Zama city incident

First, I wholeheartedly join hands and pray for those who have passed away and those who have been thrown into darkness by this painful incident.

It is an extremely cruel incident that will plunge people all over the country into a hell called the darkness of the heart. It's not something to be forgiven. It is at times like this that we should not reign over our own minds and direct them towards bad minds.
Humans have an aspect of the human world where they “suffer because of their way of thinking.”
“No matter how horrible the scene was, in fact, it ended as such an event.” There is a reason for that.
We get sick when we hear the news.
When there is news about boys and girls who have been murdered in a horrible way in the world, many people go there just by hearing it.
Currently, the Buddhist monks of Hasuha are very heartbroken by this incident.
As a monk, I can't help but feel anxious when I think about people being killed by murderers who chose suicide because the answers here were beyond their reach.
That's why, that's why!
We need not to succumb to evil evil, break through the darkness with a brighter, more brilliant, and pure heart, and inspire the “Bodhi Heart” of saving and helping all people!
There has never been such a painful incident. It may happen in the future. There may be more victims in the future. That doesn't mean we can't stand still.
If there are people who can agree with the activities of the monks in this Hasunoha and the good intentions of the “World Reform Movement” of the operator, Mr. Horishita, who is struggling behind the scenes, please be sure to awaken the “heart that shows the world well” Bodhisatti Heart in their hearts.
Living like a Buddha should not be just a Buddha's way of life.
You should never do someone else's business.
If each and every one of us doesn't have that kind of ambition, there is no way that Buddha alone will improve this world. The dead are also not scolded. We won't be scooped up either.
This incident is an issue we should reflect on.
If I had time to blame the culprit, I would like to use that time to help and save people who are similarly mentally ill.
Everyone doesn't have to be a Buddhist for activities that change the world, activities that increase kindness, and activities that increase good bacteria in the heart. Please agree and illuminate the diseases of this world with initiative.
Now, please take your hands off what you own, and send your hands in remembrance to those who passed away.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to those who died in this painful incident. Gassho

There's something I've been curious about ever since I heard the news. It stopped on December 4 of last year, but there is an account that continued to tweet with the concept of “a society where people who want to die die.” It still has 1,435 followers. I wonder if it's really okay to call the incident in Zama City “special”... What if it's just that there were no precedents that have come to light, and it's already no longer special...

This may be an extreme example, but during the Sengoku period, people carried it around while protecting it so that they wouldn't be taken over if they raised the first rank on the battlefield. When I brought it back, the women in the house now wash the first class thoroughly, apply black teeth, and apply makeup. That's how they make them look like they're top ranked high (with high rewards).

People can also get used to such an environment.
So surely people who have left normal will not do that, and if the conditions leading up to that point are in place, everyone will be able to do it.

In Buddhism, we believe that “people are a group of many causes and factors.” This is called a cause of cause and effect, or it's all empty.
There is often an expression of “harboring darkness,” but in terms of Buddhism, the essence of that person was not darkness, and it means that the majority of what was sprinkled by people around them or what they sifted through themselves was darkness. Conversely, it also means that you can change now depending on the environment you choose from now on. That's because everything is impermanent.

At such times, regulating oneself is not only about facing one's own weakness of heart, but also about thinking carefully about what kind of environment you put yourself in.

That said, if you start swinging likes and dislikes very rarely, it will increase your suffering, but if you are clearly only being affected negatively, it is also important to keep a “moderate” distance. Even if it's a family. Also, searching for a better relationship, and not letting the past evaporate (not reversing past bad environments in your heart)... these are the keys to leaving the darkness.

Until it leads to an incident like that, you can't find a good relationship no matter how you look for it... I want to change the world like that.
I hope Masamasa's surroundings and this society will be filled with encounters where we can give each other vitality to live... Gassho

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

A cruel incident that happened in Zama...

Every day, many questions are received on this hasunoha from people who have a sense of rare death...

If, among those who have been sacrificed this time, there are people who have visited Hasunoha, and there are also people who have visited and asked questions... I feel fiercely sorry for not being able to help...

As far as possible, hasunoha will be an entity that can be close to everyone's worries and suffering, and that it can be a place where reliable salvation and healing can be handed over with the power of Buddhist wisdom and mercy, so I would like to continue to do my best.

It's a private matter, but I participated in Hasunoha, and I gave my first answer, and tomorrow it will be 5 years.

With 5 years as a milestone, I am re-reading my initial answers in order to return to my original feelings and aspirations.

I'm sorry, but the answers will reach the other person's heart, and I would like to continue to sincerely face them as much as possible so that even those who have a sense of despair can receive good conversion.

I would like to continue working hard on Buddhist practice so that it can illuminate this dark path of ignorance and clearly indicate the path to enlightenment.

I look forward to working with you.
