To die unexpectedly

 Is the weight of life the same as a life that suddenly dies one day due to an unexpected accident or accident, and death from illness after aging or fighting illness?

When you die unexpectedly, life feels so light.

If the situation had changed just a little, you wouldn't die, and you might not even notice that danger.
They say life is precious, but I think it's unreasonable that precious things are so easily influenced.

If you are happy during your lifetime, can you say that you have a happy life at any end?
Or will I end up with a sad life?

The difference in weight?

What does life mean? life? heart? Does it have weight? I don't really understand when I think about it.
That's because it has no substance.
We exist because of the function of life. And they are alive and being kept alive.

They eat meat and fish, eat vegetables, and live for life. There are also dishes like veal 🐂 nantoka, which uses life from a young age. Vegetables are also delicious, and I eat them when I'm young.

I don't know the weight of life, but they all work beyond human control within the function of the law, right? It's a human thought, and I can't say good or bad.

That's because

I read it.
I think all of our lives are ephemeral. And I think all of them are precious.

Also, I think it depends on how you look at it, but I think living the life you've been given moment by moment is a happy thing.
They each had a relationship, each received a precious life, and they are here and now.
So you and I are living together.
Nonetheless, as time passes, your life and mine will also change.

Seen from the Buddha's point of view, any kind of life is probably equally precious, and since the Buddha saves all lives, I think the Buddha's mercy is true equality.

If so, it's about how we live this day, isn't it?

Our lives may be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or a week from now, this year may be a year, or may be 5 or 10 years, or 30 years.
No one can clearly understand that.
No matter how much science or medicine develops, I don't know.

Please live a truly healthy and fulfilling life every day from now on. That's because it's a life I've been given so hard.

There is equality beyond “karate”

That person's life isn't the only way to greet them for the last time. I think it's not the person who died but the person who was left behind who looked at that person's entire life pessimistically depending on how it ended up.

Life is ephemeral and can be easily influenced, but it is probably not precious precisely because such things are possible now.

At the beginning of Ibun Miki

“It's a personal offense, and I've already accepted it. Buddhism is hard to hear, and I'm already listening to it.”

There is a word. If you get a chance, check it out.

Now that we can have something we are thankful for, let's listen to that fact together in Buddhism and wake up.

I think it is not life itself that assigns superiority or inferiority after precious equality due to long, short, and various relationships.

Everything depends on cause and effect

Asagao

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

Everything depends on causality (cause and condition).

What is considered good in the world, what is considered bad, what is considered good in Buddhism, and what is considered bad all depends on cause and effect.

Buddhism is teaching to better adjust the flow of these causes and consequences.

As Yoshitake Grammo also said, how to make use of our current lives and improve the flow that will continue into the next world is not a question of long or short, but a matter of quality.

By all means, I want to keep learning and practicing Buddhism for the better.
