Dear everyone
You are a great person, a citizen and
a leading actor.
You are the sovereign owner standing
with the future America.
You are also the “Foundation” of the
United States.
Especially I am looking forward to the
growth of young people. I received a
comment that young people are reading
my website and growing, there is no
more pleasure more than that.
Also, it is very happy for me that my site
is useful for the happiness and growth
of many people and achievement of
each job.
Miserable gun shooting incident
In November, it is truly regrettable,
but in California, a miserable gun
shooting incident occurred
(November 7, 2018). I express my
condolences from the bottom of
my heart. From now on, we must
make sure that such incident
never happens again.
I am thinking about American people
like family, so when such an incident
happens, it makes me feel like I lost
my family and I am very sad.
For that, we must abandon all the
plans and strategies of madmen,
bad guys and terrorists. Fortunately,
as seen in the Middle East, terrorism
and terrorist groups are rapidly
weakening, however, in the situation
where the incident like this happens
occasionally, I think that we must
always be careful.
If our good deeds stop, they will
give strength. If our good acts are
active, their power will weaken.
Moreover, in order to eradicate
terrorism, it is necessary to improve
the environment of the whole world.
Specifically, it is necessary to
eliminate poverty, to eliminate war
and conflict, to disseminate and
develop education.
Looking back on this incident, the
criminal of this incident was a
member of a former Marine Corps.
According to analysis, he suffered
from strong post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) from past war
experiences. Experience of excessive
fear and life crisis in war makes it
easier for mental instability, sudden
anger, etc. to occur. It also happens
to see hallucinations. As a result,
it becomes dependent on drugs.
It tells us how the after effects of
war deeply hurt the human spirit.
In the future, we must eliminate
terrorist incidents and gun shooting
cases, but we must eliminate the war
itself which is the root cause of that.
For that purpose, it is urgent to
strengthen and expand the power
of the goodness of citizen to the
utmost.
As I wrote in the previous post,
the Buddha-nature that is in the
phenomenon world, also exists
strictly in the mind of terrorists,
and in the hearts of those who is
planning evil, and also in the space
and phenomena movements
surrounding them. Therefore, if
Buddha-nature wishes, it will move
(reorganize) the phenomena and
events around the evil people,
and stops the actions of those
who plan their wrongs.
Since the essential characteristic
of the law of Buddha-nature is
“mercy,” if we take actions of
goodness that are appropriate
with that characteristic, we can
draw out the “power of mercy
and love” from the Buddha-nature’s
law. And with that power we can
stop the movement of evil forces.
The meaning of Buddha-nature
Buddha-nature means the
“Fundamental law of the universe
and life.” It is also the “Main body of
all the laws that exist in the world”
and is also the “Body of phenomena.”
It is also defined as a “Law governing
the process of generation and
extinction of all phenomena.”
Buddha-nature itself is a Buddhist
term, but what Buddha preached
using this term is such a
“Fundamental law of the general
meaning.” And as mentioned above,
the essential characteristic of
that Buddha-nature is “mercy.”
Therefore, if you emit the ” heart of
mercy (Act ①) on all living existence”
based on the characteristic of that law
“mercy,” power comes from that law.
Therefore emitting mercy is action.
It is the same principle that the wisdom
and action of a scientist works on the laws
of the natural world and the phenomena
world, and draws out the power of nuclear
energy and various energy from those law.
And the power from Buddha-nature’s law
will strengthen and expand your power
of good.(1)
(1) See “The power of the law to
expand the power of citizens’
goodness“, the basic paper of
this site.)
And it protects you and the citizens
altogether.
Also, it will enrich your life.
It also makes your life meaningful.
It also expands your own life.
It also makes yourself shine.
Also, it will make your work go smoothly.
Also, as stated above, it blocks the
movement of evil.
Appropriate words when
emitting mercy heart
I will tell you more concretely about
“how to emit heart of mercy.” In other
words, Act ① mentioned in the basic
paper.
It is quite difficult to vaguely emit mercy
heart to all living existence from a place
without anything. It seems easy to imagine
“All living existence” in mind but there are
times when it is difficult.
Therefore, when practicing this thing,
you would better to emit it by entrusting
to something concrete such as “wishes”
or “prayer.”
The most basic form is the following.
First, you wish for “happiness of all
citizens” and pray. This can be done
relatively easily. Next, by entrusting
to this wish and prayer, you wish in
your mind “I send mercy to all living
existence.”
In this way, when you emit mercy heart
to all living existence, the word
“I send mercy to all living existence” is
concise and appropriate. This is because
it is easy to wish in your heart as a word.
“All living existence” is the meaning of
myriad living existence, so we do not have
an image even if we call their happiness.
