Is it necessary to break free from reincarnation?

As I was learning about Buddhism, I suddenly felt doubtful.
Buddhism itself is correct, but is liberation from reincarnation, which is the ultimate goal of Buddhism, really a good thing?

I have no status, no honor, no money, and nothing, but I'm happy.
Theoretically, I understand that there are unhappy people.
However, I think it's rare for people to have no happiness at all.
Instead of lamenting the misfortune we don't have, we should rejoice at the happiness we have.

Also, I think everyone should help.
From that thought, I felt doubts about the part that reincarnation is a source of suffering and that we should be freed.

Since this world is full of happiness, on the contrary, reincarnation can also be said to be the greatest happiness given to people, isn't it?
If we are going to be reincarnated forever, then if we make this reincarnated world more happy, we will repeat heaven forever.

If that act continues indefinitely, it will not cause suffering, but nothing but pleasure.
Do we need to be freed from that heaven?

I just don't understand it.
Please guide me through my ignorance.

Where is that reincarnation or something?

Remembering that you have already been freed is liberation from reincarnation.
What the Buddhists of the world call reincarnation is reincarnation in an imaginary world.
Where is there such thing as reincarnation that we should break free of?
If there is, there is nothing other than relief from the six-way spiritual reincarnation, where people get angry, suffer, do foolish things, worry, and become ecstatic over and over again.
When we all say reincarnation, we imagine something other than a picture-perfect situation.
They are brainwashed by relying on people's words to do things that ants don't do, and they assume that there are things that seem like reincarnation.
Even if you're a Buddhist, if you don't know such things, you'll be captivated by your thoughts.
Isn't it a state of mind where people assume that the mythical world really exists somewhere?
You've already been saved from that kind of reincarnation of thought.
After that, please work to free yourself from your worries and suffering.
Buddhism is about taking a step forward from the reincarnation of the spiritual world called the Rikudo and living clearly without passing the facts in front of you through thought filters.

Maybe if you're really satisfied, you'll naturally release

People who are satisfied with eating stop eating.
People who are satisfied with sleeping stop sleeping and wake up.
So what if you're really satisfied with living?
There will be no need to live, and I think we will be freed from living.

If you enjoy happiness and think that you've lived enough, you may naturally be relieved.
On the other hand, there is also the idea of swearing in advance that you won't dare to enter nirvana in order to save others, like Amitabha Buddha's oath (original prayer).
If you realize it without swearing, you might inadvertently enter nirvana. (lol)

I think it's generally OK

However, the purpose of Buddhism, that is, what humans should do, differs from time to time.
According to the Buddha, what we living in this day and age should do is not seek the Pure Land
I think it's about enduring the current hardships. That is the purpose of Buddhism addressed to us today.
----------
You're right.
As proof of that
Myōhō Renge Kyō Nyorai Jūryōhin sixteenth
“Gashido Anon (Gashido Anon) Tenjin Tendonjo Juman (Tennjo Juman)”
The Buddha explained it.
My earth will be at peace, and the heavens will always be filled with it.
----------
Even if we don't break free from reincarnation, this world is actually a pure land. Seen from the Buddha's point of view, this world is a pure land; it is a wonderful jakko earth that was constantly filled with celestial people.
They are what you call “friends who help each other.”
However, the thing that has fogged up my mind only sees this world as dirty earth (edo: dirty world), so that is the cause of suffering
They say they can't see the real picture of this world and mischievously try to turn it into a cloud of reincarnation liberation.
The Buddha said it like this.

It's up to you whether you need to break free

In the world we are living in now, if you are suffering from anger, jealousy, anxiety, etc., and you want to escape from it, you should probably seek relief.

I think Buddhism is about seeking liberation, just like Buddha, who reached such a path of salvation while alive.
