immortal

When you think about the difference between life and death
I'm always reminded of these words.
These are the words of a person named Issai Sato.

“If you pump seawater into a bowl and return the water to the sea, death and life are right around the corner.”
(Pour seawater into a bowl and return it back to the sea. The water in the vessel just returned to the original ocean, and it didn't just go away.
Your life and death are the same.)

I think “Immortality” can also be viewed in this way.

“What do you think is the definitive difference between being alive and being dead?”

In the first place, there is a definitive difference between being alive and being dead
Shouldn't we be able to tell?
I can only think so, so when I think about the differences, I feel like I'm somehow convinced by Issai Sato's words.

I mean
No matter what, I can only capture “death” as an idea (you may understand the fear of death, but it's not death.)
That's because I think the difference between life and death is nothing but a difference in ideas.
If it's an idea, it's like thinking about things, and it's safe to say that we can recognize life because there is death.
There is life because there is death. Since there is life, there is death.

Conversely, if there is no life, there is no death.
That's probably what “immortality” means.
However, since this “” is probably all an idea, it's hard to say that it's true.

The only answer I can give is my life or death.
What is important
I think that question is about knowing where you are coming from.
It is also important for those who follow the Buddha's path. It is also called the “Buddha's greatest importance.”
I see it that way.

Your life and death are in your own body
I hope you find the answers.
The words of a person named Issai Sato
I would appreciate it if you could use it as a reference.

Namu Shakyamuni Buddha Gassho

When my dad was alive, my father said and did things like this in response to my own opinions.
Sometimes he said words that made me feel disappointed.

They're not saying anything right now. I'm just delusional that it might be like this. My glorified father is one of my signposts.
I had never imagined his feelings for his father before he was alive.

Korean aunts said it on the train when I went to Korea
“We want to be good ancestors, don't we?”

People have a “self that sees” and a “self that can be seen.”
When you die, the person you see yourself (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind) will be separated. Just like water disperses as water vapor.
Meanwhile, the influence of the seen self (color, voice, flavor, touch) remains. Even if your parents die, make sure your parents' words stay in your heart.

Immortality says, “In the first place, I have no self anywhere: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, color, voice, scent, taste, touch, or law. I'm just under the illusion that something that isn't me is temporarily gathered and that it's me. So in the first place, there's no such thing as being born or being destroyed. You are not in the world; you are originally the world itself. Water vapor, water, mountains, rivers, plants, and trees are all in this world, right? You are with us. That's why the changing world changes, but I continue to exist as an unwavering world and as my big self. There's nothing to worry about.” That's it.

The fact that water becomes steam
Speaking of change, it can be said that it will change.
If I say it won't change, I can say it won't change.
Being “free” in between these differences is what Buddhist “peace of mind” (anjin) is. It doesn't matter what answer is definitive.

In fact, when there is a Buddha, they say “Buddha is the universe itself,” and at other times, they also say “I dare to live as a person (myself) in order to save sentient beings.” It's free, isn't it? Because they are selfless, they are free.

Even if you die, you won't stay dead.
You'll be reincarnated into a new life the next moment.
Therefore, there is almost no such thing as a dead state, so there is no point in thinking about that.
That's because the karaage chicken I ate yesterday may actually have been chicken meat that was replaced by a deceased ancestor.
Even if you die, you may be reborn as a fertilized egg of a cockroach the next moment, and you may be born as a Bodhisattva in the lotus flower in the Pure Land of Paradise.
“After death” varies depending on what you are born into.

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

“Hachifunchudo” is a teaching taught to understand that “everything is auspicious and empty.”

Of course, even though there is a “no,” it doesn't mean “nothing” at all.

Everything, life and death, can be established as “good luck.”

However, what can be established as “good fortune” is “empty,” in other words, “no substance.”

We, ordinary people, have lost their way and suffer by creating the illusion that something without an entity has an entity, and we are trapped.

Life and death are also separated from life and death, and they are trapped as if life were an entity, as if death were an entity.

“Hachifunchudo” explains that there is no speck of such an entity.

By all means, I would be grateful if you could work on that understanding starting with Ryuju Daishi's “Fundamental Middle Theory.”

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

The difference between being alive and being dead.
More than that, are they living and dying the way they live or not!
That would be more important to you and everyone else.

What does immortality mean?
It means “the world is inherently devoid of human opinions.”
The true state of oneself is revealed by performing zazen Buddhism, and the muddy dregs of my own opinion sink and become as clear as Buddhism.
Many people think of it as an “outside thing,” where something outside lives, dies, increases or decreases.
When you lose your life and death as you are, the immortality of Buddhism is immortality.
So a contradiction arises.
When we look at things, we unknowingly think (were) in our own way. The Buddha was the first person in human history to notice this.
() “OMG..., when I was looking at things, I was adding this and that in my own way...!”
I realized that people were worried and suffering because of “it.” (What is G) Humans can be saved by adding thoughts to facts.
It's a great discovery in human history.
When people look at things, they probably think right after.
It's not about the “thing (thing)” I saw; I value what I thought right after. (
Wide shows do that rather. When someone causes an incident, everyone thinks in their own way. I'm watching the “Second World Theater in the Brain,” called Birth and Destruction, Gains and Losses.
It's not “there.”
When we look at things without personal opinion or selfishness, there are situations where life and death, cleanness, right and wrong, right and wrong due to notions do not happen to us.

If you look at the forest, you can call it life, but there is also a lot of death in the soil, and the trees are now overgrown with nutrients. Life beyond death.
What do you call this. If you put it into words, it will fall apart.
That's because it's a world that looks at it with “opinions” (thoughts and ways of thinking).

Live.
Live broadcast of life.
Live broadcast of death.
When you're alive, you really live beyond life and death. I'm breathing.
When you die, there is nothing but “death.”
The person himself is not even aware of it. That's death.
When it's raw, it's raw. The only time of death is death.

Other than that, “the mind doesn't leave.”
When the mind leaves, the mind develops its own opinion on death for that person, thinking that they will go somewhere when they die, or that they will go to hell or paradise.
Immortality is teaching you the best heart where your heart never leaves.
