Is the afterlife different depending on religion?

I'm indebted to you.

I read a lot of questions and consultations to myself here, and people who feel similar to myself.

What I see closely is that after death, in Buddhism, everyone is the same, whether they committed suicide or a life where they did bad things, and the Buddha led them to the Pure Land.

However, from another point of view, suicide does the same thing all the time and suffers in the afterlife...
like suffering from repeated acts of suicide...
I hear that there are things like going to hell, etc... there are mountains of needles, etc...

Also, it seems that our ancestors have accumulated ascetic practices and gone to the top...

What kind of place is my husband in, and what kind of training is he doing...
Also, are you in the same place as your ancestors who went upstairs?

Every day I think...

Important question

It's been a while. We look forward to welcoming you again.

I'm wondering if the loss of my husband has made me feel a little more calm, even though there is no shortage of sorrow and loneliness.

Now, does the destination of the deceased differ depending on their religion? If it was the 00 sect, would they go to 00, and if it were the △△ religion, would they go to △△?

But no one actually saw the deceased go there and confirmed it.

In other words, the destination of the deceased does not differ depending on religion, but differs depending on the person who thinks about the deceased's destination.
More specifically, the destination of the deceased is something that can only be clarified not as “the destination of the deceased himself,” but as “the destination of the deceased person for me,” and only as a problem for those who think. It's not the deceased's problem; it's my problem.

What will happen to me when I die? The steps to confirm this are religious studies, and in fact, it was the deceased who gave me that learning. At that time, the deceased was discovered as someone who gave me important questions.

The deceased's hesitation is my hesitation. My peace of mind is the peace of the deceased. The dead haven't left us anymore.
Let's live with the important questions we received from our husband in our hearts.

There are various expressions depending on the religious denomination.

though
none of them can be scientifically proven
I don't know if it's right or wrong.

I just believe what I want to believe.
I'm the Jodo Shinshu
I believe that all those who have died have passed away in the Pure Land
Or rather, I want to believe it.
I wonder what kind of way they died
without falling into hell
I want to believe that Amida Nyorai will save me.

A study

What will happen if they die? But as a matter of fact, it can be said that I don't really understand it. I think there is a world after death (separate from denominations), but I don't understand what happened before I was born, and I can't explain what happened after death.
But in reality, everyone probably knows it, but they've probably forgotten it. Rather, it may be a mechanism that makes you forget. I think it's because I can live my life more seriously that way.

Even Buddhism interprets this issue quite differently depending on the denomination and even from individual to individual. Moreover, there is even an argument that there is no life after death.
In any case, you are free to decide what you believe, and if you can stabilize your mind by doing that, I think that's fine.

However, it is true that we were born with meaning, and we all have our own experiences. It's not that we're living meaninglessly, and it can be said that there is meaning in being alive no matter what the circumstances are. In other words, it can be said that they went out of their way to be born.

Furthermore, no matter what the reason is, no matter what the reason is, even if death is chosen, it is actually just a change in the body, and I think the soul and consciousness continue (I), so I don't think it's over, and it continues as it is. In that sense, it can be said that death did not free us from all suffering and trouble. So I can't explain what happened because the dimensions are different (there is no body).
In that sense, there is a great need for funerals, memorial services, and memorial services.

Also, there are strange phenomena in the world that cannot be explained. For example, conversations with the dead or seeing the invisible world are not completely denied, but complete proof is difficult at present.

Kayama is troubled by various things and has questions through her husband, but this is by no means a coincidence, and I think it has some meaning.
I don't think I would be in the same state of mind as I am now if I didn't need to learn about the afterlife, religion, or anything like that at all.
The couples, parents and children, and siblings in this life aren't all coincidental.

It's not an answer that satisfies you enough, but first of all, I would like to pray that you will be satisfied and have a stable life.

And I think the day will come when we will know the truth.
I wonder if that's how it works.

Thank you for your question.
Each religion has its own interpretation of the afterlife, but for me personally, I only ask Amida while chanting Nembutsu, “May I meet my family again in the Pure Land of Paradise.”
No matter what religion you or your husband are, I hope we can meet again sometime or another. I hope you guys keep an eye on your families until then.
