When I die I go to hell

I'm sorry. I noticed later that I had asked the same question twice.
This is true.

My school is a Buddhist school.

According to the monk's teaching at school, if you do good deeds while you're alive, you can go to the Pure Land of Paradise.

I believed it and regretted that I had hurt people with my little remarks and actions until now, and I was thinking of repenting and apologizing for it once again, and when I tried to do good deeds that would benefit people even a little bit, and I was doing various research on how to become a good person and whether that person cannot be saved once they have committed a crime, etc., I happened to see in an article I saw that Japanese people all went to hell, and I ended up watching it That's it.

Then there were other levels of hell written there, such as if you kill insects, etc., and going to hell, which is even scarier if you drink alcohol.
It was written about things that monks knew, etc.

I think it's bad to kill insects these days, and now I haven't even killed mosquitoes, but until now I've killed them.

Until now, we have believed that if we repent our sins and do good deeds, we can become people who are liked by others and that we can go to the Pure Land of Paradise, and we thought that hell is a place for people who live to reflect on murder or hurt people without any calm regrets.

But I was reminded of such a fact, what should I do?
Do we have to live with fear of going to hell where we can't escape no matter what happens, even if we do good things day by day?

What were the teachings you've been taught at school until now?
Even though I cry right away, I'm so shocked and unbelievable that I don't even shed tears

Hell and Paradise = two sides

What do you think of when you think of hell?
When you think of paradise, what kind of image do you have?

Actually, hell and paradise are in the same place.
It's just a little different.

There is a story like this. That's a rice story.

It seems that the same thing is served in Hell and Paradise.

What is slightly different from us is that “chopsticks are so long” in Hell and Paradise
It seems. Everyone is cramming around a very big round table
They are made to sit down, and it seems that the meal will be placed near the center.
Unfortunately, I don't know that until I die,
There seems to be a difference in how to eat that meal between hell and paradise.

Somehow do people in hell use those long chopsticks
I will try to eat it. However, use a string for the buttocks of the chopsticks
They seem to be tied up, so I can't grab a meal at all.
When I try to grab it somehow and bring it to my place, next to
People are trying to take it away. So, it becomes a fight.
This repetition makes for a long time.

So what's different about paradise?

In paradise, a meal caught with those long chopsticks is within reach
I'll give it to someone. I won't bring it to my place.
While I'm doing that, someday someone will put a meal in my mouth
Can you give it to me. And my stomach will be full.
Hell and paradise are actually the same place.
The only difference is “how to spend time” there.
More importantly, what is called a map of hell is of a living person
image footage. Moreover, it is a video of “people from hell subjective,”
The image of paradise is actually exactly the same thing.
It's a difference in how I feel.
Why do you want to do something good while you're alive
This is for practicing and studying “How to spend your time where you are now.”

Even if it's in the same place, the way people feel is completely different.
It's the same thing in Hell and Paradise.
By working hard, the place I am now is paradise and more
It's going to be a wonderful place.
Even so, you might think it's kind of scary, so
May Noeru-sama's heart be at ease,
I will do my best to pray for you. Namu.

Buddha who saves everything

Noeru-san goes to a Buddhist school, doesn't she?
I also answered the previous question “Spirits Attack Living Humans.”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/201

Well, I had heard from a monk at school that if you do good deeds, you can go to the Pure Land of Paradise, but I was surprised that “all Japanese people go to hell” was written in an article I suddenly saw.
You won't know what kind of sentence it is until you look at it in its entirety, but it seems a bit extreme.

Certainly, in Buddhism, there is a rule called “immortality,” according to which the life of a living thing must not be taken. I understand that this not only directly takes lives, but also prohibits eating what someone has killed, eating rice and vegetables, and using chemicals and shampoos made after animal experiments.

... you can't protect it. You can't live, can you?
If there are only commandments you can keep if you make an effort, arrogance may be born there when you keep everything.
If you have a commandment you can't keep, you will spend your days reflecting on yourself without being complacent, and you will make endless efforts again.
I think this attitude is important, but what do you think?

A monk from the Heian to Kamakura period, there is a person named Shinran.
From a public perspective, this person was a serious, studious, and respectable monk.
However, I was very strict with myself and thought, “Hell is the only destination I can go to.”

However, I met a master named Honen, and was taught that it was a Buddha called Amida who saved those who had no choice but to go to hell, so I turned back to it. Devotion means believing and entrusting everything.

