Isn't Buddhism contradictory?

Worry causes trouble and suffering.
Being able to control worries such as greed, anger, laziness, and pride can control worry, suffering, and stress.
Furthermore, if you can get rid of your worries with enlightenment, your worries, suffering, and stress will not occur.
However, the reality is that it's not that easy to understand.
Also, those of us who are worried about pride tend to be irritated and uncomfortable when our afflictions are pointed out by others.
Buddhism tries to destroy worries, but the afflicted side (we who are manipulated by worries) resists to protect them.
Monks also understand it in their heads, but they are still manipulated by worries.
The ideal is to quickly notice one's own afflictions and not forget to be compassionate to the afflictions of others...

A wide variety of us
In order to lead correctly (to the middle path)
The exact opposite has also been explained depending on the opponent.
In order to move to the center
Make the person on the right go to the left
Tell the person on the left to go to the right.
If you only look at sutras
“Go left” and “go right”
There will be a sutra that is the exact opposite.

As for that monk
Words that hurt people
I decided not to apologize to the person I hurt
Before Buddhism Unnun
I wonder what it's like as a person.

Hello.

You've been consulted by either of them in the past, and you've felt sorry.
I can see how discouraged you feel.

However, since I haven't heard the exchange itself, I will refrain from commenting on the incident. Also, I don't know what sect this question is from the standpoint of, but I will first comment from the standpoint of the Jodo Shinshu sect.

I think it's a good question.

It's a question of whether they think “that thought is correct at the point of belief” and “anguish.” In other words, “faith” is something you believe in from self-centered (anguish) thoughts, and what is the difference between a very general assertion that “you are right.”

The general term “faith” is loosely used, but in the Jodo Shinshu sect, it is called devotion. When it comes to what's different,

“Faith” → something that puts effort into what humans believe and grasps the result of pure effort. In this case, when viewed objectively, there is room for doubt that the effort is made in distress.

Devotion → something purely given by the Buddha. Something that is not the result of human effort. In this case, since it's Made in Buddha Heart, there's no room for worry (there is a very strict discipline about this devotion).

There is such a difference.

Faith teaches us the danger of righteousness.

No matter how far you go, your words and actions may be emanating from the self-centeredness of worry, and I encourage you to reflect on that. Faith is to accept that Amida and Buddha are the only ones who can really see right, wrong, good, and evil.

As I think about it, I think we should humbly accept that reservations are always attached to the correctness of our claims.

It's a question that comes from an exchange between you and that monk that a third party doesn't understand, so I can't dive into it any further, but I have the above perception.

Also, if you like, I kept asking questions, and I think my relationship with the Buddha deepened in a good direction. Bye, see you later.

Thank you very much for your reply.
That thought is condensed into the phrase “it was really painful.”
On the other hand, it was nice to be “relieved to hear so many opinions.”

It seems that you were able to feel the “difference between faith and faith” right away.
There is also an aspect called “Buddhism is like philosophy.”
Also, if you have a relationship.

It's full of contradictions. Humans are ^_^

I'm sorry for making you sad.

I'm worried, that.

Enlightened people are called Buddhas.

Monks are troubled, but they aim for the Buddha or lean on the Buddha.

Don't look at him as a saint just because he's a monk.

I hope you think of it as an expert on trouble.

Correctness is definitely not meant to cut people.

It's an effort goal.

The Buddha said it too.

If you pretend it's right, it won't be right when you hold it up.

It's something everyone wants to keep in mind.

Good evening. My name is Kameyama Junshi.

No matter what kind of interaction there was between you and the monk, if what you answered made you feel bad, that monk should apologize. I think this kind of thing is similar to bullying. Even if the respondent never intended to make the consultant feel bad, if the consultant actually feels bad, the respondent should acknowledge their own lack of strength and apologize to the other party. (I myself think there are times when I hurt my partner with a careless remark, so I want to be careful.)

Now, faith is an extremely personal matter. This is because faith is the foundation of a person's values for living. The fact that there are so many religions in the world probably shows that the values for living differ from person to person. Therefore, faith is something that should never be forced upon others, and it is not often something that should be denied a belief that is different from one's own. So, when it comes to faith, I don't think we should argue with values that are completely different from our own. (I think followers of other religions come to my temple for missionary purposes, but there are times when they come to my temple. At that time, I myself politely declined.)
