Can we bring our knowledge to the next world?

It is said that when you die, you can't take your money to the other world.
It is said that talents (skills) can be carried over to the next life.
It seems that people who have been talented and can do well from the beginning have made efforts in that area many generations before their previous lives. I was really convinced by this explanation, but I have my doubts.
Can knowledge be carried over?
No matter how hard you learn, people will die. Your brain will die too, right? When you're born, you don't have any knowledge you've learned in previous lives.
Is there any point in studying hard in this world?
I don't want to study. I haven't been studying steadily since a long time ago, so my basic academic ability is low. The maximum standard score is about 50.
It's so frustrating. Even when I start studying, I don't like being compared to people who can do things more efficiently than myself.
Even studying to use it as a subject for a hobby novel (history of magic, gun handling, etc.), I can't handle it because I'm frustrated with my slow understanding self.
I have a question. If you can bring talents (skills) to the next world, can you bring knowledge with you?
Please help me when I can't study.

You can't take knowledge with you, but studying is not in vain

You can't take knowledge with you, but studying isn't for nothing.
As mentioned, when a person dies, their brain also dies. In general, it is thought that most of the reason people retain knowledge is due to brain function. Just as when a cup filled with water falls and breaks, the water inside also scatters and eventually evaporates, so the knowledge held by the human brain also disappears along with the brain.
So is studying so hard to gain knowledge completely useless?
According to Buddha's teachings, it is thought that what is connected from this world to the next is not a single “I,” but rather a hardware and software-like component divided into 5 types called the “five pillars.” I think the state of how accurate these parts have and how they are combined can be hypothetically called “work.”
What makes humans different from simple robots is that by learning while living in this world, it is possible to improve and improve the accuracy and combination of these parts even better. The results of studying in this life will disappear as temporarily held information called knowledge, but they are not wasted in terms of being able to have better accuracy and better combinations as five elements that can be passed on to the next generation.
The fact that you are dissatisfied with your current knowledge and progress in learning is rather good because it means that you recognize that “you need to improve and improve.” It's painful because the desired results won't be realized right away, and this is the same for everyone.
The good thing about Buddha's teachings is that apart from the long and short time it takes, good effort always goes in a good direction.
I think if you study without being too impatient and be able to rejoice at the fact that you are gaining strength little by little, you will feel better.

Knowing past lives is a form of supernatural power

For example, one of the six divine powers called the six gods in Buddhism is the ability called destiny wisdom.
It is the ability to remember past lives (past lives). Nonetheless, in order to obtain that ability, it is necessary to practice quite a bit, up to the point of being called a hermit.
However, it is said that those born in the Pure Land of Paradise are automatically granted the Rikujinshi.
The sutras say that if anyone calls themselves “Namu Amida Buddha (Namu Amida Butsu)” and wishes to die in the Pure Land of Paradise, then Amida Buddha will make that person born in paradise.
Well, I don't know if this knowledge of the Earth is useful in the Pure Land of Paradise, but if you use nembutsu (or), you too will become a Bodhisattva of the Pure Land of Paradise in the next life, and you may be able to gain supernatural powers to remember memories from past lives.

Being able to confirm that you're not good at studying is also an important asset.
 

Can you take it with you when you wear it

 I've heard that you can only take the good and evil works of what you've done.
I've also heard that karma eventually shows up in personality. It's about that person's personality.
Even if I can't bring the knowledge (results) I gained from studying at school, I think I'll be able to bring along the guts and know-how (journey) such as hard work to gain knowledge and how to lead answers because it's my personality and personality.
When I talk about the past I remember in sutras, I'm actually remembering all my memories from past lives, so I'm sure I remember everything about how good my grades were at school and how society was at that time, but abstractly, I'm just saying that I was born under these parents, grew up eating this kind of thing, died like this, etc. Even if it remains as a memory for me, it has nothing to do with the person in front of me, and it is difficult to explain the past other than humans in human language in the first place. Being born, living (eating), and dying is common to all life, but individual details don't matter to others, and the past is over for me, so how to live now is more urgent.
So, rather than knowledge itself, the process of learning knowledge and living techniques is the wisdom of living even now, and it seems that it was a decisive factor in past lives.
Good grades in individual subjects are easier to do well at school and qualification tests. However, in other aspects, it is surprisingly unusable. Even in college, unlike high school, you have to do your own research, think, write sentences, and show results. The wisdom to achieve results once you get a job requires knowledge, but it lies outside of knowledge.
In Buddhism, knowledge is divided into personality and karma, and it is said that knowledge cannot be brought, only karma, but karma is useful for anyone born to learn knowledge and ways to live.
A habit or personality that somehow kindly does good, and a habit or personality that somehow tends to think bad things.
Somehow, the ingenuity of finding methods and methods on one's own to pave the way and the clumsiness of not being able to do it well.
This kind of habit and personality is karma, and knowledge is only a blade from time to time, but I think this is the decisive factor for a clever way of life where you can switch and get through with every situation in your life. This is a title you can take with you to the next life, and things you've worn since your previous life are big,
However, in Buddhism, it is also said that the portion of one's past life is half, and the effort of this life is half.
Rather than scores for individual subjects, I think the point is wisdom about whether this is necessary in society, and that it is likely to work well if you think about it this way.

Even people who can't study can learn

When people die, they can't take anything to “the other world.”
There is a story about why the world was like this even though no one has ever died in the first place (). Or do you believe such stories?
💀 It's a scary story where everyone died, so why do people know that story? It's the same logic as that.
※This is my personal opinion, so please use it as one study.
First of all, depending on the definition of “another world,” anything can be carried over to the other world.
For example, if talent (skill) can be carried over to the “next life” → if technology such as air conditioners and televisions are created in the Showa era, there are many people who will benefit from it in the next generation, even after their own death, in the “other world (here and now)”. Therefore, it is possible to carry it over. However, from the previous generation to the next generation. to the next generation. What is carried over to the next life form is not individual life, but DNA and the effects of life. Every living organism in this world carries its own baton of life, and the effects of individual life are carried over to the next generation. = There are aspects where learning abilities and skills inherited from previous generations will be passed on to the next generation.
Even in DNA research, knowledge and lessons learned will also be passed on to the lives of the next generation. The meaning of studying in this world is not just studying at school, but learning itself. It's life's learning itself.
There are a lot of people who don't want to study.
Japanese education is an I am a boy and disappointing education from the point of view of advanced learning areas overseas. True smarts are not only school grades and standard scores, but also “what” they can learn no matter what kind of situation they are in. It depends on whether you're making the most of your brain.
There are also people who have high standard scores and live a clerical life even if they are able to study at school and become bureaucrats.

Well, let me answer your question.
This learning is also learning, so please make yours from the answers of various people.
“If you can bring talents (skills) to the next world, can you bring knowledge?”
The afterlife and the afterlife are one second away. Everyone is in the next world from now on. afterlife. The next life is one second from now. Whether you're alive or not, the next life is always an eternal present. Therefore, the more you learn, the more you will grow in this world. So learn lots of things. Let's learn the aspect that biased and erroneous learning only results in poor learning. We talked about how to make you smarter.
