Life is something you want to dream about, right?

They are teenagers and ask tough questions. That's amazing.
However, when someone argues that the truth is ◯◯ something like this, I don't think it seems quite impressive.

While valuing those questions, I would like you to find them in your future life and understand them firmly.

For now,
The pronunciations of “emotionless” and [impermanent view] are the same,
The meaning is completely different, so please be careful.

There is a cause and there is an effect.
If you change the cause, the effect will change.

Worries The cause of suffering is anguish.
If you can control your worries, you can control your worries and suffering.
If you can get rid of your worries, you can get rid of your worries and suffering.
In order to get rid of worries, three types of ascetic practices are effective: keeping the commandments (lifestyle practice), samatha meditation (spiritual concentration practice), and Vipassana meditation (practice of enlightenment).

How about living a way to reduce your worries and suffering?

“Fifty years as a human being, if you live under heaven, it will be like a fantasy.”
It reminded me of a verse Oda Nobunaga liked.
The life span of a human being is about 50 years, and compared to that, it is said that even celestial beings who live in the lowest level of the celestial world called Shimoten have a life span of 500 years. A human life is short and ephemeral, like an overnight dream.
This laments the impermanence of this world, isn't it?
Looking at impermanence and accepting it is also a state of enlightenment.
Even if I know that, it's still sad and lamentable, and I can't accept it easily.
Words of such feelings will follow.
How are we going to live?
There are many teachings of the Buddha.
I don't know which one is right for you right now or what you need.
So be sure to read the book and learn about the various teachings.
I definitely recommend this one.
“Buddha's words of truth, words of inspiration”
Iwanami Collection, translated by Nakamura Gen
I recommend reading it while slowly thinking through it sentence by sentence.
And check out what's written in real life. Whether what is written is true.
And when you think this is true, it will be when you really understand it.
(It's easy to put it into words, but it's quite difficult to put it into practice. Let's do our best together.)

Good morning.

Yes. Life is full of dreams.

The title “Life Is Full of Dreams” is the catchphrase for Kanpo Seimei's commercial. Watching that commercial somehow cheers me up.

Don't be so pessimistic. For now, let's not be swept away by time, keep our feet on the ground, and cherish this moment.
Why don't we go straight to our dreams?

I read it.
As many monks have answered, I think it's quite difficult to really feel and experience the truth.

Also about various imperfections taught by Buddhism
Things change all the time and never stay in one place

That said, it's really difficult to understand it as one's own reality.

I think we will continue to experience the truth throughout this life, receive relationships with the Buddha, and experience it through various events and encounters with people.

I hope you too will learn the truth while being taught by many people while actually experiencing it through various relationships in your future life, and have a good time.

I read it again.
That's great, please learn little by little from your own future experiences.
That's what your future is for!
Please keep up the good work!
I'm rooting for you!

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

As you said, exactly everything is expressed in Buddhism as something like a dream, something like an illusion.

For example, in Ryuju Daishi's fundamental theory, it is explained that “Kan Sanshoshin” (7, 35) “as if it were an illusion, like a dream, like a mirage (Gandharva Castle), life is like that, living is like that, and destruction is like that.” , “Kansho Shouten” (23, 8), “The various shapes, sounds, tastes, things you can touch, scents, and “things” are just that (there are no unique entities), and they look like mirages (Gandharva Castle), and are similar to sunshine and dreams.”

Other expressions include water bubbles, water mirrors, rings of fire, plantains, and thunder.

All of these are expressions used to explain the “sky” of “no entity.”

Of course, even if we say that there is no substance, it is not emptiness or emptiness that there is nothing.

Although there is a way of being, it itself appears as a manifestation of that thing, and although it itself is actually formed as an independent self existence, this is not the case, and it is made up of “luck,” that is, it is made up of being dependent on others, and simply, it is made up of causation (cause and condition).

As a result of good causation, good results will occur, and in particular, you want to achieve good results by firmly practicing the causal relationships to lead to enlightenment and nirvana as explained in Buddhism.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

Put your fist in front of you and ask yourself a question.
“Is this good or bad?”
People give meaning to things.
When it comes to meaning, I assume “yes.”
I'd like to say it's too late.
That kind of thing isn't true; it's probably about “people thought so.”
Giving meaning to things, interpreting them, and making evaluations and criticisms are the work of small human thoughts. I'll do it later. It's a world I saw after the words were there in the beginning.
Buddha's truth is not an interpretation.
It's real.
First, let's start with the real thing. First, there are facts.
In reality, raw fish sushi is freshly picked, directly from the production area.
Eun seconds before you seriously think before your thoughts and thoughts are pinned.
Well, let's just say that with thought.
What do you call it.
What do you call that.
You won't be able to say it in words.
That being said, if you don't say anything, it's no different from not understanding.

The Buddha explained it properly.
Zen also has clear and unequivocal answers.
Where words are not words, they explain “the law” and lead people to enlightenment and righteousness.
“Something like a dream.”
“There is no reality.”
“It must be like this anyway.”
You can do ❞ things that are nihilistic and ❝ say “this world is like this anyway.”
However, it “cannot say” the truth. Even though criticism and attacks can be made like punk rocker's poems, that mentality is far from happy.
Truth is, don't fall into that level. Don't stay at that level.
It's not like humans “agreed” by arranging beautiful phrases within the framework of human thought.
You too will be convinced, and you will be able to settle your own life.
That is what “Dharma (Buddhism)” goes beyond words.
The self seeks the law and becomes the law itself. Of course, I am aware that it was the law itself.
While meditating today and tomorrow, Buddha surpassed all human opinions and knowledge, to nothing, and reached the impeccable Bodhi due to his merits of inaction and lack of work.
Buddhism doesn't mean it's just about Buddha.
Ask for it yourself, confirm it yourself, and ask yourself, “Does this mean attaining Buddhism or becoming a path!” Prove it.
If you don't get that far, you're just playing a word arrangement game by arranging other people's words.
This is why Dogen Zenji says.
“To practice Buddhism is to narrate oneself. ...”
You should come and testify for yourself without borrowing the boy's words.
That's because it gives me confidence for the rest of my life.