So “Send mercy” is OK. All living existence
will receive the mercy you send, in each
way and will use it for happiness in their
respective forms. How to use mercy is
left to them. So “Send mercy” is enough.
This means, for example, that there is
only one kind of rain water falling from
the sky, but the earth’s plants, insects
and animals that receive the rainfall will
be countless types. And how to receive
and use rainwater of each animal and
plant is different. It is the same as that.
Rain water is mercy that you emit, and
various animals and plants are All living
existence.
When the mercy heart that you emit is
consistent with the characteristics of
the law of the Buddha-nature in the
phenomena world, the power of mercy
is magnified and brings such a vast
effect.
Either way, when you send mercy to all
living existence, you will do before you
work, between work, walking, or before
going to bed, etc. So that the words
that you can easily express in your mind
are good.
Three important points when
emitting mercy
Next, here, I will tell you the following
three points as an important point
when emitting mercy heart.
The first is to have an “Image” when
you emit “the mercy heart on all living
existence.” The image is an image like
the “heavy rain falls from the sky, and
it revives the life of countless people,
plants and animals living in the earth”
as I talked above.
Also, “Heavy rain suddenly falls from
the sky of California and a big mountain
fire was quickly disappeared and the
residents will be delighted” is good
as an image.
There is the word “人華 Ningei”.
The meaning is “Human Flower.“
“人” means human, “華” means
Flower. Although it is a beautiful word
in Chinese characters, I think that the
beauty of this word will be maintained
even if translated into English.
Each person has different personality
and way of life, but when they inhale
the rain water of the mercy heart that
you emitted, people start to bloom the
flowers of each personality. This thing
happens in reality in countless millions
of people.
The second is the most important point.
When you emit the mercy heart, please
strongly convince that “This mercy
heart is certainly working for the
happiness of the surrounding people
and countless citizens by matching
with the Buddha-nature’s law
(the law of the origin of the phenomena
world)”. And it is the most important
that you yourself recognize
“That’s what is happening in reality.”
Because, it is actually happening.
However, in what form the mercy heart
that you sent, affects the happiness
of people specifically ー there is a time
when you can see that process and a
time when you can not see.
But whether you can see or not,
it does not change that it actually is
working.
When you are seeing various events
and changes occurring in society in
newspaper and TV news, you suddenly
have time to realize the fact that
“it is working reliably.” Also there are
time when you find it by various
movements, behavior and changes
of people around you.
The important point is that because
of that is working in reality, “fortune”
will be brought later in you. This is
linked in a causal relationship.
In other words, “As much as you make
happiness to other people by sending
mercy to society / people, you yourself
will become happy.” Since the previous
realizes, the later realizes.
And the happiness or the fortune that
you will get later, will come up to the
workplace where you are currently
working or to your life’s place.
If you actually experience the “fortune
brought to you,” you find that the
“mercy heart that you sent first, to all
living existence” is actually acting for
the happiness of countless people in
a wide society.
With the above form, it is important
to carefully observe the process of
causation from the beginning to the
end.
The third is a little realistic story.
Before I said “It is better to entrust to
something concrete, realistically
occurring event, when you send mercy
to all living existence.” Now let’s think
about this as an actual event occurring
in society.
For example, praying for the safety and
security of young people in the US,
and through that prayers and wishes,
you send mercy to all living existence.
The reason is that in today’s America,
unfortunately there is a reality that
more than 10,000 people are being
killed each year by firearms. This year,
more than 12,000 people have already
been killed by firearms, of which about
3,000 were under the age of 18.
However, this data does not include
suicides by firearms estimated to be
22,000 people a year. (According to
CNN’s data)
This is a serious social problem,
a threat to citizens.
So pray for the safety and security
of the young people and citizens of
the United States, and through that,
you emit the “heart of mercy on all
living existence.”
Also, it may be in the following form.
“I pray from the bottom of the heart
that the young people who are
responsible for the future of America
will be able to study safely.”
And through that prayers and wishes,
you emit the mercy on all living
existence. That mercy will be expanded
and strengthened consistent with
the “mercy,” that is the characteristic
of the law of the origin of this world.
And it will be to exert a large power
to reality.
In this way, you yourself protect the
young people of the whole country,
and cultivate the human resources
who will be responsible for future
America.
And make the future of America.
Of course it is important to seek
the effect on the spot, but further,
it is important to emit the mercy
heart on all living existence under
a far-reaching vision.
The mercy heart you emitted will
definitely be planted in the land of
life in America. And they will sprout
and definitely grow to big trees.
Remember the main work of Act ①
of mercy is “To Plant a source of
wealth well.” (Philosophy in menu,
Chapter 1ー6)
Finally, thank you for always having
heartfelt comments. Thank you again.
