What is the probability of going to humanity out of the six roads

(Written by my 5 year old son. (I'm sorry for the kid's question, but the person himself is very serious.)

I've heard that people go somewhere out of the six roads when they die. I want to be reborn as a human again.

・How many people can go to the humanitarian community?
・How can I increase my chances of going to a humanitarian situation?
・I'm afraid of dying. Is there a way not to die?
・If there's no way to not die, how should I spend every day?

Thank you for your support.

It's not easy to be born humane

・How many people can go to the humanitarian community?

I don't know the exact ratio, but it is thought that very few lives are born humanely.

・How can I increase my chances of going to a humanitarian situation?

The simple answer is “don't do bad things, do good things.” Everyone knows it, but it's something that no one can do easily.

・I'm afraid of dying. Is there a way not to die?

There's no way not to die. Please take a close look at your own feelings. I'm not afraid of dying itself; I'm afraid of not knowing or imagining how I and the world around me will change when I die. The Buddha tells us what will happen to the body in the present world after it is destroyed.

・If there's no way to not die, how should I spend every day?

A monk named Dogen Zenji said, “It's very difficult to be born as a person. There are very few opportunities to encounter Buddha's teachings. Now, thanks to good deeds in previous lives, we were born into hard-to-be humans, and we are experiencing Buddha's teachings that are hard to meet. Now is the time for a tremendous opportunity. They say, “Let's put the Buddha's teachings into practice so as not to waste this opportunity.” It doesn't matter if it's little by little, so try the “don't do bad things, do good things” challenge.

There are so many ants (1 Kyoto animal) on Earth
There are 1 million types of bugs alone
(Ask your mom for difficult numbers)
So, being born a human
It's a very rare thing

But if you're alive
It will surely die someday
Is this an ant or a human
All living things are the same

So what we can do is simple

I'm glad I was born a human
I'm glad dad and mom are kids
It's about not forgetting the feeling of thank you

Put your hands together to say thank you every day
Please take good care of everyone's lives

1. The probability of being born as a human being, for example, seems to be about hanging a string from above the sky and passing it through a hole in a needle sunk to the bottom of the sea. This is infinitely close to zero, isn't it?
2. I don't know. For now, mom and dad have to love each other.
3. If there are people who don't die, ask that person to tell me.
4. The Buddha said that if you don't do bad things and do good things, this life and the next will be easier. I believe that no matter when and where they die, everyone will definitely go to the Pure Land (heaven). Many of your ancestors will protect you too, so don't worry.

Namu Amida Buddha

In the Jodo sect, it is explained that anyone can die (reincarnate) in the Pure Land of Paradise if they call (say) Nanmu Amida Buddha and Nembutsu.
If you are born in the Pure Land of Paradise, you will either be heaven or human.
The sutras say that Amitabha Buddha swore that we, sinful and foolish, we would pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise.
Namu Amidabu Namu Amidabu
Namu Amidabu Namu Amidabu
If you call it nembutsu (), it is thought that Amida Buddha will pick you up at the end of that person's death, there is no pain of death (pain at the moment of death), and they can pass away with a calm heart (mind); all of these can be fulfilled by Amida Buddha's original power (other power).

Buddhism teaches that you can get out of the Rikudō Reincarnation

Hi

Dying is scary, isn't it? I want to be reborn as a human again. But what if you die and then be reborn as a human one more time? Also, it becomes “scary to die” in the same way, doesn't it? No matter how many times you are reborn into the human world, you will eventually die, so every time you do that, you are “afraid to die.”
There are 6 worlds called “Rokudo”: Heaven, Man, Shura, Beast, Gaki, and Hell, but no matter where you are reborn, they have a lifespan. I will definitely die.
If that's the case, I'll die as a human this time, but after that, when I'm reborn, I'm not a human, and it's better to be reincarnated into a “world where you don't die anymore,” where there is no place in “The Rikudo.”
By believing in Buddhism (understanding the teachings and supporting your heart) and practicing (performing) its teachings, you will die once as this person, but after that, you can be reborn into the world of Hoke Sama, a world of comfort, freed from these “six ways” (getting out of the six ways). Wouldn't that one be better?
If you think so, it is important to stick to the teachings of Buddhism and live properly. I wonder if the Buddhist teachings you can do now are “listen carefully to your father and mother and keep your promises,” “get along well with your friends,” and “don't take people's things or annoy people”? Can you do it? It's fine if you reflect on the day you couldn't do it and try the next day. Good luck.
