Do you really believe it?

Zhuge Liang, transparent

Nice to meet you.
My name is Shakuri Kaoru from the Otani school of Shinshu.

Now, I have a question.
What is Zhuge Liang's transparent “Buddha”?

The Buddha said, “What happens when you pass away?” There is a story about how he remained silent with “...” in response to the question. (“No note (peel)”
Buddhism doesn't answer what happens when you die.

So what does it mean in the Jodo religion that people are born in the Pure Land of Paradise after a long lifespan is reached?
In the “Pure Land Theory” by Bosatsu Sechika (Tenchika), the Pure Land of Paradise is expressed with the character “law.” (It's called “Iriichi Dharma (Nyuppoku)”). (Roughly speaking, law = empty)
According to the original “Buddha theory, Muryojukyo,” “Everyone who passes away in the land of the Buddha... receives a body of natural emptiness, an impermanent body.” There is such a thing. (Roughly speaking, emptiness = emptiness)
Also, in the famous “Heart Sutra,” it is true that “color is the sky is the sky is the color (everything is empty, everything that is empty is everything).”

It can also be interpreted that everything, whether alive or dead, has a relationship as “sky.”

If the “thing” that “captured the sky” correctly is a “Buddha,” I think it can become a “Buddha” after death (even if it doesn't die).
If you really understand that “sky,” I really believe if it means you can live in peace of mind (close to nirvana).

I'm sorry for the rough response.

“Buddhism” is called “the teaching of becoming a Buddha.”
So why do we want to be a “Buddha”?
What is “Buddha”?
What is “sky,” which is said to be the essence of Buddhism?

If you don't make that clear, I don't think “Buddhism” will become interesting.
“Buddhism” is interesting.
This is because it is an idea that has attracted people since at least the 4th century BC until now.

Please try to learn it.

Mr. Zhuge Liang

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

First of all, in conclusion, it doesn't mean “when you die (automatically) you become a Buddha” at all.

Buddhism explains the idea of causal retribution and reincarnation. I hope you can refer to the humble answers to the questions below.

In Buddhism, in order to become a person who can be called a Buddha, it is necessary to eliminate ignorance (fundamental ignorance) and worry, prevent further misconduct, and at the same time get rid of bad practices that have been carried over from past generations.

Simply put, a disorder that causes misconduct due to distress is called an “affliction disorder,” and it is hoped that by first exterminating this affliction disorder, no further misconduct will be done. This alone is of course not enough, and in order to become a wise person, sane person, Buddha, or Nyorai, who can be called a Buddha, it is necessary to exterminate “intellectual disability,” which is an obstacle to knowing everything that interferes with enlightenment, and in order to do so, it is also necessary to exterminate bad practices. Therefore, it is natural not to do bad karma any more, and it is required that the habit of bad karma be firmly removed by accumulating good karma (good deeds such as acts of mercy, altruism, etc.) next.

The purpose of Buddhism is to break free from the cycle of hesitation and suffering, gain enlightenment, and become a wise person, a sane person, a Buddha, and a Buddha. To that end, there is a Buddhist practice, and it is necessary to receive formal admonition, and guidance as an entrance to it. It is possible to receive the precepts even during life, but most people will receive it from their mentor at the wake and funeral after death.

However, just because you have received or received the precepts during your lifetime or after death does not mean that you can immediately become a wise person, a sane person, a Buddha, or a Buddha or Buddha. It's just that receiving the precepts and attaining the precepts is just the entrance to ascetic practice, and if you don't steadily advance in the path of Buddhism from here on, you won't be able to become a wise person, right person, Buddha, or Nyorai at all.

Of course, whether during life or after death, there are many questions about whether the degree of admonition and attainment is appropriate and appropriate by an official mentor based on formal Buddhism, but...

Anyway, by sincerely facing Buddhism, learning Buddhism, and practicing Buddhism, I would like to prepare myself so that I can do good deeds without doing bad deeds, and walk in Buddhism even a little bit.

Oh, the questioner has been captured.

First, it's “Buddha when you die,” but you have to define the word “Buddha.”
Buddha comes from “Buddha,” which applies the ancient Indian word “Buddha (Buddha)” to the Chinese character (similar to writing America as “amelica” and abbreviating it as “United States”).

So, Buddha means “a person who has awakened to the truth,” and when I break it down in my own way, he is “a person who can completely determine the reason for things and always put them into practice.”
So, when you die, you won't become a Buddha. If you die, you will become a deceased person, or a corpse or bone.

The idea of dying and becoming a Buddha is probably strongly influenced by me and the Jodo Shinshu sect, to which Shaku Rikun belongs.

