Existence of “Chū-wu” |
The period between Past and
Present, Present and Future
Question
To summarize what you have
said so far, I understood that the
individual meanings of
“Twelve In-Nen” are as shown in
the Table Below.
What is interesting about this is that
“The length of time from the end of
the Past Life until to moving on to the
Present Life.”
That is, how much time will it take
from the end of the Present life to
the beginning of the next New Future
Life?
In the table above, these are the
times indicated by the Green
Arrows, that is,
“The time of transition from the
2’s Acts to the 3’s Identification
(Time of Conception)” and
“The time of transition from the
10’s Existence to the 11’s Life.”
How long is the “Time of Transition”
at this time?
Answer
The period between the end of
one’s Present Life and the transition
to the Next Life is called “Chū-wu”.
(Above Table)
Chū means “Middle” and wu means
“Existence”.
Therefore, Chū-wu means “Between
existence and existence”.
(Wu in “Chū-wu” is pronounced the
same as the “wo’ ” of Woman.)
Regarding “Chū-wu”, I would like to
clarify that there is no
misunderstanding, but “Chū-wu”
does not mean that there is such
a physical place.
It means as follows:
Basically, human life is always
existing in this universe.
In other words, your life always
exists in this universe with the
universe.
This is called “Hon-nu Jō-ju.”
Hon is “Original,” nu is “Existence,”
Jō is “Always,” and ju is “Live.”
In other words, it means
“Originally existing and always living.”
This is an important word, so please
remember it.
Therefore, since human life is always
present and is inhabited, the words
“Appear” and “Hidden” are used.
In other words, when you were born is
the time you appeared in this world,
and when you died is the time you hid
in this world.
Why are the words “Appear” and
“Hidden” used?
This is because as I said above,
Human Life is always existing in this
world.
“Things that is always existing” are not
expressed as “Occur” or “Extinguish.”
Expressed as “Appear” or “Hidden.”
For example, because the sun is always
present, we say “Appear” or “Hidden.”
We do not say “the sun occurs” or
“extinguishes.”
Human life is the same; it always exists
together with this universe, so the words
“Appear” and “Hidden” are used.
*
The form of Human life existence Is
the same as the the form of
Buddha-nature existence which
I talked about in the previous Article.
The Buddha-nature always exists in
this universe, and is in all phenomena
and all things. Therefore, the terms
“Appear” and “Hidden” are used.
“Chū-wu” is the period until that the
human life ends once in the Present Life
and shifts to the Future Life.
So “Chū-wu” refers the period that
your life is in a “hidden state” after you
died.
*
What we can conclude from the above
is the fact that Human Life, both when
alive and when dead, always exists with
the universe.
That is the meaning of “Hon-nu Jō-ju.”
How long does a Human Life
stay in “Chū-wu”?
Next, I will answer your Question.
The point of your Question was
“How long does it take for Humans to
transition from the Present Life to
the Future Life?”
In other words, it is the length of
time staying in “Chū-wu.”
For normal people cases, they move
on to the Next Future Life within
a short period of time after Death.
A short period of time usually ranges
from a few weeks to a few months
at the most.
However, the length of this period
cannot be clearly defined. Because,
as I will explain later, this varies
depending on the person and the
situation.
*
I just said above that “In normal
cases” though, that means
“Unless there is something serious,”
so there’s no need to worry too
much.
For instance, even if a person dies
unexpectedly in a traffic accident
or in a war, it is safe to assume that
he/she will be born as a normal
person, since the person had always
lived a good and normal life.
However, as I said above, when it
comes to transitioning from your
Present Life to Future Life,
the length of that transition cannot
be clearly defined.
As I will explain later, it varies
depending on the person and the
situation.
Please think that “A few weeks to
a few months” mentioned above is
the average number of days in
a normal case.
Question
The place where people are born
differs by person to person.
Some people are born into
a Blessed Environment, while others
are born into a Bad Environment
from the beginning.
When one finishes his/her Present
Life and move on to next Future Life,
what determines where he/her will
be born in the Next Life?
Answer
Basically, if a person performed
many Good Deeds in their past life,
they will be born into a Good
Environment in their next future life.
