If you want to reduce progressive suffering

I received advice that Buddhism is about trying to live by devising ways to live a happy and happy life within the specs you were born with.

I can't enjoy it.
Also, plus, suffering continues permanently because of that spec.

They also include suffering over values, for example
There are also values that change if you change your values and thoughts, and that is probably the case with most Hasunoha problems now.

But it's also something that makes the present suffer. Disabilities, jobs I don't want to do, work stress, regrets, aggressive relationships (bullying, etc.), physical pain, etc.

They can't enjoy them or coexist together before, and I don't think it's painful to be painful even if you change your values, and it's not something you can do about it in Buddhism.

Under such circumstances, how do you deal with this kind of suffering from a Buddhist perspective?
Is it enough to change your mind and improve physical pain?

You made a mistake in choosing, and you are told to quit being a monk now and do a job where you eat poop every day, and you have to repeat it permanently; the job of eating poop is difficult.
The job of eating poop doesn't suit my personality.

Colleagues around me who eat poop are struggling with relationships due to furunchy relationships, the job of eating poop is not cool and I can't have a lover, I feel regret doing a job that eats poop, and they are all job choices caused by selection mistakes. This is the status of Tsume Shogi.
My educational background is uselessly high in my job of eating poop. Even though I studied so much, I paid high tuition fees.

When I quit, my resume got dirty, and all I have left is work where I eat diarrhea.

I eat poop every day.
Would I be happy if I changed my values?

Under such circumstances, does just changing your values every day make you happy?

Aim to eat the best poop in Japan

Hello.

That's good. One cog of thought has moved forward.

Is the job of eating poop difficult?
Why don't you like eating poop? how does it smell? I wonder if it's the texture?
First, do that, and then find out the cause of what you don't like. And it's about putting a lot of effort into devising ways so that poop can be eaten deliciously. Even more so if you have an educational background.
(Incidentally, the “human-derived lactic acid bacteria” contained in the sweets we eat are collected from human feces)

that's not cool? There's no such thing as being noble at work. No matter what kind of work you do, it's cool if you work hard with pride. I'm going to do it half-heartedly, so I think it's not cool.
In the words of Toho Group founder Kobayashi Ichizo
“If you're ordered to take the lower legged position, try becoming the best underdog in Japan. Then no one will put you in the wrong position.”
There is a word. No matter what kind of job I do, I aim to be the best in Japan. If I'm ordered to eat poop, I'll make an effort to eat the best poop in Japan.

When did I eat poop (figuratively) on the ground too. It's about not giving up and moving forward. For now, I'm aiming to eat the best poop in Japan.

I want to cherish your suffering

I read your consultation.

“There's nothing you can do about it, so there's no point in saying Udawda”

In a good sense, I think there are aspects of this kind of feeling that it's tough if you don't lead to “giving up” = “(being convinced from the bottom of your stomach)” and “accepting it”, which doesn't change.

Of course, you should change what you can change. But I understand that some things aren't.

I don't know Nietzsche's situation in detail about disabilities, and I don't have any medical knowledge, but there are probably limits to medication treatment and behavioral therapy. So I think there are still parts where there's nothing to be done. Defining it as “good or bad” is a matter of evaluation and values, and unless enlightenment is obtained, that comparative thinking will not completely disappear, but I think it is possible to accept “this is me” somewhere while maintaining comparative thinking. And I also think that's the approach to religious salvation.

What about work? If you don't like it that much, isn't it okay to quit? Is it “true” that if you quit, you only have worse jobs left? Or is it a “guess” or “evaluation” based on Nietzsche's “values”?

>You can be happy just by changing your values

I don't think so. No, it might make you happy if you really change it, but it's probably not that easy to change. What are our values that have stuck around and are ingrained in. And they're probably swayed by it.

Therefore, it is yourself who suffers from being swayed by “values,” so instead, place your base on “facts,” rely on laws that tell you “facts,” and act even while being swayed by your weak self. I think Buddhism will teach us that then, as we act, our narrow “values” will be broken and a broader perspective will open up.