As Buddhist thought developed in various ways from the time of the Buddha, the idea of paradise and hell was born. Among them, the idea that “if you can't become a Buddha, you will fall to hell” and “if you take your life by fishing (hunting) to live, you will fall to hell” was also born.
But if you think about it, most people would go to hell. But nobody wants to go to hell.
What was born in this way is widespread salvation by a Buddha called Amida. It was a plain teaching that “even people who go to hell praise nembutsu, they can become a Buddha after death and go to paradise,” and it was widely accepted by people who were unable to learn or practice.

Now, let's finally talk about capture. The word “religion” must be defined in the same way as the definition of “Buddha.”

The “religion” mentioned by the questioner is to blindly worship a god that doesn't exist (whose existence cannot be proven) and “there is some kind of benefit.”
Or, I think it's a “pseudo-religion” called a so-called cult, which demands donations every time something happens, sells pots, and brainwashes them.

For me, if you call something like the above a religion, then I don't think Buddhism is a religion.

Hello, Zhuge Liang, transparent.

Do monks seriously believe they will become Buddha when they die? I have a question...
Honestly, I don't know. I'll think about it after I die.

For example, just because a master you respect says, “If you die, you'll become a Buddha,” doesn't mean, “Well, why don't you try dying?” Certainly, I also have a feeling that I will miss what I left behind.
However, the main reason is “is it that easy to believe?”
Can Zhuge Liang and transparent accept what someone he respects says without remorse? Can you put it into practice with words?
I can't do it.
It is important to learn and practice, but since there is no confirmation, we will not practice death. It's even banned.

Other respondents mentioned the definition, but what I think of as “Buddha” is “everything you try to achieve for yourself” by learning and putting teaching into practice.
Reading the Quran aloud, praying, or praying at church... for Allah is different from “realizing it on your own.” Other than “trying to make it happen for myself” by learning and putting the teachings into practice, it's probably impossible to say that they believe in Buddhism.
If you don't learn, you won't be able to do it properly, and if you don't do, it's ear science.

As a gobō, do you have a sense of position that you are in the category of religion? Or is it just religion after all? I have a question...
So-called Mahayana Buddhism does not separate the sacred from the secular. It means it's not just for boys who have been snatched.
It's strange to be able to say “Japanese temples were nothing but scenery.” There is no landscape other than religion, and there is no religion other than landscape. Every human activity is a landscape and a religion.
I am conscious of that. That's all.

What the Buddha talked about in India at the time was a story about his own experience of becoming a Buddha, and it must have been a methodology.
Reading sutras you don't understand the translation is definitely not a Buddhist Bukkyo & religious teaching,
In words from the time of life (nama), they explained how to become a Buddha = enlightened person while living.
So what should we do to “become a Buddha,” which is the highest human nature with a rich heart full of mercy and wisdom while living?
There are only differences in ascetic practices depending on the denomination, and the destination is the same.
Speaking in Zen style,
It is necessary to try once and for all to stop being involved with one's own thoughts.
Even 30 minutes without crossing your legs is fine, so please practice the following method by calling it self-observation.

・Leave the thoughts that come up alone so as not to hit the mole who hit the mole
・Unintentionally leave the thoughts that come up, such as “this is a distraction” or “let's get rid of it”
・Spend time seeing, hearing, and feeling, without adding thoughts or comments to it

Most people get carried away with that thought when they try it.
Still, if you do it properly,
Eventually, the turbidity of consciousness, which had been my own self until a while ago, will clear up, quiet and clear, and the concentration of self-consciousness has completely diminished = we should return to the original tranquility of selfless and selfless humans.
At that time, for the first time, they began to know the state and state of mind away from all afflictions and anguish, saying “oh, this is it.”
It's called Buddha. It's the original state of mind without human decoration or mess. = originally attaining Buddha/falling out of mind and body
Up to this point, it's an explanation, and even if you understand this, it doesn't mean you've truly understood what I said “if you don't get to that state.”
When you stop thinking and thinking, you're just a person.
There is no boundary between yourself and your partner, and there is no Buddha, no person, or the smell of Buddhism.
At that time, you should be able to understand that I didn't need the words religion or Buddhism at all. Once you have that heart, it is ascetic practice to maintain it later.
You don't have to be a Buddhist to do it, right?
You don't even need the word religion, do you?
This teaching, which is common to 7 billion people around the world, where everyone can save their own hearts is a wonderful humanism taught by a person named Buddha.
This was simply called Buddhism by people in later generations, and it is a teaching where everyone can be saved.