On the other hand, if there were
many Bad Deeds in past life,
they would be born into a bad
environment.
It can be said like this.
However, on “The place of Birth
of the Next Future Life,”
the wishes, prayers, and actions of
those around you, has an extremely
strong influence, in addition to your
own actions or intentions.
What this means is that the place
called “Chū-wu” mentioned earlier is
the place where the Will of other
people around you, strongly affect.
*
For instance, suppose one person
had already been decided that his
next life will be born into a
“Painful and Bad Environment,”
due to his “Bad deeds” in his Past
Life.
However, if the people around
that person – for instance, his family
or friends who love him – have
a strong wishes for that person’s
future happiness, that person will
be sometimes born into a Good
Environment. And in that good
environment, that person will receive
a Good Education and cure his bad
habits and vices.
The “Strong Wish for the person”
of the people around him makes
them do this.
*
Or, alternatively, suppose
if a Buddha like you (a person
who practices the Law of Origin),
has always wished with the Law of
Origin, for the future happiness of
your country’s Citizens, and has
acted to make that realize.
Then, by your wishes and actions,
all the citizens of your country
will be born into a Good Environment
after they die.
Suppose, among that citizens,
there are some who individually
do good, some who do a little evil,
and some who do a lot of evil.
However, by your “Strong Desire
and Actions for citizens’s happiness,”
all citizens will be born into
a Good Environment.
And there, those who have done
evil in their past lives will receive
good education, etc. and will cure
their evil tendencies and
inclinations.
This is what you realize and
accomplish by doing Good Deeds
in conjunction with the
“Law of Origin that manages
All Phenomenal World.”
The Law of Origin is thus a law that
has an infinitely strong effect not
only on the visible Phenomenal World,
but also on the invisible lives of
people in the Distant Past, Present,
and Distant Future.
Talk through Some Examples |
The Continuation to the Next
Future Life
Now, when talking about this kind
of thing, I would like to discuss in
detail through some examples.
This is because it’s extremely
difficult to express with words
alone.
The Incident that I will take as an
example here was happened in
a typical Japanese family.
The Family was consisted of
a married couple and their only son,
who was 13 years old.
Father is an ordinary office worker.
Son attended a nearby junior high
school.
His commuting to school is often
on foot, but sometimes, father would
drive him to school while driving to
work.
One day, son said to parents,
“I don’t want to go to school today…”
When father asked, “Why?”,
he did not say the reason.
What son looked like at that time,
had no symptoms of illness, but his
complexion was pale and he looked
lethargic.
So, Father said,
“It’s not good to skip school without
permission. Unless having a special
reason, you should go.”
The conversation between father and
son at that time was ended with that.
Although son seemed reluctant,
he went to school as usual.
And after that day, son never returned
home. At a later date, he was found dead
by suicide in a shed near his home.
After that, father faced the death of
his son and was extremely worried and
saddened.
He was a father who truly loved son
and cared for son very much.
He looked for various causes in his
own way. However, there was nothing
what comes to mind at all.
There was no suicide note, his attitude
at school was very normal, there was no
special reason for him to be bullied.
And it was an incident happened so
suddenly at all.
After that, father becomes making up
his own reasons and blaming himself.
“At that time, I should have driven him
to school. If I had, this wouldn’t have
happened.”
“I should have taken time off company.”
“I should have had more intimate
conversations with him on a regular
basis and cared for his heart.
If I had, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Later, his father said in an interview of
Commercial Broadcasting Media, NHK
as follows:
“The hardest thing for me is that I can’t
know where to bring this
“Empty hole-filled like feeling.”
Every day, my son comes to my mind,
and each time I feel pain and sadness,
and I don’t know where to bring that
feelings. It is a continuation of that.”
*
So far the story is.
Losing a loved one and feeling sadness
and suffering are common to
all countries and ethnic groups.
Now, I would like to apply that to the
“Twelve In-Nen“, which is the law of the
“Law of Origin,” and think about what
happened to his son after that and
where he went.
In his case, he hasn’t done anything
particularly bad in his short life, and
he doesn’t have any serious sins.
So you can think that he will enter
a new mother’s womb in a few weeks
or months, be born in a new place,
and starting a new life.
