I believe in myself, for that

Ayumi

“Do you believe in yourself” or “your own axis?” in your teens It's amazing to be able to think about things like that.
I feel like I never thought about it when I was a teenager. lol

What am I?

Incidentally, Buddhism seems to say that I don't exist as I think.
It feels like if it were here now.

Therefore, it is very difficult to answer the question, but in order to go beyond the breadth of thought and value one's own axis,

・Know that you definitely don't exist.
・I know that they live under various influences (relationships) even though they don't have a definite existence.
・Live your relationship to the fullest.

I wonder if that's important.
In particular, I think living to the fullest will become a daily activity.

How about it?

　For now, the simple method is, in a nutshell, “cherish people who care about you.” That's it.
Later, since eagles are Zen monks, I will go to a nearby temple for zazen sessions. Please look for it.

What you can see, hear, and experience with your five senses is true, so it's a ❝ sure ❞ appearance for everyone, believe it or not.
It's a definite fact, so there's no such thing as believing or not believing in it.
For example, flies are flying right in front of me, and children are walking around aimlessly.
This is a “sure thing” whether you believe it or not.
If you cause extra personal distractions there, cause your own convenience and view it as a problem, such as oh, annoying flies, loud footsteps, the world will quickly lose its beauty.
The loss of beauty referred to here means that human intervention is involved.
Being alive is simply about making pure use of the five senses.
If you live with only these five senses, you won't have any hesitation.
All human beings, from the ancient Indians to us modern Japanese, add thoughts (thoughts, thoughts, speculations) to it. This is why hesitation and suffering arise. ⇔ Letter
For example, if I just talk about eyes,
When I look at something,
The eye simply “sees and sees.”
Attaching ratings, likes, dislikes, and comments to what you see is a mistake.
I “see (think)” in my head.
Copy and paste “thoughts and images” to what you see.
For example, the consciousness of “ah, I saw it before” or “again... I'm sick of it” is a wrong way of looking at things from a Buddhist perspective. I'm instantly copying and pasting my previous thoughts.
Eyeballs and ears must have experienced it for the first time today. That is how we perceive what should be called orthodoxy, orthodoxy, and positive experience.
What I see as a centerpiece is not private consciousness. I have no likes or dislikes.
Even if there's something I don't want to see, I'll look at the galvanized iron in the centerpiece.
Don't take this for granted. This is the ultimate point in Zen and Buddhism.
❝ Eyes don't like or dislike ❞
❝ Eyes project themselves before they think ❞
❝ Eyes look more honestly than that even if you don't try to be honest with your heart ❞
What I want you to notice here is that the eye is independent of thought, and it continues to project things 24 hours a day. And it means looking at things in a way that doesn't bring in likes and dislikes, good or bad, and things that are done out of mind.
I look at things without bringing in my own thoughts. Listen, talk, spend time.
It's not an idea, so it's probably my own axis.

Ayumi

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

If you can believe in yourself, that means “confidence.” Therefore, I believe that establishing what makes up my identity (for example, goals, work for dreams, what I can do, what I am good at, skills, qualifications, etc.) will eventually lead to “confidence.”

Ayumi probably has goals and dreams too.. In any case, confidence is something that should be used as a condition or cause for that goal, dream, and outcome of a better life and happiness, and it cannot be established without daily devotion. Even in Buddhism, this law of cause and effect is a major premise when thinking about anything.

Also, I was a little concerned about “going beyond the breadth of thought,” but for example, I think it would be good to be able to work as steadily as possible on what you can do in reality as steadily as possible toward the results you have clearly imagined in your own thoughts, and within the same scope of your own thoughts, rather than expecting changes due to sudden events of chance.

Also, regarding confidence, we have answered each of the following questions so far, so please take a look.

Also, for similar questions, we have answered them as follows.

The question “How can I become more confident?”

“... you yourself are inherently not superior or inferior. Superiority or inferiority is simply something that can be judged relatively within various relationships, but it cannot be fixed as an entity. You yourself are just yourself, and you must do your best with what you can and can do in line with reality. ・・”

I think the above is somewhat close to what Mr. Ishibashi Akimichi has already said.

I pray for good deeds.
