I began to think that the Rikudo exists in this world.

Nice to meet you, hello.

Recently, I've come to think that the Rikudo is our current state of mind.

Up until now, I've been a liar and a really sly person.
It seems like I've only done things that my friends and family can't make up for.
I now think my heart may have fallen on Gaki, Damn it, Shura, etc.

And I think this state of being worried about my own foolishness up until now, and only rushing in with hopeless regrets is hell.

However, when you think about reincarnation, the theory is that this will be passed on to the next life through causal retaliation.

So will I be reincarnated with this sin from now on?

I'm not very familiar with Buddhism, so I'm not sure,
Is my way of thinking wrong?

Thank you for your support.

Rikudo is a state of mind

Hello, Kokono-san. My name is Sadamaki Akazawa.

“Rikudo is in this world”... I think this is a very good interpretation, and I will create a world for my heart to experience.

Even though what you're eating is the same, it's like saying that a meal with your boyfriend is delicious, but a meal with someone you don't like is bad. Depending on the state of your mind at that time, you will become a Buddha or hell.

Not only “Buddha” but also “Hell” is enshrined in the principal image of my temple. It shows that not only precious things, but also painful things are objects of respect.
The interpretation is “there is hell in the Buddha, and there is a Buddha in hell.”

If Kokono-san is a “really sly person who tells lies,” please become someone who forgives others' lies starting today.
If you're a “sly person,” please be someone who doesn't judge others even if they see their sly.

“Cause and effect theory” means “the reason I can forgive people's sins now is because I've been forgiven my sins in the past.”
Being able to become a new self in the wake of sin is called reincarnation.

So reincarnation isn't about the future; it's about “here and now.”
Exactly “when are you going to do it now, right?”

I don't think it's hell

Nice to meet you, Kokono-san.
My name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an.
Even though you're a teenager and young, you know the term Rikudo, and you've thought about it.

As you probably know, the Rikudo are the six worlds of hell, hunger, animal life, humans, Shura, and heaven, and we have been reincarnated and transformed into death. If you do good things, you'll be born in the human world or the celestial world, and if you do bad things, you'll be born in the world of hell and Shura. And the ultimate purpose of Buddhism is to break away from this six-way reincarnation.

People a long time ago may have thought that the Rikudo World actually existed, but now, as Koko says, I think there are many cases where people think of it as this world, or rather their own state of mind.

Heaven: A state of excitement with a lot of fun.
Shura: A state of constant strife, dominated by anger.
Hell: A state where you can't listen to or understand what the other person is saying.
Gaki: I'm in a state of devouring that and I want this and that.
Damn it: A state dominated by foolishness.

The five worlds above touch on the extreme of pleasure or pain. Heaven is not an ideal world, and in Buddhism, it is a state where we must get rid of that either.

The remaining human world is in a neutral state, with both ease and suffering. And I think humans cannot aim for enlightenment unless they are in this world where hardships and pleasures are shared.

I used to say that Kokono-san was a liar and a sly person. It certainly may have been Gaki, Damn, or Shura's heart.
But now you're reflecting on it and regretting it. I don't think that state of affairs is hell. Justifying yourself as a liar and being sly and belittling your partner is a state of hell. I think Koko-san's heart, which is tormented by remorse and regret, is in the human world right now.

You are properly aware of the inconvenience you have caused to others, and you are trying to accept the causes and effects of this world in this world. I think this time is a time of training leading to growth for Kokono-san.

Lucky 7.

I'm not a Buddhist to keep in mind that reincarnation in the Rikudo
I have heard that breaking away from reincarnation is the Buddha's teaching.

Whether it's boiled in a pot or a pile of needles used in the appearance of hell, hell is not hot water or needles themselves, and I think the path will be divided depending on how you use it, whether it causes pain or warmth to people.

If you look not only at what you have done, but also at what you have received, and the way you relate to it changes, I think the future will change.

As an aside, I've heard that the number 7 carries good luck because it surpasses the six roads, so it's called Lucky Seven.

I hope you can walk a good path without being influenced by unseen anxiety.

I think the world of the Rikudo will change depending on how you have your heart (^_^).

I often get bothered by many things in my life.
It's really hard to get around in my head.
Humans have a word for remorse. Also, you can start over with various things.
When you stand up to start over with your life, the world of the Rikudo in front of you will change (^_^).
Let's change our perspective and get involved with the world.
It's okay if you fail!!. The monks registered in Hasunoha and people watching your hard work will support you.
This world is going to be heaven and hell, just like in the heart.

