, and I am continuing to respond.

Also, on the contrary, I am honestly happy when I receive words of gratitude.

that's right...

Even if the words I uttered didn't arrive now, they might arrive someday.

Even if my words don't reach you, other people's words may arrive.

On the other hand, even if someone's words don't reach them, mine may be delivered.

If my words came through, they didn't save me. My words are just a trigger and a connection.
The important thing is to encounter Buddhism. When you encounter Buddhism, you meet yourself. Whether the questioner can stand on their own feet and whether they can essentially take on the problem is important.

So it's not a good idea to have a superficial satisfaction or an answer that the questioner wants. What about in light of the Buddha's teachings... I think it would be nice if we could think about that kind of thing together.

If you think that I have the power to save people, etc., you'll be more depressed than necessary because things aren't going well, but since I'm looking for a way to be saved together, I feel grateful to be worried together.

No, but... honestly, when you're depressed, you get depressed. But there are many other monks here besides me. I'm not alone. Thanks for that! That's it.

Well, that's right. I can't get words... that happens all the time. But on the other hand, I can answer because I can accept that it's not suitable for me.

Buddha was not the only one with absolute scripture words, and he preached Buddhism with the individuality of ten people. Instead of making the person listening to it match Buddhism, it means that they preached Buddhism according to the other person. This is called an antidote or counterfeit theory.
There are sects as an extension of that, and we all have monks of all colors.

That's why they “don't stretch out” when they don't suit them. No matter how kindly they intend to face it, there are times when it is just an intention and it hurts them as a result. We must keep that in mind. On the other hand, there are various monks of various denominations among them, and there is a sense of security that someone will fit that question. That is where the strengths of Buddhism, which has a broad base, are being utilized by the internet.

Of course, even so, there are times when we can't match well. There's nothing you can do about it. In order to be able to match that even a little better, I think it is necessary to have more and more colorful answer monks.

I am neither an omnipotent savior, nor the only absolute justice. However, it's just another corner of the 33 incarnations of the Bodhisattva... but it's one bodhisattva for all the monks all over the country.
I'm not alone. They were all Buddha's brothers and disciples who looked in the same direction, even though they had never met and whose face or name they didn't know. Somewhere I don't even know it exists, and someone is still devoting itself to it. I have to work hard too. I have the courage to do that. It's called the power of power of the masses, and this is the bond between Buddhists.

Bodhi Heart is a heart that seeks ultimate human happiness, such as peace of mind, enlightenment, and nirvana.
Simply put, people become the best good bacteria.
The Buddha also became a priest in Bodhichito.
Since ancient times in Japan, it has been referred to as Seido, Doshin, and Bodhi Shinto.
Simply put, arousing Bodhicitta means being someone who can help people who have nothing to do with it.
I had no idea how mercy could be drawn from humans.
When I asked Mr. Inoue Nukumichi, whom I respect,
“When you become selfless, you lose yourself or your partner. When a child called myself or my partner passes away, things for the other person become like mine. So, if your partner is in trouble, you can naturally help them.” He told me about that kind of content, and my long-standing questions were cleared up.
When it comes to mercy, many people try to do it as a volunteer, duty, or duty. That's why it won't last. When I thought my own expenses were like that, I just couldn't do it.
However, when I become Kerorin 🐸 (selfless) due to Zezen or Nembutsu Meisho, my consciousness of “mine, mine” is taken away from there, even if it is my body and mind.
Then it became 100% factual first, where the schematics on the seafaring ship question of oneself and others were removed.
If you put America first, citizens first, yourself first, and thought first, then you will inevitably be expedient because you live by human thought.
“Fact first” is revealed through selflessness.
Simply put, I'm always a good old guy, and if I live a messy way of life like me, wouldn't I be Kimo as a human being? Don't say that's gross.
Once you know that there is a more refreshing way to live, it's natural to choose that one.
After that, there are 3000 responses on Tweet, and that's not unreasonable either. It's natural.
It's an experiment of my own bodhicitta and selflessness. I've come to a sufficient conclusion, but as proof to those around me
I'm just proving for myself that “if humans become selfless, they can help people without profit or loss.” The people who made that track record are my ancestors.
It's not like I want to be great, and I don't want to be recognized.
If you also realize your selflessness and have a bodhi heart, you can do bonbon. A tremendous amount of good bacterial enzymes in the body springs up to the point that it can even be destroyed by chopping mountains. Please try it. Please enjoy the zazen session.

I read it.
As you said, there are many things in the world where you can't do anything and can't be saved.
There are many cases where even if you preach with good intentions, you won't be able to hear that voice.
It's really painful and sad when I think about it, and it makes me feel depressed.

Nevertheless, we monks and Buddhists firmly believe that the correct teachings of the Buddha will one day reach people and that all living things will be saved.

After Buddha passed away, Buddhism disappeared in India, the birthplace of Buddhism. In other words, it's gone. Nobody believed the Buddha's teachings anymore.

Nevertheless, the teachings of Buddhism are now once again believed in India, China, Japan, and many other countries.
And it's been re-evaluated.
This is because Buddha's teachings are universal and correct.
There is a sutra where the seven Buddhas were preached. You've probably heard of it
It's a sutra called the “Seven Buddha Dharma Commandments.” It's also on Wikipedia, isn't it?
Shouakumakusa (Shoakumakusa) stop doing all evil
Shuzenbugyō (Shuzenbugyō) does all good
Self-purification (great) purify your heart by yourself
Koresho Buddhism (Zeshobutsukyo) This is the teaching of all the Buddhas

What do you think when you see this sutra?
Isn't this teaching still necessary for us?

I would like to continue teaching people the correct teachings of the Buddha based on this teaching.

“Buddha Heart is this great mercy.”
It means that everything is properly saved by the Buddha's great mercy, or mercy.
I sincerely hope that I will continue to speak with sincerity based on this teaching.

I sincerely pray to the Buddha that the mercy of the Buddha will be brought to you and those around you and saved you.

Thank you very much.

Even when people are face to face, feelings may not be reached. What's more, while there are character restrictions, the current situation is that responses are narrowed down based on a small amount of information to answer with no wisdom. I take it for granted that it doesn't arrive, but there are times when I get unexpected words of thanks for thinking more deeply than my feelings. I think the original role of a temple is to be close to people's worries and suffering. I couldn't be more happy as a monk if I could be useful to someone.

　Thank you for your question. Thank you for making me notice the part that makes me think quite as a human being. I'm a Jodo Shinshu monk, and it's important to listen to our cult first. If you tell the wrong thing by proselytizing, the cult will warn you, so I'm thinking about it and proselytizing. It is almost never immediately conveyed, but I believe that it can be conveyed by listening to it, so I am proselytizing. Just like when we work or study, the idea is that we understand a part of the whole and slowly transfer it. Gassho
