Family Minister

The other day, my family had a lot to do, so I went to a fortune teller's place.

So, the fortune teller was told that the family situation was bad, but it's impossible to rebuild it now, and is it true that if the family situation is bad, misfortune will occur in the family?

I'm worried about the future.

Good things and bad things always happen in life

Mom-sama

I read it
I'm curious about the fortune teller's words

but please think about it calmly
No matter what kind of house you live in
When people are alive
Good things too
Bad things too
It's something that always happens

I think it's important how you perceive things at that time

The Outer Way and the Inner Way: Do you look at the problem from within or outside

I read your consultation.

I've also read the previous ones, and since there were so many things, I understand the feeling that you want to rely on fortune telling.

But haven't you already failed in your fortune telling before?

How about this even if I ask my fortune telling? When it comes to that, what I believe in the most is myself. In other words, you're not looking for a fortune; you're probably looking for something that responds to your desires, right?

The problem with that was Buddhism, and I think the monk's answer was to consistently seek Buddhism.

If family affairs were to cause misfortune to the family, it would probably be due to something that has some scientific basis, such as being on land with a lot of humidity or that the ground is loose. Other than that, I don't think there is any basis for so-called family affairs.
However, “the cause of unhappiness is family history,” and when people say that, human hearts are weak, so it's tempting to think about it in connection with it. This is because if you blame it, in a sense, it's easier not to take responsibility for misfortune. Then they finally lose their subjectivity.

Buddhism does not take away subjectivity in that way. So they don't clearly tell me “do this” about secular matters. You'll feel like something isn't enough.
However, true salvation is not about hiding your eyes from reality and deceiving it; it is something that gives you the power to finally face reality.
There are plenty of teachings out there that can help with reality, but all of them treat Buddhism as an outward path.
Buddhism is internal law. It's a teaching about looking within oneself. Find a place where you can truly respond to your current anxiety.

As a monk, of course, I recommend Buddhism rather than fortune telling.

That's a big lie.

“Bad fortune is like a raging rope”
There is no way that a family minister can influence the happiness and misfortune of life.

Houses are just easy to live in or difficult to live in.
That stress can also affect the mind and body,
It's much more stressful to be misled by family fortune telling.

Unhappiness never comes because of the floor plan

 For example, it is said that a kitchen should not be placed on the west side, because food is easily damaged in the western sun. Placing a toilet on the east side originally had a realistic meaning, such as because the wind always passes from west to east due to westerly winds, so if there is a toilet in the west, it is smelly, etc., but in this day and age where there are refrigerators and flush toilets are fully equipped, there is no need to worry about family conditions at all. Unhappiness doesn't come because of the floor plan.