Maybe we have no choice but to go to hell.
Amida may be able to save us like that.
It's something you don't understand until you've finished your life.
I've been attending a Buddhist school, so be sure to ask your teacher about Amida.

This world is the world after (someone's) death.

The world after death is the fantasy and imagination of people in the olden days, and there is no scientific proof that this will always happen.
It is clear that the image of the other world also differs from country to country.
Don't worry, the stories you've heard were also created by people from a long time ago. roughly.
So why is there such a story? This is where it starts.

② There really is a world after death and paradise in hell. It's...
It's about this world right now.
This is because this world probably continues today even after someone's death.
This world will continue even after you die. (Try to feel it)
Strictly speaking, this world is “the world after someone's death” who has already died, right?
Therefore, while we are alive, we must live well in this world that we all share.
Thanks to Buddha A and the people who made inventions that saved everyone, the world after those people passed away has been blessed with various benefits. Mind and society are pure paradise.
Contrary to B, people who have committed murder or major crimes continue to be stabbed in the back finger even after the death of the person themselves, let alone their families, and are living a painful and painful hell-like life. My mind and environment have become hell.
So, once you're born into this world, it doesn't mean you should just die whatever you want.
This is because even after your own death, a huge impact remains on the people around you.
When the number of bad people increases, it really becomes hell.
The idea of hell was also a misconduct prevention measure (teaching to prevent bad things) created by Buddhism, which has also played a role in human education in order not to let people do bad things as much as possible while they are alive.
As an explanation to guide people's minds in a good direction, “If you do bad things, your heart will be very painful, you will have dark feelings, and you won't be able to get out even if you want to get out!” I named that kind of painful heart hell.
In Buddhism, there are various forms of teaching and guidance according to these people.
The idea of hell is one of them, and since I want you to be a good person, it tells me not to let you do any more bad things.
Why don't you think of it as a life lesson for leading to better people in the future?

I'm talking about the Jodo Shinshu directly, so it might be tough.

Amida Nyorai built the Pure Land of Paradise in order to save everyone.
Of course, this includes newborn babies.

In order to welcome everyone to the Pure Land,
What method (ascetic practice) can be used to get to the Pure Land is important.
If you set conditions such as zazen meditation, nembutsu, etc., that moral good deeds are necessary, etc.
Babies can't do it.

Therefore, Amida decided to welcome each person to the Pure Land on her back.
Therefore, all people can be unconditionally saved by the Pure Land regardless of their way of life, death, or behavior.
We've already decided to go to the Pure Land, so it's fine.

Well, now I'm fine,
The question is, can we keep that in mind and live our lives with peace of mind? ,
Don't you feel safe without believing it? That's it.

It's a matter of each person's heart,
Amita-sama has seen through that too.
And the method that Amida took
“I will keep calling for sentient beings (the object of salvation) until they notice Amida's salvation.”
That call is “Namu Amida Buddha,” which we speak out loud.
What is “Namu Amida Buddha”
Amida (Muryoju) = anytime,
Amida (infinite light) = everywhere,
Namu = I'm enveloping you.
This is a message from the Buddha.
I don't know if it's my current life, my next life, or my next life,
Amitaba-sama kept calling out until I noticed this, and it's a root comparison with me.
Well, Amitaba-sama is definitely good at it.

The depiction of hell is detailed in a book called Genshin Osho's Collection of Osho's Osho's Osho's Osho
It was written as a threat, so to speak, in order to advance the Pure Land.
A parent says to their child, “I won't feed a bad kid!” It's a loving word.

The above is the answer in the Jodo Shinshu sect.
There are many other points of view.

In the first place, Buddhism teaches for peace of mind.
If you're worried about hell and uneasy,
All that knowledge should be thrown away.
But that's because knowledge isn't enough.
What did the gentle and kind Buddha want to say by talking about hell?
It's fine even in the Noeru-san style, so imagine it.

Ask your teacher to ask you how you feel right now. It's going to be a learning experience.

Buddhist teachings being learned. Ask your teacher to ask you how you feel right now.
That's why I think they'll tell me that salvation is there (*^^*)

It's scary to think that you'll be dropped into hell.

Every day, we live while taking the lives of various living creatures. Also, depending on the circumstances, they can do all kinds of horrible things, and they have no choice but to go to hell.
Because I am this kind of person, the Buddha's mercy is blessing me if I don't let go. If all sentient beings (living and living things) must be saved and never separated, it is a function of throwing away ingestion.

