rather than saying yes

It's peaceful.
Maybe it's because they try not to have “me” as much as possible.
It's painful when “I am” is strong.
Please reduce the concentration of “me” and visit a temple.
Something must change.

What is happiness? It's up to you!

Happiness is not something you can compare or grasp; happiness is something you feel.
Everyone has different values.
There are happy times and unhappy times in this world, and it is the human heart that is constantly flowing.
Happiness is something you check every time and feel it with your heart.
“A kind heart grows a kind seed, and if you keep your mind quiet, the seed of happiness will eventually blossom.”

All sentient beings are happy, and we should make it our own happiness.

Yummy

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

I know unceremoniously that my true happiness will not exist until all sentient beings lose their hesitation and suffering.

All sentient beings are happy, and we should make it our own happiness.

As long as this void exists
As long as sentiments exist
I will continue to exist
May the suffering of compassion be destroyed

“Three Treasures: Return to Prayer and the Birth of the Bodhi Heart”

To Buddha, Buddhism, and Sangha
I will return until I reach enlightenment
Depending on the materials I have piled up, such as the administration of the law
May you become a Buddha in order to benefit your feelings

By wishing to save all sentient beings
To Buddha, Buddhism, and Sangha
Until the heart of enlightenment
I will always be a devotee

Devote yourself with wisdom and mercy
For the benefit of all sentient beings
I am in front of the Buddha
For complete enlightenment, Bodhicitta will be raised

As long as this void exists
As long as sentiments exist
I will continue to exist
May the suffering of compassion be destroyed

that's right...

 Yes, that's right.
There are also a lot of painful things. I also have a lot of trouble.
However, we have devised various things so that we can be happy.

I hope Yummy is happy too.
