What is affliction?

The point is to think of yourself as yourself.

Humans recognize themselves and other things as different things,
Joy, desire for something convenient to protect oneself,
They don't like anything that threatens them, and they make them an object of anger.

In contrast, in Buddhism,
“You must be yourself because there are others!”
I'm thinking about it.

You've seen Wikipedia, haven't you?
I watched it too, but it's quite difficult.
But if they go out of their way to look it up, they probably have a great interest in worries.

One of the ideals of Buddhism (the Three Dharma Signs or the Four Dharma Signs) is “nirvana silence.”
Should I say I'm in a quiet state of mind?

When something gets caught in your mind, your heart flutters.
Wouldn't that be expressed as worry?

The mind that gets caught is an “obsession.”
When you're obsessed with something, your mind doesn't stay quiet.

I think we describe that kind of thing as “annoyance.”

I read other people's answers, and I wanted to add a little bit...

Is it safe to say that there are two ways to deal with anxiety?

One is getting rid of worries. The other is to acknowledge that anxiety comes from the side and take it as the truth about oneself.

In the Jodo Shinshu sect, people tend towards distress like the latter.

Even when I try to get rid of it, my worries pop up one after another.
It is the body that causes such distress that is the truth of who I am.
It is Amida's power that saves my body like that.

I'm a Jodo Shinshu monk, so I think like this, but what does Alex think?

Originally, the world did not belong to anyone.
Even before you were born, the universe, the Earth, and the world have been moving unrelated to human intentions, speculations, and desires.
Only humans cause good and bad things with “my gaze.”
Even in everyday life, people with high concentrations of me and people with a strong sense of Oreole are more likely to get angry and worried compared to normal people.
For example, when you expect this to happen, and something different happens, a small amount of suffering is created in your heart.
Speaking of why, it is because in my mind, I have viewed and transformed events into my mind.
In this way, when you let yourself go wild, it's like a dog without a collar called the human heart that just “turns me” into the world.
People who know that horror will make an effort to calm their own hearts.
We will try to reduce the occurrence of Bikinman, which torments the heart called worry, as much as possible.
This is something you don't notice until you become an adult to a certain extent.
Please try walking Buddhism, which is a happy life without worries, by reducing my consciousness, my aura, and my rules so that bad bacteria in the heart and Vikinman in the heart do not proliferate in large numbers.

Humans can notice the faults and failures of others in detail, but when it comes to themselves, they don't notice it easily.
Even when I make a smile, I have a self in my heart where I feel sad, angry, and don't rejoice in the happiness of others from the bottom of my heart, and a sense of jealousy springs up.
I believe that my awareness of having that kind of pain (suffering) will lead to one step in meeting Buddhism (true teaching) (*^_^*)

I also looked at the wiki, but it's certainly a difficult explanation.
For me, worry can be paraphrased as “instinct” and “desire.”

Animal instincts that want to eat, drink, and sleep.
Instincts unique to humans to want to be loved, want something luxurious, and want to be honored.
Also, an instinct that seems like a good thing at first glance is that the family will be healthy and that they will pass the entrance exam.
I think all of this is bothersome.

What should not be misunderstood is the idea that “affliction = evil.”
Without suffering, there would be no scientific or social development, or the survival of humanity.
I think it's also essential for humans.

Even if you try to get rid of it, you can't.
That's what humans are.
It's not about how to live according to desire
It is humans who hold back with reason (mind).
When you die, your body is gone, and only your mind remains.
If you do that, your worries will go away.
How do you get rid of worries while you're alive
I haven't been able to do it yet.

Buddhism has only one purpose. It's the disappearance of “suffering.”

Why do we suffer? This is because I am unable to see the truth due to my worries. That's because my way of looking at things is crazy.
This is because they believe in changing things as eternal, consider satisfying desires as happiness, and are obsessed with an “me” that doesn't exist.

The state where that anguish and suffering has run out is called nirvana (nirvana). This is the goal that Buddhists aim for.

Buddhism clearly distinguishes between good and bad.
Good is something that has no fault and brings good results.
Bad luck is something that is negligent and has bad consequences.

Bad work that bothers, bothers us, and makes us suffer. That's my worry.

“Don't do all the bad things, do all the good things
Purify that heart yourself. This is the teaching of the Buddhas”

To Alex

I looked at Wikipedia, but it's quite difficult

Worry is often explained by “greed.”
I'm worried that it's hard to get rid of
It's a source of suffering.

There are good desires and bad desires for that affliction and greed.
The desire to improve myself and improve myself
Desire to do something for oneself, or to make others suffer in order to do so

If it's something you can do, of course, please have a good desire. Gassho
