About suicide

I always think about dying.
There are certainly causes of suffering, but even if they are resolved, I think committing suicide is the most enjoyable thing for me, and it is a way to be happy.
However, committing suicide is also an act that causes trouble to many people.
I would like to receive advice on the meaning and purpose of living for me now, or to be able to continue living comfortably.

How to be saved

They “think” that the way to be happy is to die; that's just what they think. The facts are different. You can't be happy when you die.

The Buddha saved himself from suffering while living. Since many ancestors, including the Buddha, were aware of that path, the path of salvation continues to be conveyed even now, over 2,500 years later. It's such a sure path.

If you're going to be saved anyway, you want to be saved while living.
What is necessary for that is to “know yourself.” Yourself is not about this body. Use that body to know the truth.
This is not a way to understand with your head. It's a path of becoming aware by living the facts.
There is nothing but now in life. Speaking of places, this is the only place. As knowledge, I'm learning that there are foreign countries or outer space, but now that I have this body, this place is the only fact. Also, there is no past or future, and they live in unity with that environment.

I just drank tea. The tea pillar was sleeping. Negative people cause thoughts that lead to unhappiness one by one at such times, and fall into even more unhappiness by grasping them as if they were true.

There are times when the tea pillar stands, sometimes it's sleeping, and there are times when it's not. It just adds meaning to that and it makes you suffer.

Learn the facts with the six roots (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body). And then it goes away without even holding it. It's something that doesn't seem to exist. Everything is like that. Whether it's a word or a feeling, it was just that moment.

Thoughts and Thoughts are Maboroshi, Memories, Maboroshi, and Frustration are activities carried out by taking up things from the past. Even though it was a second ago, it's nowhere.
That's why we're being saved.
The Buddha woke up due to zazen meditation. I realized it by not touching it. Please learn Zen and be saved.
Dogen Zenji says that if you do zazen, people will always get better. Try to do it under the right mentor.

I read it.
There may also be pain or suffering in your feelings. Maybe that's why you think about death yourself, don't you think?
There are times when you forget about this situation and want to escape.
And I also think that you yourself are driving yourself into that way.

First, please take a slow breath yourself, adjust your breathing, and calm your mind little by little.

And please stabilize your mind little by little.

Then let's take a slow look at it.
Perhaps death isn't the solution, is it? Aren't there many other ways?
If you receive support from various people, there will be a path for the better, and I think there is also a path where you and everyone will be happy.

I also don't think there are many people who can understand the answer to anything right now, even right away.

If you hurry, you'll ruin the situation.

And then it starts to turn into something.

There are quite a few cases where the situation will unexpectedly improve if you calm down even a little bit and review it.

I think it's okay to take a break without being in a hurry.

In that case, let's put ourselves aside and take a leisurely look around.

Let's look around as if we had become a drone. If you do that, you may be able to see things you haven't seen or noticed until now, and there are solutions and opportunities in unexpected places.

First, please relax your mind and body and nourish your energy!

Utilizing Buddhism in everyday life

Narumi-sama

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

“Living” originally means “not being born,” and “dying” is originally “immortality” (immortality).

“Immortality”... it also appears in the Heart Sutra.

Life and death mean “sky” without substance, but well, it's a difficult word.

“Everything is lucky and empty”

The point is “good luck.”

It means that everything “comes about” due to “relationships.”

Specifically, “relationship” is “cause and effect,” in other words, “cause and condition.”

A good cause and effect will be good. The reason for cause and effect is really simple.

Buddhism teaches how to do things and adjust karma (karma) for good results (enlightenment).

Buddhism also contributes to causes and relationships for public happiness.

I hope you can make use of Buddhism in your daily life.

There is also the possibility of “depression”

If suicidal thoughts continue, there is a possibility of “depression.”
Please consult your medical institution.
Once you know you're healthy, that makes you feel safe.
“Depression”, like a cold, can happen to anyone.
That's because it's a brain and nerve disorder.

The mind is impermanent.
If you treat your mind, learn Buddhism, or give your mind a different stimulus than before, your mind will change.
Produce your mind without thinking that your current thoughts are your “unwavering self.”
