About organizing feelings

Nice to meet you.
My name is Shirai Koji.
I'd like to discuss my concerns.
You might think it's stupid, but I'd be happy if you could gather your opinions.

I'm from rural Hiroshima, and I came to Osaka to get a job at a railway company.
I graduated from college and got a job as a new graduate, so I've been working for my current company for about 9 years.
Recently, I was able to pass the train conductor exam as a station attendant, and I am currently undergoing training.
There are more breaks since I was a station employee, and although it's not career advancement, it's a stepping stone for career advancement, which is something I'm thankful for, but I really don't feel good.
I just don't have any passion for my work.
It's been the same since I was a station employee.

It's kind of uninteresting.
I don't have ambition, I don't get used to relationships, and it's somehow uncomfortable.
I can't put it into words, but I'm uncomfortable all the time.

I don't have any other work I want to do, so I plan on continuing, but my current feelings are so depressed that I don't want to do anything.
I don't want to think about anything.

Every time I get older, I think I'm an unproductive person.
Unlike people in their 20s, when they're in their 30s, the people around them also carry various things on their backs and change, but unlike those around me who are lively, I just feel exhausted.

What should I do?
But right now, I don't want to do anything.

Take a break. Take a break.

My son is in a place called the Rinzai sect, so is zazen moderate?
Yes, but what is often said by everyone is, “What should I do,
The question is “Can you sit without thinking about anything?”

If you don't think about anything, you're actually full of thoughts
It's something that comes into being.

That's why my name is Kosei. “Please let it drip down (laughs)
It's still fresh. It might be a waste, but keep it raw
Then there will be nothing soon.”

Questioner, while being afraid, I'm afraid to say “depressed” when listening to stories
I can't throw away the possibilities, so I got involved with the doctor at least once, and my heart
I think my body also needs to rest.

I don't want to do anything, I don't want to think about anything,
If you think about it, it can get even more difficult.
It's unavoidable because I don't like who I am now and I don't like it,
That's because they hide their true intentions.

Once that is the case, I hope it is good to take a leisurely rest
That's where I think. I think taking a break means doing nothing
I think humans are animals, so there's not much that they “don't move”
It's not suitable.

Sleep slowly, and go out for a bit.
Why don't you go out to the mountains and rivers for an autumn walk.

A long time ago, there was a commercial called “Nature Is a Big Hospital.” This is true.

“The Hibiki of the Iroya of the Mines are all there, but my voice and spirit of Shakyamuni”

The Buddha was a doctor who healed the heart.

The phrase above is regarded as the word of a person called Dogen Zenji, but exactly
The natural landscape itself is the Buddha's voice and purpose, and
I mentioned it.

Also, occasionally, just sit back and take a deep breath.

Breathe in and exhale. When I throw up
“I'm happy ~~~~ (*'∀`) =3”
“It's fun ~~~~ (*'sweet`) =3”
“Happy~~~~~ (*'∀`) =3”
Try it while saying it with all your heart (laughs). Of course, even if you put it out loud
It doesn't matter ♪
It's going to change a little bit, no, quite a bit. You should be able to feel it.
Think you've been scammed, and try it out (>ω・)

May the questioner's mind and body be at ease,
I'm praying.

Towards maintenance and inspection, train departure, departure progress, and safe driving

Poppoya-sama

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

Thank you for always carrying us comfortably.

Being a railway worker is a job that also takes care of people's lives, so I know it can be very difficult.

Congratulations on passing the conductor exam this time.

Once you officially become a conductor, your responsibilities will become heavier, and you may become even more stressed...

We can't get to our destination just by having a vehicle. In order to move trains, it is also necessary to have the power of railway workers, who provide various unrelated support.

I wonder how many people Poppoya-sama has been able to carry up until now... there are countless others... I know that it is a truly important job that carries everyone comfortably, carries them safely, carries them to happiness, and sometimes to various kinds of happiness and dreams.

The movie “The Miracle of 15 Minutes One Way on the Hankyu Railway.” The train is a stage that has given birth to various dramas, isn't it? Of course, not only are there fun and happy things, but I also know that there are times when you encounter bad human patterns, but I would like you to work on it without overdoing it.

Humans sometimes don't want to do anything, are uncomfortable and unwell all the time, and have no passion or value for money at all. It happened in my humble life too. But if you don't make an effort to change it little by little, somehow, you won't be able to change. Of course, in order to make a difference, some kind of trigger or relationship is also necessary. It would be nice if even the slightest question about Hasunoha would be a trigger...

Anyway, I think it's important not to overdo it now, take a good rest on the holidays, take paid vacations, go back to your hometown to refresh yourself, and try to change your mood in various ways, such as getting involved in travel, hobbies, and leisure. I think it might be a necessary time to take a little peek into my current state from the outside world.

