What is enlightenment?

“What is enlightenment?”
If this question could be answered little by little on the internet, everyone would have a hard time doing ascetic practices.

“Does Buddhism have an answer to everything you don't understand?”
So... what do you think? Speaking of having, there is. Speaking of not having it, there's nothing.

“I think I'll start the Open University”
I think that's pretty good.

” Can we learn better about Buddhism? ”
If you can read characters and have a certain level of Japanese language proficiency, you can learn as much as you want. However, if you just acquire knowledge and education in Buddhism, it may just cause major misunderstandings if you don't do well. If you try your hand at it anyway, I definitely want you to walk through [Buddhism], which involves proper practice.

I'm sure the other Hasunoha boys think the same thing as me.
They said, “Let's go together.”

It seems that once you realize it, your worries will go away.
Isn't enlightenment the disappearance of anguish (the cause of worry and suffering in the heart)?
So, in order to understand, it is necessary to notice suffering, impermanence, selflessness, etc., and be convinced,
The Buddha discovered an ascetic method for that purpose, and it was systematized.

Also, Buddhism explains techniques that allow even unaware people to control their worries to some extent (they can control the worries and suffering of everyday life).

There isn't an answer. “Find your own answers” is the Buddha's teaching.
It is said, “Don't blindly believe the answers you've been taught by someone, and believe the answers you've confirmed by learning, thinking, and practicing for yourself.”

Do you “take for granted what is taken for granted”? I see, so let's focus on that.

There was a monk named Dogen in the Kamakura period, and that person wrote, “Even if you are enlightened, you don't understand everything in the world. I know that the ocean is connected to the other side of the horizon. But I don't know what's actually going on beyond the horizon right now. In that way, I can take for granted what I understand. What you don't understand is a matter of course. That's what enlightenment is.” It's written.
Buddha also said, “Don't think about things where there is no way to draw conclusions, such as whether the soul exists or whether the world has a beginning and end.” I'm saying that.
Buddhism is not meant to give “answers to everything you don't understand.” My goal is just to “leave suffering.” This is important. If you don't hold this firmly, you will progress to cult-like Buddhism.

So what is enlightenment?
It's not about becoming a superhuman.
It's about living the way people should be.

So what is the way it should be?
Don't eat too much food. Don't reduce it too much.
Don't sleep too much. I don't wake up too much.
I'm not overthinking it. I'm just not feeling it.

Gatoon the small bell with a lot of power! If you do that, the sound will break. If you hit the big bell with a small force, it won't make a proper sound. What do humans want with bells? Instead, humans hit it according to the potential that bell has. If you do that, a good sound will come out naturally.
The way humans live is the same. What do I want to do? or what about national and public standards? Instead, they live a life without being too much or too little according to the vitality that each person's body has. Take for granted what you take for granted. If you do that, your body and mind will naturally adjust. I'm going to die! I think so, but I don't want to die! No matter what you think, life naturally progresses regardless of such thoughts.

That life is enlightenment.

The path to knowing oneself.
Be clear about what you are. It's not about seeking far away, nor about acquiring knowledge. There is probably a truth where you can't feel yourself at all when you use your current body and look at the reality in front of you.
When I was little right after I was born, I should have accepted everything without any good or evil, likes and dislikes, profit or loss, and I should have been able to spend my time alone. You're probably still in that situation now. However, since the recognition effect works, it is quickly verbalized and evaluated. It looks like I'm one with the environment before I came out. I don't have the feeling that I'm fidgety, that I'm watching, or that I'm listening, and if I had that, my body would be like that.
You can see that I really wasn't myself when I did that. Enlightenment is nothing special; it is the very activity that is taking place in your body right now.
