Whereabouts of souls due to cause of death

Yo-sama

I would like to express my condolences to your father. Also, I understand that you have a sense of loss. It's really hard.

When it comes to suicide or suicide, that alone does not equal “bad thing” or “bad work.”

The problem is where the motives (state of mind) and behavior are comprehensively questioned.

However, in the case of suicide, it is almost always due to worry, and acts due to worry become bad business, so it is not something that can be recommended.

Of course, if the motive is pure, not due to worry, ignorance, or ignorance, it is possible that it will be a neutral act or a good cause.

So, again, suicide and suicide are not unequivocally “bad things.”

If you would like to know the details of the situation after death, please refer to the following books.

The Gelk School Edition Tibetan Book of the Dead (Gakken M Bunko)

Secret Meeting Tantra Overview (Hozokan)

In particular, “The Gelk school version of the Tibetan Book of the Dead” is a translation of Master Yangchengaro's “Light that clearly clarifies the basic structure of the three bodies,” and you can learn more about the process of “death, possession, and regeneration.”

Now, it's about whether or not I'll be able to meet my father again, but depending on the relationship, that's possible. The problem is that “relationship,” but it is possible for various things, such as past lives, relationships with strong ties during life, relationships through Buddha, and relationships due to memorial services or merits.

I think number one is the place where both relationships with the Buddha and the power of merit occur in the Pure Land under the Buddha.

To that end, it is necessary to have good deeds and good relationships with the Buddha together.

It can be said that this possibility will increase even more by doing the best possible memorial service for your father and by accumulating merit as much as possible in this life.

Let's think about you as the subject.
Dad's death for you. It's not the cause of death, but the cause of your future life.
No matter what the cause of the father's death is, the father's death is “the death of the father himself.”
Also, even if the cause of death was an illness, accident, or suicide, you are the one who witnessed that death and it will have an impact on your future life. Genesis.
It seems that there is an “expression” in this world of falling into hell due to suicide. This is because of human history and experience, the “people around you” who are involved with that person who chose death themselves. The death of the deceased was due to suicide, and there were probably “many, many” people whose lives thereafter began to live dark lives like living hell. If a person takes their own life, it is a “sad death” even at the end of one's life. It's probably a “sad death” for people around them, where they can't do anything for that person at the end of their lives.
Furthermore, even after that, the bereaved family continues to feel like they can't be saved = it's just a living hell. This is a dark life as a real fact, the reality of the grief of bereaved families.
What is the world after death
A The world we envision after death
Not only
B We who have a relationship with that person walk through the world after death = “life” = this world.
This world, which continues even after the death of someone close to you, should be called “the world after death (of the deceased).” Rational Buddhism says “there.”
A previous life was one second ago. The next life is one second away. No one can change the past, and no one knows the future.
The secular “afterlife view” known to the general public focuses mainly on the deceased.
Many people don't see the afterlife as a real world. Isn't it exactly the latter B problem that you're sad that your dad died? That's because you're sad right now. The fact that the destination of the soul changes depending on the cause of death means “your current soul.”
Therefore, by offering memorial services and filial piety = the heart of bodhisattva in order to guide and direct your soul and spirit to your future ❝ co-walking ❞ with your beloved father, you will be able to meet your father while living in the future. Your father is engraved on you as an agent that can never be erased, even at the DNA level, and you can't leave it.
It's okay if you don't want to meet someone after death and don't want to live in the afterlife.
The spirit of living, walking together, and rewarding kindness is “meet, meet, and encounter.” To mourn a bodhi is a bodhisattva heart that seeks the supreme heart.

Hello.

It says “You don't need anything pretty” and “don't worry about it and tell me your original thoughts as they are,” so don't hesitate to write them.

There probably aren't as many variations on “the world after death” as there are “websites you've seen,” but each sect has its own point of view. In other words, it will be possible to gather the same information as before by looking at the responses of the responding monks from each position here.

However, it is important to gather information as information, but the bottom line is the step of living and believing in the teachings of that sect.

In particular, the core part of your question is all about things you can't really understand unless you live by that teaching.

“If you commit suicide” or “go to hell immediately”?
Shinran Shonin says that hell is my fixed abode. So, “suicide” is not the dividing line between “going to hell,” and where the accumulation (work) of human daily actions ends up being “going to hell” in the first place.

However, what is essential here is that the saint is thinking about the belief that there is a Buddha who takes pity on that person and saves them to paradise. In other words, it's not Buddhism that only thinks about “how karma is” in an occult sense.

“If I were to commit suicide, wouldn't I be able to meet my father who died of illness?”
This is something you can't understand unless it's a combination with faith.

Humans are unable to break the barrier that “no one knows about the world after death,” after all, while thinking about the afterlife, collecting information, and sifting through their own choices. What's more, I don't know if I'm relieved by the peaceful “world after death” or if I can meet or not. In other words, the accumulation of knowledge called information does not equal peace of mind.

Ultimately, if you don't have faith that it's true because the Buddha says it's true, not yourself, you won't be freed from the doubt that “no one can understand the world after death” that continues to lurk faintly in your heart.

I was able to feel at ease in the pure land of paradise, and the Buddha took me there, and I was able to listen to the sutras where I could meet close people again, and I was able to live in that world

If you have a relationship too (character limit)

We all continue to live by always doing good, bad, good or bad things with our hearts, words, or bodies, receiving those results, and doing something new.
Even if they say that the result of doing something is karma, I don't know which is which result. However, there is always an instinctive driving force, such as wanting to live or not wanting to suffer. Thanks to that, I keep doing something (I can't even stop breathing. (Because it's painful and disgusting), they continue to live, so you can also see that driving force as an expression of karma from the past.
There are actually many causes of death, even for a single death. It's not just one or the other. Was suicide the cause of death? No, the cause of death is hanging and breaking a bone or not being able to breathe, or bleeding profusely due to too much blood flowing. Those are superficial distinctions. Actually, various causes and relationships happen to me every moment at the same time, yet my actions are always just one at a time (but it seems like I'm doing various things quickly). But if you don't keep doing something, you'll die, so I'm doing something desperately (even breathing, I'm doing it desperately because I don't want to die).
With such primitive instinctive actions and a little more leeway, everyone continues to live while receiving the consequences of doing good deeds (good works) and misdeeds (bad karma).
When this body becomes unusable, it gives up, hurries, runs away from this body (dies), and creates another body somewhere, the mind. This is reincarnation. What will happen next is a continuation of the mind, so neither the person himself nor the people around him can understand “it's probably about that much,” even if they don't know exactly where and what they will be reborn into. If you have a bad heart, go to hungry demons, damn hell, and if you have a good heart, go to heaven or humans. It doesn't matter how you suffer or how you die when you die. The pain is so different.
I don't know where your father went, but when you died, if you had the same work and the same heart, it's quite possible that you would go to the same place. If it's Tenkai or Gakido, it seems that only memories of a lifetime just before will remain, so you can understand each other.
