How to learn more about Buddhism?

1/23 update
I got to know the Buddha for the first time, so it was a good thing!
“Buddha's Poisonous Tongue” by Jun Hirano

From simple ones to super specialized books,

I've read a lot, and this is a pretty good book.

I was able to shatter what was written in difficult books very well.

It is a “super translation” of Buddha's words.
“It works! It's like “this potent drug...”

the real Buddha was poisonous!
not healed, not comforted,
It penetrates where it hurts. but it's addictive...
These are not words a saint is thankful for.
Flesh-and-blood words “if you cut, blood will come out” by those who have broken through extreme adversity.
A collection of quotes from “The Extreme Poisonous Language” Buddha that looks at the way it is.
▼Examples of publication
Throw away the idea that “the world binds you.”
What binds you to the world,
It's your own heart.
It is not uncommon for people to base their pride on the fact that they are elderly people.
They don't know that they are empty old people.
The idea of “ownership” is an illusion.
Just as the idea of an “immortal thing” is an illusion.
What kind of noise is it for those who live possessed by illusions.

I wonder if I'd like to learn from Buddha first.

I don't know about psychics, but I'm a monk who loves Buddhism.

And I was saved by studying Buddhism.

I myself am a Shingon sect.

Buddhism has a history of 2,500 years.

The range is wide, isn't it?

I feel that books are often difficult.

If you like it, email me from where I would like to know
Please call (if you have time).

Would you like to talk about Buddhism ☺️

Hello. I read your consultation.

I am happy that you are interested in Buddhism. No, in your case, I think you're looking for a way to be saved rather than seeking knowledge as an interest.

If that's the case, knowledge tends to come first when starting with books, so I think it would be better to think about it based on one's own reality while listening to Buddhist stories, but it's quite difficult to find a place to learn.

I'm the Jodo Shinshu sect, so the information is leaning towards that

Jodo Shinshu puja guide (you can search for information on puja events nationwide)
http://shinshuhouwa.info/

Tsukiji Honganji Temple (I think it's easy to get to in the Tokyo metropolitan area. (It seems that various places of learning have been opened)
https://tsukijihongwanji.jp/

Buddhist Missionary Association
http://www.bdk.or.jp/

etc. first came to mind. Information on zazen sessions also appears quite a bit on sites related to the Soto sect, so please look for it.

As an introductory book, I haven't come across anything called this yet... for now

・Buddhism is interesting because it's a live lecture! (Kodansha+α Bunko) Uogawa Yuji
・The easiest introduction to the Jodo Shinshu Buddhism from age 13 Ryukoku Sogo Gakuen
・Introduction to Buddhism from Zero Knowledge (Gentosha Practical Book Sprout Series) Osada Yukiyasu
・Basic knowledge of Buddhism Shunjusha Mizuno Hiromoto (the content is solid, but it may be difficult...)

I'll list things like that.

Actually, it might be best to ask a few questions first here at hasunoha.

Thank you for your question.
Yes, Buddhism is broad and profound, so I'm at a loss as to where to start. I became a monk at a Jodo sect temple, so I started with the teachings of the Jodo sect and learned the teachings of Shakyamuni and various teachings, and I'm still in the process of learning.
My parents' house is called the Soto sect, so I think it would be a good idea to attend zazen sessions and puja sessions at a Soto sect temple that my parents' house is close to.
If your parents' house or that temple is far away, why don't you check to see if there are any Soto temples in the area where you live now that have zazen ceremonies or puja sessions.
Also, I think it's a good idea to listen to the Dharma stories of other denominations after knowing the differences between each denomination. For example, in the Jodo sect, there is a puja every Sunday morning at 9 a.m., at Zojo-ji Temple, and I think other denominations also hold regular puja.
Although it is a recommended book, the “Buddhist Scriptures” (Buddhist Missionary Association) summarizes a wide range of teachings.
“Buddha Mari's Words” translated by Nakamura Gen (Iwanami Bunko) is good as a direct teaching of Shakyamuni, but “Buddha's Words of Life” by Miyashita Makoto (Nagaoka Bunko), which excerpts a few excerpts and explains them in an easy-to-understand manner, and the comic “People Surrounding Buddha 1.2” by Satonaka Machiko (Chuo Bunko) are also easy to read.
Also, I think books written by the ancestors of each denomination and books explaining them are also good.
Also, when it comes to short-term training, I think each sect has different details, so I think it's okay to decide what kind of things you want to learn first.
Everything in this world is made up of relationships. What causes fatigue in your head? It's important to find it.
Just because you've learned Buddhism doesn't necessarily mean you can find it and solve it, but I think it can be a hint for something.
For me, I think the most important thing is for you to be yourself and live without regrets the way you want to do it, and I support you so that you can do that.

(Title source “The Analects of Confucianism” lol lol)

Not a very kind answer, but...

Even if it's a book or story that I thought was “easy to understand,” it's not necessarily “easy to understand” for you...

Also, “something that really resonates with the heart” may just be “1 phrase” from a book with many pages...

If you've been interested in Buddhism, please look up the difficult technical terms one by one.
If another technical term comes up in that explanation, please look it up again.

At first, I think I'll be able to grasp words that only seem like tongue-in-cheek, but as I touch them over and over again, I think I'll be able to grasp something with Bon Yari over and over again.
I'm going to restate that bonjari in my own words in light of my own knowledge and experience...
I think that means “learning” and “understanding.”

Then, “Isn't that understanding wrong?” Inspect...

Don't think “let's learn without waste,” it's fine to “gather” at first.
The “dots” collected in this way are sometimes connected and become “lines.”

If you can experience that “understanding,” I think you'll want to learn even more deeply.

However, it is preferable to have a “teacher (teacher)” to inspect it.

Again, don't give up and keep searching until you meet someone who thinks “this person is...”
I think the Buddha's guidance... or rather a “relationship,” will always exist as long as you don't give up.

I hope you have a good relationship too...
