An older person at work said, “Mr. ◯◯ has impermanent actions, isn't he?” It wasn't said during a conversation, but out of the blue. I couldn't ask that person directly what it meant. No matter how much I thought about it, I don't know if it meant a good meaning or a bad meaning, or if it gave me a hint to notice something. How should we interpret this phrase?
The meaning is certainly unclear.
Everything is like impermanent behavior,
What it means is that everything that lies ahead is
It is said that they change while sticking together and falling apart
It's from the perspective of someone who has understood the truth that Buddhism preaches.
Maybe you're someone who doesn't show much emotion at work?
That's why they are calm, they're people who aren't too upset, they're quiet,
I wonder if it means
In terms of that person's feelings,
I envy you for looking so unfazed,
I wish they'd come even closer in a psychological sense
There might also be such a thing.
Or is it just an impression and there are no particular feelings?
I'm not sure.
“Mr. ◯◯ has erratic behavior, isn't it?”
Simply put, [erratic conduct] means that things are constantly changing and changing, and there is nothing that doesn't change. Since it's a story about the state of all kinds of things, it's impossible for some people to say that their actions are impermanent, but others aren't impermanent. Therefore, it is not a word that refers to someone in a limited way, such as “Mr. ◯◯.”
The older people in the workplace in question don't run out of time to consider whether they wanted to praise or disparage you, but it's probably what's called a cover you know. Might be a little embarrassing...
Also, when people say, “Mr. ◯◯ has erratic behavior,” there is no logical problem even if you say “you too,” but your opponent is an elderly person, and it's boring even if they stand at a corner, so let's stop it.
Hello, Mr. Nemashikusa.
You were told, “Mr. ◯◯ has impermanent actions, isn't it?”
I don't know if that boss's Buddhist knowledge and beliefs, and the situations where those words were uttered, so I don't know if it's positive or negative.
I was made aware of the Buddha's laws and truths of the universe because “various acts are impermanent (the world is changing)” and “there are no laws (the world is related).” The foundation of Buddha's teachings is that living actively based on this law is the correct way to live. This is called an “impermanent view.”
However, in Japan, it is used as a phrase lamenting the sadness of change where happiness does not last, as the famous phrase “The Sound of the Bell at Gion Seisha” in the Taira Family Monogatari suggests. This is called a “sense of impermanence,” and it is the exact opposite view of “impermanent view.”
If your boss knows about that and sees your active way of life, he says, “You're like an impermanent person. It's probably the best compliment if you're praising “living by accepting the difficulties of various changes.” But usually, “He's a person whose actions seem impermanent. There may be many cases where they criticize “they are suffering from being swayed by various changes.”
If your way of life is positive, accept your boss's words as an “impermanent view,” and live your life happily. Gassho

① Humans say what they think.
Everyone is just saying what they think. Whether you have a partner or not, you're just saying what you think, so let's know that there's no need to take everything up separately.
Well, if I had to guess, it would be good to accept that growth and change are fast, such as not staying in one place, changing appearance a lot, or not keeping up with what was before.
How that person uses words is due to that person's humanity and sensitivities. However, by learning the meaning and true meaning of the words impermanent conduct, both good and bad will be blown away.
I personally feel that 90% of the various acts and imperfections described in popular Buddhist books do not clearly explain the content.
Even though Buddha is described as the content of salvation, there are many things that later generations of scholars and people with strong subjectivity made mischievous explanations and added sentimental/negative meanings, and there are many textbooks and dictionaries that simply explain physical/logical reasons.
Even elementary school students will learn that things change. If it is Buddhism that preaches such a thing, then it cannot be said that it is something that can be worshipped.
Even if it is a Buddhist book explaining Buddhism, it cannot be said that the content is certain because the Buddhist books written by people who have not properly learned Buddhism are “Buddhism thought with the head.”
Impermanent behavior is a teaching that explains the supreme saving function that humans have, and it shows that ❝ appearances ❞ of everything projected in one's body and mind have ❝ certain laws ❞.
The words you were told don't appear anywhere anymore.
The same thing is written here for ●▼■ mentioned at the beginning of the sentence, but it's also different from the one above.
As it is explained that even if a river goes to the same place, its water is not the original one, so every thing or thing that is reflected in one's body and mind is completely different, no matter what one thing you take. Not being able to stay means it's not a world for thought. All the sounds, scenery, and TV images you're experiencing right now are probably not all from before.
It always seems like something new is coming, and on the other hand, it also seems like they are leaving. Let's take a look at the fact that the human view and logic of coming and leaving just keeps happening and appearing.
I think I also misused it because I agreed with Senrakuin, and I think I misused it. If you don't listen much to people's opinions and walk independently, “everything is impermanent, isn't it?” I think I've said that. If I had to say that, “the horse is eastward.” It should be. Ma Ji Dongfeng is “listening without worrying about people's opinions or criticism at all.”
