Suicide Paradise

I feel it all the time. What is called distorted justice that people have.
Why don't we relentlessly die from an unspecified number of people even now? or that guy because it's not a big deal. They say don't study even though it's stupid, it's useless even if you do it, and when you go out and get hit on your tongue right by, and as a matter of fact, I don't remember being treated this far, so isn't the treatment different from the criminal who committed the murder? There are times when I felt that.
I may have done something disgusting, but I have also felt that it is necessary to relentlessly slander me for anything.
When I'm relaxing at home, reading, and studying, I'm scared every day thinking, “If the coronavirus completely subsides and the number of situations where we have to go outside increases, I don't have my own body.”
At that time, I saw an advertisement saying that one book called Taninsho would change lives, and when I borrowed it at the library and read it, apparently it was written that the crime I committed disappeared just by chanting Namu Amida Buddha just before death, and the Buddha invited me to the Pure Land of Paradise.
Right now, I don't feel like I want to commit suicide at all, but if I sing Namu Amida Buddha while hoping that the Buddha will save me from the crime of wasting my life before committing suicide, will my sins be forgiven and taken to the Pure Land of Paradise without suffering?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Faith is the most important thing when going to paradise

Hello.

We've had a few encounters so far.
There was a connection between the two sides, wasn't it?
That's a good thing.

To put it simply from the bottom of the bottom of the story, the original intention of shouting is that there is only one thing that can pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise: devotion. The meaning of calligraphy is that there are people who misinterpret and misunderstand the important intention of Shinran Shonin once explained (difference), which is also the meaning of calligraphy.

Faith is a heart that honestly accepts Amida's desire to be saved.
The bottom line is that this devotion can only be obtained by listening to, and continuing to listen to, Amitabha's heart in the Dharma.

Speaking from this point of view, it is not accurate to say “just by chanting Namu Amida Buddha just before death, the crime I committed will disappear and the Buddha will invite me to the Pure Land of Paradise.”

I know from previous questions that you are having trouble.
If you would like to hear more about Strange Disputes again, please continue to ask your questions again.

Finally, it is said that they saw an “advertisement where one book called Danisho changes lives.” The old woman sincerely advises, but there is a possibility that this is an organization that claims a certain Jodo Shinshu sect, is viewed as heretical by traditional denominations, and has problems. It's better to read while being careful.

Well, see you later.

Namu Amida Buddha on a regular basis

According to the sutras, those who wish for a past life of paradise by using Namu Amida Buddha and nembutsu will be welcomed by Amida Buddha to the Pure Land of Paradise at the end of their death.
So don't worry.
However, since we don't know when we will die, it is important to call (say) Nanmu Amida Buddha's nembutsu on a regular basis.
Namu Amidabu
Namu Amidabu
Namu Amidabu
Namu Amidabu
Please say it out and sing it over and over again at a constant rhythm.
If you do that, it will also be a rhythm exercise for the brain, so the degree of serotonin secretion will improve, and it may also have the effect of calming the mind.
Also, if you sing while sympathizing with the mercy of Amida Buddha, who swore that he would always save both good people and bad people, you may feel kind.

About Nembutsu, titles, mantras, Dharani, etc.

Seaweed

Not limited to nembutsu, titles, mantras, dharani, etc. include elements for worldly happiness and pleasure, such as seeing Buddha, making Buddha, nembutsu, annihilation, elimination of bad karma, purification of bad taste, pure land death, or worldly benefits such as life prolongation, healing, elimination of disasters, and worldly peace, etc., but all of these purposes are aimed at the refinement of Buddhism, the fulfillment of Buddhism, in other words, “enlightenment.”

It has a convenient function of showing how one should walk the path of Buddhism as one's current position toward “enlightenment.”

Therefore, in addition to Buddhist relationships, it is also something where the convenience required differs depending on each person's roots, temperament, etc.

Whether it is aimed at annihilation, elimination of bad deeds, purification of bad intentions, and the Pure Land of Regeneration, it will also be due to the convenience necessary in each case.

In any case, for enlightenment, which is the purpose of Buddhism, devotion to the Three Treasures (Buddhist monks), a “bodhi heart” (the will to aim for enlightenment to save everyone), and the power of wisdom (ability to understand the truth) and the power of good fortune (practice of merits) are essential.

It is also important to utilize the merits of nembutsu, titles, mantras, dharani, etc. and the effects of prayers and vows as a convenience (means) for this enlightenment.

In particular, when it comes to devotion decisions in Nembutsu, I think it would be nice if you could think about what should be done for the purpose of enlightenment.

It's fine.

What is the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school's teaching and evangelism research center
Go back to the primitive Buddhist scriptures and the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures and reread the Buddhist scriptures
We analyzed hundreds of sites related to suicide.
Consequently
It was discovered that Shakyamuni did not make a value judgment about suicide.

eg
There is a story about a disciple called Vaccari in the “Zaakonsutra”
He who thinks about death from the suffering of a serious illness
the other disciples took care of them devotedly
I was only asking how Shakyamuni had studied Buddhism.
In the end, Vaccari committed suicide
Shakyamuni did not blame his disciples for “how they died.”
but that doesn't mean they are condoning suicide
In scenes where Shakyamuni responds to a disciple who is thinking about death
They strongly hoped “I want them to stay alive.”

Everyone will attain Buddhism.
You won't go to hell.

Because the present is hell
Praise Namu Amida Buddha
Please give me strength..
