“Contentment” and “inherently nothing”

There are certainly things you notice through words. But words are just words. It's just a tool.
It can probably be said that the original form of ascetic practice is to listen to pleasant words and words that make you feel grateful, and to be convinced of what you notice there in practice so that it doesn't end there.
Learn by touching real things. We learn from experience. This is because no matter how many stories you hear about souvenirs you've gone on a trip, or even if you increase your knowledge by searching on the internet, it won't be something you did until you actually went there. Experience and knowledge are completely different things, aren't they?

The word that shocked me while saying that was “indiscreet” ^ ^
A life where I learned to be sensible as a good thing. It made me realize that I had fallen into suffering by being sensible.

　Among the responding monks, if anything, they fall into the category of elderly people. That being said, it's just a little past 60th birthday. However, at the same time that I realized that I had gotten older, the number of times I asked myself how many more years would I be able to live, and how many more years my brain would work properly and whether I could move properly is increasing.

I can't say at all that I've lived a life that people can be proud of. It seems like they have lived a clumsy, timid, careful, disrespectful, and presentable life. Even for me, I was able to enjoy playing with my fun friends. I was able to study meaningfully with good friends. There were times like that. There aren't many good things, but there were times when I thought life wasn't that bad.

That kind of fun doesn't last forever. No matter how great a friend or companion is, it doesn't mean we can stay together forever. The number of opportunities to be keenly aware of this has increased. While feeling that way, I am once again amazed at the weight of the phrase “once in a lifetime.”

There seems to be time left, but in fact, there isn't much time left. How do we burn our limited lives? How are you going to live the rest of your life? Please think carefully about how you will make the most of each opportunity and encounter in your life (your own lifetime).

My favorite word is Japanese face love language (wagen aigo). A kind face and kind words. Smile no matter how difficult it is, and use kind words no matter how frustrating things are. Of course I can't always do it that way, but I try to keep that in mind.

Contentment is inherently nothing. I like both, too.
There was also a great monk who said that contentment alone represented all of Zen. Speaking with the same feeling, what I suddenly came up with was “good deeds are worth nothing (good things can be done without bad things).” It means that it doesn't match the goodness of not having good events or anything... When I think about how difficult it is to prepare for a fun event and how lonely it is at the end, everyday life without anything makes me the happiest. I'm interpreting it like that. In the sense that everyday is the best, I personally cherish it as a good word that can capture everyday life without anything.

Nice to meet you, Masako, my name is Shima Daisei

You had a very nice encounter with Hasunoha
I would be happy if you could say words of gratitude like Masako

Well, it's my favorite phrase, and it's famous for capital theory and Marxism
In the words of Karl Heinrich Marx,

“Religious misfortune is, in part, an expression of real misfortune,
One is a protest against real misfortunes.
Religion is a sigh of relief, of a world without a heart
It is both a feeling and a spirit without a spirit.
It's the saying, “It's the opium of the people.”

It is also called “religion is opiate” in short

Generally, opiates are drugs that caused the Opium War.
However, opium referred to here refers to morphine, and it means “painkiller”

There are various interpretations of Marx's words,
As Marx intended,

“When unfortunate events happen, people seek religious comfort.
Certainly, religion explains our misfortunes and causes our pain
It makes me feel relieved.
However, the comfort of religion is enthusiasm for confronting real misfortunes
Haven't you let it cool down?”

It seems to mean something like

If anything, Marx isn't the “painkiller side” of religion
Don't let the general public become addicted to religion when it comes to the “opiate aspect,”
It says

... but I understood this phrase paradoxically.

If you give it back, religion is a sigh of relief,
Along with being the feeling of a world without a heart
That's why it's a mentless state of mind,

Just like people who gather at hasunoha,
There are people who ask for that opium, and in response to the request,
If it's going to be a pain reliever,

That alone is enough for me to live my life as a religious person with all my heart.

Stay away from values like this: great ↔ ︎ trash, good ↔ ︎ bad, sacred ↔ ︎ vulgar, convenient ↔ ︎ unusable, like ↔ ︎ dislike. It means to arouse feelings of dislike due to value separation, or to have a barrier-free mind in all directions without hating others with My Story...

The Buddha didn't say that an unaware monk had no value. Because it starts where nobody realizes, right? It's natural. Even the precepts are something that starts from scratch and gradually becomes a habit. That's why the Buddha didn't deny poor monks; he just thought about raising them.

In a society where monks deny or are denied because of how good or bad they are, the general public will be more popular than that. When I was a student, I often used to write in a way that boasted smelly boys like the rest of the world, but the world doesn't get better even if you spread offensive words in a loud voice. It's not outrage, it's just spreading bad bacteria around the world... More specifically, I'm aware that spreading my perspective of being certified as a smelly boy is itself bad bacteria, so I decided to refrain.

Even so, there are times when it just pops up, and there are times when I use it intentionally. But if you don't know the person next to you, you can just tell them. It's superfluous to incite them to say “they don't understand, so they're keshikaran.” Even if the monk got the support of 2 or 3 enthusiastic people, behind that, he told 7,8 people who weren't really interested, “After all, Buddhism is a Namagusa group with only internal conflicts. I think, “That's why it's better to get rid of religions that are always at war,” and I have to know the reality that they have moved away from Buddhism.
