What is the meaning of living

If you don't have fun, you should seek the truth.
Like you, all those who were lost and suffered have found proper answers in Buddhism.
“Words and reasons are added after facts”
To live is to realize not an idea, but a real, direct, and warm truth filled with living blood. The reason for living is something you can add as much as you want later if you're alive.
More than that, you're still living like this even now before you give a reason, right?
Do you need any reason for breathing?
Life is breathing and your heart is beating beyond your own thoughts and feelings, right?
Before I add a reason, that is the direct truth.
There's a truth right now that they're still “alive” for no reason, right?
“What do people live for” → “to be happy,” “to find a purpose in life,” “to find an answer to that,” etc... ← that's rude, but are you really convinced for this reason?
No matter how cool a reason you give it or not, it's still alive right now, isn't it?
Your heart and breathing have demonstrated that no matter how far you go in the world of reasoning, it is nothing more than a matter of habit; your heart and breathing are secondary.
At one point, it seems that the person who said “I want to die, I want to die” filled the room with gas and finally tried to put on a cigarette. Dokan!!!
It seems that the words he uttered in the ambulance were “... I thought I was going to die.”
Something that I thought was going to die has blown away, my head is in a state of drift, and I'm in an ambulance.
He must have wanted to die, but he came across a fact that such logic blew away, and he is Pee-Po-Pow in a world where it's not logical.
People get lost because they try to find a reason first.
When I was a student, too, I was always looking for reasons.
However, any reason or expression was nothing but an empty thing that only functioned at that time, place, and situation. So I was keenly aware of the futility of philosophizing and thinking, and sought truth in Zen.
Thanks to that, I actually live happily every day in this way.
Well, enough of the logic.
There must be something you want someone to listen to.
There's something I'd like to tell you directly, too, so try hitting it out at a zazen session.

Sumo Momosama.
I keep asking questions, but does that mean my worries are that deep?

There have been questions with almost the same title in the past. If you don't mind, please read it first.
“What do humans live for”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/36

Eating delicious food, playing with friends, hobbies, etc., are also important, but I feel that this is insufficient as an important purpose in life.

I love Buddhism. And I want to share my favorite Buddhism with others.
I started to follow the path of a monk when I was around 25 years old, the same as Sumo Momo now. And I think I was around 30 years old when I was about 30 years old.
This is a lucky thing for me, and I'm not sure if I hadn't become a monk I would have found a path I could put this much effort into.

Sumo Momo. There are also happy people who find their own path in their teens. But whether you're in your 50s, 60s, or 70s, I think you can find it.
You probably have a strong desire to find out quickly, but please don't be impatient.

And to say the exact opposite, Buddhism preaches impermanence. “Life is long” is written, but there is no guarantee that Sumo Momo will welcome Heisei 26, nor that she will wake up tomorrow. If you think so, I think you'll be able to spend every day carefully and hard.

I'm sure I'll find a way. Please don't be impatient, but work hard every day for that day.

Good evening.
There's no shortage of worries...
It's just like me.
Repeated self-questioning, and even being registered as a monk,
I wonder if it was really good,
There are times when they stop even at this age.

Nearly 40 years ago, when I was still in elementary school,
There was such a thing in the Suntory Whiskey commercial.
The writer Nosaka Akiyuki was singing.

Ninninice or Sartre
Is it Sossossocrates or Plato
I grew up with so much trouble

It's big
he's a big guy

you and I are big guys!

Somehow, it's a playful song, but it's popular in class,
I didn't even understand the meaning and the boy was singing.
I'm one of them (laughs)

When I insert Shakyamuni into the phrase of this song,
Yeah, there's no sense of incongruity at all.

The meaning of living is that being alive itself has meaning,
I think that's it.
You still have a long way to go at the age of 25.
That's why I think I don't have the confidence to run all the way... and I stop.

If you stop, you'll start to get impatient.
I wonder if this is OK...

That's fine.
There's no need to be impatient.
The reason is that we have a long way to go.
If you waste your time just a little bit, you won't be hurt (^^).

Even though I'm in my late forties, I'm in slow mode.
My family seems to be frustrated by that (laughter).

Do you know “WALKING TOUR”?
I found it about 8 years ago, and I still look at it from time to time.
BGM is very comfortable.
What is a person's life? It makes me think about that.

My Shinran also said these words.

Sake is called oblivion,
You should recommend this, relax enough to the point where you laugh, and leave.

There is another name for sake called “forget your worries.”
If we drink this for a bit and laugh with each other, it will also be comforting...

The meaning is like this, but I was saved quite a bit by these words... ('-`)
You shouldn't drink heavy alcohol at all (laughs).

how is it? (^_^)
Let's take it easy...

Sumo Momo-sama

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

“The meaning of life”... Until now, I have answered 13 questions and answers as shown below.

http://hasunoha.jp/questions?tag=生きる意味

To be honest, it's a difficult question, and it's natural that there are a variety of answers, and furthermore, it's a question I can't give an answer that can be said to be absolutely correct.

However, even in the question “the meaning of living,” http://hasunoha.jp/questions/93, I gave a humble answer saying “if there is a meaning to live, there is no point in living,” but anyway, the “meaning of living” also occurs in various ways due to “relationships.” So, if you say “there is,” the meaning is there.

OK, it's “there” for the time being. It's not “not there.” However, it is also only something that changes due to various “relationships,” and it is not something that can be captured and attached to. In other words, it is not an “entity” that is permanent and eternal. Even if you say “there is no entity,” this does not mean “there is none at all.” There are things that “have” for the time being.

Now, Sumo Momo-sama is not living alone; she is able to exist by being kept alive by countless “relationships.” While cherishing those myriad “relationships,” I'm sure you'll be able to vaguely find and understand the “meaning of life” that suits you. I also know that it may be something that can be discovered by taking it very seriously and excitedly searching for it, and thinking about it in an attempt to find it.

Rather than worrying too much about whether there is a “meaning to life,” I think it would be better if you thought about how you can cherish your daily “relationships.”

There was a time in my life when “I don't want to do anything.” There was a time when they seriously advocated an argument called “no refutation.” However, as I learned and progressed more deeply about Buddhism, I was able to realize that this was an obvious mistake.

If you don't mind, I know that there are times when you can get out of it by learning Buddhism little by little by taking this opportunity.
