This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.
I haven't read “The Recommendation of Ambition,” but I certainly know that we humans need “ambition,” “ambition,” and “ambition” in a sense, in order to live.
As Mr. Masuda said, even in Buddhism, the “Bodhi Heart” as a good “ambition” and “ambition” to aim for “enlightenment” is more important than anything else.
Of course, the “good ambition, ambition, and ambition” referred to here is not just selfish, self-preservation, complacency, or self-righteous, and something that is Buddhist “altruism and compassion” is required.
“When I get something, I want it again. “You can have ambition only because your worries are too great to throw them all away”, “Having the feeling that you want more is necessary for people to grow”...
I think there is a slight problem with Buddhism about this. It is “unrequited hardship,” which is one of our eight struggles, and I also dealt with it in the following question.
The question “Do you have pain when you're too happy?”

Of course, in order to live, “greed” is essential and necessary. However, it means that you must be careful when handling it.
It's a “sky,” where everything has no substance, so whether you ask for it, ask for it, or think you've obtained it, you won't be satisfied at all, but I know that “satisfaction” from “knowing what is enough” can be obtained to some extent by firmly advancing the understanding of “sky” and “good fortune” in Buddhism. In this world of limited resources, if one person has many things unnecessarily, the number of other people who are in trouble will also increase, and this is quite bad work, so in particular, this “greed” must be harshly reprimanded.
Anyway, in Buddhism, even if you say “enlightenment” or “supreme wisdom,” it cannot be treated as something or thing that exists as an entity. It's just that these things happen due to proper good relationships, and for the time being, they are nothing but “good luck” that can be said to be “present,” and it is something that cannot be attached as a reality.
By all means, I would be happy if you could take this opportunity to think a little bit about “Sky and Fortune.”