Nietzsche's suffering is too much to say that there are no painful things in the present just by changing values. It's not like that, is it? It's really, really painful, isn't it?

That's why let's do what we can, even if our values don't suddenly change or our suffering doesn't go away.
Then let's get through to the point where “giving up” = “clearly knowing and accepting the facts as facts.”

There's no such thing as being high or low at work!

Hello Nietzsche.

There's no such thing as being classy at work. If you have a job where you eat poop, that's not demeaning. Of course, I have jobs where I eat poop. Mothers raising babies seem to get the size of their fists when they are raising their hands and putting them in their mouths. But the mother ate poop out of joy in raising her child.

Even if it's a job that people don't like, you have to do it. The value of Buddha's teachings is not to hate it, but to be happy about it. Buddhism places more importance on the filth of the heart than on the dirty appearance. Buddha is the one doing the job of getting rid of the dirty hearts of many people like poop.

A dirty appearance is of no value to the Buddha. The problem is that you can't see true beauty.

Please live a way of life that is not bound by appearances. From there, a sense of pride in the way one lives is cultivated. Gassho

“Iribosatsu's Procession” Chapter 5, 13

Mr. Nietzsche

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

Changing values isn't easy overnight, but even if you change the external world to a world according to your own values, it's a place where you can't change this vast world and all of existence.

However, even if you don't change the world, if you change your own mind, you can get the same effect as changing the world.

Master Shanti Deva “Iribosatsu Procession” Chapter 5, 13

“If skin were to cover the earth, why would there be enough skin like that? [But] if you put leather only on the sole, it's as if all the earth is covered.”

It's not something you can do very well to do everything in this world the way you want, but if you can firmly control one of your own hearts, you will be able to spend a peaceful and safe time even if you can't do everything in this world the way you want (it has the same effect as being able to do everything in this world the way you want).

Also, if that changing mentality is a matter of world values and things, nothing will change.

I want to make adjustments little by little according to Buddhism, so that we can see it according to the Buddha's monosastics and values of victory.

Thank you for replying to this question.

Compared to before, Nietzsche's questions have changed quite a bit, haven't they? You're the type of person who can listen to people and change far more than you think, obviously. Your questions and answers have already proven that.

I've been to Hasunoha before, but people who really really can't listen to people are even more excited.
Answering the monk “So I've said it over and over again, but you're saying you didn't say that!”
Questioner: “No, I'm looking at the world by practicing what you call meditation on the power of truth.”
It's like that. It's not good to expose it, but if you can work hard for the rest of your life, I'll look for it and paste it. The questioner over there is supposed to be anonymous, too.

Now, the Buddha said to King Pasenadi of Xhosara, “Go on a diet. It's painful because you're fat enough to take your breath away just by standing.” He gave a sermon.
Dogen Zenji also said, “Doctors often say that if you improve your physical health, your mind will improve along with it, and it is also important to adjust your lifestyle during ascetic practices.” It is said in “Shoho Genzo Zuibunki.”

Apart from that, I understand that Buddhism doesn't do everything with just a way of thinking.

I want to choose a job “to some extent.” Temples in the prefecture say, “Do the work of singing poems,” but they avoid it with all their might. Also, I'm not aiming for career advancement as a missionary of the sect. I don't like not being able to say what I want to say.
That's why I'm answering Zaino anonymously like this. I post until 2:3 at night, and over 90% of the questions and answers aren't even 1 yen, so if you just look at that treatment, it's transcendental black poop. I went that far, chose a job, and “prepared” to be able to say what I wanted to say.

Simply changing your values doesn't necessarily make you happy.
But for the most part, the most disturbing thing is a sense of values and preconceptions.
... monks didn't just have values, right? The preconceived notion that Buddhism is all about values is also a value.
Just understanding that is a change in values.
