What should we do to accept death

Recently, there have been more opportunities to come into contact with the deaths of people close to me.
I came into contact with death reports from friends and relatives, and I became aware of death, saying “eventually, I too will die.”

However, in theory, I understand that “there is no escape from death” and “everything that is born will always perish,” but the feeling that “I still don't want to die” springs up.

Unless you're involved in an accident, I think sooner or later you'll be close to death. I can't imagine what I was doing at that time.

I think the views on life and death also vary depending on the denomination, but I would like you to teach me how to accept death.

Thank you very much for your support.

6 Zen Responses

Turn pages

The Zen missionary “Matsubara Tetsumeishi,” whom elementary school students respect and is their goal
The beginning and end of life were described as “turning pages.”

At first glance, we seem to have disappeared
The next page of the novel Life
I just turned it over.

It's expressed like that.

Well, even so, accepting death is paramount.
It means that this major issue is the ultimate problem in the Zen world.
I would be happy if you thought that would be so difficult.

To that end, in order for ancient people to accept that,
They resigned, etc., put it into words, and accepted it
Let's be a thing.

The Buddha said, “Work. It was said, “That is the path to immortality.”

Therefore, the Buddha is still working.
Sometimes it becomes a Buddha statue or a sutra
The source of the wind, the color of the mountains, the murmuring of the valleys, the dew of the morning,

Everything is Shakasa's sermon, now and at this hour
It is the Buddha's working form in the present progressive form that is being talked about.

What does that mean?

All of these are “peaceful” worlds of life,
Being prayed for the peace of a lively life, and working for it
The person who acted as my job is a person called the Buddha.

Let's say death is a kind of transit point.
I still don't think so, so it's proof that training isn't enough
Get close to the Buddha's heart, or within yourself
I live my life believing that I have that kind of spirit.

Act on a daily basis, like turning a page (read on)
I wish you could put what you receive somewhere in your heart
Fortunately, it is.
whoa whoa whoa. Gassho

The way to overcome fear of death is a heart of gratitude

7676 Buddha
As long as we are rational people, fear of death always accompanies us at every moment.

“I think I'll be close to death. I can't imagine what I was doing at that time.”

No one can imagine it. If you imagine it, it will reverse and fear will increase.
Isn't this fear of “dying” rather than fear of death?
No one can escape death, but how do we die? This question always accompanies me.

A few years ago, there was talk that a single-seater fishing boat broke down, and a fisherman was rescued after drifting for over a month. The fisherman who was saved said, “I sleep when I get sleepy, and when I wake up, I realize that I'm still alive.” It's a phrase that made me realize life next to death.
Remember the earthquake three years ago. The people whose families, homes, and towns were taken by the tsunami probably spent a cold night between life and death on the night of 3/11, feeling big aftershocks, darkness, and fear of a major tsunami that might come again at any time. How thankful was the light on the morning of 3/12.
Even for those of us outside of the disaster-stricken areas, we clearly remember feeling thankful that our families were safe on the morning of 3/12.

Fear of death and fear of how to die will always be in the back of your heart.
When I woke up in the morning, “I was able to wake up safely, thank you for your support all day today.”
At night, when I get home or before going to bed, “There were a lot of things going on all day, but I was able to return home safely and go to bed peacefully.”
Let's put our hands together in the morning and evening with that kind of feeling and a heart of gratitude, and nenbutsu.

You should be able to regain a peaceful everyday life.

How to be immortal

7676 Buddha
Nice to meet you, my name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an. Thank you for your support.

A teacher I respect once said to me, “Uragami-kun, there is one method for immortality, do you know?” I asked.
When I said “no,” while being upset about what they were going to say, the master and monk said, “Well, you can't be born.”

Furthermore, “Both you and I have already been born. So it's too late. Buddhism is not a path of immortality; it is a “path where life or death should not occur (a path where life or death should occur).”

A path that never comes to life or death. I understand that it's about seeking a way to live in peace and die in peace. However, I think most people, including me, die in fear, fear, and suffering without being able to obtain it.