That's why even we can always go to the Pure Land of Paradise with Amida's work ◎

Three Treasures of Return, Desperation, Bodaishin, All Evil, the Promise of the People, Purify Yourself

Noeru-sama

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi.

http://hasunoha.jp/questions/204

I would like to answer this question in conjunction with the above questions.

In Buddhism, this is really difficult, but since it deals with causal retribution theory, reincarnation theory, and karma theory, it is hoped that people refrain from bad behavior as much as possible and strive for good deeds. I have mentioned this a little bit in my humble response to the following question.

Question “Who is someone who doesn't speak ill or complain”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/113

“All Evils, the People, the Good, the Magistrate, Purify Yourself, and the Intent Are the Buddhists”

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/七仏通誡偈

The basis of Buddhism is not to do bad deeds, to work hard for good deeds, to purify the mind, and keep it pure.

To that end, it is desirable to first know the reality of this suffering, then understand that there is always a cause for that suffering, and that if that cause can be solved, suffering can be destroyed, and then walk firmly along the path (Eightfold Path and Middle Path) to resolve that cause.

These are the “Four Sacred Pillars” of suffering, gathering, destruction, and the road, which is said to have been preached in Shakyamuni's Hatsuzen Falun.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/四諦

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/八正道

For us, in order to practice Buddhism, we are first required to return to the Three Treasures.

It is a devotion to the Buddha and his teachings (Buddhism) and the monks (including the forefathers) who protect and practice those teachings.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/帰依

Also, it is important to awaken a “sense of departure,” where you want to leave this world of suffering at any cost, and then a “bodhi heart,” which wants to seek enlightenment.

Regarding Bodhi Heart, I hope you can refer to the following.

“Bodhi Mind Theory”
http://t.co/aSBtLQQI

You will be required to refrain from bad behavior and work firmly on good deeds while maintaining a strong sense of devotion, and a sense of devotion. In particular, let's not fall into the reincarnation of the three evils (beast, hunger, state of hell, and boundary), and aim for enlightenment so that the next life will also be associated with Buddhism, so let's work hard together.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

The preacher tells lies like he's been watching.

 Noeru-san, I don't know which article you read and think such a thing, but from my point of view, the world after death is something that living people don't understand. “All Japanese people go to hell...” I want to say it in an article that says something like that. What would happen if Japanese people went to hell? Hell may turn into paradise due to the Japanese people's humility, politeness, and spirit of compromise. It's not paradise, but it might be a nice place to live. Just as overseas countries have shown interest in the actions of Japanese people, the residents of Hell may also show some interest. If Noeru-san goes to hell, I'll go with you, so maybe don't worry?!
But I think Noeru-san's behavior right now is a good thing, but I'd like to say that it's not Buddhism that they do it to go to paradise or that they don't want to go to hell. We monks don't do good deeds because we go to paradise. I do it because doing good deeds is the Buddha (Buddha)'s teaching. However, although there are precepts, it is not specifically indicated whether it is good or bad to do this.
At the time of the Sumatra earthquake, a Southeast Asian male monk who was on his way to help was criticized by other monks for helping a woman caught in the rubble. This is because there was a commandment of Southeast Asian monks that one should not touch the opposite sex. However, there are times when it is impossible to save lives, so I was given special forgiveness, but will this monk fall to hell by breaking that precept?
Noeru-san, before worrying about believing extreme stories or absurd stories one by one, researching whether there are any stories with opposite opinions, or what the origin of those stories is, until they are satisfied is an essential study for teens, and I think that is what students are. This is something you can only do while you're a student, and it's no exaggeration to say that when you go to college, you only study like this. First, pursue it yourself. Just because I go to a Buddhist school, I'm worried about Noeru's future if the answers are always Buddhist.
Finally, people are not reincarnated. Nor is it Buddhist thought. Please find out for yourself why.
 

First of all, thank you for the relationship that made you notice this

To Noeru-sama

Do you do good deeds to go to the Pure Land of Paradise in the first place?
As a result of doing good deeds, I think we will be able to go to the Pure Land of Paradise.

Now that I've realized this first, it's important from now on.
What you've done up until now is no matter how good your actions are, your sins won't turn into trouble.
Rather than that, isn't it more important to turn negative into positive?

The Buddha is watching that act somewhere. Gassho
