germophilia

I'm always indebted to you.

There is something that surprised me
It seems that Yoshihiro took good care of fleas and lice in his own pocket.
Also, despite the fact that very dirty matter flows through the Ganges River in India
It seems that they are bathing in the river without any problems.

It's a story I can't think of.
I really like being pretty,
I'm hesitant to use shoes I haven't washed that much
I end up doing too much laundry.

It would be nice if a love for being pretty brings good results
It bothers me so much that it puts a strain on my heart
My heart gets dirty, or rather, there's no harvest for me
It was interfering with my life a little bit.

When you think it shouldn't stay this way
I met Ryokan-sama and the story of India
I changed my policy up until now
I want to break up with my clean self and my clean-loving self
I began to think about it.

It seems like I'm saying that's a bit off,
Like Ryokan-sama, the beauty of the mind rather than the beauty of the body
I want to be the kind of person I care for.

So I definitely wanted to ask for advice, so let me post it
I received it. Thank you so much for your support.

Then, that dirt becomes “that itself” rather than “dirt on something.”
When did it start getting dirty? You compare it to something and look at it with a heart separated by cleanness and purification, so you regard it as unclean.
Well then, it's an ideological way of life.
There are also places where you can clean toilets with bare hands at Zen temple ascetic dojos.
We are leaving the notions of purity and unpurity.
If you touch it, it is essentially not clean or dirty, unless it is toxic and threatens your health, the form of the law.
No matter who you are, the day will come when you will take care of your elderly parents.
It seems like they're wandering around in a place where they say it's dirty, and it's half full even for humans.
There are moments when the mind pollutes it for its own convenience.
The highlight is watching it and you don't say it's beautiful or dirty when it's 0.001 seconds, right?
Who (and what) makes it dirty.
Please carefully observe the inside of your mind until you notice the moment you are wrapping an “unclean image” within yourself as an option.

Don't hate the beauty you like

Hibikukagayaku-sama
This is Urakami from Nagomi-an.

I like it so pretty that it's a little excessive. I understand that feeling very well. I also have an aspect that I like pretty a bit too much, and sometimes I don't like it myself.

It would be nice if it was only within myself, but I feel “frustrated” when I see someone who can't be as beautiful as myself. I imagine that Hibikukagayaku's “slightly interfering with life” is probably something like this.

But rather than Hibikukagayaku's personal problem, the love for beauty is probably the direction of Japan as a whole. The words “sterilize/sterilize/deodorize/odorless” are overflowing in TV commercials and supermarkets. The whole of Japan is so beautiful that it seems that the immunity of small children is getting lower.

Now, no matter how beautiful your mind is in modern Japan, if you grow fleas and lice, you can avoid it from people. Even if I bathe in the river, I end up saying “what is that guy.” I think it's an “unthinkable story” not only for Hibikukagayaku, but for most Japanese people

As for advice, even if you try to think “this much dirt is fine” with your head, I think it's quite difficult. Actually, I think it's better to put yourself in an environment where you don't (can't) worry about the details and get used to it with your body.

Hard athletic club training camps, bike and tent trips, and trips to India and Southeast Asia (although they probably won't be easy) would also be good.

The story changes at the end, but please don't dislike yourself, who likes to be beautiful. Basically, it's not a bad thing.

Aim for “good moderation” rather than “laid-back”

Hibikukagayaku

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

How are you suffering from “germaniac disorder”...

When it comes to hygiene, there is nothing better than keeping everything clean and clean, but if it goes too far, it becomes a burden and stress on the mind, and it also interferes with life and causes adverse effects, I think we still have to rethink it a little bit.

However, if you were to force yourself to change your natural, beautiful personality, on the contrary, it is possible that it will become even more burdensome and stressful for your mind, so I know that you will not be forced to change your personality to the extreme so hastily.

In Buddhism, it is particularly desired to walk the “middle path” to avoid extremes. Nakamichi is not “come on,” and you are required to aim for “good moderation” and “good shiobai.” We recommend that you do it to the extent that there is no burden, stress, hindrance, or adverse effects.

Also, in order to have better happiness for each of us without being strangely negative by things such as “○○ disorder,” “○○ addiction,” etc., it is necessary to transform our respective minds for the better. I would be grateful if you could understand this a little bit.

The question “is it a woman or a man?”
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/470

“... If you say “disability,” some kind of disgust may arise, but originally, regardless of the presence or absence of a “disability” as defined unequivocally in modern society, we all have disorders such as ignorance (fundamental ignorance), worry, and misconduct (in other words, trouble or intellectual disability), in other words, “disability,” and I think we have various worries, doubts, and suffering as we live our lives every day.

This is a “disability,” and it is not uniformly determined that this is “not a disability,” and rather than that, I think it is important to resolve worries, doubts, and suffering by improving and growing in each case, and make adjustments so that we can spend a better and happier time.

I really think Buddhism can be a good prescription as an aid to that. I would definitely recommend that you take this opportunity to continue your studies. ・・”

Everyone together

Just as there are many people who cite a “sense of cleanliness” as a condition for being an excellent cook, there are things that are just right for cleaning depending on the occupation. So I don't think it's necessary to force the change.
However,
> There was no harvest for me, and it was interfering slightly with my life.
That's a problem, isn't it?

It is very admirable for teens to have the idea that the beauty of the mind is better than the beauty of the body. But neither of them is superior or inferior. Just as images, music, and sentences are represented by zero and one in the computer world, everything in the world, what we can see and what we can't see, is probably all the same from the Buddha's point of view.

Right now (early May) is the season for new tea. Whether the tea leaves are in the tea field, in the tea canister, or moving from the teapot to the garbage in the triangular corner, they are all tea leaves. First, why don't you take a look at that rather than being pretty or dirty, they're all together.
