Satomi-sama
This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi.
Cerebrospinal fluid penia... it's a difficult and intractable disease... definitive treatment has not yet been established, and insurance coverage for treatment is difficult... I'm very worried...
Even under such circumstances, I am truly grateful that you are spending your time without forgetting the feeling of “gratitude.”
In particular, I am disgusted by “selfish” people like Satomi, and understanding that nothing is so “natural” is really important in order not to waste your life. I truly want to cherish this “thank you” life as much as possible.
Actually, the etymology of “thankful” comes from Buddhism. Literally, “having” is “difficult,” and is rarely rare, but being able to receive life as a human being, and even being able to encounter the teachings of the Buddha, derives from the fact that it is actually difficult, and it is an expression of what is important, valuable, and even more thankful, and currently, it has become an exclusively “thank you” that generally expresses gratitude.
The origin of this is in the metaphor “Blind Kame Driftwood,” where the Buddha actually told an anecdote.
As a metaphor for being born to his disciple Anan, an invisible turtle that lives in the endless expanse of the sea, that turtle rises to the surface of the water and comes out once every 100 years, but there is a driftwood floating in the ocean, and there is just a small hole in that driftwood that the turtle's head can pass through, and by chance, when that turtle rises to the surface of the water, it just so happens that when that turtle rises to the surface of the water, its head is spotted in that driftwood and that small hole You said that it is even more difficult to live as a human being even more difficult than such a thing is possible.
Of course, even if you are born as a human being, there is Buddhism, and when it comes to opportunities to encounter that Buddhism, it is even more difficult, and you have to be even more grateful.
As Mr. Inoue said, I would be very happy if you would take this opportunity to have faith in and learn about Buddhism as one of those opportunities.
This time, I came across Hasunoha, asked questions, and if you thought “thank you” for your answers, and if you hit “thank you”, then I would really like to say “thank you.”
