The attitude of wanting to do anything

Thank you for your question, Else.
I'm a little wondering what kind of sermon you've been listening to,
What bothers me is that the Buddha doesn't appear in what you've written.

It's true that the environment and people around you support you,
“Other powers” are not “other powers,” but “Buddha's power.”

That's what I did or didn't do
Then, I don't think it's a big problem.

Amida has vowed to save sentient beings.
That pledge is addressed to everyone.

It's not such a small thing that humans did or didn't do something.

A person named Mitsuyuki Kiyosawa was told to “settle down with fate and do my best in personnel affairs.”

What I can do is human resources.
You should do the best you can.

Other powers are of the Buddha who supports you by pledging to “save you”
It's your power.

The meaning of the other power petition is different, isn't it?

The original meaning is to be taken to the Pure Land of Paradise by Amida's power.
It doesn't mean anything else.

Other powers are Amida's powers.
The original wish is Amida's pledge to save all people.

The general public uses it incorrectly, so I think you are also misunderstanding it.

It's not a mistake.
The cause (my effort) was rewarded,
That's because it led to results (my own achievements).

Well then,
Did you succeed only through your own efforts?
If I fail, am I lacking in effort?

Between “cause” and “effect,”
There must have been various tangible and intangible effects called “edges.”
Support from others, support from family, luck/bad luck,...
Call them “thank you,”
We were grateful for that invisible thing.

What does it mean to count on them
It's a modern way to use the “Other Power Book.”
This is not how it was originally used as a Buddhist term.

What is the other power petition (that the Buddha is praying for)
It's not that person's success.
Whether it succeeds or fails,
It's something I'm always supporting.
Do your best to do what you can
The attitude is that no matter how the results turn out, can be firmly accepted
Other powers are born within oneself due to natural desires.

Hey, good evening, it's Shogen

When it comes to the “other power petition,” you have doubts and fuzzy things that don't fall into your own mind when it comes to “other power petitions,” you think it's meaningless

If you have “your own actions,” isn't it “other power” but “self-help”! Hey hey, well, I think there are probably questions like that
This area also changes depending on sectarian interpretations, etc., but here's what I want to say

Once upon a time there was Brave Shogen
Shogen from Lv1 added thieves, dancers, and playmates to the party and made it to the devil's castle
The battle begins, members are killed with 1 blow, instant kill

Shogen “You Can't Win Like This, Impossible, Seriously Impossible”

The player who controls the game there cheats and cheats and cheats without reducing the health of their allies, and as a result, they were able to beat the Demon King, and although they didn't make much effort, they won with mysterious power in “Other Strength Original Request”, game cleared

I'll abbreviate the next situation

Shogen works so hard Lv 100, won't go up any higher
All my friends are Lv 100, apparently only occupations that seem strong, and fight against the demon king
You can't win even if you fight bravely, you can't win even though your weapons and armor are so strong

Shogen “This Is Impossible, Even Though I Took So Hard”

<中略>Players also cheat and “wish for other powers”

In the end, both are helped by players (Amida's Buddha power), both of them are making an effort and those not
Put it all together and it's a “other power petition”

If you compare it to a game in an easy-to-understand manner, it's extra difficult to understand, so I'll say it's quick

“Being a power source means not only doing anything and leaving it up to you,” but it also includes things like “I did what I could do, but that didn't work, so let's leave it up to you.”
Therefore, it does not mean that my actions have been denied or have not been denied, and it is “because of that, I was saved to my current state by other powers due to Buddha power.”

Then, the own efforts cultivated at that time are accumulated by oneself, and even if they are not reflected as visible results on the spot, they are definitely in the person in question
Results aren't just visible results; there are also results within oneself that you can't see

The reason I didn't dare to bring the monk to the party is because I'm basically the type of play where I keep hitting while ignoring healing, so it's pretty painful
