The other day, my deceased mother appeared in my dream… It seemed like I came to a difficult place. I thought I was going to paradise, but I ended up in a different place and now I have to train, so I can’t contact you anymore, I’m sorry, Mom. She looks so young, huh? Yeah, Mom, mumble mumble. After that, there has been no contact at all. My mother said she is in the Tutsu’s Nine, but I wonder what that means. Tutsu’s Nine is the pure land of Maitreya Bodhisattva. It is the place where Bodhisattvas train to aim for Buddhahood. The inner court of Tusita Heaven!
They say “the three thousand worlds,” but…
They arrange things like that without informing the person well…
>>2
It’s like being an employee of the afterlife company.
>>2
Once you receive your posthumous name, it’s like signing a contract, so you can’t complain about any personnel decisions made.
>>11
What an amazing ordination name you were given!
I wonder how difficult training in the heavenly realm is…
It looks like a painting by Kichiichi Eikubo.
Mom had a high virtue, didn’t she?
It seems that there are also those who train to become gods in a shrine.
What is this manga…
Isn’t training extremely tough to the point of feeling like dying?
Does that mean that death is not a reason to quit working…?
Nine of Command
Does this also qualify as liberation?
Could it be that the concept of reincarnation in another world has existed since before Christ!?
>>15
It’s the original source, right…?
>>15
The fact that the cycle of reincarnation does not only lead to the present world is from the original texts.
>>15
It is the official setting of Buddhism that Buddhas can warp to another world.
Therefore, it is rather correct that there are Buddhist terms in another world.
>>15
Most myths have stories about the afterlife and adventures.
In other words, is Mom already at the Bodhisattva level?
I hope I won’t be busy even after death.
Isn’t it pretty tough to have consciousness even after death and still be able to communicate with people and have something resembling society?
It’s just like this world… there’s no escape…
>>18
When you die, the training phase that lasts for 49 days begins first…
Training for a billion years without that determination or intention is tough…
The afterlife is a bondage.
To avoid eternal suffering after death, one tries to bind their actions in this world.
>>21
So you’re training to be freed from reincarnation, huh?
The Buddha is liberated from the cycle of reincarnation.
Therefore, both living and being reborn are nothing but suffering, which is why one seeks enlightenment and liberation.
I don’t like the Buddhist world because it casually surpasses billions and trillions of years.
>>24
If we let inflation rise to this extent, we won’t ever be lacking in the future, right?
I thought that, and then astronomy is catching up and surpassing at an incredible pace; the universe is truly amazing.
>>78
The current predictions for the end of the universe are around 10 thousand trillion years from now, right?
It seems that the origin of “Ichiren-takushō” is to meet again in the same lotus flower (world) even after being reborn.
There is a different world for each lotus flower.
It seems there are types in the world who enjoy the path of the wicked, and there might also be workaholics who find it acceptable to be used as cattle and horses in the path of beasts.
Reincarnation in another world varies for each person.
No matter how much one becomes a being that surpasses others, even the Buddha is still trapped in the cycle of reincarnation…
>>28
To attain liberation…
I guess it’s not good since I’m already bound by that way of thinking.
Aren’t you happy to see your dead mom again, no matter what?
Does that mean it’s about 5.6 billion years of practice until Maitreya?
In the first place, the world is a Buddhist term…
It’s a relatively rock-like religion that encourages you to try to become something other than a person.
It seems like she lived a normal life during her lifetime, but how much of a saint was my mom?
Paradise is not the goal, it’s just a bonus stage…
Combining this world and the afterlife into one world, gathering a thousand of them to create a small world.
A thousand small worlds come together to create a middle world.
A thousand middle worlds gather to create a great world.
One billion other worlds are being guided by a single Buddha, so there are one billion times the number of Buddhas in other worlds.
Well, I guess I could create a different world or something…
The concept of reincarnation itself is fundamentally a pure Buddhist term.
In that sense, it’s not a benefit or a blessing; rather, it’s a one-more hard labor course of unprocessed karma penalties…
>>39
If you accumulated virtue in your past life, you will receive skill bonuses and birth bonuses.
So, it’s a roguelike that asks you to overcome further suffering in life.
>>41
The concept of afterlife in Buddhism has not been perceived very positively.
Hearing you say that really motivates me.
But this might be a sensibility better suited for Valhalla.
Well, it should be fine to go greet your son… He’s not the kind of person who would cling on with lingering attachments.
Like that
Mom must have accumulated quite a bit of virtue if she’s been reborn as a deity.
>>43
It is a training place that all believers go to.
I will strive while being watched over by the bodhisattvas until I become a Buddha in the Pure Land.
Therefore, after death, it is certain that one will eventually become a Buddha, which is why it is called “being at peace.”
I consider myself a good person to the extent that I think I can reach paradise through self-analysis.
Well, I’ve been taken to a place that feels like heaven.
It felt like paradise, but it turned out to be a training ground.
>>45
What is this place?
Politics, religion, ethnicity
What is this?
For example, the Pure Land is a wonderful place where you don’t get hungry, tired, or sleepy.
So it will be a life of training all day, every day.
In the Pure Land, there is no need for laundry as nothing gets dirty, and both the body remains healthy, while birds and plants chant the Dharma, allowing for training under the Buddha.
