In this article, I will talk about
the final theme in this series,
“How to treat a suffering body
with ‘Shou-in Buddha-nature.'”
(Table Above)
No Bright/Bon-nō is “Vacillating Mind”
and “Vacillating Desire.” This “vacillating
Desire” causes Action.
The Action is “karma.” Karma is Action.
The Action gives rise to the
“Body of Suffering.” (Table Below)
Now, let’s apply this process to
a specific example and talk.
For instance, suppose one leader in
a country had an ambitious desire to
“invade other countries and make
them his own territory.”
That desire is a “Vacillating Desire” of
1’s No Bright/Bon-nō.
That “Vacillating Desire” gives rise to
the action of war. That is karma.
That karma is a “wrong action.”
And the karma gives rise to
a “suffering body.”
What is a “Suffering Body”?
It is the large number of casualties among
a country’s citizens caused by the wrong
action of war. That is “Suffering Body.”
The large number of injuries and deaths
among civilians — that is “Suffering Body.”

To prevent “suffering body” (war victims)
from arising, I have talked so far about
how to treat ①No Bright/Bon-nō (vacillating
desire) and ② Karma (wrong action), which
are the causes of a “suffering body.”
In other words, they are treated by the
two kinds of Buddha-nature that I’ve
talked about so far.
That is, “Ryou-in Buddha-nature” cures
No Bright/Bon-nō, while “En-in Buddha-
nature” cures ‘Karma.
However, in reality, even if these two
methods of treatment treated the
“suffering body,” they would not be
enough to completely treat the
“suffering body.”
For instance, let’s say that these two
methods of treatment treated No Bright/
Bon-nō and Karma. Then the ambition of
war leaders to “wage war or invade”
disappears, the war stops, and civilian
casualties cease.
However, the human “suffering body”
continues to occur.
Why is that?
Why does the “suffering body” continue
to occur?
It is because our bodies are inherently
endowed with the “Living, Aging, Disease,
and Death.”
Please wait a moment.
I’m editing it now.
