My heart is going to break

It's hard and painful to live in a chaotic world, and in this sense of blockage, there is no point in hosting the Olympics or the like, even if government officials boycott the Uyghur region due to human rights violations against people in the Uyghur region, there is no point in reporting it as a festival every day, and the mass media that reports it like a festival every day, and the government that responds on an ad hoc basis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and I feel it is difficult to maintain my heart.
I am heartbroken by the misery of Myanmar's Rohingya refugees and the tyranny of the military regime. There are also people I know who are trying to help the people of Myanmar with NPO corporations etc. for the liberation of the people of Myanmar. I'm also making donations and fundraising for what I can do, but it's a painful feeling that there aren't many things I can do. I think I have no choice but to live my life every day by doing what I can where I am now, but it seems to break my heart wondering how long unreasonable things will go through.
There may be a lot of information in urban areas and my mind is often misunderstood; I'm tired of working in an urban area and living in an urban area. I would like to live with nature away from urban areas and live in a natural environment, even if it is difficult to be self-sufficient. I try not to watch news programs as much as possible, but the topic of the COVID-19 crisis every day is painful. I'm grateful to have a family and work in the environment I've been given, but I can't suppress the excitement in my heart. What should I do to prepare my mind and live my life; it seems that my heart will be broken at this rate.

I'm excited to say I can't accept what I can't accept

Hello.

I also read past questions. How are you feeling after returning to work? First of all, please take good care of yourself.

I am one of those who, like you, are heartbroken about major international issues and issues.

The current issue of oppression against the Uighurs is an issue of the current Chinese administration aiming for genocide and ethnic cleansing. Also, the issue of oppression against the Rohingya is probably an issue of the current administration in a centralized manner.

But as you've probably noticed, the reality is more complicated.

As for the Rohingya problem, colonial policies during the period of British rule cast a big shadow over it. Also, it seems that there is a history where the perpetrator side and the victim side have been intricately replaced until now.

Also, the fact that Islamic countries in the Middle East, which are on the same religious side, do not take strong measures against such violent oppression by China is probably the result of a power game aimed at Europe and the United States.

Also, I think there is a problem with the mass media not actively communicating such information.

However, the reality is so complicated, and there is a limit to what one person can do. I think it's also called mental tolerance.

So what I recommend to you is to temporarily take a break from taking on things you can't take on right now.

I don't dare to answer this Hasunoha answer when I don't have time to spare or mental leeway. That's because I can't do anything outside of my own tolerance, and I think it's okay not to do anything I can't do. I don't think of that as not being able to make an effort or running away from responsibility. Rather, I think that drawing a line between not being able to do what you can't do is fulfilling your responsibilities.

Have you taken on many things beyond your capacity, such as major international issues, the state of mass media coverage, COVID-19 issues, your future lifestyle, and your current work? Among them, narrow down what you can do responsibly. I'm excited that I can't accept what I can't accept. I think that's fine.

Serious people take on too many responsibilities, and they feel ashamed to stop thinking. I'm going to stop there and review it.

First, do what you can. Once you have time to spare, I think you can do the other things in that order.

Take care of yourself.

Let's share

I read it.
I read that while you are watching and listening to the various disasters and people's desires and disputes in this world on the news, etc., various emotions are boiling up, and you are feeling troubled and painful. I think it's reasonable to witness this reality where people, nations, companies, and organizations use lies, morals, fraud, theft, extortion, and violence to secure their own interests, and hurt and rob vulnerable people and minority people, and wonder what terrible situations and terrible things you do, and what kind of terrible people, nations, and organizations. I think it's natural to think that your heart will be hurt and broken.
If you look at it from the Buddha's point of view, this world really is a crazy world. It's a world where people continue to suffer over and over again, lying, stealing, and killing for the sake of desire, and people continue to commit such deep crimes, and so many people and things are being harassed for that.
Such an awful and foolish world is called dirty earth (Edo). In other words, it's about our world.
Buddhism, in other words, Buddha's teachings are teachings about leaving such a foolish and terrible world, abandoning our greed, anger, and foolishness, that is, the affliction of suffering, and becoming a Buddha with peace of mind and peace of mind.
If everyone respects and respects themselves and others, appreciates each other's relationships and blessings, and is able to know and accept what is sufficient, then this dirty and foolish world and we can naturally change.
Each of us is a trivial entity that really doesn't exist, so I think what I can do is limited. The strength of each person may be weak, but if each person tries to do good thoughts, good words, and good deeds every day, helps each other while caring for each other, sincerely understands what is enough together, and puts them into practice little by little, they will surely be led to a good direction, and the world will naturally change.
Let's have the Buddha listen to that thought and accept it without just holding it in your heart, and let's share it together.
I am sincerely grateful to the Buddha for the future while being given precious relationships and blessings, and I sincerely pray to the Buddha so that together with everyone, you can be compassionate with each other, be healthy, and live well from the bottom of your heart. Let's live by sharing what we know together. Thank you very much for your reply. I'll trust the Buddha and leave it up to you. And let's work hard.

