To die and to live

worship

Young children are always watching adults' reactions
More than words
Look at the reaction of adults
It imitates reactions to unknown things
It's an instinctive response to self-defense

In an example that is easy to understand
Parents against bugs
If you respond with disgusting
children will have the same reaction

So
This time
I wonder if it's difficult to lead with logic
empathy is also unnecessary

Cuddling
Be kind or gentle
You can use fantasy
If necessary, do as fast as needed
It would be good to talk about death

“What happens after death?” Kadokawa Bunko is easy to understand.
Death is probably disgusting even if you know it, but if you don't know it, it makes you even more anxious.
The Buddhist view of life and death, or rather reincarnation following death and life after death, and the path to escape from reincarnation are explained in simple and clear Japanese.
Know first, and then gradually overcome the uneasy part by not looking away and accepting the truth that death is like this.

My daughter's problems are very important.

I think it would be very wasteful to give vague answers such as saying that if you do something good, you can go to heaven, or that you die when you are about the age of your great-grandmother..., etc., it would be very wasteful to have questions about life and death that have sprung up all the time.

If you don't understand something, honestly tell them “I don't understand.”

Humans probably don't understand the lifespan at all.

Even when young, there are many people who die due to accidents or illnesses, and it has been reported, so I think my daughter will be able to see through it right away even if I answer something ridiculous. And you'll feel like your parents have lied to you.

Why are we alive, why do we die, death...
It must also be a question for your life.

Please face your daughter's questions carefully.

I think it's better not to categorically convey religion and things that are said in various books by conveying “that's what they say.”

Right now, I'm telling you that there are only things you can do because you're alive, and it seems good to tell them that from now on, let's think about life and death together.
Also, please listen sincerely to your daughter's words.

At first, you may feel unbearably afraid of death, but I think it's a good idea to tell them that everyone will always pass away.

With that question, I think it's okay for parents and children to go around the temple and ask the monks.
However, instead of believing the story, please use it as a candidate to taste the story and examine whether it makes sense.

There is a view of life and death that I feel, but that is just one example for my daughter in the current situation, and I don't think it's good to impose it.

Please actually listen to many stories and think about how you feel about it as a daughter in your life.

She's a terribly rare girl.
Normal children don't show much interest, and I think there are many children who can only take it like a game.

Please take good care of that question and nurture it.

P.S., I've already recorded stories about living and dying soon on my YouTube channel, and I'm in the process of editing them into videos. It will be uploaded gradually, so if you have a chance, I would appreciate it if you could take a look at it as one of the reference examples.

As a mother, it would be a good idea to honestly talk to them about how you feel.
My mom is also afraid of dying, and she doesn't want to die.
I think really teaching means eliminating differences in age and age.
That's because they're the same person.
And that's because we're all going to die.
How to stop being afraid of dying, or lives are reduced while thinking about being scared even when it's scary.
It's a life that dwindles even while praying for longevity.
My mother will die someday, but how can I stay okay with what I usually do? It would be good if I just explained... bluntly.
❝ Don't look at death and the sun ❞
Rather than difficult stories or religious stories, it's about a mother talking about how she thinks about death in the same position as a mother, without any position or age, without strangely parenting her in the same position of dying.

“Fear of death”
Death is a fact. No right or wrong. Fear of death is human thought. It's an uneasy mentality. It means imagining death in a negative way as if you were frightened by the dark because you don't understand it well.
If we don't die, the world is going to be in trouble. Food is also the life of other beings.

“Stories after death”
Even when people die, they don't live in a living form; they live. It persists as an effect. Because they live by function, influence, and function, they often admonish that they should not live a way of life that causes people to suffer even after death.
If you live like the founder of Aum Shinrikyo, you will hurt people during birth, continue to torment families, believers, and the general public even after the person dies, and make the whole of Japan feel bad. They admonish that the world after death is not a distant world, nor is it fantasy, and in reality, it continues to have a great influence on someone after someone's death.

“Being alive”
A person's life has nothing to do with one's own sense of ego.
Even if I don't want to die myself, I'm living properly now i, and even if I don't want to die, I die properly when I should die. Every person in history who was born on this earth died without much trouble unless they had much bad luck.
Even one breath has nothing to do with one's own intentions. The main character of life is not one's own sense of self, but this body, mind, and life itself, where you wake up before you know it and fall asleep without knowing it.
When we live, it's not just about what we do, but how we live. It's about how to live. There's no tomorrow without telling you today.
