Is the feeling of enjoying good deeds bad?

As a club activity, I volunteer to pick up trash, and I was able to get along with my club mates and find fun when picking up trash.
However, I was told something like this from within my peers

Picking up trash and volunteering is charity
The purpose is to save people and the environment in need
Also, what makes me think it's fun
I look at troubled people in trouble for myself to enjoy
It was pointed out. In his story
Paramedics and firefighters don't think they have fun helping people in the field, and that's the same thing.
After being told

What do you think of good deeds as fun
is that malicious?

If you ask me a question this time

The mind is something that is not constant

Hello.

At the root of our actions is the heart.
The order is that the mind moves, then the body moves.

However, Buddhism can be broadly divided into two paths.
One is the idea that you must clear your mind and be clean in your actions at the same time.
The other is the idea of valuing gifts from the Buddha (Namu Amitabha Buddha) wherever possible, regardless of the purity of the mind.

I'm the latter.

My heart changes rapidly, like a monkey jumping from branch to branch, like a cat's eye. Sometimes it seems like a “lifeguard or firefighter,” and there are times when you think it's “fun.” The mind is something that is not constant.

Listen to advice as advice, and absorb what you can absorb.
However, I don't think it's necessary to change direction by forcibly setting a frame to correct things that don't suit the actual state of mind.

In the first place, “volunteering to pick up trash” itself may also be “fun,” but don't you express “fun” by “getting along with your circle mates” and including those connections and relationships?

It focuses only on “picking up trash,” and asks only how that person feels.
Isn't this led to too narrow a point of discussion?

There is a sense of fulfillment in contributing to society.
That activity and gathering are fun, too.
I think that's enough.

Please continue to enjoy volunteering to the extent of your own reasonable heart.

Seeing good deeds as fun is not malicious.

Bcat's actions are so amazing.

> Picking up trash and volunteering are charitable works, and the purpose is to save people in need and the environment.
So wouldn't it be better to have fun? On the other hand, if you do no good, there will be no love there, and it will be appropriate. What's more, I don't think it's something you're forced to do.

I'm talking about this.
According to the Buddhist worldview, the Ten Realms (Hell, Ghost, Beast, Shura, Man, Heaven, Shura, Shōmon, Enkaku, Bodhisattva, Buddha) represents our world in ten, and hell represents the worst situation. Why don't you use that kind of expression in everyday life when it's difficult? Also, the state of mind becomes “anger.”
Also, a hungry demon is, for example, a situation where you can't eat what you want to eat, and the heart is “devouring” (devouring: a heart that wants that too, a heart that wants this too). Animal life is like a disorder between men and women so that there are no boundaries, and the mind is expressed as “foolish.”
Shura fights. Each human being represents a “calm mind” and a world of action and mind.

Now, if you apply it to this story, for example, we clean public toilets so that they can be used cleanly and comfortably. That action (cleaning) is an act of a Bodhisattva for people. Incidentally, a bodhisattva means saving others while improving oneself.
Therefore, cleaning a toilet is a wonderful thing, but if you put your heart (thought) together and think so that people can use it comfortably, your actions are a Bodhisattva, and your heart is also a Bodhisattva.
However, the desire for someone to see the place being cleaned in this way, and the desire to be praised by people is already in the Fatal Realm and the Animal Realm.

It is ideal if the mind and action are the same, but if not, then bad results may also occur from those actions. This is because thoughts (thoughts) become reality in this world.

What kind of feelings (thoughts) you act with is important, and if it's a charity, I think the way you have a heart is even more important. Therefore, I think the results will be more effective by having fun doing it.

I think paramedics, firefighters, doctors, and nurses are also acting with top priority on saving lives at the scene, and it's no wonder. However, I think the desire to do that job was thought to be purely for people. And when people are helped, when they are saved, they honestly rejoice, and I think that makes them look forward to it.

Seeing good deeds as fun is not malicious.

Even so, only good deeds done without regard to hardships are good deeds.

It doesn't have to be hard or easy to help others. Just be someone who can do it. quickly. without hesitation. Be smart. The monks I respect are full body relief activists. I want to be like that, and I'm working hard, but the more I do it, the effects of help and the effects of good bacteria spread all over the world, so if you freeze for 10 minutes due to strange nonsense, you should accumulate good deeds even for 1 second of that, and you should accumulate good deeds.
There are times when people feel joy in helping others and being useful. That's different from pleasure. Don't confuse them. The point that person was trying to say probably wasn't conveyed well, but there's no comparison for good deeds, and people you can help only need you to help ✨
There's nothing good or bad about helping, saving, and supporting someone who is in trouble right in front of you. However, only a line of help, purification, and purification is carried out there. You don't need to be left behind. The more good deeds, purification, and good bacteria activities there are, the better the world will be, and people's MAD, dark, and negative consciousness will be purified. It's such a good thing for the world, so please do your best.
However, it doesn't get clerical, and it's indifferent.
On the other hand, take a look at people who are acting recklessly misbehaving. It must be said that it is human KUZ 0. I don't need it. Acts that make such people sad and suffer.
Well then, what are the people who don't do anything that says, “That's an act of selling a name, that's good, isn't it?” On the other hand, it's probably just holding back good deeds. I don't need it. That kind of twitch. lol
Japanese people are hesitant to do good things, but then when exactly will those people do good deeds and purify them? I haven't done it for the rest of my life. There are probably only people who just talk about it. Actually, it's a level where they're also at a loss. You don't have to deal with them. Rather, it's fine to sell a name, so there's no problem with the momentum of doing good things.
There is a song called Anpanman is Kimisa~ ♪, but the small fish characters whose names are not known in Anpanman (don't say small fish characters) are forever left to Anpanman. Help activities won't start forever. That's why they're small fish characters. (Omega) I'm not saying small fish characters. lol
I was asked this question to a monk who was enlightened in Zen Buddhism.
My grandmother is picking up trash and stuff at Q station, but when I try to do it, I'm worried about people's eyes.
A No matter what you think, if you pick up one piece of trash, the good act of cleaning up the trash is properly carried out. It's better to do it than not to do it.
Q ('💋 `)... ✨⤴

It's not evil.

People who are in trouble are no longer in trouble
Because they'll be happy
It's happy and fun, isn't it?

The trash is gone and the environment is getting better
Because there are people who are happy about it
It's happy and fun, isn't it?

It's
Look at people in trouble
Because it's not like I'm having fun
Look at the trash being messed up
It's not like I'm happy
It's totally different.

Enjoying good deeds isn't evil.
It's fine.

In Abidharma in early Buddhism

It is said that there are two types of minds when doing good deeds. It's a neutral heart that doesn't enjoy or suffer, or a heart that enjoys.
Early Buddhism sees that when you do good deeds, your heart is either feeling that doing good is natural, or that you are happy to say, “Oh, I'm happy to do such a good thing.” In other words, even though they're supposed to be doing good, they say, “It's hot. If a bad feeling arises, such as “it's hard,” “I won't be able to have time for myself if I'm invited this often,” or “I don't want to do it in this group,” that feeling becomes a bit negative in the midst of all the good deeds.
Actually, when you do misconduct, it must be really disgusting at first. You'll get used to it over time, and you'll just misunderstand that it's fun.
When you do good deeds, you'll feel embarrassed at first because you're not used to it. But you should be enjoying it. Over time, you'll get used to it, and you'll be able to do good deeds with a neutral, natural mind. But in the back of your heart, you must be happy.
Enjoying good deeds is a matter of course. Rather, if you're happy, I think it's fine to think that it's a true act of good without any impure elements.
