I want to get rid of mental suffering in Buddhism

Hello.
They say, “Please tell me as simply as possible,” so I'll be as brief as possible.

There is a saying, “Look at the Four Noble Truths and first understand that this world is full of suffering.”
You described above only the cause and mechanism of suffering for the two “suffering” and “gathering” of the “four tribulations.” How concretely did you deal with “the path” and “destruction,” that is, the fact that there is enlightenment, and that there is a path to that enlightenment (did you concentrate on any denomination)? If you read only your understanding honestly, it's almost no different from pessimism.

“The Four Sisters” is a bird's-eye view map from the cause of suffering to liberation. However, a map is a map and information. You are the only one who walks through the area specifically described on the map. That's why I wrote it earlier. I wonder how specific you faced it.

There are rough maps like a world map, and there are also detailed maps of one city. If the “four rules” are the former, then the teachings of each denomination are the latter.

Maps and guide maps called “What the heck does Buddhism save us?” have already been revealed since BC. As the “Four Pillars.” All that's left is for you to walk around with a detailed map of which denomination.

If possible, try finding someone to study with and dedicate a few years to one denomination. This is because if you mix it with other denominations and understand it vaguely, you won't understand the division more and more.

That's it.

I understand how difficult things have been up until now.
You can do it at your own pace, so I hope you have a Buddhist connection in the future.
Please take care of yourself.

If you put it into words, your expression might not be wrong either.
However, in life, if you get caught up in delusional distractions and feel bad less, and if you can live peacefully, maybe you don't need to get caught up in superficial words.

Your understanding is not a Buddhist [wisdom] that gave up on the truth; it is simply [nihilism].

A few blind people who have never seen an elephant argue about “elephants are like this” and “no, elephants aren't like that,” they each argue with selfish speculations based on only the part they touched. It's a really funny story. Continuing to break through this one-and-a-half-broken knowledge with surprise is exactly what it is called a Buddhist quest.

Well, don't rush to that conclusion.
from now on. from now on.

＜Additional Notes＞
“For example, it indicates the distance until one is saved, etc.”
No matter what, it's a troublesome way of saying it, but physical issues such as time and space blow away so comfortably that it makes me laugh. Have you heard of the sky?

“Inwardly stunned”
Isn't it okay to be taken aback? No one is going to take responsibility for your life, no one is going to take responsibility for your life, right?

“Walk, build up, then fail to ruin again”
You're right.
After correcting the trajectory of an irreversible life, it progresses, and progresses while making fine adjustments. The bitterness I licked at that time and the muddy water I sipped at this time were all beautiful when I looked back. I think this is the real thrill of being raised by Buddhism. Your growth process is your greatest asset over anyone else's.

Buddhism aims to save oneself (extinction of affliction, extinction of intellectual disability, release from reincarnation) to attaining enlightenment (leading to nirvana) by relying on Buddhism and putting Buddhist teachings into practice by oneself, and moving towards saving all sentient beings.

“Everything in this world is just bad. So don't be foolish and hope for anything, don't expect anything; it's always ruthless where nothing can come true; don't dream, give up such foolish desires, kill yourself completely, don't feel anything, ignore pain even if you're hurt, and live like a dead person”

Everything in this world is made up of causality (cause and condition), and depending on cause and effect, there are fun things, good things, bad things, and bad things. However, what is made up of cause and effect is an “sky” with no substance, and no matter how much one wants to keep that thing or thing, there is no entity anywhere that can be kept. It is as if you peel it off like a Basho leaf (leaf without a stem) and you can't find the core.

In other words, it feels like they have an illusion as if they have a mirage, and the cause is due to ignorance (fundamental ignorance), a tough obsession with truth (being trapped that it is true that there is an substance in it).

Of course, the emptiness of nothing is not absolute. If you think that way, you will become pessimistic.

Instead, the state of things and things is possible depending on cause and effect, which means that even though they exist, they do not exist because they have an entity.

Understanding this, and depending on the causal relationship, it means working on that causal relationship as something that naturally also has enlightenment and nirvana. It was Shakyamuni who showed the cause and effect for achieving enlightenment and nirvana, and it is Buddhism.

Understand that it's not a simple thing of wishing, don't expect, don't have desires, don't be attached, and it's OK to wish, have dreams, expectations, have desires, emotions, and feelings, and can't be helped even if you become attached, but all of them are “empty” with no substance at all, and are made up of causation, that is, good fortune, and work on good causality by making use of your life as a rare and thankful person That's why it's going to be something like that.

Let's work hard together.
