What does living mean

The right way to live. There's no such thing!

... Utakata-san, sorry for the strong tone all of a sudden m (_ _) m
My name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an.

I'm sure the Buddha also had that kind of trouble.
I don't want to get old, get sick, or die.
He was born as a prince of the Shaka tribe, and even if he lives a rich life, he will eventually grow old, get sick, and die.
What were they born for, and why do we have to live?
What we arrived at has been passed down as Buddhism for 2,500 years.
Our lives are full of suffering and trouble.
That's why I think there is Buddhism.

There have been questions like this before.
“What do humans live for” http://hasunoha.jp/questions/36
Would it be helpful?

Continuing with the quote, I will introduce a poem by Beat Takeshi.

“Don't be fooled”
People have at least one thing they can be proud of
Anything goes, find it
If studying is bad, there is exercise
If both don't work, then you have kindness
If you have a dream, have a purpose, you can do it

Don't be fooled by these words, it's okay if you don't have anything
People are born, live, and die
this alone is a big deal

The first half is an encouraging word, but I like the second half.
We were born into this world, and I feel a sense of security in the words that fully acknowledge our existence, saying that just being alive is a big deal.

Utakata gave me a lot of reasons why I think it's hard to live. I also think all of them are true. When my feelings are sinking, it's hard to eat, and it's hard talking to my friends. “It's hard to live,” this is a truth.
So, if there is a right way to live, wouldn't it be a right way to feel that it's painful? And just as each person has their own laid-back (good shiobai), Ukataka-san probably has a proper way of life for Utakata-san.
If you understand that, that's fine.

Just as there is no end to pi, there is no end to the pursuit of correctness. Just as pi (pi) is the answer to that question eternal? Let's define it as (Hatena) and add emphasis.
Once you've put that on, let's move on with your own life, not someone else's.

If “being alive” is the state, then “living” is the will.
I myself think it would be nice if I could spend every day adding a little bit of will to “walk” to the days of walking aimlessly.

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

Regarding questions about “the meaning of life,” everyone's answers in the list below may also be slightly helpful.

“The meaning of life”... even if I think about it, I probably don't get a clear answer “this is it,” and I also feel like it's an eternal proposition.

Rather, in my humble answer in the past, I also answered as follows, “If there is a meaning to live, there is no point in living.”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/93

Having said that, is there no point in thinking about the meaning of life, or is it better not to think about it, but that is also a bit extreme.

Various things and things in our world gradually come to life and die depending on “relationships,” and “meaning” is nothing more than that, and if we want to create a good “meaning,” it is necessary to work hard to obtain a good “relationship,” and I think it is important to accumulate good deeds (good deeds) for that purpose.

Certainly, we are people who get lost and suffer from being saddened by eight hardships (the four hardships of life, old age, illness, and death, together with the four hardships of love, separation of grievances, bitterness, unrequited hardships, and five suffering).

I have stated that in order to overcome this trouble and suffering, it is desired to walk in Buddhism as shown in the humble answer below, based on “all evil mosaku, shuzen bugyō, self-purification intentions.”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/203

Shakyamuni taught the middle path in order to get lost and overcome suffering according to the teachings of the truth called the Four Holy Traces (suffering, collection, destruction, and the path).

We would be happy if you could use this opportunity as an opportunity to begin studying Buddhism in earnest.

It makes me think a lot in my head, but why have I “lived” until now?
Hair and nails are cut off, and food eaten in the hope of losing life also flows down the toilet.
(Sorry if you're eating.)
That's how we break up, but do you know the “secret to staying alive”?
You've lived up to this point, and what you've experienced at Hasunoha is something you've achieved yourself even if you don't know the “meaning of life.”

What was the secret to living until this moment because I have an inferiority complex and difficult life, which may be a product of natural selection?

First, I think sorting out that area is the first step in solving the problem.
There may be hints for everyday life that we tend to forget.

　That's great! I was thinking the same thing when I was in my 20s. People around me told me about paranoia, negative thoughts, and backwardness. but It can also work in a good direction when exposed to various situations.
Interpersonal fears and feelings of inferiority are good things, aren't they? They act while thinking about what people might think of them, so it becomes interpersonal fear. If so, a careful attitude towards people (whether you can trust them or not) becomes more necessary as you become an adult. If you don't do well, you may be able to see through your heart. Please take a look at the drama starring Ishihara Satomi called “The Psychic Odagiri Kyoko's Lie.” That's because a heroine with a personality similar to yours is playing an active role.
Please keep this trouble forever. I have solved these problems through various encounters such as people, time, books, television, etc. I don't know where to get answers.
“Shoho Genzo Zuibunki” says, “There are also monks who attained enlightenment by looking at peaches. There are monks who have attained enlightenment by listening to the sound of bamboo, but not everyone attains enlightenment with peaches or bamboo...” I'm explaining that. That's really true, and I don't know what triggered things to work. So, those questions and concerns must be -- let's keep holding on.
Let's join hands... for the day when it will be resolved.

To Utakata-sama

Life is unreasonable.
There is meaning in living under such circumstances, and I believe that people will become stronger.
With that kind of thing, I think it's possible to be considerate of others.

Being alive means a lot.
Please live while thinking about its meaning.
As Mr. Urakami said
There's no right way to live.
Just live as if you think you're right. Gassho

There is a right way to live.
“Orthodox Buddhism,” isn't there something called Buddhism that has been correctly handed down?
“I Have Shohoganzō Nirvana Myoshin” Shakyamuni
The fact that such words also exist in Buddhism has itself been properly proven and proven as a “just way of life” since 2,500 years ago.
If you surrender to the flow of the river in the right way of life, everyone can naturally feel at ease, “Oh, it's true, this is certainly the right way to be.” That is Buddhism.
So is there any wrong way to live?
Of course it's there.
“It's like taking poison as food without knowing it's poison”
A way of life that is not right, as you hate, is a “way of life that causes suffering” just like you are being held by you.
The Buddha did not choose that way of life.
Since going against the flow of a river itself is wrong with the way we live as a human being, we should think that suffering is also occurring now.
Suffering is when this mind and body are living the wrong way of life, sending an SOS signal of life saying, “That's not true, don't do that.” That is the compass effect that leads to the correct direction that humans inherently have, called suffering.

So, for example, what is correctness when it comes to cooking?
Even if you knock on doors here and there in search of making really delicious Japanese food, once you enter a Chinese restaurant, the soup stock and seasonings are different. So is that wrong?
Still, it is possible to create something “tasty”!
That's right. Each denomination has different tastes, but the best flavor you aim for is delicious! That's it.
If it's a division of the mind rather than a sense of taste, then it's no wonder that you can't agree with “yeah, it was delicious, I'm convinced” if you don't thoroughly enjoy the exquisite taste of enlightenment.
The correctness I am talking about here is a way of life that everyone can feel safe and at ease, which is common to all human beings.
This correctness is neither general correctness, nor is it the justice or correctness of Professor Sandel's theory of justice,
This is because the ego that is for oneself intervenes in general theory of justice. They even go to war in the name of justice.
