What kind of person is “worth living for”?

If you think about reincarnation on the premise, there is a possibility that after death, the next life will become the three evils of hell, hunger, and beast, and even if you are a human, it may be an even worse environment.
Compared to that, I was born as a human being, and now that I can learn Buddhism (techniques to reduce worries and suffering), I am in a relatively blessed state of life.
If you learn and practice Buddhism and accumulate merits (do good things and develop good habits), even if you don't realize it in this world, it will be easier for you to become enlightened in the next life.
In Buddhism, it is thought that if you are enlightened, you can be freed from reincarnation (you can graduate because you are a living thing).
Therefore, in order to be freed quickly, it is worthwhile to accumulate merit now.
Also, in the Jodo sect, etc., Namu Amida Buddha, Namu Amida, Namu Amidabu
It is explained that those who wish to pass away (reincarnate) in the Pure Land of Paradise by saying () nembutsu can be born in the Pure Land of Paradise in the next life.
The Pure Land of Paradise is an environment where it is easy to understand, so passing away in the Pure Land of Paradise for now is a shortcut to stopping living (attaining Buddhism and becoming liberated).
Therefore, in the Jodo sect, the primary purpose of life is to call (say) nembutsu.
Nembutsu only once determines Onsei Gokuraku, but by doing nembutsu from there and doing other good deeds, enlightenment in the Pure Land of Paradise and beyond will be faster.
So at least if people born in a country with Buddhism learn Buddhism, I think it's worth living.
It's worth living in a country where Buddhism exists if you want to be freed from repeated suffering reincarnation.
The smart people around you may also be earthworms in your next life if you don't learn Buddhism.
You can become one of the Bodhisattvas of the Pure Land of Paradise in the next life just by calling (saying) Namu Amida Buddha and Nembutsu.
It's worth living.

In Buddhism, we think of “impermanence” (everything changes moment by moment and does not stay the same for a moment), “suffering” (the existence of life itself is “suffering” = “not going the way you want”), and “selfishness” (everything has no unique element that continues to exist even if it is disconnected from something else).
If you think about it this way, it doesn't mean that individuals have something like a treasure called “value” in the first place, or that they have an asset called “ability” all to themselves.
Therefore, there is no distinction between people who are worth living for and those who aren't.
All life occurs due to different causes, and it simply lives according to each cause and effect.
Therefore, there is no “standard that such a person should not live.”
In Buddhism, thinking and deciding “whether life is worth living” is considered a delusion created by a mind misled by worry.
Buddha taught that if you know the right wisdom and practice it according to it, you can eventually stop delusions and destroy suffering.

I'd like to ask the opposite question.

Like it's worth living

Like it's not there

Who will decide that?

I am

Everyone thinks they are precious.

No two people are alike.

Even if they are twins,

If you have different personalities,

The way of thinking is also different.

Even if they are siblings raised by the same parents,

It's like a different person.

Everyone is different.

First, why don't you acknowledge that?

and

Is it really possible to assign superiority or inferiority to people?

I don't think I can.

I was walking my dog in the park earlier.

People with disabilities

They seemed to be laughing so happily.

Look at that figure,

forthright

“That's good”

I thought so.

They looked happy.

Well then,

Highly educated,

I was able to work,

rich,

A person with a high social status

Will they always be happy?

That's not true, is it?

Conversely,

There were only failures,

clumsier than people,

Even if you can't live the way you want,

There are also people who spend their time smiling every day.

What is the value of living

It is not determined by grades or abilities.

What's more,

Nor is it something you compare yourself to someone else.

In Buddhism,

Everyone thinks that everyone is a precious being with the potential to become a Buddha.

So,

“People who shouldn't be alive”

There is no standard for that.

If there is such a standard,

I've been disqualified a long time ago.

I'm also angry at the boy's habit.

They also complain.

They also fail.

It's immature itself.

But I'm still alive today.

So you can live too.

Please,

“Live because it's worth it”

It's not,

“It's worth it because it's alive”

Please look at it that way.

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now.

People are the hardest on themselves.

That's why

Please be kind to yourself just a little bit.

You just remain you,

That's because they're precious enough.

