Fart with the Buddha

Who is the Buddha who smelled bad farts
I'm sure “it seems like there were people who drank too much alcohol or ate too much yesterday.
Or maybe your stomach is upset.
I won't specify who it is, but please be careful about your daily eating habits. Health comes first.”
I think they care about people who fart and feel sorry for them.

By the way, if it were me
“That's annoying”

That's it. lol

Once upon a time, when the Buddha was preaching, I couldn't find a disciple who always sat in the front row and listened intently. I wonder what happened to the Buddha? I thought about it, and when I looked for it, the apprentice was at the back end.

The Buddha said, “What happened? I can't hear you very well in a place like that. Please come closer.” When I said that, my apprentice said: “Today, I received a lot of garlic from a parishioner and ate it. That's why my breath stinks so much that it bothers me when the Buddha preaches and the other brothers and disciples concentrate on listening. That's why I can't move forward today.”

The Buddha got angry when he heard that. “What does that mean! If it interferes with my training that much, I will ban eating garlic from now on!”
Thus was the commandment that garlic must not be eaten.

If my farts were too smelly, I think the Buddha might have tried to investigate the cause and prevent recurrence.

It's also important not to run into a spiritual theory of religious guts.

　The world was 2,500 years old, so I think there were lots of wild animals and it was filled with various scents. Wouldn't you be bothered by the smell of farts? I think an odorless world like modern Japan is abnormal.

Even if they smell farts, I don't think they will observe or consider things such as “whose fart is this” or “what did the lord of these farts eat yesterday.” I don't think they even think “it's rude to fart when you're talking about something important.” I think it ends with “That stinks.”

I think there are several stages of consciousness movement between “bad smell” and “your anger.” (Because if it were my fart, for example, I wouldn't get angry.) I think it would be good to end the consciousness with “bad” and change the room. You don't need to bother getting mad at the smell.

If I were you, I think I would open the window while saying things like “it's hot” without saying the smell.

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

Since the way we perceive and recognize things and things is fundamentally different between the enlightened Buddha and Nyorai, and we, ordinary people, think that they are not being perceived or recognized as we perceive them.

To put it a little more difficult, we see things as reality due to ignorance (fundamental ignorance), where worries such as good or bad, likes and dislikes arise, etc., but in Buddha Nyorai, things and things are captured by emptiness (no entity) present (direct perception) understanding, so it is thought that all manifestations can be captured as clean emptiness (both worldly abandonment and victory). Cleanliness in this case is a different concept from cleaning as the opposite of clean, dirty, and dirty as we usually think, so we need to be careful about that point, but well, even if it smells quite stinky to us, we can think that there is no distress when visited by Shakyamuni, so we can think that there is no discomfort.

Also, in the story of Shakyamuni, there was a story where Lord Anan, who served Shakyamuni and had taken care of his surroundings, at one point, when Shakyamuni ate wheat that had already rotted, Shakyamuni gave the wheat he had eaten to Anan Satoru, and when Anan Slayer ate it, it had a ridiculously delicious taste.

Buddha and Nyorai have various mysterious powers, but as an interpretation of this, even if it is bad for us ordinary people, it can be thought that if it is a Buddha or Nyorai, it means that the food that comes into contact with the tongue has changed deliciously due to the power (in color and transformation) achieved by the Buddha and Nyorai's accumulated blessings (merits).

Maybe for us ordinary people, even if it's a pretty stinky smell, if it's the smell after touching Shakyamuni's nose, it might be a ridiculously good smell.
