Do spirits exist? What happens if I die again?

Hello.

They often do psychic shows in the summer.
Considering that such programs are running, I think there are many Japanese people who believe in spirits.

But I have a question about psychics.
Most religions acknowledge the existence of spirits, and it is said that every person becomes an immutable and immortal spirit when they die.
However, when that happens, the world becomes full of spirits.

Meanwhile, Buddhism denies immutable and immortal spirits and explains that everything reincarnates.
In Buddhism, the soul dwells in what reincarnates, and is the idea that spirits cannot exist alone?
If that is the case, the soul is a material entity dependent on the body.

Also, the Buddha said that if you break free, it will be nothing.
What exactly is the situation of becoming nothing?
Does it indicate a state where you are unconscious, such as when you are sleeping?
Or is it about going to another dimension?

I was wondering, so I'd like you to let me know.

Buddha is “ignorant”

Hello Kz.

You want to know about spirits?
Today's Buddhism creates a worldview based on the assumption that spirits exist.
But the Buddha explained that spirits, the fruits of the universe, etc. are “unrecorded.” In other words, “I won't explain.”
This is because only dead people know who are there or not. This is because it cannot be proven scientifically. There is no point in enlightenment even when dealing with such issues. If you think about that, I will tell you to live the right way you are now. In that sense, the Buddha is a reasonable person.
However, ordinary people cannot reach that level of rationality. Therefore, later Buddhist monks aimed for peace of mind by using existing worldviews, views of death, and psychic theories as a convenience. That's why it's impossible to analyze it scientifically. That is the world of faith. If you think logically, you won't be able to believe.

Please feel the splendor of the Buddhist faith regardless of logic. Gassho

I read it.
Well, I'm not sure; I think that's the answer right now.

I often saw a lot of spirits when I was a kid, and I left the ghost body and wandered all over the place. And I felt that my obsession was causing me to suffer as a source of various suffering and loneliness.
I feel that such thoughts are fragments of memories I felt in past lives.
Therefore, I have a strong feeling that I have been repeatedly reincarnated and died countless times until now.
There are probably fragments of such memories in your unconscious mind.

Please take a close look at yourself.
I think there's always a trace somewhere in your memory.

If we can accept all of our completely perfect hearts as they are without any bias, if we ride the waves in this transition, we will be able to attain Buddhism, that is, become Buddha, and if that happens, we will move away from any hesitation and move away from reincarnation.

I don't know what's going to happen there.

Please do your best to practice Buddhism too.

Where is that head that makes you think about reincarnation, after death, and another dimension.

Rescue everyone's lost heart, save me!
your lost heart will turn to your heart of enlightenment.
That's us, Hotoke's rescue squadron “Satranger”! (Don't you understand)
Hey, I'm going to make you lose your mind right away!
huh? a soul? Is this world full of spirits?
It's blue, you! That spirit is “that heart you think is somewhere. Shouldn't “mental effects” be called spirits or spirits!?
If you do that, all the psychic problems in this world will be solved, and good attainment of Buddhism!
Recon is the mental effect that occurs when you think about someone who has passed away, and the mental function itself that occurs when you think about their existence. Even the influence of great people from the past is Rakon. Even the family mottos and rules from generation to generation in your house are psychic. However, it's not an external spirit; it's an inner reacon. Rakon alone starts up and is carried in the brain at a speed of about zero commas per second. That's why even living people have effects on each other. That's the real ghost. People in the world who say spirits or ghosts don't understand this kind of reason, so it's a real tatari phenomenon created by being possessed by ghosts called selfish delusions called their own selfish delusions. You are probably a character whose identity is still unknown, called me. You must be thinking, “I'm sure it must be this kind of guy.” lost! What I think is your racon, Q ball, konpoi poi kokodama!
Therefore, even after death, influence and effects remain on people living in this world.
There really is a world after death! It's about this world, this world!
You must live a strong life in this world, even after your Ka-chan and To-chan die!
Defeat the strongest monsters in the world, the final bosses called Shorobyoshi and Sick Hack! for that!
Where are the enemies? Honno-ji Temple? Anon-ji Temple? That's not true! It's your lost heart!
As long as you reveal yourself in Buddhism and don't meet your true self, you'll be reincarnated like that in this world for the rest of your life!
So if you give up on Buddhism, you won't be reincarnated into the world with all your thoughts and ideas, and this is how you can fly to the sky of the Pure Land of Paradise now with lots of amusement parades!
You should also reveal your own Kyudama, Kokodama, and have enough power to make Rakon attain Buddhism without being possessed by Rakon.
I'm going to burn it in this world! Your Bodhi Heart!
I will save myself! And save someone in me! That is Buddhism. You and I shake hands! (Gassho)

Heart Inheritance

Kz-sama

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

Regarding the existence of “spirits,” as Mr. Tomoyasu Somekawa also said, in Buddhism, we are basically in the position of “ignoring” (there is no benefit in discussing them), but if we dare to state it as a close being, we can think of a “meaning body” (meaning body), where minute consciousness and minute mind, which are not affected by the rough body or rough consciousness we have now, can show a shape like a shadow of the body.

Of course, even if there is such a thing as “intention,” it is not something that is permanent and eternal, but it will be “auspicious” where it is dependent on others, for example, due to causation (cause and condition).

In any case, in the reincarnating continuum of mind (mental inheritance) (of course, it is something that is auspicious when emptied), it is possible to move towards a good destination by adjusting good causes and relationships.

In order to move towards that good destination, of course, in the case of Buddhism, it is necessary to learn and practice teachings to adjust the causal relationships leading to enlightenment and nirvana.

Even if we have “spirits” as we imagine them or not, there is no change in the fact that mental inheritance continues to be reincarnated depending on cause and effect even after death.

Therefore, I think the intention of Shakyamuni is that discussions about spirits are futile, and that it is the intention of Shakyamuni to work firmly on methods (Buddhism) to adjust good causes and relationships anyway.

If released, it becomes “nothing”...

In the case of Mahayana Buddhism, enlightenment is attained based on several vows, such as the Bodhisattva commandment, etc., so basically, “Dharma” and “color body” (revenge/response) as the body of the Buddha and Nyorai can be obtained by broadly dividing them towards “the salvation of all sentient beings,” which are always present in that vow.

So, at least, I don't think it will become complete “nothing” until everyone is saved. (Of course, even if all are saved, there is no denying the possibility that the corporation remains.)