Gassho

Jōkōji Shaku Yasuaki

The Buddha said.
“Value is not determined by birth (status or talent). It depends on what you did after you were born.”
“Plants and trees come in all sizes (types). It grows in various places. However, plants and trees are not sad about where they are or what kind they are, and they are doing their best to grow flowers and fruit in that place. We humans want to be like plants.”
If other people's abilities were 10 points, your ability might be 5 points. However, it also means that you have a 5-point ability. You don't have to get the same grades as everyone else. Continuing to get 5 points is a 100-point scale for you, and even from the Buddha's point of view.
Once upon a time, the master carpenter said it. “When you hire young people, they are divided into 2 types. A dexterous guy with good memory and a clumsy guy who doesn't remember well. For about 10 years, dexterous guys work faster and are more competent. However, after 20 years, the opposite is true. When dexterous guys reach a certain level, they are satisfied and their arms plateau and they don't grow any further, but clumsy guys grow even more. Do you know why? Clumsy guys take time to work. But that means it's taking that much time. Clumsy guys spend more time dealing with lumber than dexterous guys. I'm going through trial and error to see how to do it well. That difference in effort piled up over a long period of time, and after 10 or 20 years, my good skills were reversed.”
Also, there were various people among the Buddha's disciples.
An apprentice who can quickly understand and put into practice after being taught.
A disciple who forgets no matter how many times he is taught.
But everyone has reached enlightenment. I became a Buddha.
For example, there was an apprentice who was just scolded by his older brother for not being able to remember the Buddha's teachings. However, the Buddha gave me a rag and told me to clean, and when I worked hard every day to clean, I realized the truth and reached enlightenment.
There isn't just one way to reach enlightenment.
There isn't just one way to live in the same way.
You have a way of life that only you can walk through.
I'm rooting for you.

I read it.
You think it's not worth living because you only fail and think there's nothing good about it. I don't know the details about you, but it really conveys your thoughts. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
You think you're a person full of flaws, don't you? It makes me think that I can't fix myself and that it's just getting in the way of a worthless society. There must have been a lot of things up until now that have made you think so. You imagine yourself feeling sorry for your failure. I feel like you can also understand that you think that you have no meaning in living and that you are a worthless person.

I used to think that when I was a student and an office worker. It didn't go well at school, and it wasn't easy to get to school, it wasn't easy to get a job even when I went out into society, it wasn't easy to get a job, and I couldn't say it to anyone who had no friends or lover, so I thought it would be better to die even more because I thought that I was a person with no value at all.

It may be better than before, but I'm still plagued by anxiety and worry, and I'm worried about what to do every day.
But somehow I'm still alive now. It might be more appropriate to say that they are alive or are being kept alive.
Little by little, I think it's okay to live like that.

Buddha, gods, and ancestors never abandon such foolish and trivial things; they always save us. And they guide me in the right direction.
I'm sure the Buddha, gods, and ancestors will kindly watch over you and guide you in a good direction.

I sincerely pray to the Buddha, gods, and ancestors that you can live a healthy life while being gently protected by the Buddha, gods, and ancestors in the life you have been given for the future, and that you will live a healthy life and that you will live the full ten-life you have been given, and that you will be saved. We wholeheartedly agree

You're only looking at your flaws right now.
However, I don't think human value is determined by arranging strengths and weaknesses like a resume.

I also made a big mistake in the past, and there was a time when I thought I was worthless.
At that time, the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred, and I volunteered in the disaster-stricken area.
I scraped out the mud, carried the rubble, and did the best I could.
At that time, while shedding tears from those affected by the disaster
“Thank you”
I was told.

I was saved in that moment.
It wasn't because I had any special abilities.
Not because he was a great person.
I just did what I could at that time, in that place.
Nevertheless, I was able to be useful to someone.
At that time, for the first time, “I can stay here”
I thought so.

Value may not be something you have from the beginning, or something that someone gives you.
I think it's something that is born out of relationships with people and is something you discover yourself.

Surprisingly, life “encounters value because we are alive”
Maybe it's a thing.

It's none other than myself who determines my value and even the value of living. The Buddha even prays that he respects and saves all beings. Even though they have that kind of peace of mind, humans probably want to feel that kind of special “value” for themselves after all.

Even if we care about you or get involved by responding in this way, you yourself see yourself as worthless. I think it's because it's all faults. You feel like it's a hindrance to society.

If that is the case, I think there is a social problem that has made us think so. It's been written on my profile, so it's been difficult to live, hasn't it? I think it's because I can't live the way you paint.

What are you worried about? There are many places in the world where people can think together and people who can snuggle up to them. There are places where you can live in society without putting value on people.
I will post various consultation contacts. Please reach out.
