About Buddhism

You don't know what kind of trigger it will lead to this, right? I'm sure it had something to do with Buddhism.

As for ideas about faith, religion, etc., salvation is explained in religion, there are people who seek it, and it becomes faith. It's also probably a base for life, where people risk their lives.

This Hasunoha is also visited by troubled people.
You're active, aren't you? Did something happen there?
The question is to take a deep look at your own state of being. An important time.

What are you thinking and living?
Please tell me again.

Please first do some research on the four principles of Buddhism (suffering, collection, destruction, and domination).
The Buddha's teachings are full of methods for erasing and controlling worries and suffering by erasing and controlling the causes of worry and suffering.
There are various types of Buddhist ascetic practices, but most of them are the three schools of precepts, precepts, and wisdom (kai/jo/e).
Buddhist practice involves practicing the three sciences with the aim of enlightenment.
Enlightenment (it is also said that there are 4 stages of enlightenment) and affliction gradually decreases, and when complete enlightenment (aro kango) is reached, all affliction (cause of worry and suffering) disappears, so worry and suffering disappear.
Also, it is said that once all of your worries disappear, you can be freed from repeated reincarnations.
Therefore, the idea that enlightenment is wonderful is called “nirvana silence” (nehanjakujo).
Enlightenment is to notice and be convinced of the truth (impermanence, suffering, selfishness), in other words, to gain Buddhist wisdom (wisdom).
Also, mercy (kindness and compassion) is also valued in Buddhism.
Therefore, it can be said that Buddhism is a religion of wisdom and compassion.

What kind of activities are you involved in? That activity triggered them to ask questions to hasunoha, didn't they? Thank you very much. As a monk, I am very happy that younger generations like you are interested in Buddhism and ask questions in this way.

Have you ever heard the phrase “heaven, heaven, supremacy”? This does not mean “I am the only one who is great.” It is a declaration that “every life born in this world is a single, irreplaceable and precious being.” It has been handed down as words from when Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, was born. For those of us who are swayed by the values of superiority and inferiority, profit and loss, right and wrong, and likes and dislikes in our everyday lives, I accept that the Buddha's words are important words that remind us of the original way of life.

Furthermore, when Buddha was a young prince, he met old people, sick people, dying people, and ascetic practitioners who quietly sought paths. From that experience, he said, “Even though I don't want to, I get old, get sick, and die. But is there a meaning of being born or being alive? How should I live this life?” I was confronted with a fundamental question, and chose the path of seeking the true state of affairs. This is a question that you also have deep in your heart, and it can be said that it is a common denominator with the Buddha.

I have a new proposal for you. Read the inquiries sent to hasunoha and the responses of the monks who responded to them. It's about visiting a nearby temple, talking with the chief priest, and participating in events. You will be able to experience “life” and “Buddhism” more realistically. This experience will surely feed you for life. I'm also looking forward to your future growth. Also, please tell us about those times. We are all cheering for Hasunoha.

I read it.
I am very thankful that you wanted to know about Buddhism. What's more, I'm very thankful that AI showed me this site.
I don't know what kind of life you will lead in the future, but I'm sure the teachings of Buddhism will be very meaningful and useful to your life and way of life.

If I were to talk about the teachings of Buddhism in general
What is a very short sutra called “The Seven Butsu Tsu Ryō,” a sutra
Moraakumakusa (Shoakumakusa)
Shuzenbugyō (Shuzenbugyō)
Self-purification (awesome)
It's a really short sutra called Koremori Buddhism (Zeshobukkyo).
What does it mean
Let's not do all the bad things
Let's be willing to do every good thing
Let's clear our own mind
These are the teachings of many Buddhas, the teachings of Buddhism.
It's something like that.
It's so easy to understand, and it's something even small children can understand.
However, it is very difficult to put this into practice in life.
Practicing this kind of thing is a Buddhist teaching and ascetic practice.

Also, there is truth in the teachings of Buddhism, which is the teaching of the Three Treasures.
Various acts are impermanent (shogyomujo)
Everything changes all the time
All laws are selfless (Shohomuga)
All laws and truths have no self, they are not immutable
Nirvana Silence (Nehan Jakujo)
When all hesitation and suffering disappear and you reach a state of enlightenment, you will be in a pure and peaceful state

If you don't mind, please start studying Buddhism from now on. And please use it in your life.
Here are some downloadable reading materials for reference.
It is a book called “Buddhist Scripture” by the Buddhist Missionary Association.

I sincerely pray to the Buddha that you can learn the teachings of Buddhism in the future and live every day from the bottom of your heart. We wholeheartedly agree

Thank you for your question. I am very happy that you, as a young person, have taken an interest in Buddhism and have taken a step forward in this way.

Buddhism is not just about believing and praying about what is invisible to the eye; it is a practical teaching that explains “how to live in peace of mind.” Its main purpose is to “get rid of hardships and pleasures”, in other words, to remove the various suffering we face in our lives and give us true peace (ease).

So how can we stop suffering? What was explained as a specific methodology is “The Four Noble Eightfold Approaches (Taito Hasshodou).” This is a reliable path for logically and correctly determining suffering and its causes, and putting into practice correct actions and ways of thinking without bias in everyday life.

I'm a monk of the Jodo Shinshu sect, and if you're new to Buddhism, I recommend that you first learn about “early Buddhism,” which is close to the origin of Buddha's teachings. The human mind and the logic of things are explained very logically, and you should be able to quickly incorporate them into your modern life and your activities.

There's no need to think too hard. First, read an introductory book, search for words you are interested in, and experience the wisdom of Buddhism at your own pace. I hope this encounter will be a rich one that will support your future life.
