The meaning of life is to die properly

I also read my profile.
You've been alive until now, and you haven't thought “I want to live”...

unbearable pain. When I think about how much that is. I wonder if that's enough, and I won't be able to find meaning in living.
You weren't able to meet people around you who made you think that way or anything that would help you.

It's just painful, isn't it? hopelessness.
They say they're living to commit suicide.
It takes strength to die, doesn't it?

I wonder what people live for.
I wonder if they want to live and have a purpose.
It's what you're aiming for.

Everyone's for something different.
Don't even know it,
I don't want to impose one-sided feelings on me that I want them to live,

I think it's okay to have a reason to live in order to find a purpose.
There are people and places I haven't met yet.

Even if the current situation and suffering don't go away,
If things change a little, I'd like to talk to you.

Hasunoha is filled with many questions and thoughts.
You might come into contact with someone's words, something.
I want you to look for it.

I read it.
I read the thoughts in your heart right now.
And I felt that you are living desperately and solemnly now while harboring such thoughts.

I felt that you have suffered until now, and that you have borne a lot of suffering, and that various thoughts are spilling out in your heart.

I don't think I have the right to express any opinions on the lives and deaths of others, and I am keenly aware that it could be an irresponsible imposition on “living.” I also don't think I'm in a position to say anything about people's situations or ways of life up until now.
I think you're right.

While reading your thoughts, you can look at “living” and “dying” from your way of life, and you can learn about your existence by listening to your existence.

In the midst of immeasurable encounters and mysterious relationships, I and you are here, and our existence is far more precious and important to each of us than we know.

I think they all have their own ideas, but I think “living probably means knowing their preciousness and importance, and also confirming existence.”

Each person is different in what they find in suffering, pleasure, sorrow, and joy, what they feel, and what they accept.

There is no meaning, purpose, answer, or conclusion of “living” right now, but I think there are times when you suddenly slowly feel it in the midst of accidental encounters, events, and people as you live.

You are clearly speaking your thoughts here, and I think both you and I can feel and find opportunities and meanings to think about “living” while asking questions.

This is a great relationship and opportunity, so please speak clearly about your thoughts.
We look forward to welcoming you.

Thank you, Natto lover, for posting My Complicated Heart.

I don't know what the world says about the meaning of life, but I'll write what I feel.
So, please accept in advance that you may be different from all the monks.

Surprisingly, the meaning of living is that there is no meaning in living right now, and being alive itself has meaning.

It's often taken as simple, but it's not simple.
First of all, it seems that many people don't understand who you are alive right now.

When I ask what kind of person I am, I usually get an ambiguous answer.

But it's definitely not that sloppy.
There is a moment when I realize that my existence is truly irreplaceable, not words or logic, and that anything in the world that is considered valuable is so precious that it is completely incomparable.
This was brought to me by Buddhist practice, but I feel that some people can feel it every moment as a trigger, even if it's not Buddhist practice.

That moment may come for you too.

If that moment comes and you understand what your existence is like, you won't be concerned at all about your environment, birth conditions, or upbringing, and I think you'll be able to feel happy unconditionally as it is.

However, many people don't try to know themselves properly, and they put a lid on themselves as if their environment and circumstances are components of themselves, and they lose the opportunity to know their true existence.

I feel that it is completely unnecessary to take a life without knowing the existence of my true self.

If you feel it's a no-brainer, feel free to skip it.

However, I hope you can take a look deep in the back, which you haven't usually seen.
You may not know what to do at first, but if there is a zazen or meditation session at a nearby temple, it might be a good idea to attend one.

I am convinced that the meaning of life is to know the existence of this wonderful, truly indescribable self.

I like natto too.

In Buddhism, determining life and death is extremely important.

Every thing or thing always has a causal relationship (cause and condition).

Things and things without a causal relationship are impossible.

In other words, there is always a causal relationship between living and dying.

Of course, there is of course a cause and effect for our hesitation and suffering in life and death.

It was the Buddha who clarified the causes of such hesitation and suffering, and clarified the cause and effect to eliminate hesitation and suffering.

Therefore, if you work on Buddhism, you will be able to lose your hesitation and suffering.

Also, there will be many places where it is possible to know the cause and effect of life and death.

It can be difficult and difficult to learn about the Buddhist work (karma) with one of them.

However, of course, the hesitation and suffering caused by knowing it, the Buddha has been able to see through it, and there are teachings for dealing with it.

In any case, unless you do something about ignorance (fundamental ignorance) and karma, no matter what kind of death, regardless of suicide, you cannot escape the reality of losing your way and suffering in reincarnation.

Now that I have come across the law to escape that reincarnation, I would be grateful if you could work on Buddhism.
