What is an obsession with life

Hello.

What you are worried about comes through, but it seems necessary to sort out a little bit about what the Buddha thought.

The Buddha discovered that the more self-centered work (suffering) of trying to make reality the way you want it, the more it struggles to diverge from reality. To put it bluntly, they try to do what they want and it doesn't turn out the way they want; this is the cause of suffering.

It is exactly true when it comes to four struggles and eight hardships.
Here, we only touch on life, old age, illness, and death (four tribulations), but even though I want to stay young forever, I have to get old; I don't want to get sick but I have to die even though I don't want to die. Also, being born into that reality and being forced to do so is the famous birth and old age illness and death (life is born).

Since you were taught that “Buddha's fear of death is due to an obsession with life,” you seem to understand that “taking your own life is not a bad thing,” but “it should be tolerated.”

There seems to be some confusion in language and way of understanding, but the Buddha faced his own heart (anguish) of not being able to accept the reality that he would always die. I made the choice to face myself. It's not a choice to “take your own life.”

Meanwhile, you wrote, “I'm heartbroken, my job isn't going well, I don't like myself, and I want to die even more.” In other words, this means they say “I want to die” because they try to make reality the way they want it and it doesn't turn out the way they want, and it seems like a state where they are unaware of the function of one's heart (worry) itself in the first place. In other words, at this stage, the direction is different from how to deal with death with the Buddha, and there is a difference in understanding.

If you change your point of view, it can also be said that you are about to stand at the starting line where the Buddha was noticed. By all means, sit back and learn the teachings of a purpose you have a connection with. Once you have studied the introductory book properly, it will be quite different.

I hope that the Buddhist relationship will deepen in the future.

One misunderstanding in Buddhism is this “obsession.”

To be precise, it's called “persistence,” and “I” in this case is called an “entity,” and it is a place where we must aim to counter “substance obsession” with Buddhism.

The problem is that life and death are not in life, death, or many other individual events or individual entities, but rather that life and death are captured as real things, and that is why we live or die, and no matter what we do, we get lost and suffer in any case.

In short, even though they are things and things that have no substance in nature, the thoughts and actions themselves that assume that they have an substance have already become wrong. Wrong thoughts and actions are naturally not good things, and they usually become bad things, so karma has become an entity that wanders through wandering through reincarnation without becoming pure forever.

What is necessary in order to break through this “stubbornness” is Buddhist wisdom.

It is the power to understand the truth.

Also, in order to cultivate the power of wisdom, it is becoming important to have a good understanding of “sky” and “good fortune.”

Thinking about life and death is fine, but rather than actually capturing them as an entity, I think that by going deeper and deeper into that state, which is made up of luck, we will be able to understand even more clearly how we should live better, what life is, and what death is.

By all means, I would be grateful if you could approach it from the perspective of sky and luck.

“Isn't there anything real!?”
I have that kind of question.
Something is wrong with the world.
Am I the one who's crazy?
I have a feeling that seems like that.
I think such times are good opportunities and opportunities that serve as an opportunity to seek truth, the truth, the most important thing in this world, and something of supreme value.
At the time, I was a Bimbo student living alone, and I was a friend of kotatsu, guitar, Ichiko's Issho bottle, and Tenkaippin.
Toilets are also in Showa Japanese style, aren't they? There is no bath or shower.
Calendars and quotes of Zen monks from the Showa era who had a double seal of the Rinzai Soto sect who attained enlightenment were attached to the toilet. No matter how many times I read it, it was imipu.
However, when my brain priorities changed, it began to come in smoothly.
At one point, they also came to understand the Heart Sutra, which was the transcendent imifu. At the time, it was probably thought “Tange is crazy.” There were times when I started developing arguments like “this is what...” at a gathering of college friends with something like a Bible written down in a diary. There have been many times when I wanted to die. But that also gave way to strength.
(#°°°) Can you just die because of this! Anger saved me, didn't it? Anger is energy. You can do anything more than that if you choose to die! Ino
There, Bodhi Heart was activated and ignited.
(#°°) 🔥 If it doesn't hurt anyway, I'll reveal the content of enlightenment! Gogogo 🔥
I stayed at the library from there. At first, I started with Buddhist comics. I'm getting bored. Isn't there a book that says something more proper? It seems logical.
Shugyo Dojo Ikuzo!
My best friend Ueno-kun and I said, “Let's sit down the day before! (°°°) ('-`)?”
With momentum, they went up the mountain with the lead team. However, I had the impression that what I had been waiting for was not a place to seek enlightenment that I had been looking for, but rather a place where I would run out of physical strength in order to overcome the energy of good people after college. I hid from my senior in the kitchen with Yasui, got cigarettes, drank cooking alcohol, and talked about this.
“Aren't you interested in enlightenment?” “..., somehow, I'm so busy that it's not that far...” “That's right...”
Humans have strange priorities. Even though you think like Sinité and I, you haven't died yet. If you stir up your heart a little more from there, it's E. Then I think it will be amazing. “Iida Togakushi Inoue Yoshiyuki Inoue Kankudo” 🔍 Search

Even if you don't like one of them or only want one, the other one will always follow.
It's impermanent and instantaneous, so everything lasts only a moment. I can't live. But it's been going on for a long time. They continue to live and die at a tremendous speed, and there is an illusion that they are continuing to live.
Matter is the instrumental motion of atoms and electromagnetic waves, so let's take precautions now.
A body that is held together by the heart is left alone without being replenished with water or food, and this also changes moment by moment and continues to live and die, but in about a week, you will not be able to maintain your body and you will die.
But in reality, I don't want to die, I don't like being thirsty or hungry, and I keep living by eating and drinking.
If you commit suicide and forcibly destroy your body, saying you don't like that way of life, you will die somehow. However, my heart really doesn't want to die, so I'm reborn into something else. My mind just doesn't like this body, this way of life, and I really want a different way of life. With the power of worry, you will be reborn into something.
Enlightened people have lost their obsession with living or dying, but their bodies have a lifespan left, and they don't have any worries about dying, so they live for someone else. Once the lifespan of the body is over, I don't want to die or I still don't have the feeling that I want to be born into something, so it completely destroys me.
Wanting to die, or not liking this life, is an affliction, so if you die with that strong sense of anger, you will often have a bad life next, so it's better not to commit suicide, and it's better to settle down in this world or grow up a little and die.
