Christmas schedule

I don't have a lover, and my friends don't seem to have a good schedule.
You can play with women you don't like,
That seems disrespectful to the other person.

What should I do?

Just because it's Christmas

If we don't do something to suit the world...
There's no such thing.

Like doing a general cleaning
Like getting ready for the new year
Why don't you take your time to learn what you can do alone?

How about spending time with friends or family?

There is something in the Christmas mood around the city this season! There is an easy translation between Christmas song illumination sales and the world, but I think there is a strong commercial aspect. I am a Buddhist, and I think it is correct to spend Christmas quietly and in a pure state of mind with close people. So it's impossible to force yourself to schedule your schedule, so if your schedule is right, I think it would be better to relax while eating slowly with your close friends or once in a while with your family.

This is your chance to contribute to the world

Yes, I feel like “playing with women I don't like” would benefit the world and people.
Anyway, your partner won't be able to “spend time alone,” and it will probably cost some money.
However, if the other party says, “Sorry, I've made another promise,” please let them go comfortably and refreshed. It is also “for the world, for people.”
Maybe “if we play together, we'll fall in love.”

Christian “agape” and Buddhism's “mercy”

Totto-chan

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

Originally, Christmas is a day of mass celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, and it can be said that it is an important day to confirm Christian teachings.

One of the most representative teachings is agape (love), and it seems that from confirming that love, confirming love with family, love with a lover, and exchanging gifts, it may have taken the form of Christmas like today.

Agape (love) means that just as God loves humans, it is important for humans to love each other. Just as the character for love has a “heart” in the middle of being “received,” the most important thing is to accept each other's heart, heart, and sincerity. Therefore, as a present, I think what is more important than anything else will be each other's “heart” and “feeling.”

Now, in Buddhism, of course, there is a day (4/8 of the new calendar) when Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was born, similar to Christmas. This day is also known as the “Flower Festival,” but it is an important day to celebrate the birth of Buddha, and memorial services and events are held at each temple. It is also characteristic that sweet tea is presented to the Buddha along with flower decorations and served to everyone. Sweet tea represents the Buddha's thankful teachings for healing and saving us.

Also, in Buddhism, there are teachings such as agape (love) in Christianity. It means “mercy,” but just as the Buddha pities and cares for us when we are lost and suffering, it is important for us to spend our time feeling sorry, caring for each other, helping each other, and supporting each other, so it has exactly the same meaning as Christianity.

Now, back to the main subject, if you can't spend Christmas with a lover, friend, or person of the opposite sex you don't like, be sure to spend time with your family, or have a benefit party with someone at work (who has no plans) with whom you share your hard work, or even if you are alone, spend your time thinking about the happiness of everyone in the town, all over Japan, and the world; if you spend time there with some kind of “love,” I would really appreciate it I have it.

Please have a nice Christmas and Merry Christmas!!

That's disrespectful to Christ

(°-°) During the 10 years I spent at the ascetic dojo, we all went round and round around the 1,200-year-old mummy every Christmas. really ('omega')
('◉ ◉) There are mummies in the temple there... since December 24 is the night of death, and the 25th is the anniversary of his death, they went round and round and round to read sutras as a memorial service...
Everyone in the world reserved a hotel and had a sexual night & an H night... Oops, holy night, and while spending a hot night, I've been a mummy here and there for 10 years, Mi-I-Ra ♡ I'm so happy even with the same H here and there. Hey, doesn't it seem fun---?
What's more, it's a 1,200-year-old mummy. △ (°-°) I was wearing a hat too. It's not Santa, it's the good-looking, good-looking guy that mummies often wear. Keke (°>°) ▲No matter what I do while looking at a mummy, it sometimes reminds me of Christmas..., I never thought that the area around my arm looked like teriyaki chicken, or that the area around my eye was like chocolate... ('◉ ◉)
Punishing jokes aside (just kidding)
As a result, even if it's not Christmas, I'm living a Santa life where I present answers to questions for you and people with problems like you.
That's what I want to say.
They're not all Christians or anything, but they just love the festivities.
The more devout Christians, the more simple they spend their time.
It is said that Christmas in Japan is rather off track.
Whether it's Christian Christmas or not, I think you should be someone's Santa every day. (^<^) It's also a good idea to let them be your own Santa.
The best gift you can give yourself is to give yourself the heart to live the rest of your life without worry.
It's also futile to end your whole life without gifting yourself with that kind of heart (^<^)
Anyone who learns Buddhism can be gifted with that kind of power.
The act of Santa doing something pleasing to the other person is called altruism, good deeds, profit (riyaku), and alms.
What are your hands doing right now?
That hand was also given to me by someone else.
Being able to move your hands is also a gift from someone who has eaten it.
What would you do with the hand you've been given so much?
If you don't make today a Christmas where you can live like Santa, when will you wake up to true “holy” deeds?
