Can't we go against fate?

There is a cause and there is an effect; this is the main premise. Also, the idea of Buddhism is to choose the best one in any situation, and I think so myself.

What makes Buddhism so different from other world religions is that there are “ascetic practices” and “practices.” Even if they get involved in an accident or incident, they try to find light in it, so if you look at it from another religion, they may be defying fate.

It's an exaggeration to say defying fate, but is it OK not to use fate as an excuse to give up efforts? Kiyomasa said, “It's painful and tough, but I think I'll go as long as I live,” and that itself is already an ascetic practice and practice. I think it's a great thing. The cause of your current actions will surely produce good results.

Hello Kiyomasa.

I wonder if I can go against “destiny.”

I've heard that Buddha said in “Shutsu Yokyo (Shutsu Yokyo)” that “I want to walk through life with my own intentions (not fate or gods).”

A “causal relationship” means not only the cause (cause) and effect (effect), but also the result (effect) only when the conditions (relationship) are met.

No matter what the cause (cause) is
(even if they are orphans)

If the conditions (relationship) are met, will the last one be a doctorate (university professor) or a minister (prime minister)?

Just because the cause (cause) is bad, you won't become a bad person as a result (effect).

Also, in Buddhism, there is the term “good cause, pleasure, bad cause, bitter effect.”
When you do something “good,” your heart becomes “easy,” and when you do something “bad,” your heart “suffers.”
Even if the person himself is good, it will remain in the memories of those around him.
People who have been wronged haven't forgotten.
Can people who have been abandoned by so many people really be happy?

It's not “fate,” not just “personality,” but I think all of that person's “good deeds” will have an impact on that person after that.

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

Fateism is also known as fatalism and determinism, and can also be thought of as agreement.

As Mr. Masuda and Mr. Shakuri Kaoru have already said, our world is made up of the flow of cause and effect.

However, as shown in the humble answer to the above question, it is absolutely impossible for us ordinary people to fully understand the myriad complex flow of causes and effects. However, thinking about the reason for this cause and effect is extremely important in considering the “sky,” where all things and things have no substance.

Now, with regard to the theory of fate, I have dealt with it slightly in the following questions and answers so far.

http://hasunoha.jp/questions/93

In conclusion, fate, destiny, and determinism have a high risk of falling into either common opinion or judgment, and it is a way of thinking that should be rejected as a matter of course from Buddhism, which preaches the “middle path.”

For example, if you give up on the many pains you will experience in your past and future reincarnation... if you give up saying that it is fate, destiny, and determined, everything may be denied and become meaningless if everything has already been decided, regardless of what and how you live from now on, whether you make an effort, do bad things, or do good things. This falls into a sense of emptiness and pessimism, and is an extreme way of thinking and assertion that should be rejected in Buddhism.

As long as you are in this sea of reincarnation, you will experience various kinds of suffering over and over again, sooner or later, no matter how big or small. Death (grudge, suffering) due to natural disasters, war disasters, unexpected accidents, etc. is only a small part of that suffering.

Anyway, if you want good results and good tastes in the future, it is still necessary to refrain from bad deeds and work hard on good deeds, and it is hoped that you will walk the Buddha path leading to enlightenment and nirvana in order to break the root of reincarnation that occurs in such circumstances and continues to suffer forever.

Let's work hard together and aim for freedom from this reincarnation.

Hello Kiyomasa.

“Fate” and “destiny.”
Can it be seen as “destiny”... the Earth's life in this era, Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture...
Can we look at it as “destiny”... life that asks questions to Hasunoha in this way...

Are we carrying our own lives? Are you being carried with the flow?
... It seems to change depending on how you look at it.
While “accepting everything,” Kiyomasa also said, “I think we have no choice but to go forward as long as there is life in this world.” They both change depending on how you look at them.

Will it be a bird that uses headwinds to fly? Will it be a bird that doesn't like the wind and can't break branches?
Both are fraught with danger.
However, just as we cannot fly in the sky if we don't give ourselves up to the wind, we humans will not be able to live until we leave it up to some extent.
It's my job, but it was when I experienced paragliding before. I felt like I had become a bird. I felt like it had become windy.
However... when I try to use the wind, it doesn't work. I didn't think of fate as fate. Don't think of fate as destiny. I just want to live.

... “Fate” is just the material for that.

To Kiyomasa-sama

As Shaku said
I also believe that fate is related.
Please take good care of that fate and relationship.
Next, I think a different relationship is connected.

In a sentence
“I myself don't have the energy to resist, so I think I have no choice but to accept everything and move forward as long as there is life in this world.”
That feeling is important.
If you keep doing this, you will surely have a wonderful relationship waiting for you. Gassho

　The reason why Buddha created Buddhism is liberation from the caste system. At that time, people in India were divided according to the caste system under Brahmin religion. Buddha founded Buddhism because he wanted to save people suffering from that caste system. The Rokudō Reincarnation was originally a caste system, and the only way to break free (liberate) from there was no choice but to create an emerging religion and set people free.
“What exactly can you tell about me by the color of my life, skin, and eyes ♫” It's a song called “Blue Sky” by Blue Hearts that was popular when I was young in middle school. As this song says, the fate of humans is not decided when they are born; they are decided while living. It has to be that way. It is no exaggeration to say that, fundamentally, Buddhism is a religion that denies fate. Good and bad things can't be judged at this moment by understanding them later.
Even so, there are people who are helplessly in trouble. It is important to create an environment where everyone can save that. “Whoever has money, give money. Strong people should show their strength. Cheer up if there's nothing.” This is what a radio commentator said at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake. It makes me think a lot when I think too hard, but what I can do now is important. “One two three four” is important.

The theory of fate is nothing more than a secular idea.
It's just a text-to-style argument that concludes with the convenient word “destiny” for everything.
Just think about things in a short circuit and sum things up.
Being born as a cat, being born as a crow, falling, and getting injured is also fate.
Breakfast was Pacific saury was “fate,” lunch was also “destiny,” lunch was “fate,” and sashimi at night was “yumei.”
If you put everything together with “It's Fate,” there will be no origin or child.
However, in the world, that kind of thinking is popular. What is a hit? It's not true that it's easy to post, easy to understand, and interesting.
A high number of searches and audience ratings does not equal truth.
The truth is something that is not well known elsewhere.

Now, with regard to this consultation, I would like to ask you to reconsider all of your mentioned fates by replacing them with “one event,” “one process,” and “one experience.” What you call “destiny” somehow includes a final outcome, that's it, a dead-end sound.
“Oh, that's it.” “Oh, it's heartless, disgusting, annoying.”
As is, it's not good for your mental health.
Please read the following carefully over and over again in order to recover your mind.
○When humans attach labels such as end, end, end to things, their minds stagnate.

○The end of the river is not a waterfall. Waterfalls flow down, but they aim for the ocean and sublimate into clouds.

○Your concerns may not have been disclosed here, but please take another step towards a brighter future by thinking “this is the first waterfall aiming for the ocean” or “a state where it merges into a larger river in order to reach the sea” without deciding that it will end with that event.

○Any harsh fact, regardless of whether you accept it or not, has already happened there, and it has already come to an end there.

○I see, that was already over at that point, both the facts, the ticking of time, and the suffering.

○When it's over, it's the beginning of the next new thing.
Now, the river has already started flowing.
