A promise you have to die when you're born

Don't think now about things you can't help thinking about.
It won't do you any good even if you let your delusional thoughts expand about the past and the future.
Let's cherish the reality in front of us.
Of course, all living things are afraid of death.
Animals are always on the lookout for natural enemies.
But it is also necessary to forget about death when danger is not imminent.
“Even if I think about it now, I don't think now that I can't help but think about it now”
Be sure to check it in your mind.

It's not an unavoidable question at all. That's a very important question. If you cheat on this question, everyone will remain anxious, and sometimes your life will feel empty.

But I have one question.

Why are we afraid of losing our ego and consciousness, and losing ourselves?

If you want to exist forever without being lost, why is that?

Incidentally, in Buddhism, “self,” or “consciousness,” in other words, “mind,” or “body,” or another “something,” do not think of “being yourself.”
Also, when it comes to death, in Buddhism, it is an evil opinion (wrong opinion) to take the world after death as “having it,” and it is also an evil opinion to take it as “not.” It is Buddhism that goes beyond such a “view of presence or absence” and goes the “middle way.”

Did you exist because you're afraid, are you afraid to die because you want to exist, and why do you want to exist?

Let's check the questions deeply and deeply without cheating or ending up with something vague.

Your ancestors died too. Great people in history have also died. Nameless people (people you never met or saw) also died.

Has the meaning of those people's lives been lost due to death? Aren't you receiving anything from them? Haven't you created anything to give to someone next?

This is not a matter of leaving descendants or being useful in society.

As long as you find meaning in anyone's life, as long as you find meaning for you, you can receive important things from it.
When you wake up and notice that you have received something important, isn't it possible to find an important meaning in your death?

I read it.
That's because even if you pass away like you had various thoughts and dreams while you were sleeping, your heart and soul are there.

It also means that you exist peacefully and with peace of mind.
Please leave it up to the Buddha.

I sincerely pray that you will live a happy and fulfilling life with all of you and that you will have a wonderful life, and that even after you pass away, you will always be guided by the Buddha, that you will always be guided by the Buddha, that you will be truly safe and calm, and that you will be able to attain Buddhism with a happy mind and soul.

By the way, I think it would be even scarier if I wasn't the only one to die. It's a life where you have a limited amount of time, so you can cherish it.

What kind of world would the people I love have passed away to be like? Maybe our consciousness will go away. Maybe our consciousness will remain. We don't know that. It's designed so that you don't understand such things. The fact that it is designed so that you don't understand doesn't actually mean that the presence or absence of consciousness after death is not important. The Buddha also said “no record,” and it seems that he was unable to answer about the existence or absence of a world after death.
However, you might think that the Jodo religion explains the world called the Pure Land of Paradise as the world after death. The Pure Land of Paradise is a world of enlightenment, and it is not limited to the world after death. Nor is it a world limited only to this world. Therefore, the Pure Land of Paradise is also described as a world after death. (In other words, the Pure Land of Paradise is not a world after death. (Pure Land of Paradise = the world of enlightenment.) Therefore, the Jodo religion tells me that rather than thinking about what will happen to my consciousness in the world after death, it is important to think about how to live now and be born in the Pure Land of Paradise, which is a world of enlightenment in the future.

Gon-sama

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

I think not only Gon-sama, but everyone has a fear of “death” somewhere.

I used to have one, but now, in a sense, there is something I'm “looking forward to.”

A major trigger for this was the content of the two books “The Tibetan Book of Life and Death” (Master Sogyal Rinpoche, Kodansha) and “The Gelk School Tibetan Book of the Dead” (Master Yanchengaro/Gakken Bunko).

Since then, I have also been associated with Buddhism, and I have learned Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism and Mujang Yoga Tantra, and I have also been able to receive the Mujo Yoga Tantra Chittamanitara Zonkan from His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and since then, in the practice of the Act of Achievement, I have also proceeded with the practice of “Three Body Buddhism,” which uses the process of death as an ascetic practice aimed at enlightenment.

In doing so, of course, they will inevitably die, and the process of death has become one of the pleasures.

Of course, that being said, if you ignore your present precious and thankful life as a free time tool perfect for practicing Buddhism, you won't be able to successfully use the process of death for ascetic practices, so you have to be careful enough about that point.

Along with the above two books, I hope you will be able to deepen your understanding of how to go through the process of death and how to use the process of death for Buddhist practice in “Secret Meeting Tantra” (written by Professor Koichi Hiraoka, Hozokan).