Isn't it okay if you can't accept death?
Zen monk Senko Osho from the Edo period was asked by his disciples to “resign,” and it seems that he responded “not to die.”
When the disciple asked again about the response that was so uncool, they answered “really, really” (there is also a theory called Ikkyū Sojun).

I am hosting a workshop called “Death Experience Trip” on death issues.
More people than expected are interested and have received it.

There is no end to life.

The way of thinking may differ depending on the denomination.

Humans have been taught that even if there is an end to this body, life will never end.

Someday, when this body is over, we will always be able to meet again; this is the farewell of death.

I also broke up with my loved one in this life, and I spent days where the fire went out from the bottom of my heart because I had no purpose in life.

At that time, I came across Amida's teachings.

Right now, I live every day without regrets so I can laugh and be reunited.

Time is now, my feet, my life devoting myself to that and my life

About “death”

7676 Buddha

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

The issue of the “view of life and death” cannot be avoided, not to mention religion in general, but also in Buddhism.

Until now, Hasunoha has dealt with “death,” but I think the following humble answers may be slightly helpful.

Question “I can't get rid of my fear of death”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1002999290.html

Question “The meaning of life, I'm afraid of dying”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1002966329.html

The question “Which is more difficult, living or dying?”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1002992500.html

As for basic ways to approach “death,” I hope you can refer to the humble answer below.

The question “What happens when you die?”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1002844774.html

“... what happens after death “depends on how you live,” and that is what is desired as a “good” way of life as much as possible. It is thought that the state of the (empty) heart (inheritance) has a major effect in reincarnation after death. It is said that going after death in a state with bad causes such as ignorance (fundamental ignorance), worry, bad work, etc., is likely to be extremely severe (evil world... hell, devil, beast, etc.). I want to keep my heart (inheritance) pure through a certain “Buddha relationship,” and work hard towards enlightenment and nirvana in a state where Buddhist training can be carried out even after death. If we wish to attain true happiness (enlightenment, nirvana), I know that it is necessary to keep a firm focus on a “good” way of life. Let's work hard together so that we can accumulate good deeds. ・・”

Anyway, peace of mind towards death or after death is something I want to make steady and better adjustments depending on the state of mind (inheritance) and actions.

People can't experience death

Everyone is afraid of death at first.
What is scary is fear of losing, breaking, getting hurt, darkness, and not being able to know. Fear of death comes from “not knowing death well.”
You probably fell asleep yesterday. At that time, you wouldn't have known that you had slept, right? You probably haven't been able to do that even once until now.
Death is the same. Even if I think I'm going to die, I'm actually thankful that this body lives regardless of my own intentions.
I thought and feared dying until just before I died, so rather than thinking about death and throwing myself into a negative valley of darkness while I was alive, oh, I see, death completely stops this life, and all of my senses, pain, and memories come back to nothing in a good sense, but even after I die, only this world continues to exist, and as much as I exist and do something in this world, my influence even after death If I think that I will continue to live as if I were to communicate while I was dead in someone's mind, I think what I need to do will come out loud. Death is “absolute,” whether you accept it or not.
Death is something that should not be viewed as an end, but simply accepted as such.
Furthermore, don't you regard death as an end, end, dead, death, misfortune, bad thing, and something to be avoided?
There is no crime of death.
When you think about death, aren't you being blinded by your own dark thoughts that go along with it and think all this is bad?
I am a Zen master, so my main purpose is to reveal life and death and not be confused by it. It is said that Zen monk Senko said, “I won't die,” but he watched and laughed. (Laughter) The tension is “(^<^) oh, it's over already, if you can live, you want to live, but longevity is unavoidable) oh, it's amazing to die (lol)).”
If life and death are revealed, it is very reassuring.
You can die by saying (positive if I say it in an easy-to-understand manner) Oh, I'm so happy to die (laughs). Apart from that, I think being able to die by saying, oh, I can finally feel at ease (laughs) is a proud acceptance attitude of people who have revealed their lives.
I want to live until the end of my life without going against the life span I've been given, and die warmly.