Here, let's do our own maintenance and inspection, and proceed with the departure OK, and safe driving.

If I could look at myself from a slightly different direction when I'm stuck

Uncomfortable all the time... Maybe it's a sign of a physical disorder.
Having a slow examination once may lead to peace of mind.

That's because fewer people are employed in jobs they've dreamed of or wanted to do. Finding something worthwhile is probably something that many people are worried about.

This can be said for anyone, but outside of work, it's important to find something you enjoy. It can be a hobby, time with your lover or family, meals, or exercise. Humans are sometimes unable to make correct decisions if they are too biased towards only one thing.
When you get stuck, if you can look at yourself from a slightly different direction, it will make you feel lighter ◎

I've passed my current job and exam, and my new responsibilities have increased, and I think it's going to be a big deal... Work is a process of gaining work and experience. It's also good to see something for the first time outside of work.

What do you do on your days off~

In this season, going out for a walk, mountain climbing, and walking might feel good (*^^*)
If you don't want to go outside, you can clean the house, sleep, and rest your body ◎

Isn't this the time to build up strength for action?

 Before becoming a monk, Buddha was the prince of one country.
At the palace, it seems that they lived a life where they refined their studies and martial arts during the day and enjoyed feasts at night.
However, it seems that Buddha didn't like this life.
I'm sure you had the feeling that “this life is different from the path I should walk.”
At one point, they came out of each gate in the east, west, north, and south, saw old people, sick people, dead people, and ascetics (called the Four Gates), and became a monk.
After that, they opened up Buddhism.

What became the energy for the Buddha to become a monk was life in the palace.
Precisely because I kept thinking that life in a palace wasn't the way I should live, when I saw an ascetic practitioner, I thought, “This is it!” The decision was probably made.

In that sense, even now that Koji feels uncomfortable, it's definitely not a waste of time.
If you don't experience bad times, you won't be able to feel that good times are “good.”
A spring cannot stretch unless it shrinks.
I think Koji is having the experiences necessary for his life right now.

That's because when a spring stretches, all the force it shrinks becomes.

Recommendations for a trip to Zuda (Zuda)

I had a similar experience before.
It's so futile that it can't be helped.
There was a time when I spent only two to three hours a day cleaning the garden at the temple, and I almost went crazy. Classmates are a bonus for career advancement. I just spend time in the garden and my productivity is zero. Once in a while, Gin-chan (the old man next door) comes and chases them off saying, “Give me fertilizer” (laughs).
If the scenery changes when they get on the train, all I have is Gin-chan's back, moving away from the scenery that hasn't changed in my eyes.
A punishment that replaces the death penalty in a country destroys one mountain, moves it next door, and causes it to be restored again. The prisoners were in such a state of mind that over time they went insane.

We recommend that you consult with those who are active or retired and have experienced the same fatigue.
There's nothing more painful than not having someone in the industry to talk to about the same concerns.
If that doesn't solve the problem, try incorporating the stance of being sluggish as an ascetic practice.
It is an ascetic practice that abandons the reason “for what, for something.”
A monk's alms, garden sweeping is exactly that.
According to FB rumors, Kawaguchi, the host with the highest number of responses, also seems to be busy mowing his head while just cleaning the toilet.
However, just doing it without asking for meaning is foolish.
If there is anything that can be made into a human being, it's not a fox or a raccoon ❝ idea ❞.
Overcoming Mala's idea is the most difficult form of Zen practice.
The staple food of Kannen Mara is based on reason and cause.
Not giving a reason, which is a staple food, is sluggish behavior.
The great Zen monk Jojo was asked by his master, “Why do you clean toilets,” and “don't you clean them because they're dirty?” By answering, I was able to raise my left middle finger and received bad results.
After that, goddamn! While doing it silently, I finally became aware and reasoned, and it went beyond my notions.
It seems that they answered, “I'll clean it because it's clean.” The master also saw through how Jojo had broken through his senses and said, “Omae is a great man who has finally stopped being transformed into himself; he has surpassed the hardest and most difficult tunnel for humans called notions!” It was recognized as a successor. (Partial translation of Tange)
Regardless of where the destination label is on the train, it simply runs straight on a straight road, carrying 10,000 people regardless of their preferences or dislikes. You just don't notice that your car is telling you the answers every day. This is my human promotion test. Get on the Zuda (Zuda) train and try to clear it.

The importance of relationships

To Shirai Koji

That might be the time now.

Don't compare yourself to people.
I am myself.
I am the one who walks through my life.

The reason I'm able to work now is due to some kind of relationship.
I would like you to cherish that relationship.
I'm sure one day you'll realize the importance of that relationship. Gassho
