Death is horrible

I'm not afraid to die until a little while ago
I don't know what will happen when I die, but I thought it would be fine because people would die at some point, but when I was about to go to sleep just now, I thought that if I slept like this, I might not wake up anymore, and I had a really bad feeling even though I didn't know anything.
I still have a lot of work left to do, and I don't want to die because I want to play with my friends.
I think there are times when I've been busy for the past 2 weeks or so and haven't been able to sleep much, and I'm mentally exhausted because I've been constantly moving, but I'm afraid of the sense of anxiety that springs up somehow.
Since birth, death is natural, and I understand it in words as part of a cycle, but I can't understand it with my heart.
I'm in a position to explain things to people in the future, but I'm struck by anxiety and I don't know what to do.
Sorry for the clumsy sentence
I would be happy if you could consult with me.

All we can do is “live life with care for the present.”

Thank you for your consultation. I was so scared of the sudden anxiety about death. It is said that you have been busy for the past 2 weeks or so, and I think that mental and physical fatigue has made that anxiety even greater.

It is said that they are aiming to become a monk in the future; that is a precious aspiration. I'm worried about whether it's okay for me to become a monk to be attacked by anxiety, but please don't blame yourself. Fear of death is a human instinct, and in fact, even monks have a fear of death. No one really knows what will happen after death.

In Buddhism, there is a term called “birth, old age, illness, death (death).” “Death” is an unavoidable “suffering” that everyone always comes to at least once. People are troubled precisely because it cannot be scientifically proven that “this is what happens after death,” and Buddhist teachings have been the foundation for over 2,500 years.

Because we don't know when death will come, what we can do is simply “live in the present with care.” Honest thoughts of “I have things left to do” and “I want to play with my friends” are the power to live. Please enjoy the “life” right in front of you to the fullest right now. Please warm up first and then relax your body.

You're living well now

I read it.
I read that you felt uneasy and afraid of death. I understand your feelings very well. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
Please don't worry. You are living well now. Even now, you have received many blessings and are living in many relationships.
You have been blessed to have been given your life and your life. And you are always being kindly watched over by Buddha, gods, and ancestors.
It's probably still a long way off, but when you complete the life you've been given, the Buddha or God will always guide you, and your close people and ancestors will kindly welcome you. Also, they are saved from any hesitation, anxiety, and suffering, and they attain Buddhism cleanly without any sorrow.
The relationship between you and all of you will last forever.
Please take care of yourself and the people around you, and live peacefully, peacefully, and cherished every day.
Also, be sure to pray that the Buddha or God will guide you when you complete the tenju you have been given, and ask your ancestors to welcome you as well.

I sincerely pray that you can continue to live your life with peace of mind while being blessed with relationships with many people, that you can have healthy ancestors and live a happy everyday life with everyone, and that the Buddha or God will guide you and that your ancestors will kindly welcome you when you complete your given tenju.

Thank you very much for your consultation.

That's going to be scary.
This is because people who seriously think about “living” and “dying” run into it once.
When I was little, I thought about what it meant to be alive, and there was a time when I was so anxious that I felt that my standing legs were swaying. At that time, as time passed, I completely forgot about it.

Na-san is running all the time right now, right?
I haven't slept, and I'm nervous.
It becomes a “state where I feel too deep” than usual.

However,
What is the “death” that Na-san is watching now
It's not a “real death,” it feels like “death shown by a tired brain.”

First, I think it's necessary to create a situation where you can rest well.
Will it be okay?

Even if you think about it in its current state,
It's easy to end up with all the answers a bit bleak.

But it's not just a bad thing.
Right now, Na-san is doing a self-analysis, isn't it?

“Understanding the mind” and “understanding the mind are different”
I'm starting to know that through experience.
So this experience wasn't for nothing. Rather, it will be an advantage for you.

This is for people who are going to tell people something
It's a very meaningful experience.
Isn't it the Zen word for “stemming characters”?

There are times when words spoken only with knowledge don't reach them.
However, words that have passed through experience remain in people's depths.

However, who you are now
It's not a “state suitable for deep thought.”

The answer that comes up when you're tired
It's not essential, it's “bias,” so
The first thing to do is take a good rest.
Sleep well.

On top of that, when I thought about it again,
I'm sure it will look different from what it is now.

What will happen if I die?

I'm not dead, I don't really understand, but according to the wise monk,
It seems that dying means becoming a Buddha who can save all kinds of people.
I heard it wasn't sad; it was fun.
You too can become a Buddha who can freely save others after death
Please think about it.
That monk wants you to say thank you and thank you for your hard work when he dies.
Having said that, relatives held the monk's funeral.

The Buddha prays for your life in order to take good care of it and save it.

That's right. I'm scared too.
“I still have a lot of work left to do, and I want to play with my friends, so I don't want to die.”
Yes, me too. I have an obsession, so I still want to live in this world. You don't want to be separated from your loved ones, do you?

I don't want to let go. I don't want to break up. I don't want to lose it. There is no shortage of greed for more and more. Also, when you think about the fate of your life, you will not end up dying, and you will wish to be saved. As everyone sees and experiences death from old age sickness, they think about “death.” When I met a Buddha who hoped for the future, I listened to Buddhism. And now Buddhism has been passed down.

Since you're thinking about living, you're probably scared to see death in the future. Precisely because I have an obsession with wanting to live.

There is a limit to life. So I want them to live their lives with care, and why don't we listen to Buddhism in order to know the future? The Buddha is praying for your life in order to take good care of it and save it.

You must have a teacher of faith, right? Why don't we learn from that person too?