Delusional distractions just pass through the mind

Everyone has delusional distractions.
So it's OK if delusional distractions occur.
Just don't forget it.
If you compare the mind to a house, then delusional distractions are not the master of the mind's house.
This is a customer. Customers always go home and pass by.
So who is the master of the heart?
In the case of the Jodo sect, the master of the heart is Nembutsu of Namu Amida Buddha.
Delusional distractions other than Nembutsu are passing by.
Customers always pass by, and their hearts return to their master, Namu Amida Buddha.
The mind floats up and disappears moment by moment.
A new self every moment.
So, let's be aware that transient delusional distractions are transient.

Live with real intentions, real intentions. Stop the outrage by raising a voice of good intentions.

Bottom line: rather than freeze, raise your voice with like-minded peers with conviction.
The most outrageous activity in the world is malice that suppresses even the voices of justice.
The modus operandi is cunning and extremely despicable. Even if it's true, they'll lie if it's fake news or a hoax. Outrageous activities are in full swing “inhumane and non-religious = terrible 👿”. If ego is the main axis and it's for selfishness 💓👁 it's crazy that organ hunting medicine is OK too. It really is the real hell in this world. It is called a festival of peace. And silent people who know it but pretend not to see it. It's just that they don't have a sense of religion or salvation. There is a feeling that they are trying to help the suffering of others with the same family and pretending to be someone with poor information by valuing self-preservation over the spirit of being sentient. Japanese people do not misunderstand silence as a virtue, but they are a conservationist who skillfully uses silence. Even though people with the same family have been ruthlessly killed by the CCP, interned, and severely tortured, “no one stops” is abnormal. that would be crazy. 💀 If so, I thought I'd raise my voice even when people say they hate netoyo, hate Korea, hate China. A contradiction where human rights in the religious industry do not function even though they are human rights. If you look up people who are always making a fuss about human rights and demonstrations in the world, they are compatriots of Chinese and Korean interests. When it comes to religion, I don't think it's enough just to be bogged down. Even if it is performed as a symbolic act, if there is no religious spirit among the mentors or attendees, or if it does not develop, it is just a formal ceremony. It is truly one of the 100 rare sights. That's why I call it Bodhi Heart Bodhi Heart.
Whether there is a “leader/destination that includes improving humanity and personality ✨”. Recently, a smart dentist at a memorial service said, “('-`h) ✨ From now on, I'll be scraping using this kind of tool. I'm doing the memorial service while explaining the sutras and the details of the memorial service to you as if “Chui!” They feel the meaning, and if everyone doesn't develop a sense of religion, they are in a state of “I just don't know what they're doing.” I have the same idea as you. Since a few years ago, I have been sounding the alarm through SNS about the Chinese Communist Party's despicable invasion of Uyghur, Tibet, Okinawa, etc., and the malicious anti-Japanese internal Korean outrage masquerading as Japan, and the modus operandi of deceiving Japanese people by suspending accounts. Then, in the world of monks, it was treated as “Tange is a netoyo.” lol
Sure enough, the world turned out just as I had anticipated. If they become silent people ignoring victims when they become saints, evil is amplified and complained by that silence. I'm raising my voice of opposition.
