If I commit suicide, will I go to hell?

That's the limit. If I commit suicide, my karma will accumulate, suffer after death, and go to hell?

Suicides are not uniformly bad business, but...

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

“Karma” will certainly have a big impact on the future of this life, and the state of reincarnation after this life, but suicide does not uniformly become bad work, and I think there are cases where it becomes bad karma, neutral, and good karma on a case-by-case basis.

The question is what kind of motives and state of mind is the act of suicide carried out.

In particular, suicide as an act due to ignorance (fundamental ignorance) or distress will still be “bad work,” and since it is inevitable that it will be a causal relationship (cause and condition) that causes bad results for the next destination, it is something that cannot be recommended.

If suicide is motivated by anger, jealousy, hatred, despondency, greed, etc., then it is inevitable that it will become bad work.

Of course, if it's a suicide that doesn't turn into bad work, it's good, and if the motive is pure, then that doesn't matter, but the reality is that we have to say that it's almost impossible when it comes to whether such a thing is possible for us ordinary people.

Also, with regard to karma and its motives, there are places that can be easily achieved by us ordinary people, such as good karma, bad karma, and neutrality, so obviously, unless it is due to afflictions such as those listed above, it is extremely difficult to determine which would be a suicide that does not seem to be the case.

(In the time of Shakyamuni, there are actually examples where Shakyamuni showed that even if his disciples committed suicide at first glance, that suicide did not have much effect on karma, and then he was freed.)

“Work” is a comprehensive set of actions in past and present lives.

For example, if you have done a great deal of good work in your previous life, and unfortunately you don't get that result in this life, it is possible that results will occur in the next life and you will be blessed with good circumstances.

On the other hand, good deeds in previous lives have become charades due to bad karma in this life, and if bad karma wins further, it is possible that it will result in some kind of reincarnation.

Anyway, pay attention to karma as carefully as possible, and in particular, if you walk Buddhism, good deeds will surely increase, and the possibility that subsequent results will improve will increase more and more.

I hope you will work on Buddhism.
