Everything is impermanent

Recently, my body and mind were struggling, I felt a strong sense of blockage in my life, and I felt that it was difficult to live, so I arrived at this site.
I came across the term impermanent behavior in Buddhist language and thought about it in my own way by comparing it with the current situation.
Everything is always changing...
I felt that it was a word that made me feel a little lonely, but now, even if bad things continue, is it possible to capture that this bad state will eventually change? I thought so.
Is this interpretation correct?
Also, if there are any words or teachings that would give me the strength to look forward to who I am now, I would be happy if you could give me them.

A wonderful realization

I think the realization that bad conditions always change is a wonderful discovery.
If we add impermanence, it means that impermanence has more than just a change after a long period of time.
Impermanent also has the meaning of floating moment by moment, then disappearing and changing, and is new moment by moment.
For example, the mind (thoughts and feelings) comes and disappears moment by moment, and is reborn with a new heart every moment, and a new self every moment.
Monks often attend funerals and vigils.
Even when it's a sad funeral, bereaved families are excited to chat with their relatives and burst out laughing during breaks.
Unfortunate events and grievances will never run out of life.
However, if you want to cut out the moment you move your hands when brushing your teeth, whether it's the morning of a funeral or the morning of a birthday party, for example, you can brush your teeth by simply moving your hands.
If you can live a way of life where you frequently return your heart (reset your thoughts and feelings) to a fresh “here and now” where both sorrow and joy have disappeared, unfortunate events will become impermanent for only a few seconds.

I read it.
Thank you for your question.
Things are constantly changing as you think.
It's not a Buddhist word, but there's a saying “everything about humans is a horse,” and it's a word that tells me that since everything changes all the time, it's very important to take it with a relaxed mind rather than just being happy and disappointed.
Everything changes. Life is long, so don't just get caught up in the immediate future, don't just get caught up in immediate profit and loss, and please live every day with peace of mind and richness. I will support you from the bottom of my heart.

What is the meaning of impermanent acts

The meaning of the Buddhist teachings of impermanence is slightly different.
The world changes all the time, and nothing is absolute.
Wealth, status, and fame are the same.
So it's wrong to be obsessed with something.
If you don't get attached, you won't suffer.
That's the teaching.
If you feel that life is difficult, you have arrived at Buddhism, which is a great answer.
Because Buddhism is a prescription for people like you.
It is said that bad things continue, and the basic idea of Buddhism is that if you do good things for others, it may take some time, but you will always be rewarded and happy.
Conversely, if you do bad things, even if you're having fun now, you're bound to experience terrible things in the future.
If you understand more specifically why you find life difficult, I think I can give you some more in-depth advice.

Impermanent conduct is the law of salvation ✨

Unfortunately, there are many almost almost erroneous interpretations of the various imperfections described in the world of Japanese Buddhism and literature.
why is that?
Because there is no salvation.
This is because the thoughts and values of pessimistic people have crept in.
When it comes to awful things, there are comics where the Buddha (/Ω\) talks super negative about “this world is suffering, it's impermanent.” That's loud. This is the subjectivity of those who create such works. The movie Dogen Zenji is also messy. The fact that works and things that circulate in the world become completely different things can be said not only for doctrine, but also for cooking. It's the premise of this world.
Therefore, negative meanings have been added to impermanent acts, pessimistic meanings have been added, and wicked pessimism and pessimistic meanings of “oh heartless, ah impermanent” have been brought in. This is important!
Few even Buddhists notice this. That's why the theory of various acts impermanent in a strange and sad sense has come to be proudly explained.
But calm down 💀 don't you honestly think no one will be saved even if you listen to such an impermanent, impermanent theory? This is important
This world is impermanent; it changes. Someday, both you and that person will look like old, dead leaves, dead trees with gray hair. NANTARLIE 💦
It is not an impermanent act as the meaning of salvation explained by the Buddha; it is simply a viewpoint that things are changing, and it is a natural reason for change in this world that children can understand from a science/scientific standpoint, regardless of Buddhism or anything else.

For example, even the phrase “don't let your wife eat autumn eggplant” varies depending on the interpretation.
① Wife snoring theory
② The theory of caring about the body
③ The theory that autumn eggplants are not blessed with children because there are few seeds
④ The theory that autumn eggplants are delicious, so I want to cherish them
⑤ Don't let mice (night eyes) eat theory
Therefore, I recommend that you have doubts and doubts about the imperfections you have heard up until now. Of course, it also means that good things are appearing.
Please take advantage of circumstances to upgrade this as the law of salvation preached by the Buddha.
Every being or living thing in this world has nothing to do with the intention of the person at the cellular level, transcending right and wrong, likes and dislikes, superiority and weakness, beauty, victory or loss, etc., and fresh presents are freshly taken from the Buddha world. 🎁
Doing zazen or nembutsu is an entrance and an opportunity to notice it.

“I am me. I want to cherish “the one and only person who can't be replaced by anyone.”

I read it while thinking they were the same age. After living for half a century, looking back on the past, feeling nostalgic about my youth, and feeling old due to changes in my body, I felt a sense of loss of not being able to keep what I had in my hands, or a stuck situation where I didn't feel expectations for the future as if I had entered a long tunnel, and a sense of emptiness and loneliness (what is it that I have worked so hard for?)

I can't keep up with TV or information, my memory gets bad, I don't feel motivated, and even when I get involved with young people at work, I can't keep up with topics. I'm keenly aware that she's an old lady...

Even when I got back to my parents' house, the scenery had changed, and my memorable places and the stores I often visited were gone. It feels like what I've lived for has disappeared, and it makes me scared. I want to go back to those days. I want to meet everyone. don't forget me.

Living through menopause is like this, and not everything I see is fun anymore. However, I want to praise myself for running this far, saying “you did your best,” and I'm thinking of walking to the next stage while slowing down my speed while doing mental and physical maintenance. From here on, rather than the enthusiasm to take on the challenge, while finding a chair (place to stay) with room to accept it or sit down, he said, “I am me. I want to cherish “the one and only person who can't be replaced by anyone.”

The Buddha cares for me like this. I want to be a person who can rejoice at being blessed with various relationships and blessings in a way of living hand in hand while receiving the reassuring peace of mind that they will be with me until the end of my life.

You, too, should walk slowly. My current feelings will also change again. Let's take care of them as they age while being swayed flexibly.
