Do you think machines also have Buddha nature (or something like a soul)?

Hello.

Since ancient times, Japanese people have believed that everything has a soul.
There is the custom of a “needle memorial service,” where a memorial service is made for needles that have been used, and a “fudezuka” where brushes that have been used are stored.

I work for the local fire brigade, and I inspect fire engines and pumps 3 times a month, and after many years of inspections, I feel like I'm talking with fire engines and pumps. So I can understand the expression “attachment” very well. A few years ago, I had my old pump or fire truck replaced with a new one, and when I broke up with my old fire engine or pump, I felt as painful as when I broke up with my friends.
It's often said that computers and the like “see people.” Depending on who uses it, it works well or stops working, and it makes me feel like I've been selected by the computer (laughs)

I don't know about Buddhism or whether there is Buddhism, but I personally feel that things have a soul.

When it comes to Buddhism, almost all books say “humans have stamashii”
It is translated as “there is Buddhism in life.” I think that's a mistake.
The term “total Buddhism” is also
When translated as ❝ all beings have Buddha nature ❞, the strange “Tamashii Buddha Sex Thought” begins.
That's not what Buddhism means,
It should be translated as “having knowledge is Buddhism.”
They say that all existence, the appearance of things, is a way of being that is different from the way people think of the Buddha.
I can see things right now. That's ❝ Buddha Sect ❞.
The Buddha doesn't seem to have a human opinion.
A plain reality before it is initiated by fantasy based on human thoughts, thoughts, and thoughts.
The world originally possesses quiet beauty (nirvana, exuberance, Buddhism) away from the way humans think, and humans bring something called their own thoughts into it. That's why it becomes a filter, and you can't directly experience the world.
The person who experienced it firsthand for the first time was Buddha.
There are things in this world called Buddha like spirits and tamashii...
Please take it as saying that every manifestation of a thing is a “Buddha image” (what it is before human views are mixed).

Now, apart from that, machines, which are important tools for work, are indispensable for you. No matter how much a machine it is, who made it? It's human.
And it was this Earth that provided the raw materials for the parts of that machine. earth. Earth is a blessing from heaven and earth.
How many billion years ago did this substance exist?
There, large trends, deep history, and warm “relationships, relationships, and relationships” should be discovered. I'm currently typing this on my computer, but if I don't say it's a computer in a nutshell, this box with lots of useful buttons, a bright screen, and a very convenient board where you can tell the other party what you want to say without pigeons or horses running is really really convenient. I think the person who made it is a very amazing person. because it's a machine anyway...? no no. The person who made it is also a person who exists somewhere.
If you think about it this way, of course, your feelings as a human being will be poured into the precious machine in front of you, so I think blood will flow through it.

Even if you say Buddhism in a nutshell, specifically what Buddhism is, it differs depending on the era and denomination.

Relatively old (only in chronological order. There is no negative meaning.) In Buddhism, there are nuances such as “the possibility of enlightenment,” “the possibility of becoming a Buddha,” and “the ability to gain enlightenment.” In other words, “the ability to notice” the truth.
Then, it is impossible for “beings without recognition ability” such as the five senses or consciousness to notice, which means that machines have no Buddha nature.

You have listed Buddha nature with soul in your question, but Buddha nature and soul are completely different things. As soon as I say “become a Buddha,” spiritual people immediately spread the word “it's about raising the level of the soul,” but this is absolutely not Buddhism at all. The Buddha clearly said, “Don't think about it because it's useless to argue about whether or not souls exist.”
Enlightenment is also unrelated to increasing the level of the soul. It's just about awakening to Buddhist wisdom and compassion, and it's called enlightenment about how wisdom and mercy exist or how to live.

Going back to the story, eventually the phrase “all mountain rivers and plants have Buddha properties” spread along with the times. Dogen Zenji of the Soto sect said, “The land, plants, walls, tiles, and pebbles are all Buddhist!” I've made up my mind. It is a way of reading “Yamakawa plants, Shitsubutsu,” and “both Yamakawa plants and trees have Buddha nature.” You should take “everything and everything” as “everything and everything” (sky and color).
Then, of course, machines are also Buddhist.

Why did the story change? It's confusing, but there's no contradiction. In short, the topic just changed from talking about “awareness enlightenment” to “recognition enlightenment.”

This world is expanded by connections like a web of cause and effect. It's called the law of good fortune, and it's what's called a relationship. “Buddhism” is the ability for the former to recognize the myriad connections between the past, present, and future. The latter is [Buddha nature] as the connection between cause and effect itself.
Even in introductory books on Buddhism, etc., it is possible to become a “Buddha,” and there are things written with the nuance of “sex” and the nuance of the “sexual” quality of “Buddha.” Both are introduced in kind books, but they are usually written in a smooth sink.

But maybe... Ei Chun Doji's question isn't about whether or not there is Buddhism; I think it's this kind of ↓. Sorry for the long post.

Hello, Wing Chun Dozi.

Of course, machines also have Buddha nature and soul.
There are various ideas in Buddhism, but the Tendai sect in particular explains that all living things and inanimate objects have a Buddha heart based on a sutra called the Lotus Sutra. The reason I was able to understand this sensitively fits Japanese people who had the idea that everything has the soul of gods, and I think Japanese people in particular are an ethnic group that unexpectedly feels the soul of living things. I read that as Japanese culture is qi (ke). It's like “feeling” or “feeling.”
Therefore, robots are enemies that threaten humans overseas, but since Japanese people think they have feelings, Astro Boy was born. Also, many Japanese engineers, called craftsmen, feel the life in those things and work. Apart from a scientific point of view, it's not like there really is a soul. However, when such humans touch it, the characteristics of the inorganic substance lead to a response as if it were life.
Even with machines, it is said that if you are a craftsman who cares about it, you can understand the condition of the machine by its sound. No, even if you can't hear the sound, it's also said that you can understand it by the atmosphere at that time. Actually, there is also research showing that when examined closely, frequencies that humans cannot hear come out, but craftsmen unknowingly accept them with their five senses. It's a world that seems like something from a scientific point of view, but it's amazing that craftsmen can do that.
Even without such scientific analysis, people who value things are people who have a kind way of life. That alone makes things come alive. Of course, people who value things and feel the Buddha and soul are people who can cherish both living things and humans. I want to be that kind of person. Gassho
