June 22, 2025, Now I will
move on to the description
of “Disease and Self.” Please
see the end of the article.
As I publish this article, I will
change the spelling of the
following names as follows.
This is because the updated
spelling accurately reflects
the actual pronunciation.
“Ryou-in Buddha-nature”
↓
“Ryow-in Buddha-nature”
“Shou-in Buddha-nature”
↓
“Show-in Buddha-nature”
“Show-in Buddha-nature” is
the foundation for the Wisdom
of “Ryow-in Buddha-nature” and
the Action of “En-in Buddha-nature.”
I will return to the theme of
“Show-in Buddha-nature”.
As mentioned earlier, “Show-in Buddha-
nature” is the main body of Buddha-
nature.
It is also Buddha-nature itself.
What is the role of “Show-in Buddha-
nature”?
It is the foundation for the Wisdom
of “Ryow-in Buddha-nature ” and the
Action of “En-in Buddha-nature”.
Simply using Wisdom and Action may
be able to treat part of the “No Bright/
Bon-nō” and “Karma” that are currently
occurring.
But it will not be able to treat and eliminate
the “countless Habits of Desires (No Bright/
Bon-nō) from distant past lives,” and the
“countless wrong actions (karma) that may
have been committed in past lives and
the sins that have been created by them,”
which have a major influence on them.
As I said before, it just becomes
“water on a hot stone.”
Your wisdom and actions can only be
used to treat and eliminate them
when they are worked on the
foundation of Buddha-nature.
That foundation of Buddha-nature is
“Show-in Buddha-nature“.
And your wisdom that works based
on the foundation of that Buddha-
nature becomes “Ryow-in Buddha-
nature“.
And your actions that work based
on the foundation of that Buddha-
nature become “En-in Buddha-nature“.
The question here is how to treat
the “Suffering body” by “Show-in
Buddha-nature”. (Table Below)
Even if ‘No Bright/Bon-nō’ and
‘Karma’ (1 and 2 in the Table Above)
can be treated by “Ryow-in Buddha-
nature” and “En-in Buddha-nature”,
the “Suffering body” of 3 will arise
as I mentioned above.
The “Suffering body” means the
body of “Aliving, Aging, Disease, and
Death,” and for every human being,
“Aliving, Aging, Disease, and Death”
will arise as long as he or she is alive.
“Aliving, Aging, Disease, and Death”
are “suffering.”
Therefore, “Treating the suffering
body by ‘Show-in Buddha-nature'”
means “Treating the four sufferings
of Aliving, Aging, Disease, and Death.”
This is because all suffering felt by
humans is contained within these
four sufferings.

In order to eliminate the suffering
body, changing your body into the
body of “Constant, Ease, Self, Clean.
When you treat the suffering body,
you change the body of
“Living, Aging, Disease, and Death”
into the body of “Constant, Ease,
Self, Clean.” (Table Below)
“Constant, Ease, Self, Clean” refers to
“A Body that has eliminated suffering.”
The meaning of each is as follows:
Constant is “always, Immutable”,
Ease is “ease, pleasure”,
Self is “self-consciousness”,
Clean is “reset.”
In other words, changing the body
of “Living, Aging, Disease, and Death”
into the body of “Constant, Ease, Self,
Clean” is the treatment method of
the suffering body by “Show-in Buddha-
nature“.
In this case, when you change the
“Living, Aging, Disease, and Death”
body into a “Constant, Ease, Self,
Clean” body, you use the “Living, Aging,
Disease, and Death” body as it is,
and change it into a “Constant, Ease,
Self, Clean” body.
In other words, it does not undergo
a “transformation” process, like
when you transformed ‘No Bright/
Bon-nō’ into the ‘Energy of Goodness’,
or when you transformed Karma into
‘Good Deeds’.
This is the most distinctive feature.
On this point, I will discuss in more
detail later.
*
Next, let’s take a look concretely
at the process of changing
“Living, Aging, Disease, and Death”
to “Constant, Ease, Self, Clean.”
1. The meaning of changing
” Living” to “Constant”
As mentioned above,
“Constant” of “Constant, Ease, Self,
Clean” means “Always, Immutable“.
This means that Life is eternal and
“always present.” Life has past lives,
and future lives as well.
Therefore, from this perspective,
you can use your present life to make
use of “what you have done in your
countless past lives” for your present
happiness.
At the same time, you can use the
course of your present life to build
happiness in your future life.
In other words, it is “The present life that
utilizes all of the past and creates all of
the future.”
That is the Life of “Constant” of
“Constant, Ease, Self, Clean.”
*
In this case, such a view of life is realized
when you merge with Buddha-nature.
This is because Buddha-nature existed
within all past events and stores
all information about the past within
the Buddha-nature.
Therefore, by merging with Buddha-
nature, you will be able to use all of
the past information through Buddha-
nature.
Then, your present life will become
able to make use of all the past.
What does it mean to change your body
of “Living, Aging, Disease, and Death” into
the body of “Constant, Ease, Self, Clean”?
It means that if you merge with Buddha-
nature, such a view of life will be constantly
established, at any time, at anywhere.
That’s why “Living is Constant.”
Question
But why can’t we make use of the past
without Buddha-nature?
Answer
That’s because everyone has forgotten
what they did in their countless past
lives.
Of course, if it’s the past as far as you
can remember, you may use it in the
present. But most people forget about
their lives before they were born.
As I said above, in this respect,
Buddha-nature stores all of the
information about what everyone did
in their past lives within it.
And when you exert the “Wisdom of
Mercy” and act, Buddha-nature will
make it possible for you to use it.
Question
I understand about the past.
But what about future actions?
The future hasn’t come yet.
Strictly speaking, from the perspective
of the present time, the future is
a “Time and World that comes from now.”
For “The future that has not yet come,
can you say that “Buddha nature exists
in there.”?
Answer
Because Buddha-nature has been
present in all the Past and the Present,
it will also be present in the “Future
that will come from now.”
*
However, an even more important
perspective is:
The perspective of “How is the future
created?”
The cause that creates all the futures
lies in your Present Mind and Actions.
Buddha-nature exists in “your present
mind and actions that create all the
futures.” Therefore, Buddha-nature is
managing all the futures through
“your present mind.”
Your present mind is the cause that
creates all the futures.
2. The relationship between
“Aging and Ease”
Aging has experience, and has Wisdom
that comes from experience. These bring
“ease, happiness, and peace of mind” to
your present life.
Therefore, “Aging is Ease.”
This will become even more realized
evidently if you manifest Buddha-
nature.
3. What is the relationship between
“Disease and Self”?
The relationship between
“Disease and Self” may be a little
difficult.
The “Disease” of “Living, Aging,
Disease, Death” and the “Self” of
“Constant, Ease, Self, Clean”
both mean “Self.”
In other words, the former “Disease”
is “The self of disease,” while the latter
“Self” is “The healthy and wholesome
self.”
Self is the awareness of oneself.
It is also the fundamental “viewpoint
and the way of thinking” that you have.
