How to not succumb to fear and hesitation when committing suicide?

I plan to commit suicide in six months. I'm not going to change this idea.
I'm tired of hearing advice like “talk to 00” everywhere. They are already receiving medical treatment. So I'm not asking for it.
When I commit suicide, I want to know the Buddhist view of life and death in order to properly end it without being misled by obsession or fear of life.
I'm not asking about the idea of trying to stop suicide.

If you do nembutsu, you can pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise

The Jodo sect explains that for those who wish to pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise by chanting Namu Amida Buddha and Nembutsu, Amida Buddha will pick them up when that person dies, and that they will pass away in the Pure Land of Paradise.
When Amitabha Buddha comes to his death, that person's heart becomes sanmao (state of spiritual unity), the suffering of death disappears, and they can reach their death with a peaceful heart.
The Pure Land of Paradise has an environment where it is easy to understand, and we can always be enlightened (attain Buddhism).
Also, once you understand, your anguish (cause of worry and suffering) will go away, so you will be freed from anguish.
Other than that, various supernatural powers are given in the Pure Land of Paradise due to Amida's power of oath (original power), but these are omitted.

and nembutsu at your favorite tempo.
Nembutsu thinking that one nembutsu here and now might be the last nembutsu at the end of life.
As a result, if the number of nembutsu increases while living, enlightenment in the Pure Land of Paradise will be accelerated due to the merits (ascetic effects) of nembutsu, so be aware that there is no problem with either a short life or a long life.
Also, for example, if you have money or not, you can pass away if you have nembutsu, you can pass away if you die of illness or suicide, if you die of nembutsu, etc.
“Whether it's A or not A, you can pass away if you do nembutsu (so don't worry if you don't mind)”
Let's expand our awareness to this view of life.

Note that nembutsu is a rhythmic exercise for the brain, so if you recite it continuously for a certain amount of time, I think there is a possibility that it will adjust the function of the serotonin nerves and contribute to preventing “depression.”

As a way to realize impermanence, suffering, and selflessness, it is necessary to keep the Five Commandments and practice Samata Meditation and Vipassana Meditation.
Once you have basic knowledge of Buddhism, all that's left is practice.
Actually, Namu Amida Buddha's nembutsu is also a type of samata meditation.

Thank you for your question.
Even when it comes to the Buddhist view of life and death, Buddha talked about various things in his anti-aircraft sermon, and there are various doctrines and interpretations depending on each sect that was born after that, so I don't think it is something that can be determined by deciding on this. So let me tell you some words from Buddha and monks related to the view of life and death that I have remembered.
<From the Buddha's word>
・To “live” is to make some kind of effort. The fact that no effort has been made is called “dead.”
・Is there an afterlife or not? If you practice meditation under me, you'll understand naturally. It is important not to delusional about the future that is yet to come, not to be bound by a past that has already passed away, and to be aware of the present.
・Plants have various shapes, different heights, various flowers, and various environments, and they never compare themselves to other plants, and they are living hard at this moment. Humans should be like that too.
・Everyone values themselves the most. The way to take care of yourself is to take care of the people around you; mercy is not good for people. Good deeds you have done to others revolve around and come back to you.
・If you do good things in this life, this life and the next will be easier. If you do bad things in this life, you will suffer in this life and in the next.
・Winning against a million enemies is not victory. Winning against yourself alone is a victory.
<From the monk's word>
・Buddhism is not about dying easily, but about living comfortably.
・Every human being is sick with 108 afflictions. And Buddha is that doctor.
・The desire to die is also one of the afflictions that every human being has. You can't just suppress the worry of wanting to die. Other worries must also be suppressed at the same time.
・Among worries, the biggest worry is “ignorance.” Ignorance is the inability to properly see what is in front of you due to delusions and memories.
・In order to live a stress-free lifestyle, it is important to focus on what you are doing right now. It's not good to watch TV while watching a smartphone, eat while watching a smartphone, read a book while listening to music, or take a walk while listening to music. When I watch TV, I concentrate on the TV and enjoy it to the fullest; when eating, I enjoy the taste to the fullest; stopping “while” and concentrating is gentle on my mind and body and doesn't accumulate stress.
・It's better to fantasize about helping others rather than imagining that you're going to die.

How to spend half a year

The Buddha did not deny or affirm suicide.
Probably, there were almost no people in India at that time who were struggling with their lives and committed suicide.
As for what will happen to you after death, if you follow the Buddha's teachings, if you have lived a life dedicated to people's happiness until now, you will be able to go to heaven.
Conversely, if you live a life that only bothers people, that won't be the case.
Small things are fine for the remaining six months, so try to do good deeds every day.
If you do that, you will surely notice what true happiness is for people.

“Not being misled by obsession or fear” is extremely difficult in reality

There were plenty of reasons why they made the decision to end themselves six months later.

It is said that they want to know “how to properly end life without being misled by obsession or fear of life” from the Buddhist view of life and death, but in fact, Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, did not clearly explain “the world after death.” Therefore, it is impossible to assert that “this will happen after death,” and as a monk, I myself have a “fear of death.”

In reality, “not being misled by obsession or fear” and “ending it properly” are extremely difficult. This is because in Buddhism, the practice of “letting go of obsession” is not done by death, and it is an ascetic practice that can only be tackled “because we are alive.” Taking your life doesn't mean you can overcome fear.

You have been given a deadline called “six months from now.” Why don't you spend half a year studying Buddhism in depth and facing the true nature of your obsessions and fears? I hope that this period of thinking about life and death while living and looking back at “the preciousness of life” will be meaningful to you.

My physical condition is bad in the morning, and when I'm suffering in the bathroom, a world map is attached to it, and I always feel how small I am in this world. When I died alone, I really don't think this world is anything.
Saying I want to die or that I'm going to die six months later isn't about my body, is it?
The human ego inherits this inherently selfless body and mind. That damn monaiego that works like an impersonation boils sometimes, doesn't it?
That wasn't the case when I was a kid.
But don't be kidding around with bad things! When I think it's not a joke and what I don't think I'm doing overlap, my consciousness runs wild. I think that's probably part of the mentality of self-defense. Everyone is conscious of trying to protect themselves.
However, when I encounter something really horrible and unavoidable in the human world, and something like an allergy escape reaction develops from within without being able to face it, I feel more and more nervous due to a depressive mentality. There was a time like that for me, and there was something I could see when I expressed that unspeakable heart with a high GAIN on rock guitar. It's good if you live honestly.
One thing is that humans only know the small environment in which they were born.
One thing, without being pretty, humans are developing, and no one is perfect. At most, he has been active for 5,60 years. People who have always prioritized God and Buddha have no way to save God or Buddha. A religion called egoism.
One thing, even so, it seemed like the Earth was moving, and even so, the world had nothing to do with my ego and seemed selfless.
One, that selflessness means that 90% of the body's activity is selfless, so it was just a matter of thought that I was going to die or that I was going to do it this way. That ego, lies, and the self-centered idea of a small show mona ego was hurting me. Also, the true nature of that ego is that it was also a kind of mentality of being affectionate with oneself.
And there was a way to destroy that useless ego. Zazen = meditation. When it's destroyed, the judge called me, the judge, the commentator who gets the money and is told to follow the script of the program, and the chatty person in the brain that looks like a guest are eliminated from within the brain studio.
Then, the world became brighter than my selfish dark vision that I had thought until a moment ago. Be sure to try it out.