What do you think

 Here's the one. There may be a saying that there is a six-way reincarnation, but this kind of thought comes from India's caste system. It is said that one of the reasons Buddha started Buddhism is to liberate people from Indian society (from the caste system) mediated by Brahmin religion from that time on. If you directly criticize the caste system, you will be oppressed, so they changed the name to “Heaven, Man, Shura, Gaki, Beast, Hell,” and they developed a belief that they would be freed from here. Therefore, there should never be discrimination in Buddhism.
Freedom and equality are now promised in Japan under the Constitution. Therefore, I think it's good for those who believe in it as one of their own ways of life, like Mr. here, but I would like you to keep it as a guideline about your current state of mind without saying which one will be when you are reincarnated in the next life. Nor should you criticize others by devoting themselves to the Rikudo.
I would like you to take this opportunity to help and snuggle up to people who are in trouble, people who are being bullied, and people who are being criticized. I think there are many ways to help, but...

Breaking out of the cycle of bad lifestyle called the Rikudo is Buddhism

Realistically speaking, the six ways are as follows.
There is pain in this heart that cannot be wiped away, and this is hell (world).
There is an egocentric craving in this heart, and this is a hungry ghost.
There is an inhuman nature in this mind, and this is damn bad.
There is a sense of hate and strife in this heart, and this is shambles.
There is ideological speculation in this heart, and this is human.
There is arrogance and a sense of pleasure in this heart, and this is heaven.
Buddhism (mitekitano), which talks about the world of dead words as if there were any, is that it is unbelievable (._.) because it has no basis or cannot be proven.
The story-rich teachings “Santa Is There” and “Heaven Is There” are also teachings that preach that way, but they are ridiculed by good adults and rational scientist-type people, saying, “Is Buddhism at that level?”
The fact that Buddha was born and has taken 7 steps symbolizes that we should move one step ahead from this bad habit called the Rikudo, break out of the cycle of suffering, and seek enlightenment.
・ “Reincarnation” is a reason for a change of mind where you have already freed yourself from your previous state of anxiety, and now you are living there with a different heart than before, and you should not talk about being reborn after death.
・ “Cause and effect retaliation” is the principle that if a cause is created, it will appear as an effect, and the royal interpretation is that it is not linked to otherworldly thoughts.
There are some Buddhist books in the world that are funny, have a funny story, and say crazy things, but there are proper teachings for children for small children and teachings for adults, so I think it's time for you to seek rational Buddhism too.
The reason why connecting to the other world or after death isn't very good is that there is no scientific basis, and it ends in fantasy and imaginary Buddhism, so normal people outside of the Buddhist sphere can't believe it at all.
That kind of story is convenient for the type of person who is easier to understand,
Don't worry, there are realistic teachings for people like me and you who aren't satisfied with that.
Expose your sins in front of the Buddha (meaning to face your honest self) in front of the person who caused trouble, and make it clear and repent by saying “I'm sorry.”

shame, reincarnation, causal retribution...

Like here

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

“I'm worried about my own foolishness up until now, and only rushing in with unavoidable regrets”... shame is important. I was also allowed to handle the following questions.

The question “How do I get out of my feelings of regret?”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/225
Question “I can't change my mind.”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/178

Good deeds from regret, remorse, and shame are important. This means, of course, never repeating similar mistakes again, making sincere apologies and making amends, and generally striving for better deeds.

Reincarnation, causal retaliation... anyway, when you first think about the problem of accumulation of acts (karma) in this world, for example, if you want to eliminate the accumulation of bad acts against friends and family that have caused trouble, make sincere apologies and make amends, and endeavor to do good deeds (simply good deeds that are useful and good acts that are useful for others), and I think it is possible to erase that accumulation of bad deeds.

Actually, try to sincerely apologize and make amends to that friend or family member. I'm sure you'll be able to feel that the heart (inheritance) has suffered less than its current state.

Of course, not limited to this, if we end this life with the accumulation of several bad karma remaining, that state (of mental inheritance) will have a big impact on the next life in reincarnation, and the practice of karma that has been accumulated from past lives will also have an impact.

I think the following questions will also be helpful when it comes to matters after death.

The question “What happens when you die?”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/123
Question “About your ancestors”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/153
Question “When you die, you go to hell”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/203

Anyway, saying that there is no afterlife is inappropriate because it leads to the theory of annihilation, but rather than after death, I think it would be preferable to first think about how to adjust the state of mental inheritance in this world through confirmed Buddhist relationships and good works.