Mom is too strong of a character to just settle for this without asking for help.
Mom looked a little dissatisfied, and it wasn’t good.
Indeed, it seems tough to live a busy life in this world and then realize that after it’s over, it turns into an incredibly long training in the afterlife.
Can you eat delicious food?
>>56
Is it an obsession with food?
>>61
Because I’m alive.
>>56
The moment I think to myself, “I want to eat,” a feast presented on a luxurious plate appears right in front of me.
There are also cases where people say, “If you’re interested in that, how about it?” and then they end up just enjoying the scent and calling it a day.
>>65
Let’s properly eat what has been served!
If you’re a nihilist and an atheist, then your peace of mind is guaranteed!
Buddhism is a religion like that, so it can’t be helped.
I hate the thought of being black even after death.
I heard that even if you go to heaven, if you don’t live seriously, you’ll end up in hell, and that kind of deflated me.
>>60
If you’re living a trashy life no matter where you go, your evaluation will drop.
>>60
The heavenly path (the world of the gods) cannot be saved by such means, so Buddhism teaches that one should aspire to become a higher-level Buddha.
I wonder what exactly I’m going to be made to do.
I wonder if they make drafts of the estimate.
>>63
Since computers lack sincerity, let’s use a pen.
Modern people tend to misunderstand, but…
The realm of hell is not a place where people go after death to become ghosts or souls.
It’s a world where a dead person is reincarnated and has to suffer physical punishment according to their sins from a past life, and even if they die, they can be instantly respawned.
I want a post-death existence that feels like an endless feast of virgins.
>>68
Welcome to the hell of being continued to be consumed as a virgin.
>>68
I have to go to Valhalla.
Dying bravely in battle is the minimum requirement, but…
>>76
If you’re a warrior, you can generally fill that role, so should you just become a soldier in some conflict zone?
>>68
In Zoroastrianism, after death, I can have unlimited sex with my 15-year-old TS self with big breasts!
Well, the beautification of my own consciousness as a beautiful girl is a bit…
It means that my virtue is strange and too low.
>>71
Ugh… what is this guy’s virtue…! It’s got a spinning wheel at 11,000 RPM!
That’s amazing, Mom!
Mom might be amazing, but she looks very dissatisfied…
>>74
I think what I’m dissatisfied with is not being able to contact my son.
She looks like a saint, but her way of speaking is so frank that it makes me laugh.
>>77
Huh? Did I do something again?
That’s something my mom would probably say.
It’s also an obsession to feel regret about not being able to contact my son.
As your training progresses, you will be able to let go of such emotions.
>>81
“I’m saying clearly that I can’t do it anymore, so I’m ready to let go, Mom.”
Buddhism ultimately teaches that one should not be attached to family, right?
>>82
Ai is like a conflict, isn’t it?
>>82
Are you treating your own son as if he has a disability?
In the world of Buddhism, a little cheat skill won’t be of any use at all.
I understand because I read “Space Prince.”
I think it’s more convenient if there is no afterlife.
>>85
Therefore, I aim for liberation.
If you attain liberation, there is no afterlife.
>>85
Once that is confirmed, the restraints of morality imposed by religion will be removed.
I think humanity will further become a win-or-lose situation.
>>90
Rather, I think a soul that only refrains from doing bad things out of fear of punishment is impure.
>>90
Is the current situation not like that anymore?
Religion itself is a system that imposes restrictions on followers to allow those in power to do as they please and take everything from them…
Are you struggling even after your mother has died…?
What’s most terrifying in hell is heaven, as Shaka said.
My mother said she is in the Imoge of Nijihira.
>>93
I’m sorry, but your mother has fallen into hell.
There probably aren’t many people at the level of starting training, and most will end up living in the path of beasts at best.
>>94
If you chant “Namu Amida Butsu” with all your heart, Amitabha will save you.
You saved me from the cycle of rebirth and took me to the Pure Land, and you will train me until I become a great Buddha.
The Pure Land is full of good people, but…
There is a place in paradise that accommodates beings like nameless ones.
To have reached the Buddhist path by stepping outside of the cycle of reincarnation.
It should have a level of virtue power that even 10,000 anonymous people cannot match.
I want to return to nature after I die.
I’m here to complain…
My mother was probably fine with things like enlightenment or liberation, and as long as there was modest happiness, she would have been satisfied.
It is precisely such people who are deserving of salvation, so they are taken to the Pure Land.
Bodhisattva has a big breast category.
The Buddha has an image of being flat-chested.
The intellectual class recognized the Pure Land as a place of practice.
Fujiwara no Michinaga is said to train in the Pure Land in the next life and to receive teachings when Miroku Bodhisattva descends, completing his training and achieving Buddhahood in the lives to come.
I had made incredibly grand plans for the afterlife.
What a manga it is.
It’s still okay because it’s being serialized in a low-profile magazine.
I absolutely hate a world that is accepted by the general public.
The Heaven of Tuṣita is a heavenly realm, so it is indeed a step up from the human realm.
Even the Buddha is beneath the Tathagata and Bodhisattva.
The Pure Land doesn’t look like a fun world at all.
Why do people in the past dream of liberation?
>>115
Whether or not paradise appears as paradise is beside the point; paradise is a preparatory school for those who cannot achieve liberation.
