where do people go when they die?

Go to heaven or hell. Being born again becomes a new life.
I've also heard that if it's cremated, it becomes a ghost, and if it's a burial, it becomes a zombie.

Life after death. I'm sure it's a world you won't understand as long as you live.
However, it is precisely because we are alive that we are trapped by the fear and wonder of death.

Is it only because you don't know that you can get rid of your fear of death?
Or is it better to know and die with peace of mind?

if there is heaven or hell...
Do we have to live in that world again?
if being born again becomes a new life...
Do we have to suffer in the same world again before we know it?

As something that lives in this world. As something that will die someday.
Please give me some advice for dealing with death.

Life or death should take its toll

Thank you for your question, Tama-san.

It seems that Buddha didn't talk about the world after death.

I think it means living in the present rather than thinking and worrying about things after death.

That being said, it may be normal for people to worry.

We will be born into a world of “suffering” over and over again, even if we mischievously repeat the cycle of life and death (shoujiruten).

I think it is Buddhism that seeks beyond life and death.

Shinran Shonin says he is looking for a “path leading to life and death” (a path that should lead to life and death).

Thinking about various things after death may be “lost.”

In the Jodo Shinshu sect, we believe that you will be born after death in the Pure Land where you can only give Amitabha Buddha a helping hand.

It is important to have your own faith and to deepen it

 Depending on religion, the world after death is different. It also varies from ethnic group to ethnic group. Also, it depends on the climate, that is, the living environment. It varies greatly depending on each person's religion, faith, worldview, and sense of ethics. There is no common answer for everyone.
Also, even if you say the same Buddhist, the explanation differs depending on the denomination, and I think it will also differ depending on the person's degree of faith and depth of ascetic experience. Some people see the world after death as a spiritual world, while others think of it as an actual spatial world. I have no choice but to say that it depends on how each person takes it.
Basically, the “world after death” common to all Buddhists is French soil. This is the land of the Buddha. It's the Buddha's world. Incidentally, it is said that Jodo is a name in which the pure land of the Buddha - the land of the Pure Buddha - is reduced. There are different explanations for where France is located depending on the sutras. For example, in the “Amida Sutra,” it is explained that there is a pure land of Amida Nyorai at the 100 trillion earth site in the west. According to another sutra, it is said that there is Yakushi Nyorai's Rurikou Pure Land in the east. There is also a sutra that explains that there is a pure land of Miroku Buddha far beyond the sky (Kabuto Zuten).

Various points have also been made from the standpoint of folklore studies. People who live by the sea think that the spirits of the dead go to a nearby island and then go to the world of the dead far away on the sea. People living in mountainous areas think that the spirits of the dead go to the mountain behind their homes, then ascend to nearby mountains, and then ascend to even more famous sacred mountains — such as Mount Osore, Mount Gassan, and Mount Koya.

I think there are many people who are confused when it comes to explaining it this way. I am from the Soto sect, so I will explain the following to parishioners from the standpoint of a Soto sect monk.

I think the easiest way to understand is if you understand that your ancestors are in the Buddhist altar in your house. Buddhist altars are the Buddha's world itself. The principal image, Buddha, and Goso Dogen Zenji Taizan Zenji were taught, and ancestors who became disciples of the Buddha and received the commandment received the commandment received their teachings and practiced under the Buddha, Dogen Zenji, and are watching over you who are your descendants. This is the land of France for followers of the Soto sect, and what expresses this is the Buddhist altar enshrined in everyone's home.

It's not ❝ going somewhere ❞

“Where do people go when they die?”
The Buddha picked up the light, put out the fire, and asked the ascetic.
“Where did this fire go?”
“Master, that's a wrong question. The fire didn't go anywhere.”
I think you can see that it is wrong to think that a fire will go somewhere, or that when a person dies, it will go somewhere. 🙎
I think there is such a thing as a world after death, and I assume and imagine this and that.
It is also said that the view of the world after death differs depending on the denomination, but what is different is the world ❝ view ❞, and since they are ❝ views ❞, it is a world of imagination in the head.
Just because a mosquito died right in front of your eyes doesn't mean they've gone anywhere.
The human ❝ concept ❞ is that I think I've gone somewhere.
People who have died in the first place have never been brought back to life.
All living people have never died.
So much of the “view” of the world after death is an imagination of a living person.
It's the thought that I'm sure it's ah, maybe this is it, and it's visualization and information.
In the first place, “where” was the image of the world after death born?
The main body, the main unit, is this head, and all the statues that appear in it are illusory.
That's why, as far as I know, the true form of Buddhism is to clarify the true identity of self and mind and live against ❝ truth ❞ ※ that is away from one's own thoughts.
There must be a guarantee for the Ano world thought up by daydreaming or delusional people.
If you get Satori, Nirvana, and peace of mind in order to realize the pure paradise in your mind in real time rather than the fake paradise of the world after death where you can't even prove its existence, it becomes clear that oh, this kind of thing was a delusion, and let's live without problems.
So isn't there a world after death? It's there.
It is “this world” that has continued forever, even after your close people and I have passed away. Strictly speaking, it's not “the world after death,”
“This world will continue to exist even after the death of us or someone else” should be regarded as the real world after death.
This is because this world continues to exist even after someone's death. (^<^)
Therefore, please cherish your relationships with the people around you and all the people you have relationships with, which you will continue to have a deep relationship with in the future.

“Immortality (immortality); those who die do not die”

Tama-sama

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

Until now, matters after death have been dealt with in the following questions.

http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/tag/死後

Among them, the recent poor answers to the following questions are a bit, and I think they may be helpful in terms of summary.

The question “What should I do to accept death?”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1006199690.html

In conclusion, in order to deal with ignorance (fundamental ignorance), worry, and misconduct (bad behavior) in accordance with the law of causality, good deeds are required to better regulate the state of mind (inheritance) and to go well after death.

Indeed, it is the Shichibutsu Buddhism called “All Evil, Mosaku, the Good Magi, Self-Purifying, and Purifying Your Heart by Purifying Yourself,” but the basic teaching of Buddhism is “to strive for good deeds without doing various bad deeds and work hard to purify one's heart by oneself.”

Also, as Mr. Tange said, there is no entity that goes after death. Discussions around this point require a very difficult understanding of the idea of “sky and luck” even within Buddhism. If you are interested, please also refer to the humble answers to the two questions below.

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

“... From the ultimate truth level, it is “immortality” in terms of life and death, and “there is no meaning” in terms of “meaning,” but on a secular level, “there is life and death” and “there is meaning.” Anyway, it's difficult. More than anything else, I think the most important thing is not to think too much about things you don't understand or can't get an answer to, and live better, the reality that is right in front of you “now,” to the fullest. ・・”

The question “Which is more difficult, living or dying?”
