pretension

I got on the train yesterday. What's more, during rush home.
The old man with the help mark on his bag couldn't sit on a chair and was standing next to him.
The seat in front of me was vacated, and when I handed it over to the old man from Help Mark, he said thank you.
I'm not such a good person. I pretended to be a good person.
After that, a seat behind me became vacant, and a student gave up my seat. I said thank you, and I was thankfully allowed to sit down.
Here, too, I pretended to be a good person.
Unknowingly pretending. It's the worst.
The person I am is an outrageous and despicable person who doesn't think about people.

Buddha nature

You must have felt good when you gave up your seat. You must have been happy when you gave it to me. It was great to be able to recommend a seat. It was great to be able to say thank you. The Buddha who lives within you has worked.

Please give it to them again

I read it.
“Thank you for giving it away, and thank you for giving it away”
I think there was a feeling of being very thankful and happy, connected by those words and actions, and a feeling that filled my heart.
I don't think that's a lie.

After that, secondary feelings, because people are watching... feelings such as being nice and cool will probably develop in you.

Please take care of your feelings as a beginner.

Also, please feel free to give up your seat next time.
The bond between good intentions and good deeds will continue to connect you.

Every second is a brand new personality

I think it doesn't matter what happened up until now.
You are now now now.
If you go abroad and do good things to strangers, they'll think you're a good person.
Every single act there is true.
Every second and every second exists apart from what was before.
You are who you are now.
There's no such thing as the worst.
There is no such thing as personality somewhere.
Since the act itself is your current truth, your actions at that time did the work of a good person no matter what they used to be, even if you pretended to be.
You should probably abandon yourself, live anew every time, and act.

Let's imitate Buddha and live our lives

Not everyone is a good person.

Let's imitate Buddha and live our lives like that!
