After all, Buddhism is Mayakashi made by humans, right?

In some Buddhism, if you dance and chant nembutsu, you can live in paradise or something.

Some people who thought about Buddhism say don't do penance, but others do Sennichi Kaibou ◯.

A person who thought about Buddhism thought about abandoning greed and trying to escape from this crap (this world is crap; this world is crap; it's a shitty world created by a shitty being who has eaten the rules of death, greed, sickness, suffering, the weak eat the strong).
However, today's Buddhist people recite sutras to people who also got married and died, and get a lot of money.

And ignorant people appreciate it and misunderstand Buddhism more and more.

Buddhism is used in politics and used to make money.
It feels like Namjakorya.

No, if you stick to the Buddhist path, there are no great Buddhist people who understand the logic of this world, and there are no Buddhist people who make everyone happy or teach them.

For example, in the form of a sermon, people say that you have a sweet idea. Isn't it the Buddha who created that sweet idea (a transmitter in the brain or thought circuit or something)? I think so.
Also, do able-bodied people born to people with low intelligence who don't even understand Buddhism suffer? Do you suffer from not being able to break free even though you were born into the human world? It's like that.

If the Buddha existed, I would hold a grudge against him over my entire existence. I think they are such heinous and outrageous entities.

After all, in Buddhism, only some well-off people can reach psychology, and it is Buddhism that some born parents criticize young people who have made Buddhism difficult in order to make money, preach others, and look at strange places in the world, saying that their thoughts are sweet?

Teaching how to deal with the causes of worry and suffering

Buddha means one who has awakened to the truth.
The Buddha is not like the god who made this world.
So, I don't think blaming the Buddha for the state of the world is different.

Buddhism is such a technique for erasing and controlling the cause of worry and suffering, and erasing and controlling worry, suffering, and stress.

Actually, if you chant nembutsu, you can pass away in paradise, it's better to control your worries if you do nembutsu.
It's difficult to get rid of your worries (in other words, to realize them), but it's quite possible to control your worries moderately.
Japanese Buddhism seems to like moderately controlling worries rather than enlightenment (getting rid of worries).

It's difficult to get rid of worries such as greed, anger, laziness, and pride, but you can control them quite well.
Doing nembutsu and participating in funerals and memorial services can also moderately spread sadness (a type of anger) when a close person dies.
People can temporarily put their worries to sleep when their mind is focused on something.
There are various types of training in Japanese Buddhism.
Tea ceremony and even flower arrangement can be used for Buddhist practice.
These, too, teach you to focus on something.
You can concentrate on something, temporarily weaken your worries, manage your worries moderately, and control the worries, suffering, and stress of everyday life.
You, too, should definitely try it out.
First of all, it's quite enough just to understand that the cause of worry and suffering is distress.

Controlling worries is so everyone doesn't have to become abstinent and poor.
Live a life that suits your income.
What is a Japanese monk
Even if they are monks, people who earn a lot of money ride in luxury cars that match their income.
It's really strange to get into debt and ride in a luxury car.

freedom of religion

I read it.
The teaching of Buddhism is to understand the right truth and aim to move away from suffering.
If you want to follow that path, then I think Buddhism is a teaching worth believing.
It is each person's way of life, and there is freedom to believe.
Maybe various things have happened to you until now, but whether or not you accept such teachings is up to you, and it is up to you to choose.
I've had twists and turns, but now I believe in Buddhism.

I sincerely pray that you will come across teachings you believe in in your future life, and that you will be able to live through life with a rich heart and peace of mind. Gassho

I think it's a very theoretical discussion.
I think it's probably something even a monk would think about at least once.
As the character suggests, “Buddhism” is “the teaching of the Buddha,” and in more detail, it is “the teaching of becoming a Buddha.”
“Becoming a Buddha” means understanding (or awakening).
Speaking of what enlightenment means, to be honest, I have no idea. That's because I haven't realized it yet. However, what is written in sutras (books written by monks long ago) seems to be in such a state where you know the truth of this world, know all good fortune, have lost all worries and suffering, and understand the past and the world as if you were in your hands.
Or, in a nutshell, it is also called personality perfection.
That's why trying to become a Buddha means believing in Buddhism.
However, each person is born with different things, and the environment they grew up in is also different, so of course, their perceptions are different. Values and ways of thinking are also different.
Therefore, Buddha explained the teachings for becoming a Buddha according to each person. Therefore, various teachings are written in sutras, and some of them are slightly contradictory.
For example, it is said that penance has no meaning to people who practice water practice, and they also harshly say to indulgent people to keep the precepts and work hard at ascetic practices.
Also, it is said to some people that if they practice ascetic practices, they can understand what comes after death, and to some couples, if they maintain the same faith, they will both be born in the celestial world.
The content is written in the Agon Sutra, etc., so if you are interested, please read it. There are books with Japanese translations.
That teaching was transmitted from country to country, and it was also influenced by the culture of the country where it was transmitted, and it was also transmitted to Japan. Therefore, there are places where Japanese Buddhism is different from India and China, and there are many places that are different from Southeast Asian Buddhism.
However, after all, the purpose is to become a Buddha, and that is the same.
There are various ways to become a Buddha, but I think the basics are to follow the Buddha, become a monk, keep the precepts, have food offered in alms, and meditate while listening to Buddha's teachings.
But there are also people who can't do that. Rather, there are probably more people who can't do it. Besides, there is no Buddha who can help me anymore.
So, can't those people become Buddhas anymore?
One answer is Japanese Buddhism.
By the way, don't you feel like the “superman” referred to by the philosopher Nietzsche is a little close to “Buddha”?

Buddhism was preached by Buddha Nyorai

Mr. Nietzsche

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

Buddhism was not created by humans; it was preached by Buddha Nyorai, who attained enlightenment.

However, since these teachings are quite profound, it is quite difficult for us ordinary people to understand.

Of course, while it is difficult to understand and practice, it is a place where we can learn, practice, and advance Buddhism by relying on the words and actions (scriptures) left by Shakyamuni and the teachings (treatises) of his ancestors who walked a definite path of Buddhism and reached a high level.

However, it is truly regrettable and sorry that there are people who are completely half-hearted and arrogantly using Buddhism for their own benefit.

This has been thoroughly criticized and verified, and in particular, we believe that strict measures for correction are also necessary from parishioners and believers, assuming that strange things are strange and that Buddhism does not make sense.

However, in reality, most temples and monks are in a very strict position due to separation from Buddhism, separation from parishioners, simplification of memorial services, and of course, a decline in trust.

Even so, there are also monks who want to spread Buddhism and work on the sacrament of being sentient.

These hasunoha monks are also a group of such monks.

Of course, I volunteer completely free of charge, and in between legal affairs, temple affairs, and work, I am also helping with little effort.

He doesn't do much at all, such as his bad life, etc., but I would be grateful if you could understand that there are always monks somewhere who are passionate about studying the truth and doing sacred work.
