About the world after death

It's a simple question, but do heaven and hell really exist?

I've confirmed that I'm going to hell many times in the past. (Even if it doesn't exist, I don't intend to do what I shouldn't do)

I want to ease the regrets of my past work even a little bit. I definitely wanted to borrow your wisdom, so I consulted with you. Thank you for your support.

A story of hell that contrasts with paradise

Hello.

I don't know hell as opposed to heaven.
In Buddhism, heaven is a state of confusion similar to hell.
However, if it's a story about hell that contrasts with paradise, I've heard it before.

It is only thanks to Namu Amida Buddha that we can go to paradise. “Regrets over past work” is probably a necessary step in your life, but deepening it doesn't mean that a trip to paradise will come true. Also, similarly, going to hell cannot be avoided.

I recommend listening to the Dharma lecture.

When I listen to the Dharma, I am made aware of the depth of my own work, and I also understand the compassionate heart of Amida, who said that she went to paradise without abandoning me.

Those who are kept alive by Amida's mercy can be reassured that not only will there be paradise, but that they will always go to paradise.

In other words, as a Buddhist, if you touch the heart of Amida Nyorai, the Lord of Paradise, you will naturally understand the answers to your questions.

Heaven and hell are here.

A world called heaven and hell. Do you think Barley Cha-san is a world you go to after death?
It's definitely not a world I go to after death, but I think I've experienced heaven and hell even in the world I'm living in now. If there were any in the afterlife (you won't know until you go there), it would probably be an extension of what it is now.

Heaven is probably a situation where everyone is happy, both myself and the people around me. An easy-to-understand example would be a situation where people are healthy, have a stable economy, are calm, and trust each other is a situation called heaven, pure land, and paradise.
On the other hand, in hell, everything negative, such as anger, greed, fighting, jealousy, anxiety, fear, etc., represents and has experienced all aspects of hell.

Therefore, I'm not going after I die; I've always experienced and done it even now. That's why it's important to live seriously, honestly, and honestly.
Moreover, living without being swept away by the surroundings because of this kind of world may lead to what Mugicha-san says, “I want to ease the regrets of my past work even a little bit.”

It hasn't been proven yet,

I believe I exist.
Any living thing
Amida Nyorai says she will save me
If you pass away in the Pure Land and attain Buddhism
I believe it.

What is the rationale
That's because I want that to happen.

Maybe there is hell
I might fall there too
If that happens, it's just a matter of suffering at that time
Even before I die
You don't have to suffer from hell after death.

I'll post a line from the comic “Funeral Freelen.”
“Even if heaven doesn't exist,
I think it's something that should be there.
That's because it's more convenient.
Where do people who have lived desperately go
There's no way it's okay to be nothing.
Then in heaven
It's better to think that it's full of luxury
Isn't that good? “Monk Hiter”

The world after death is shaped by many different destinations and how one reincarnates.

Pure Land, Heaven, Shura, Man, Beast, Gaki, Hell...

In Buddhism, the three thousand thousand worlds are one world (in terms of image, it's like 3,000 pieces of the universe are gathered together. Maybe it's even bigger), and Shaba Sekai is one of them.

In short, not only is there a universe with this one galaxy system, there are countless universes, and of course there are also other dimensions (it has been proven that there are up to 11 dimensions), and furthermore, it can be said that there are inexhaustible destinations such as the Three Thousand Great Worlds, for example, the Pure Land of Paradise, and countless other pure lands.

Of course, even if you go to paradise, you may be able to listen to Amida Nyorai's sermons and be reincarnated as a person who can work hard at ascetic practices, which is also important. (Are you blessed with enough time to learn and practice Buddhism? (For example, there are few good roots and merits, and even if they pass away in paradise, it is possible that they will be born in a state where they will not be able to listen to their teachings.)

The problem is that no matter where you go in your next life, it depends on the state of your mind (work) that captures it, and if your own mind that captures the events of that world is dirty, that world will shine in the dirty world, and you will suffer as a result. Even if they pass away in paradise.

Conversely, even in hell, if your mind is pure, that world will shine in a clean world, and you won't suffer because of it.

For example, it's a slightly rough metaphor, but even in hell, my mind is pure, and the more I do to help others, the more I can be helped by that cause and effect, and even if that is hell, I can become a world that shines in paradise for me.

In other words, it depends on your own mental problems in recognizing the world you have gone to.

When you learn about the complex structure in which the practice (the habit of capturing that thing as if fragrance is ingrained) practiced by the mind (the habit of capturing that thing as if a scent is ingrained) in ideology, captures that thing, you will be able to clearly understand this.

Even now, if we practice the Buddha's teachings that purify our minds, it will of course be possible to make this world shine in paradise.

I would be grateful if you could learn and practice Buddhism.
