I've lost all my old amulets...

Mofunene-sama

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

I understand that an important amulet from long ago has been lost, and that it has become very difficult in the midst of so much fondness and reliance.

We often receive requests for burnt up bills, amulets, and pagodas by reciting sutras even at humble temples. I know that jōbon is also important as a form of thanksgiving (thanksgiving, retribution, memorial service).

Mofune-sama also went back to Japan this time due to that mentality, but I wonder where the amulet actually went...

One is that they realized that they had finished their role and said “goodbye” themselves... probably not... but in this case, what I can think of is “substitution.” The amulet may have just protected Mofune-sama in order to escape disasters and calamities.

If that is the case, if you are upset by losing your amulet and you end up falling into self-loathing in various ways, it could also mean that you don't feel sorry for the amulets you have protected...

Here, once again, I remember thanking them for protecting me, and I know that those old amulets should be treated with a single charm.

Also, in response to the new amulet, I would like you to remember the feeling that thank you for taking good care of the amulet from now on.

I recommend that you switch your mind and be able to completely change your mind about the way you have it.

Now, here's a little bit of a supplement to Buddhism, but originally, Buddhism does not handle money or amulets in terms of praying for the benefit of the world. However, strictly speaking, I think there is room for approval in terms of repelling disasters and calamities that hinder Buddhist practice. I believe that Buddhist practice is also important in order to gain enlightenment to save all sentient beings.

Therefore, of course, Jusei also visits shrines and receives bills and amulets, but I am grateful that you repel disasters and disasters so that Buddhism can be fulfilled.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

My sect, the Jodo Shinshu sect, doesn't use amulets,
Hold the rosary in your hand.
“Reminiscence” means “keep it in your heart,”
The “rosary” is a tool for keeping the Buddha in mind.
In other words, the rosary itself does not have meaning,
The heart of “always being with the Buddha” is important,
The rosary is a tool to help with that.

I think amulets are the same thing.

We are protected from our ancestors, the sun, the moon, and many other things.
Among my many relationships, I am what makes me what I am.
Amidst many relationships, we can live our lives as people with happiness, gratitude, and security.
It's not because of myself; it's because of something other than myself.

For example, animals can't say thank you.
Humans cannot live a thankful life unless someone teaches them to be grateful.
Even with that one, our ancestors went from parent to child, parent to child,
As a result of conveying their gratitude,
Now I know what I'm thankful for.

Keep that kind of thing in mind,
In order to be protected by so many relationships and keep in mind who I am now
I think I have an amulet.

So, even for amulets that have been lost,
Why don't you say thank you?
It's fine even in front of a Buddhist altar,
If you don't have a Buddhist altar, I think it's fine to face the sun or moon.
Since everything protects me,
Any goal of gratitude is fine.
While doing that, my mind calms down,
I think you'll notice that you've been protected more than ever before.

To Mofunene-sama

This time was tough, wasn't it?
It looks like they bought a new amulet after returning to Japan
Did they buy it at the same place as before?
If the location seems to be different

It's a suggestion
I went to that place and bought it
First, please thank the three amulets.
And how about making a purchase with the same care in mind? Gassho

It's not that the amulet is tying you up; it means that you are “bound by things.”
Don't treat it as if an amulet to protect you binds you.
No matter how good things are, good goods, literally ❝ GOODS ❞, if you're bound by it and your heart becomes ❝ BAD ❞ when you lose it, you really can't get enough goods = GOODS.
However, it's not that the “thing” (amulet) isn't cool, it's that the question is whether the owner has the spirit or ability to treat the thing itself as a good thing ❝ GOODS ❞.
“Humans cannot own anything” is the view of enlightened and enlightened people (people who have realized the true form of things). Amulets, money, human relationships, nuclear power plants, military, and ownership of a remote island are the best relationships where each is protected and protected, they don't hurt each other, and they are happy with each other, and are free and unfettered.
Any thing is nothing but a thing no matter how far it goes.
Humans are the ones who pay attention to such things. If you have a bad heart, any jewel or handy knife will become BAD.
If that thing is used effectively and in a friendly manner, the thing will truly become good GOODS.
But if you're bound by that thing, that mentality isn't GOOD, it becomes NG, NO GOOD.
According to the conclusion (^<^), amulets disappeared this time, so as a result, they gave me an opportunity to learn this kind of thing, and it was the best amulet and GOODS until the very end. It's a heart that takes care of your things, and since you had a good mindset, amulets led to an even better heart amulet = strength.
※The story of GOODS was created by Tange and has no basis. This is just an example of making better use of the word GOODS.
