Prayer for Love and Mercy

 To summarize all the scriptures, I believe they can be summed up in two theorems: 1. God (Buddha) loves all of us. 2. The God (Buddha) who loves us all is the only one who is omniscient and omnipotent. First, if God (Buddha) does not love us, then we are finished. We would be hopeless. No matter how omniscient and omnipotent God may be, if He does not love us, He has no meaning to us. It is precisely because He loves us that He has meaning to us. Next, second, no matter how much God loves us, if He is not omniscient and omnipotent, then He is meaningless. If God is not omniscient and omnipotent, then we can imagine situations where "even God cannot save this person." And the exception clause "this person is impossible" is always over-interpreted, weakening God's love, leading to "this person, this person, too, cannot be saved," and ultimately to "no one can be saved." "This person is the only one He can't save." When we say thi...

 I said I'd write about Christianity next, but it looks like I'm straying from the story of the sealed scriptures again. Whenever I write a blog, I find myself wondering, "Which way should I go next?" It's like the parallel worlds of quantum mechanics. Each time a particle's position is determined, the world branches off. Now, going back to the original point, I think I mentioned that the scriptures were sealed and haven't been opened in about 15 or 20 years. They're still there, within reach, on the bookshelf on the left. So, what happens then? Of course, "You gradually forget." Right? The contents of the scriptures become increasingly unclear, and the details become vague, like, "I'm sure the Buddha said this," "I'm sure the Bible says this," "I'm sure the Quran says this," or "Ramakrishna said this." And in the end, all that's left is Love and Mercy. In the end, I'm likely to forg...

 I said I'd turn to Christianity next, but I have something to say before that. The quotes from the scriptures and saints on this site are always arbitrary. They don't clearly state the exact source, saying which scripture and which chapter it is from. They just write things like, "I think it said something like this." I intend to continue this style as ever. I think I wrote about this in an earlier post, but it's because I've decided to stop quoting certain passages from the scriptures and praise about them. To be honest, I did a lot of praises by quoting scripture and clearly stating the exact source over 20 years ago. When I looked at the scriptures, I could see the light of mercy and the light of love, and I couldn't help but stick sticky notes on those passages. I ended up with several sticky notes on one page, and my wife even told me I was stupid. There was a time when I would blog about every single one of these. So even now, the scriptures are sti...

 Now that I'm an "online gaming addict," I understand the feelings of game addicts, and by extension, the mental state of addicts in general as if it were my own. That means that humanity has been "addicted to money" for about 3,000 years, and I understand the mental state we've been in today since selling our souls to the devil called money. This ties into what I posted before, and when I think about it, I feel like I want to keep writing about it, and I feel like that's my mission, but I think I was in the middle of writing about the religious path I've taken, so I thought I'd set that aside for a moment. How far did I get? I kept getting sidetracked, and I've forgotten how far I got. I'm sure I first got into Buddhism, was saved by Shinran, and then saw the light of mercy in Nichiren. Anyway, no matter where I read the Buddhist scriptures, I would read "I will save you," and I think I wrote that I couldn't help but see th...

 Even if everyone is ultimately saved, is it God's (Buddha's) willingness to see hell once? Of course, I don't want to see hell either. That's why "God, please don't put your servant through the temptation." I pray every day, but if it's God's will that I see hell, then there's nothing I can do. I wish it would be as mild as possible. But why do I have to see hell? You often see popular clergymen who call themselves "former gang members" or "former bad boys(girls)".  The reason they're so popular is because they understand hell well, having seen it once. If you think about it, how can you save people from hell without knowing it? Surely a "former so-and-so" would understand the feelings of those in hell? In other words, isn't God's reason for letting us see hell once so that we can save those who are in hell later? So, what about me? I was the skinniest in my class, so I wasn't particularly good at ...

 Will all people be saved? Finally, let's ask Ramakrishna (probably Hindu?). Having said that, I forgot to ask Ramakrishna directly. Having gone through Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, and finally arriving at Ramakrishna, it seemed like such a question that it no longer mattered. Finally, the "flood of love" "The universe is in the womb of God." That's what I think he said. Since we are all in God's womb, how could we not be saved? It's unthinkable. We are all in the amniotic fluid of God's love. I think that's enough. If we were to say "all people will be saved," it would be a disaster for religion as a business. It's precisely because they say, "You won't be saved if you continue like this," that they make people anxious, asking, "So what can I do to be saved?" Then they go on to say things like, "We'll exorcise evil spirits," and demand donations, in other words, "Give me money....