Therefore, after five years, he is
aliving somewhere as a five-year-
old boy.
After 10 years, he will be a 10-year-
old boy. And at that time, you can
assume that he is doing well in
elementary school.
Also, 20 years later, his son is 20
years old and is studying seriously
at university.
At this time, what becomes important
is the support and wishes of the
surviving family, father, mother, etc.
It is important for his father to see
that his son will grow over time in
his Next Life, and to send him good
fortune and support him each time.
For instance, if his son wanted to
become a doctor when he was alive,
then father should wish for son to be
able to attend a specialized university
to become a doctor.
And it is important that father wishes
for son’s business and goals to be
achieved.
Alternatively, if the deceased son,
daughter, or mother was “good at
languages when she was alive,”
the bereaved families left behind
should wish that they will make use
of those talents, they will go to
language universities and become
excellent interpreters in their Next
Lives.
This is because the talents of this
life are often carried over into the
next life.
“Each time wishing” means that
20 years after his son dies, the figure
of his deceased son must be clearly
visible in father’s eyes. That is, it is
the figure of son attending university
and studying to become a doctor in
his Next Life.
Because that is what his son will
actually be, of 20 years from now.
After 20 years, Son is not in the grave.
(A grave is sufficient as a monument
to preserve memories of the past.)
His son has already started his new
life a few weeks after his Death.
In other words, after 20 years,
his son is living in reality.
Living in somewhere on Earth as
a 20-year-old young man, in the same
Era as his father and mother.
The parents left behind should be
aware of this.
If they know that fact, both the father
and mother who were left behind will
understand “What they should do now.”
If these parents truly care about their
son, they should contribute for the
well-being of those who are currently
alive, and work hard for them.
And it is important to send the
“Good Fortune” that they have gained
through these “Act of Mercy,” to their
son who is now living somewhere as
a 20 year old young man.
**
However, even after 20 years,
his father still recalls the hallucination
of his son who died 20 years ago and
is chasing after that illusion.
And even now, he creates the cause
of son’s Death by himself, continues to
regret and blame himself.
This should not to happen.
Excessive Regret can make a father’s
own life crazy and cause him to fall
into misfortune.
If he continues to be sad forever,
he will not be able to live
an independent and healthy life.
*
As I said earlier, the effect of the
Law of Origin works not only in the
present, but also in the distant
future life.
Also, it works not only to nearby
phenomena, but also to distant
phenomena.
Of course, that power also works
on the son, who is already starting
a new life somewhere far away or
nearby.
Because the Law of Origin is the
law that is managing all phenomena.
Therefore, if you perform the
Act of Mercy and Wisdom with
the “Law of Origin,” that action
becomes En (Trigger), and the
“Power of Law” of the “Law of
Origin” will be exerted.
That power of law will magnify and
deepen the “Good Fortune” you have
gained by your Acts of Mercy and
Wisdom.
And it will become working everywhere.
By that Good Fortune, the deceased son
or relatives will lead their “New Life”
to be happy and prosperity.
Also, they will achieve their own Goals
in their Future Lives by the Good Fortune
you send them.
Whether your deceased relatives will
live happily or not in their Future Lives,
depends entirely on your Current
Actions.
Question
However, whether a person will
become happy or not in his/her next
Future Life will depend on his/her
own Will and Efforts?
Answer
That is also true.
However, the person who died-
for example, if taking the example
of previous Son- even if he starts
his next Future Life, he cannot
immediately engage in Social
Activities.
His first 20 years will be a period
of Education.
At least until he reaches around
the age of 20, he should receive
a Good Education.
That Educational Environment is
not necessarily school, but he needs
to grow up in a Good Environment.
For instance, he needs to grow up
in the presence of good books,
philosophy, and civilization, etc.
Therefore, it can be assumed that
during his growth period, he cannot
live an “Independent Life in the true
sense” or engage in full-fledged
Social Activities.
So who will educate him for the
first 20 years?
That is you.
By your devoting and working for
people’s happiness and social peace
in your Current Life, and sending
them the “Good Fortune” you have
gained there, they (the deceased son
and people) will be able to receive
a Good Education in their Future
Lives.
It is essentially the same as what
I said earlier.
