Why is it that in Buddhism, regardless of denomination, people don't speak thankfully to take away everyone's fear of death from believers, and they say “I don't know what will happen after death”? Comparing them seems presumptuous, but in both Christianity and Islam, they preach promises about what will happen after death for the time being.
I read it.
Buddhism teaches that people are reincarnated in the six ways after death. In other words, I am teaching that people are born again after death. Those reincarnated places go to Hell, Gakki, Beast, Shura, humans, and heaven due to actions during their lifetime.
Wherever you go, there is more or less hesitation and suffering.
It is the teaching of Buddhism that aims to be saved from that hesitation and suffering. In other words, the Jodo religion teaches how to get saved from hesitation and suffering, get away, be saved by the Buddha, and attain Buddhism with peace of mind under the Buddha.
It's hard for us to completely escape our hesitation, selfishness, anger, and hatred during our lives. It is a difficult path to attain Buddhism by opening Satori during your lifetime.
Therefore, when that life comes to an end, I always ask the Buddha to guide me, ask the Buddha with all my heart to take me to the Pure Land of Paradise, which is the country of the Buddha, and keep quiet with Nembutsu.
Namu Amida Buddha always saves whatever you ask the Buddha by sincerely humming him with all his heart.
Therefore, Buddhism clearly explains the world after death. Buddha, Kannon, and Jizo promise to save everyone.
There are probably various opinions on this, so I think it's okay to ask monks from various denominations.
Please use it as a reference.
As you asked, when it comes to things after death, there are things that show the world that progresses every 7 days after death, such as Juou Sanshou. Also, in Nichiren Shonin's calligraphy, it also touches on things after death, saying, “In the Sanzu River, it becomes a large white cow cart, in the mountain of death, it becomes a light, and a bridge to reach a sacred mountain.”
It's not like I never talk about things after death, and I believe that the spirits of those who died are immortal, partly due to the influence of my parents. Therefore, I can be sure that there is a world after death.
However, what happens when you die is unclear. “Death” is simply the destruction of the body, and I think the soul and consciousness continue as they are, but at least, I don't think it can be recognized in this three-dimensional world, and if you know whether it's more complicated or simple, you get rid of the fear that Tomoya says. I guess we can talk.
However, why didn't Buddha say that, so the vague answer, such as that there is no afterlife, is that we don't know what happened before we were born, and we actually forget it even though we all know it, but we make an effort to find meaning in living by forgetting it. Similarly, even though I know about things after death, I've forgotten them. I think it might be.
However, the saints called masters probably know (understand) the mechanism. Therefore, since I know the past and future, I was probably able to live without anxiety in the present. However, it means that it is for people's salvation, not for individual pleasure.
The world after death spans a wide range of topics, such as pictures of hell and stories about the Pure Land of Paradise, all of which are messages to people living now, and furthermore, these are not after death, there is hell in this world, and I have experienced moments of happiness, pleasure, peace, and happiness. I think the reason I didn't talk about what happened after death is that I live as a human being in order to make an effort, work hard for the present, and recognize various things.
No one can guarantee that you will be able to go to paradise after death or that you will go to hell. Until now, the dead have returned and I've never heard “Oh, Paradise was good” (there was a song like that a long time ago), and “Muken Jigoku was like this.” If so, things after death have long been elucidated. But I think the importance of living now lies in the fact that this is not the case, and why.
Tomoyasama
In Buddhism, there are treatises that describe in detail the state of affairs after death, but among them, there is a Japanese translation, and what even we can learn is Master Yangchen Garo's “Light that clearly clarifies the basic structure of the three bodies.”
“The Gelk School Edition: The Tibetan Book of the Dead” Gakken Bunko (translated by Dr. Koichi Hiraoka)
Also, I also recommend the following books.
“The Tibetan Book of Life and Death” Kodansha Bunko (by Sogyal Rinpoche)
I hope you can use it as a reference.
