I want to get away from the values I was planted with.

How should we live within this world structure created based on selfish desires, originally divided to share one?
No matter how clean you try to live, every time you buy a chocolate bar or a piece of clothing, your life crosses the ocean and is transformed into a source of suffering for others.
I couldn't see a bright future at all in the structure of modern capitalism and modern values, and I couldn't appreciate what happened every morning.

They are robbed of their thoughts by poor food, and if they try hard to escape, they will unknowingly deepen the suffering of the world.
I can't compete with the structure of the world designed to revolve around me like this, and I can't find my own way of life.
I seriously thought about it many times, and there was a time when the Heart Sutra helped me
No matter how many years have passed, I can still feel the voice of the soul asking if that's OK.
(I don't think I'll be able to understand the true meaning of the sky after a few years of hard work)

Until a few years ago, I had an appreciation and pride for everything in this country, and while working as a toboe craftsman with a sense of worth living in this country, I was able to draw pictures in nature on my days off and make music at home, making music at home.
Recently, however, I've lost my motivation to create, and this is the last picture of hell I drew a few years ago.

I'm sorry for the troublesome question in the midst of your busy schedule at the end of the year.
I tried various methods to work on both the outside world and the internal world, but I couldn't do anything, and I ran out of money, so I was able to discuss it here.

I'm happy that you just read it.
I'm sorry for so long, and I hope everyone has a nice day.
We look forward to working with you.

There is only

Please don't apologize first.

Accept the present.

Nothing more, nothing less.

You can draw if you want to.

Relax according to yourself.

Follow your own feelings.

Thank you for your question.
Maybe they're caught up in a small desire called selfishness.
It's okay to have greater greed.
It's not a selfish desire where only I can benefit, but a big desire where everyone benefits.
Specifically, it's work.
It's not a crime, it's a decent job.
No matter what kind of work you do, you can go around and support someone somewhere.
You can also get paid for your work.
Everyone benefits.
Also, for those who have a strong desire to buy chocolate bars, clothes, etc., and want producers to be happy, I think it's a good idea to buy something that is described as fair trade, although it is slightly more expensive.

Use yourself as a light

I read it.
I read what you think and worry about while living in this world and society. I feel like I can also understand how painful you are. I truly appreciate the inside of your heart.

Because of this kind of world and social structure, I think it is very important to think about how it is good and desirable for us to live in the future, and to put into practice what we can do.

What the Buddha said is “Jitomyoho Tomei.”
It means let's live our lives using ourselves as a light and using law and truth as a light.

Since this world is full of selfishness, it is important to reflect firmly on oneself and move forward with good.

Going forward with good things without doing evil, and surviving with a pure heart is what Buddha taught.

Please share your thoughts and feelings again, and we look forward to hearing from the bottom of our hearts.

I sincerely pray to the Buddha that you will be able to successfully survive this world without advancing your good thoughts, words, and actions. And I wholeheartedly support you. We wholeheartedly agree

An IP address is required for communication (contact)

Viruses do not have cell membranes, but we (single-celled organisms and multicellular organisms) have cell membranes, and the world is divided between the inside and outside of the membrane.
However, if single-celled organisms don't communicate with others, the concept of “I” should be unnecessary.
When cells keep in touch with each other and act in cooperation as an organization, each cell needs an IP address-like symbol, that is, I (I).
If you think about it that way, it may be possible to say that I am just a tool for communication because I am not contacting you because I am there, but rather that I (the distinction between self and others) is just a tool for communication.
Robots also need their own name (symbol) (the robot in question) in order to communicate and link with other robots.
If the “me” and “my thing,” which we are particular about in our daily lives, are just temporary symbols and addresses for communication and cooperation, it might be interesting to take a bird's-eye view once in a while.
