I don't want to be reborn

I'm always indebted to you. I've always thought this time around, but I don't want to be reborn again. I never want to come back to this world. I've been living for 54 years, and it's been such a terrible life. My dead parents also had a terrible life. There's a feeling that something terrible can be understood by each other, and at one point you don't want to be born to your parents again, right? If you feel so bad when you hear that, I'm sorry again! I want to completely disappear if I were to be reborn! I answered right away. That was the answer I expected. Similarly, I consistently don't want to be reborn again, and I don't want to come back to this world. I don't think this idea will change until I die. Is there a way to completely disappear without being reborn? Please refrain from answering if you have hope for the next life or if you think that life is a terrible state of mind. It would be counterproductive.

Nirvana silence (nehanjakujo), paradise

In Buddhism, it is explained that if you understand the truth, destroy your worries, and enter nirvana (peaceful destruction), you can be freed from reincarnation.
So, if you understand something like Buddha or his disciples, you won't be reincarnated.
It seems that if you enter Nirvana, even the gods won't be able to discover you.
In order to understand, it is necessary to practice precepts (moral lifestyle habits), meditation (meditation for mental concentration: samatha), and wisdom (meditation to realize suffering, impermanence, and selflessness by observing phenomena: Vipassana).
Please search the internet for ways to do things such as Vipassana.
However, in Japan, from around the Heian period, the “Jodo religion,” where it is difficult to understand, is difficult for ordinary people (bonpu), who are full of worries that are difficult to understand, to enter nirvana in this world, so the “Jodo religion,” where they first aim to pass away (reincarnate) in the Pure Land of Paradise, which is an environment where it is easy to understand, has flourished.
Among them, in the case of the Jodo sect, based on the description in the sutras, it is explained that anyone who prays for death in paradise by calling (saying) a nembutsu called Namu Amida Buddha can pass away.
According to Amitabha Buddha's oath (original prayer), who created the Pure Land of Paradise, you can pass away to paradise simply by nenbutsu, so it's a very simple teaching.
Honen Shonin said that being born as a human being, being introduced to Buddhism, leaving the hard-to-reach village of reincarnation and passing away in paradise is “joy within joy.”

“Rikudo Reincarnation” in Buddhism is not something you “expect from the next life”

You've been able to survive the harsh days for 54 years, haven't you? I firmly accepted the painful cries “I never want to be reborn again” and “I want to completely disappear.”

“Complete extinction” is desired, but since humans always die, the physical body will eventually completely disappear physically. Also, “Rikudo Reincarnation,” as explained in Buddhism, is by no means “expected from the next life.” Breaking out of the circle of survival of suffering (liberation, nirvana silence) is the ultimate goal, and we aim to “never be reborn into a lost world.”

In the Jodo Shinshu sect, it is stated that “every complaining ordinary man is a foolish being,” and “villain Masaki,” where only those who cannot break their doubts on their own are the target of salvation by Amida Nyorai is explained. We simply leave it up to the Buddha's promise to “save all sentient beings.” The way to never return to a world of suffering has already been prepared.

I understand the feeling of comparing your surroundings with your own misfortunes and hoping for extreme annihilation. However, just as the “glass of water” you drink when you are terribly thirsty can feel “tasty” and “appreciated” without logic, there are moments that suddenly soothe your heart, even in the midst of suffering.

I'm not asking you to “have hope for the next life” or “be like having a heart.” I leave the path of not being reborn into a lost world to the Buddha, and I sincerely hope that you can just live “now” until the end of your life.

I pray that you will be saved

I read it.
I read that you really don't want to be reborn again. I don't know the details of your life or that of your family members, but I sincerely understand your painful feelings.
When you feel that way, I think all the pain and suffering that are really indescribable has continued. I don't know the details about you, but your thoughts always come through.
If you think so, please sincerely convey that thought to the Buddha, gods, and ancestors, and sincerely ask that you never be reborn again.

The Buddha and God will kindly accept all of your thoughts. Your ancestors are close to your thoughts.
And when you live a full life, the Buddha or God will always guide you, and your ancestors will treat you kindly. You will be saved from any hesitation or suffering under the Buddha or God, and you will attain Buddhism cleanly without any worries. And they won't be reborn.

I sincerely pray to the Buddha, God, and your ancestors that you and everyone in your family will be guided by the Buddha and God and kindly greeted by your ancestors in the future and saved from any hesitation or suffering, and that you will feel at ease from the bottom of your heart.

May you find faith you can rely on. Gain peace of mind while living

I never want to come back to this world. You don't want to repeat the path you've lived.
Even looking back, they feel that it was a terrible life, so I'm sure they have a strong desire that they don't want to suffer any more.

If the Buddha sees your suffering and listens to your wishes, he will work to save you.

This world doesn't go quite as expected, and it causes suffering. The Buddha appeared to save those who had to live in such a situation. Let's listen to the Buddha's teachings and walk the path of relying on them in order to make our wishes come true. It is only when you feel this feeling of “being saved” that it changes to peace of mind.

There are many things that have happened to me, and I want you to rely on the Buddha for this life and for the rest of my life. It started to seem like that. Right now, the more painful it is, the more sad and sad, I'm putting my hands together to listen to the Buddha's will. Relying on that wish, “I'll save you.” Aiming to pass away in the Pure Land without repeated suffering, I am praying with gratitude.

I hope you too can find faith you can rely on. I want you to stay alive and feel at ease.
