My brother's death

My younger brother, who was alive until now, committed suicide
He is the youngest brother
It also jumped in on the train and committed suicide. It passed away at age 16, so sad and I really regret why I said such a thing
I don't know why I committed suicide
My brother is rooted in the fact that he was bullied at school
I wonder if it came to be like this

How can I control my feelings?

Kobo Daishi Kukai also lost his nephew

Nice to meet you, Near. My name is Kawagami Yukei from Yakuo-ji.
You must be having a really hard time.
Kobo Daishi Kukai, the founder of the Shingon sect, also left the following sentences when his nephew, Mr. Chisen, who was one of the ten disciples, died at a young age.
That's sad (Kana) That's sad (Kana)

Pity is within

that's sad, that's sad

Sadness in the midst of sadness

That's sad, that's sad, that's sad (again)

It's sad ya sad ya it's sad over and over

“Tassin (Tassin) Sentence for the Late Disciple Chisen”

It is expressed that no matter how enlightened Kukai-sama was, she couldn't stop being saddened by the death of her apprentice and nephew.
I think it's a message to those of us who are ordinary people that we must not forget our sorrow, and that we can move forward so that we can overcome it over time.
Right now, please keep this sentence in your heart and grieve your brother's death to the fullest.

Now it's the family's turn

First of all, I would like to express my condolences. Namu Amida Buddha may pass away for his younger brother.
I don't mean to say the same thing, but even at my temple, there is a family where my brother's brother died young. Then, strangely enough, the way the family became divided into two parts after that.
First, it's an example where family ties are deepening once again. It's a family confronted with what he was struggling with, what he couldn't do as a family, and what kind of relationship they had with each other. Of course, in the process, they also bump into each other, curse, and fuss at each other. However, in the end, there are times when the bond as a family deepens. At this time, my younger brother's presence is one step earlier, but as a member of our ancestors, they are all opponents we can join hands with equally.
Another example is an example of families falling apart on the other hand. Equally, they don't accept it as their own problem; they just “treat each other as a crime.” As a result, it is not a caring relationship that falls apart, and sometimes it becomes a relationship of hate.
In other words, I'm being asked questions by him. “What is our family?” and. They are also asking how things have been in the past until now, but what is more important is “what are we going to do as a family from now on?” That's it. In other words, we left the past and don't have a present, but are we going as an extension of that? Are we going to start up as a family again? That's it. Someone must say the right thing, “This is probably what families are like.”
The first thing to do is take care of your mother. And it's about supporting the mother to be positive. While each person has worries, they take care of others while holding them. It's not about being positive, it's about “supporting becoming.” It's about you continuing to think about “what is a family,” and continue to realize it.
And I won't forget him. Being unforgiven is the essence of memorial services.
I'll be at work tomorrow morning and I'll be praying for your little brother. Namu Amida Buddha.

That was sad, wasn't it?
I sincerely pray for your brother's peace of mind.
First, I would like you to read it calmly.
I think your current suffering is caused by various feelings such as a sense of loss after losing your younger brother, remorse, and regret that you should have done it.
I think my brother is still suffering now. I think every day is a feeling of sadness clinging to me and never going away.
But please take a break and take a close look.
That is your idea. Your feelings for your brother.
Your various feelings for your younger brother come together, and you are suffering because of those thoughts.
My brother is in a quiet world right now.
Feelings of remembrance arise, such as wanting to do this for that younger brother and that they should have done this.
They are drunk and suffering from that feeling of admiration.
It's called a spirit.
An example of this is unformed Buddhism.
Many people preach that there are spirits outside, but this is not the case.
It is precisely because the quality of your feelings for your younger brother remains sad that you cannot attain Buddhism together.
Thoughts for you and for the younger brother in you.
I think you'll regret not being able to stop it. But that was my brother's choice.
Tonight, please say words praising their dignity, saying that even a little bit is fine, so they did their best.
Who wants to die of their own accord?
Little brother, you have endured well and worked hard to survive in such a lively world. Brother, I'll give you a compliment.
There may be a suicide note. Please look for it for them.
There must be someone who bullied you. Please find out. If your real name remains, file a complaint and go to court.
I think train companies will also charge a large amount of money. I hear they usually don't charge in the case of suicide. Please identify the people who bullied your brother and keep insisting that the other party should pay for it. The world should be on your side. If he wins the case, his younger brother will be a great person to eliminate future bullying in Japan. Why is it OK to be forgiven for having my younger brother killed and then made to bear a large amount of debt?
However, forgiving it is also Buddhism. No matter how much you blame your opponent, your younger brother won't come back, so the fault should be corrected. I want you to do something for your brother.
By taking action, I think I can feel that my relationship with my younger brother continues.

Please cry now

I would like to express my sincere condolences.
Please cry now.
Please just cry.
That's probably the only thing we can do right now.

The only thing I want you to know is
Death is not an eternal farewell.
The way it is conveyed differs depending on the denomination,
For me,
My brother is already in the Pure Land of Paradise.
I'm sure you've met many of your ancestors by now.
And then we can meet again.
Someday, we'll meet again in the Pure Land of Paradise.

Your brother has been watching over you since the Pure Land of Paradise.
Please join forces with your family to overcome that grief so that your little brother doesn't worry.

Don't blame yourself.
Don't blame others.
It's an unreasonable world.
There are times when there's nothing you can do about it.
And resentment only breeds resentment; it doesn't solve anything.
Please forgive yourself.
Please forgive others.

I hope we meet again someday in the Pure Land of Paradise.
