Simple, straightforward thinking

When I have worries or insecurities,
What makes you think about things in a complicated way and get confused in your head
This is a recent problem.
How can we think things simply and clearly?
Even if you have problems, keep it simple and simple
I wish I could live a simple life, but when I start to worry no matter what
It makes me think about a lot of things.
Thank you for your support.

Think about that itself simply

Train to think without using the words “but because, why, me, me,”
If you don't compose and send a sentence that ends with “i,” the problem will be solved.

One more
We often want to put one line through things, but it's okay if multiple lines go through the way we think like humans are standing on two legs.

I'm rooting for you.

What's wrong with complicated

 HIBIKUKAGAYAKU They ask complicated questions every time. This question is also very difficult.
“Can you think things simply and clearly?”
As for my answer, I don't think it's good to think simply and clearly. Good and evil within yourself. It probably means deciding whether it's good or bad. This sees things as prejudice. I look at humans in a discriminatory way. What's wrong with gray, not white, not black. Deciding what is good or bad with a small amount of information may cause you to lose even your own important things.
Hibikukagayaku is still in her teens, so please read various books, watch lots of videos, and make an effort to be a good listener so that you can hear the opinions of both supporters and opponents. Sometimes form a self where you can objectively, calmly, and neutrally look at yourself and even your family. I think you could definitely become one.

Zen

Zen itself was simple even before he was known as Steve Jobs.
It shows the importance of simplicity, so much so that it's read as ZEN.
huh? That's because it “shows” “single,” and that's because it's “zen.”
People in the world seem to think that there is something called “simple thinking,” but in terms of Zen, there is no such teaching. If you learn from the real thing, it will naturally be “single.” Nothing complicated.
When it comes to cooking, failure is failure. Burning is burning. If it's a loaf of bread, there's no problem if you cut off the burnt surface.
Rather than looking at “single” as a complicated antonym of simple, simple, look at it as a state before human thought is sandwiched between them.
You place importance on ideas and thoughts such as how to theoretically work, etc., and you probably haven't seen the real thing.
When it comes to martial arts, then I'm at a loss. It gives your opponent a chance to hit it in.
It's simpler to look at a real person and respond flexibly to it rather than making a decision in advance to say this to your opponent.
The fundamental state of things is called Zen.
・ Fukujinzuke I picked up vegetables that had drifted into the sea and soaked them in soy sauce.
・Yokohama performance It was built by collecting debris from the earthquake, crushing it, and landfilling it.
・Turn cookies that are useless just from Starbucks into powder and topped
I always see such innovations and ideas in real life, so ideas spring up.

“Sky and Good Luck”

Hibikukagayaku

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

Similar to Daitetsu-sama, the monism or dualistic way of thinking is extreme and prone to prejudice, and I don't think it's very appropriate in Buddhism, which preaches the “middle way.”

Of course, if this world were originally simple and simple, the answers would be simple, no problems would arise, and there would be no way for trouble or suffering to occur.

No, maybe it is more accurate to think that even though it is originally a simple and simple world, ignorance (fundamental ignorance) and worry have made us too complicated and strange, causing us to be caught, obsessed, and quarreled, and that we are worried and suffering. The fact that Buddhism sometimes aims for a state of reckless wisdom or far-fetched theory can also be seen in part.

So, when it comes to how simple and simple this world is, I know if it's possible to answer “sky,” and that's just simple and simple. Of course, even though it is “sky,” existence exists, and it is assumed that it has been hypothetically established as “luck.” You can think that the problem is that each thing with this auspicious relationship is viewed as a reality, causing them to get caught up, obsessed, and quarreled.

Therefore, for one thing, this world is certainly explained as being “empty” and simple, but this is to understand that in this world of multiple fortunes, this is to see this as a reality and understand that there is nothing that can be determined.

Also, in a world formed by this “good fortune,” it is also important to understand that even “sky” is not “nothing,” and that various things are formed due to countless interdependent relationships. It includes not only existence, but also concepts. Right and evil, life and death, presence or absence, superiority or inferiority... there is also uncertainty.

For example, it is an understanding that there is no substance in lost suffering, and that enlightenment and nirvana have no substance, but are possible due to “good fortune.”

... well, it is precisely because there is hesitation and suffering that it is possible to prove enlightenment or nirvana through a certain “relationship” (Buddhist connection or good root). If there is no hesitation and suffering, you may just keep wandering through ignorance without even trying to aim for enlightenment in the first place. Buddhism also begins when people lose their way and suffer.
