Practice 03_Laws of Nature


Conversation with Dr. Miho (Laws of Nature)




Miho


Hey, hey Dr. Miho.


There are so many religions in the world!


And there are big differences in their teachings and etiquette, but what is right and what is wrong?






Dr.


Right!


Shinto, Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and many other religions exist.


However, if you only look at the errors of religions, you will end up with self-centered, self-righteous, and excretory beliefs.


Therefore, there is no such thing as right and wrong.






Miho


Really? There is no right or wrong!


But the saints like Buddha, Jesus Christ, and Mahomet are great people, aren't they?


Because they are the ones who spread them to the world.






Dr.


Right, right! They are great people!


But even if Buddha and Jesus were not born in this world


, the truths taught in Buddhism and Christianity


have been working in the universe since time immemorial.


They just realized it! But it takes a lot of work to realize this.






Miho


I see!


Maybe I can be like Jesus and Mahomet if I realize it. ・・・・・






Dr.


I can't be!






Miho


What? Earlier, Doctor, you said that if you understand the truth, you can become...






Dr.


Miho, do you understand the truth and are you saying that?


The truth is that "all living things, including human beings, are alive!


Humans are not the only living things on this earth.


Animals and nature are alive too.


What would happen if there were no more animals and nature?






Miho


What? If there were no more trees, we would die from lack of oxygen, if there were no more mountains, there would be a shortage of water, and if there were no more


animals, we would not be able to eat milk and eggs, and we would be undernourished.


We would not be able to live!






Dr.


Yes, that's right! We are kept alive by the blessings of Mother Nature.


That is why we must live our lives in accordance with the laws of the universe and nature.


This is called the law of nature.



For more information:


It is not an “invention” of mine. It is an expression of the human way of life in accordance with the laws of the universe and nature. If you look up at the sky, you will see that there are no boundaries anywhere. In this spacious world with no boundaries, all living things, including human beings, are kept alive by the natural world. This vast and boundless world of life is called the law of nature.




There are many religions in the world, including Shintoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. These religions are based on the teachings of Buddha, Jesus Christ, Mahomet, and other saints who mastered the “infinite world of life without boundaries,” and who taught the human way of life in accordance with the truth of the universe in a language that suited the people living there, based on the national characteristics and local traditions of their time.




However, many people may be disgusted by the word “religion,” don't you think?




Isn't it a vicious business? Isn't it a criminal business? Will they be brainwashed? I am sure that many people are thinking about these things.




If we look at other countries, we find that religions are causing terrorism and wars between different religions.




However, I do not believe that all religions are to blame.




I believe that by deeply investigating the root of this contradiction, we can find the path to true peace.




In fact, there is a basis. There is a model that looks deeply into the root of the contradiction of religion. It is the Japanese of old. It is a simple and traditional form of faith that has been held since ancient times.




In Japan, most houses have always had both a kamidana and a butsudan (Buddhist altar). It has been a common practice to clap hands to the gods, and to join hands with the principal image and ancestors enshrined in the Buddhist altar.




This kind of belief is still strongly reflected in Japan today as an annual event. At New Year's, most Japanese people make a Hatsu-mou (New Year's visit) to the nearest Ujigami (guardian deity). When a child is born, people pay a visit to the shrine, and celebrate the 75th and 75th birthdays by eating Chitoseame (a candy made at the age of seven and a half). Funerals and Buddhist memorial services are held in the Buddhist tradition, and it can be said that Shintoism and Buddhism have always coexisted in a very natural way in the lives of Japanese people. Therefore, it is not easy to say that religion itself is bad.




To sum up, it is important not to assume that “this teaching is absolute,” but to see the boundless world beyond it through the teachings with which we have come into contact.
