The scriptures are love letters to humanity

 When I read the Buddhist scriptures, I feel like the Buddha is trying to woo me.


It's so persistent that I'm like, "Okay, I get it. You're so persistent. All I have to do is believe, right? I have no choice, so I'll believe in you."


It's like the solicitation of some noisy new religion. Usually, you have to work hard, practice hard, and finally the Buddha will respond, turn to you, God will turn to you, but for some reason, in my case, the relationship is reversed. The Buddha is the one who is desperate, and it comes to me. The Buddha is desperately trying to somehow turn all living beings to him.


The Buddhist scriptures are love letters sent from the Buddha to all living beings.


The holy scriptures are love letters sent from God to humanity.


Buddhist scriptures, holy scriptures, are confessions of love, messages of love, love letters to humanity, desperately trying to convey how much the Buddha ,or God, loves us.


This is true of Buddhist scriptures, the Bible, the Quran, the Hadith, and the Gospel of Ramakrishna.


I can read all the scriptures like this, but you might think it's unfair that the Buddha, or God, is trying to woo me without any effort or training. But at the time, I was completely and completely absorbed in the Buddhist scriptures, so people around me said to me,

“You're studying hard.”

At the time, I felt very uncomfortable and thought, 

"Studying hard?'', 

but it seems that that's what it looked like to them. But I think it's a little different from studying, effort, or asceticism. I think what's more important is 

"concentration. "

I'm sure that when your concentration increases and exceeds a certain threshold, you can enter a trance state. You enter a state of samadhi, so to speak. At that moment, the Buddha or God turns towards you, or in my own words,


"I have seen the light of Mercy!"


"I have seen the light of Love!"


And to enter a trance state, in Zen Buddhism, one enters a trance state by increasing one's concentration through zazen, and in Islamic mysticism, one enters a trance state by dancing around, but in my case, I was able to enter it just by reading the scriptures and concentrating. However, this experience is ultimately subjective, so even if others say "that's not right," there is no way for me to argue.


So, since I can't argue with words, let me sing another hymn.

Do not charge interest

 "You shall not earn interest." This is a famous teaching in the Quran, and it is a powerful blow that nullifies the self-replicating function of money. As I wrote before, "Money is already LIFE because it has the ability to self-replicate." and the basis of that self-replicating function of money is "interest." Humans created "money" to replace barter, making trade and the accumulation of wealth easier. Furthermore, by granting "interest" to money, they gave money itself the ability to self-replicate. They breathed the "life" into money. Money then began to have the will to "increase on its own," and as a means to dominate, it used humans. Once you give money interest, it grows exponentially, just like living things grow exponentially. (Just by looking at the way it grows, you can see that money has "life".) For example, when a cell divides, it doubles. When it divides again, it doubles again. It's 2 t...

The birth of a new life called "money"

 I was at the enemy's headquarters. A place where there is a lot of money. A place where money gathers. A bank. "Traitor!" Indeed. "Are you a spy?" Maybe. Maybe a "double agent." "Why did you join the bank?" Of course, "Because I love money!" When I was in the accounting department, "Mr. X, please give me 200 million by 3 o'clock." "Got it!" I seal 100 10,000 yen($100) bills in a small band, then seal 10 of them in a large band to make 10 million. 10 of those make 100 million, and 20 of those make 200 million. It takes about 30 minutes to make it. I put it in a bag. One person can manage 100 million yen ($1million) , but 200 million yen ($2million) would be difficult unless there are two people. It's money. Money. My beloved money. It's the money I dreamed of and longed for. There's lots of it. There's no end to it. Whether you look to the right, to the left, forward, backward, down, or up, th...

How to win "Money"

 If you borrow money, interest will accrue and it will grow exponentially, so you will soon lose control and be ruined. We have seen the scary power of exponential growth, but is there no way to beat money? Is this already a losing battle? Wait a minute. Why not just not borrow money? Or rather, what would happen if you deposited money? The current interest rate for fixed deposits in US dollars is... 4.1% (Sumitomo Mitsui SBI). 1.041 to the 100th power is... 1.041 to the 100th power is about 55.60. (by ChatGPT) "55.6 times! I did it! I'm rich." You'll be dead in 100 years? Right. That's pointless. Well, if it's 30 years, 1.041 to the 30th power is about 3.34. (by ChatGPT) "3.34 times? That's pretty good. I'm not poor anymore." Did you just win? To money? Our enemy, that almost invincible "money"? Debts grow exponentially, but so do savings, so if we can use the secret of our enemy's strength, the "interest" system, to ...
