In Japan, when someone dies, a funeral is held, right? When you do a funeral, you become a disciple of the Buddha, right? Why do Japanese people say that most people fall to hell even though the Buddha's disciples don't fall into hell? Doesn't anyone go to hell first?
Who is saying “most Japanese people go to hell”? I've never heard of it. As you said, Buddha disciples don't go to hell. It's fine, so let's stop thinking about hell. Don't you think a life where you just think about hell is ridiculous? Let's keep our feet on the ground and do what we need to do now carefully.
When someone dies in Japan
The funeral was held.
Recently
I don't work at a conventional wake funeral
The form of “direct burial” has increased.
but that was due to human circumstances
What about Buddha
Whether you work at a funeral or not
Everyone will be saved.
and
Since I am guided by the Pure Land to attain Buddhism
You won't go to hell.
If you don't believe it
I can't keep this world at peace
You'll end up in the same state as being in hell.
If I don't end up in hell
I want you to believe it.
If you're reflecting on past mistakes and trying not to repeat the same mistakes, then there's nothing to worry about.
Let's focus on what you need to do and what you want to do right now.
If you worry about a hell that doesn't even have a heart, it's probably hell.
The hearts of people who do evil things by thinking “there's no such thing as hell” are probably hell because they are sick with MAD more than hell.
If you don't agree or settle in the true sense of the essence of the traditional folk belief of whether you do something bad or good, you'll fall into hell or go to paradise, so it's probably hell anyway.
If you don't believe in Buddhism and do whatever you want and hurt yourself and others, that life will be a living hell.
It's probably a way of life that affirms hell even more if you say “it's okay, it's okay, that 💀 there's no such thing as hell 👿” and don't change your way of life, turning your eyes away and if there's no way there is a hell in this world, it just happens after death, and not getting any better at all is probably a way of life that affirms hell even more.
That kind of thing is called hell.
It's not about life after death.
It can also be used as a matter of life after death, but it is only convenient for putting people on a better path.
There is no way there is a world of dead words, just look at those distorted faces and ways of life of selfish people, and the victims caused by it. No matter how high an IQ person denies that there is no hell, there is no denying that there is no reason for hell.
No matter how high your IQ is, if your humanity is low, immerse yourself in your own high IQ and being blessed and leave the misfortunes and deaths of others alone. That kind of thing is called the celestial world.
Strictly speaking, it's a group of stingy people who can't save people. People who have money are stingy. There are also people who are kind because they don't have money. There is paradise there. Hell-changing flowers bloom where people seek such a way of life. So I'll do it too. (We are currently ill and are undergoing an infusion)
So, if everyone meets a monk who clearly explains enlightenment with a bright heart and correct clarity in order to make this hell-like world a pure land of paradise and the best world, and if they don't save their own heart from a jikochu heart = hell without fantasy or religion, who will save them? Where will they be drawn? If you don't seek Buddhism or human wisdom, there's no way you can be saved. If only I was saved, in the end, my painful heart like the hell of the world or the hell of humans wouldn't change.
Therefore, we have no choice but to put the Buddha's teachings into practice.
We, all of you, are going to save the world. Gassho
In Japan, it was said that they entered the “Last Law” era during the Heian period.
After the Buddha passed away, it was initially called the era of “justice,” and it was an age where there were correct teachings, proper ascetic practices, and correct enlightenment.
As time passed, it became an era of “image law.” In the age of statue law, there were teachings and practices, but there was no proper enlightenment.
Next, it was said that the era of the “end law” came. The Age of the End Dharma was an age where teachings remained, but there was no proper ascetic practice or proper enlightenment.
If it really were an apocalyptic world, there is a possibility that the number of people falling into hell will increase.
In the Jodo sect, I think of myself as an ordinary man (a foolish person who is unaware) in the apocalyptic world, and since the ascetic practices taught by the Buddha are difficult for me, I think I'll choose the path of being saved by Namu Amida Buddha's nembutsu.
