Can monks see ghosts?

There is a saying “Rokudo (Rokudo).”

Life, which is still in doubt, is reincarnated while being reincarnated and changed to death, and it indicates heaven, humans, shura, beast, demons, and hell.
Ghosts are lives born in Gakido among them.

All of these lives, including myself, have feelings in common.
It's a strong feeling that I want to be happy, I don't want to suffer, and I want to live.

It's about showing compassion, saying “May all life be happy” and “may physical and mental suffering go away.” What you see and what you don't see is not so important here. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Instead of fear (= rejection), why don't you hope that the life you can see and the life you can't see now can all go to a state where there is no suffering... where the dirt of mind called worry (worry) has been removed...

Being able to see and not being able to see is not limited to ghosts.
Could it be that there are an infinite number of things that only you can see
Isn't there one? Ghosts are one of them.
The feeling of always praying, not just when I see it
I think it's the best.

By the way, I'm a ghost, and he always comes in and out of me,
It feels like breathing.
If you are aware that ghosts are “things that were life,”
Not only people, but this world is suffering from many deaths.
It is living by breathing the warmth of death.

I think the warmth of life is a ghost.
It's far from the proper definition of a “ghost” (^^;)

There are people who can see even normal people and people who can't.
The monk is with us. Monks are normal people too.
Highly inspired people are easier to feel,
There are people who don't feel it.
If it's not a spirit that harms people
There is no problem even if you see it.
A human being without a body, only a soul.
There are good people and sometimes bad people.
However, not all of them harm people.

Rui, this is a puzzling question suitable for the heat.

I'm from an ordinary family, but I didn't have any fresh inspiration even before I became a monk. I've never seen anything that looks like a ghost.

When a relative's temple talks about becoming a monk, is it okay for someone without this much inspiration to become a monk? I thought, but the teachings of the Jodo Shinshu were in line with me.

The Pure Land Shinshu explains that all sentient beings are saved by Amida Buddha and become Buddhas in the Pure Land of Paradise. Therefore, in theory, there is no such thing as a “spirit that wanders without being able to attain Buddhism.”

If a ghost appeared right in front of me, I think it would be a Buddha incarnated to tell me something important.
Since I began to think like this, I'm no longer afraid of the main hall or graveyard at night.

... but I'm a little bad at horror movies (^_^;)

There seems to be such a story in disaster-stricken areas.

Excuse me... it's Obon, so please excuse me for just introducing links. wry smile.

is it a ghost... I can't see or feel it, so whatever (^~^;)
The Jodo Shinshu doesn't think of it as a spirit either.

If I could watch something like a drama ⁉ I might be too scared to be a monk (laughs)

Do you feel anything?
If we miss you and make a strong wish, they will surely be by your side (*^^*)

Ghosts should not be thought of as being outside or real.
However, the fact that they have been depicted in the same form since ancient times actually has a deep meaning.

① Hanging long hair means a heart dragging on the “past.”
② Falling hands and seeking far away means a heart with anxiety and fear about the “future.”
③ Not having a foot on the ground means a heart that is not living in the “present.”
There's even a road song called 🎶 think about the past and draw the future here and make the present a nuisance 🎶. Therefore, in terms of original Buddhism, it is not a product of fantasy called ghosts, and there is no use in pictorial affairs, but it was used to explain separation from the mind of hesitation, suffering, and capture (Buddhism, the necessity of seeking enlightenment).
The true meaning of ghosts is the appearance of humans living always possessed by dark thoughts and feelings of sadness in the past, present, and future.
It's definitely not something that exists anywhere.
Everyone in the world, including me, sometimes regrets the past or is frightened by the future, and is possessed by such thoughts (thoughts).
Therefore, it seems that leaving thoughts (feelings) left behind is called “sorry.”
Spirits that have thoughts left behind and cannot attain Buddhahood are actually living people.
Therefore, Buddhism aims to get away from feelings of sorrow and attain Buddhism.
Incidentally, what is a spirit
① Our Living Feelings for Our Dead
The mental effect of you that appears in your heart when you think of someone who has died is called a psychic.
This doesn't exist outside of the mind either.
Calming the spirit also calms one's inner feelings about the deceased. It's not a manga or movie, and where else do spirits exist? (^<^)
② The influence of the deceased
The deceased will continue to live as an influence among the people they were involved with even after they have ended their lives.
Even though the original creators of Doraemon and Sazae-san have passed away, their works are still alive today.
The influence of the dead can also affect living people. That kind of influence is called spirit in the correct sense.
People who can see spirits should be people who can see spirits and lead people's minds in a certain direction with the effects it brings.

First of all, the question is can monks see ghosts, but there are people who can see (those who feel they see) and those who can't (those who don't see). A monk is a way of life as a disciple of the Buddha, and they are residents of a world not directly related to being able to see or not being able to see ghosts. What you do is the same whether you can see it or not. It's the same as the fact that tempura restaurants don't need to have knowledge that the etymology of tempura is Portuguese.

It's a story about what to do when you see it, but does Rui think it would be nice if she could see or see something like that? If something like that were to appear, I'm sure I'd like to talk about something, so calm down and ask, “Do you have any messages?” I think it's a good idea to ask. If we get along well, be sure to listen to the state of the other world (^^)

If you think “listening” or “being good friends” is ridiculous, then in Buddhism, it's fine if you put your hands together and recite your finger, mantra, or nembutsu. In the case of Shinto, it's clapping.

I'm sorry, but I can't write these details here because there are many sects that have been handed down by word of mouth from teachers and monks. Please ask the chief priest of a nearby temple to tell me directly. If it's not a busy time, they'll let you know right away on the spot.

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

Until now, we have answered several questions about “spirits” and “spirits” (http://hasunoha.jp/questions/126).

My basic policy is that “spirits” should be treated as “ignorance,” but even if they exist, I know that it is important to direct a heart of compassion so that they can reach a state without suffering, similar to Kazuko Amano.

The following is an excerpt from “Buddha's Words: Suttanipata Nakamura Genji Iwanami Bunko” 1, Serpent Chapter 8, Mercy

“What a person who is in line with the ultimate ideal should do after reaching this state of peace is as follows. They must be capable, straightforward, correct, well-spoken, gentle, and unimaginable. They know enough, live on only a small amount of food, have few chores, their lives are also simple, their senses are quiet, intelligent, and they don't devour various (people) in their homes. Never commit vile acts that are criticized by other experts. Every living thing should be happiness, peace, and comfort. No matter what kind of living creature, whether it is frightened or strong, completely long, large, medium, short, fine, massive, visible, invisible, living far away, living nearby, already born, or whatever you want to be born in the future, whatever lives in the future, is happy. You must not deceive others in any way. However, no matter where you are, you must not look down on others. Don't hope to cause pain to each other by feeling angry in an attempt to annoy them. Just as a mother would protect her only child even if she risked her life, she should have an inexhaustible (compassionate) heart for all living and living things like that. Also, we should show immense mercy to the whole world. Above, below, and on the side, no obstacles, no grudge, no hostility (mercy should be done). As long as you don't sleep while standing, walking, sitting, or lying down, hold on to this (compassionate) attitude. In this world, this state is called a sublime state.” ... this is the end of the quote.

To Rui

To be honest, I see it quite often.
But I'm never afraid.
I think what you see has meaning.
If you have a chance to watch
Why was it visible, and what do you want this person to do
I want you to think about that.

If you don't understand, talk to a monk. Gassho
