Everyone is happy

Is it possible for everyone to live without worries and suffering in modern society?

First, let's start with you

Whether or not it's possible starts with solving your own worries and suffering.

Please tell us your story.

Buddha Shakyamuni was taught the law by troubled sentient beings. One of those people is you.

Let's start with you.

If you alone are saved, everyone's salvation is evidenced there.

Shinran Shonin of the Jodo Shinshu sect was taught by Nembutsu that he was the one furthest from salvation, and the conviction that everyone can be saved only because he himself is saved.

There is always a teaching that will save you too.

Let's start with you.

I think that's a really good question.

 Thank you for your question. As we live our lives, we live with worries and suffering, but since it's the same as what Hokakuji said, it's a slightly different form, but I feel that we can be saved by Amida Nyorai's mercy. Gassho

I wonder how it really is?

First, how about Mr. Tofu himself? Do you have any worries and suffering?
I have one. worrying and suffering even about trivial things...
But from that, fun, joy, and love are born.
Since this world is made up of a relative world, it is probably possible to experience the opposite of suffering.
It may be boring because not everyone has experienced trouble or suffering, or the opposite.
However, it is also necessary to make an effort to get rid of the worries and suffering of as many people as possible.
It's fun, even for a moment. I'm happy. I would like you to experience such a moment.

Is that happiness? Or is it suffering?

In Sutanipata,
“What other people call 'comfort' (ska) ', various saints call it 'suffering (ducca).' What other people call “suffering,” various saints know that it is “comfort.” (translated by Nakamura Hajime) and it says.

I think we must start by questioning the definition of what kind of state does “living without worry and suffering” in modern society indicate.
