Isn't “The Spider's Thread” by Ryunosuke Akutagawa strange?

Hello.
I helped spiders, snails, and Britney () the other day, and my spider web is currently an elevator made by Schindler, and my name is Charitaro Tange.
I understand very well what you are trying to say.
Buddhism has been introduced to Japan in various forms.
The main reason is that Buddhist culture has spread.
Therefore, the true meaning of Buddhism is finally being reviewed since the present day.
In that sense, I also think the introduction of Buddhism is “in the future.”
Both Christianity and Buddhism were probably ingeniously devised to convey the content of their teachings in an easy-to-understand manner.
Spider webs are one of them.
They've already passed away, so I can't say anything because they have no say to the deceased, but when famous people interpret Buddhism with their own understanding and preach a Buddhist anecdote before it's really clear where they lead in the name that it would be easy to understand, it happens that even if they are saved by people, they are not saved by people.
As for use, by-products are by-products, so the most important thing is that I think it would be nice if you could really save yourself.
The person who preaches is determined to some extent whether the person himself is aware of it or not, the “destination to lead.”
People who don't really understand have no place to lead. So, a problem arises.
Indeed, if the self has been revealed through Buddhism and Buddhism, the destination to properly lead will be determined.
Beyond denominational ideology, it becomes clear that “it is here.”
People who still don't understand that may be at a loss.
Strictly speaking, there are parts that cannot actually be called a Buddhist theory.
However, there are probably people who enjoy it and are familiar with it.
The rest is the difference between whether the level of demand power of those seeking Buddhism is deep or not.
What I'm asking of you is to further transform and sublimate the critical spirit, encounter effective Buddhism with content that can be properly saved, and I think it would be good if you could first learn the teachings yourself that have content that really saves people without being too particular about the position of a lay priest, and then explain it.
There is a lot of criticism of politics and criticism of celebrities in the world.
There are also many critical opinions about Buddhism.
I think it's sweet at that level.
It's about saving the wrong opponent.
Even if we blame that person, it won't be mutual progress, so it would be nice if we could be more clear about where to lead and share their merits.

Hello.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology doesn't seem to like religion, and there are schools that use whistle signals to eat school lunches without putting their hands together and saying “I'll eat it.” Meanwhile, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's “Spider's Thread” is perfectly used in Japanese textbooks. In other words, it can be said that this work has received an endorsement from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology that there are no religious elements.
So I don't think I'll be blindsided by the Buddhist worldview of “Spider's Thread.”
On the other hand, I think this story conveys something important in terms of Buddhism. In the final scene, Kandata shouts, “This spider's thread is mine,” and as soon as that, the thread breaks on the candata. The Buddha never said a single word to the Kandata, “This is your thread.” Kandata insisted that it was “mine” even though I just happened to find the thread. Feelings of foolishness, devotion, and anger cut the thread. Don't you think this goes well with the teachings of Buddhism?
Certainly, if you look at the details, there may be strange places, but when I read the whole thing, I thought it was actually a story explaining important points of Buddhism.

At the end of the day, I think the sutras and novels are interpreted by the people who read them.
I've had questions like this before.

Everyone's interpretation is different, isn't it?
How would you interpret it?

When my kids were little, they worked hard watching Anpanman on TV. From the point of view of an old man who wants to watch the news, he looks back over and over again at what he recorded with ridiculous content, ridiculous pictures, impossible settings... so to be honest, I was sick of it as an adult being in a relationship.

But kids are seriously learning from Anpanman about justice, courage, and that if you're mean to your friends like Baikinman, you'll end up being sanctioned.

Primitive Buddhist sutras, ridiculous and sci-fi expressions, the Mahaya Sutra on Parade, “Bocchan” by Natsume Soseki, “Spider's Thread” by Akutagawa Ryunosuke, songs by Ozaki Yutaka, Nakajima Miyuki, and Wednesday Campanella, lines from Dragon Ball, One Piece, Pokémon, and Yo-kai Watch, whatever, the Christian Bible, the Islamic Koran, the Hindu Vedas, or the Confucian Analects,

I think the question is whether or not it has been heard by you as a [Buddhist theory].

Hello Kz. My name is Shima Daisei
First, Kz said

・What is in paradise is not Buddha but Amitabha
・The fact that the Buddha physically helps people is strange
I think so too.

When I read the question, I was honestly surprised at Kz's depth of understanding of Buddhism
Even though many people think that Buddha, Amida, future Buddha, and past Buddha are the same
“There are people who are studying this much even though they aren't monks,”
It made me a little happy

... However, I don't think “this work instills a false sense of Buddhism in Japanese people”
This is because there is a gap between “monk Buddhism” and “believer Buddhism”
(Of course, no effort will be spared to fill that gap,
(I'm going to talk about it as something that “exists” here now)

Since the beginning of Buddhism, monks have been trying to spread Buddhism.
Over that long history, many books have been written
Some were written by monks, and many were written by believers.

If you're a monk, read a book or the like that explains the sutras written in Chinese
If you are a believer, read a book or the like describing your own religious experiences, etc.
From their respective standpoints, they tried to pass on “Buddhism” to future generations

Under such circumstances, if you look at it from the perspective of a monk or Buddhist scholar,
“If you use this book as a Buddhist book, you will spread a false sense of Buddhism.”
There are more than a few books that say that. I've read it too.

If you take a slightly aggressive example, the relationship between the two is similar to the relationship between weekly magazines and doujinshi
In other words, well-structured and edited publications,
It's the difference between publications created by groups of fellow fans and volunteers

In order to spread abstract concepts like Buddhism, it is necessary to have a consistent “main line”
However, with the main story alone, Buddhism becomes “something only experts can taste and end.”

Therefore, it becomes an entry point of interest in esoteric Buddhism for people who are not experts,
We monks also welcome the fact that there is a book that looks like a spider's web
Your encounter with that book led to what Buddhism is? It aroused interest
It's OK if you go beyond that

It's been a long time, but that's all for my answer to Kz's question

Finally, be sure to try inviting Komatsu Sakyo's version of Spiderweb too!
I think you'll have a different impression
