Is my fortune determined by something?

Nice to meet you, Mr. Tsuchinoko.
It's about whether life is influenced by luck, but I think it must be said NO from a Buddhist perspective.
Every outcome has a cause, and there is a connection between those results.
People easily call it luck when they don't know the cause.
I wrote good cause and effect and bad cause and bad cause and bad effect in the title, but they can also be expressed with the words causal retribution and self-worth.
For example, people always reach the end of their lives. (results)
The reason for this is because they were born.
When it comes to ending a life, it's an illness or an accident.
People don't die because they're unlucky.
Does Tsuchinoko say that the lucky people and bad people are good causes and good effects, and bad causes and bad causes and bad effects?

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

In Buddhism, fatalism, and determinism are rejected as ways of thinking contrary to the “middle way.”

If you assume that everything has already been decided by fate, destiny, or decision, then from now on, everything may be denied and made meaningless, regardless of what and how you live, whether you make an effort, or whether you do something bad, or whether you do something good.

The theory of fatalism, fatalism, and determinism may fall into extreme optimism or extreme nihilism or pessimism, and they are prejudices and opinions that should be rejected in Buddhism.

As Mr. Fujinori Masashi has already said, the reason why causality is emphasized in Buddhism is that good causes and conditions are necessary for good results, and it is necessary to adjust those good causes and conditions as appropriate.

It's really difficult, but where the fine consciousness and mental continuum (mental inheritance) that continues even after death is destroyed depends on the cause and effect of one's own work, not anyone else's.

Therefore, as much as possible, I want to cherish this time and work hard to do good deeds now that I am somehow being kept alive through various relationships.

Thank you so much for posting to hasunoha.

The difference is
I think I think of myself as a lucky person or an unlucky person.

I think whether you can be happy or not depends on how you give meaning to things, so
I think the perception that “you are not lucky” is the cause of repeated bad events.

For example, [morning fortune telling]

If my seat is 1st,
The sky was clear that day, there was a sudden happy event,
Every event that happens in a day, even if it's something you wouldn't normally feel
Connect it to the first place in the fortune telling, recognize it as a “good event,” and repeat it.

Conversely, if fortune telling is at the bottom,
Falling down or feeling something bad
Each event that wouldn't normally be linked to fortune telling in particular,
“Because today was at the bottom,” they recognize that day as an “unlucky day.”

Like this, it depends on how you look at things, it depends on how you connect them
Good things overlap and bad things overlap.
In this case, whether Tsuchinoko believes in fortune telling or not is not particularly relevant,
I think they're similar in terms of how to connect things.

If you just think “I'm an unlucky person”
Be a little careless about good luck and sensitive to bad luck
With 1 bad luck rather than 10 good luck
I tend to think, “Look, I'm unlucky after all...”

(Of course, I'm not saying that Tsuchinoko doesn't feel happy, so don't be bad...!! > <)

If you look at things and your point of view is your point of view, only bad things will happen in today's world, your own life, and things.
But the opposite is also true.
Isn't Tsuchinoko also “moving in the right direction as a result”?

The fortune hasn't been decided.
What matters is whether you think of it as good luck or bad luck.

For now, no matter what, every time there is something,
I was lucky! Let's overrate it ♪ lol

Thank you very much.
