The Buddhist world of awakening 36. The last part of this series.

Hello everyone. I am a Buddhist living in Tokyo. Tuesday, November 1, 2022. Listen to the final episode of the transliterated Buddhist scripture "The Awakening Buddhist World". This program is a part of the "Teachings of Buddha" published by the Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai in Minato-ku, Tokyo. The name means "Buddhist Missionary Association" in Japanese. They own the copyright of the book. You will have to Buddhist scriptures translated into languages from around the world. Finally, I would like to tell you something. It is not that "faith" in Buddhism means to believe in something. Maybe you think that belief means to cling to something as a certainty.  It is not.  It means that your mind becomes clean and clear. When you awaken to deep wisdom, Buddhists call it faith. Those who have awakened to it see the world correctly and without bias. Then he or she will surely take action to make the world a better place. Buddhists call it practice. When you are fully awakened to it, you will become a Buddha. Please be well aware. Please. How can I awaken to wisdom? That's a tough question. I can't give you an easy answer that if you do A, you will definitely get B. Only swindlers pretending to be religious would say such words. That's the crap the quack-religionists say. I can only give you a little advice. One of them is that it is important to keep "doubt". Any question is fine. It can be a metaphysical question or a familiar problem. Don't obscure it, but work hard at it as an eternal, insoluble enigma. Don't take things for granted. It's important to question why it's taken for granted. You will find that it was the best nourishment for your awakening to wisdom. The second important thing is to meet people who are already enlightened. If possible, you should meet a living person. If you can't do that, someone you meet in a book will do. For example, the Buddha's words that I learned from this podcast. It is meeting those who have already been awakened by voice or writing. They will surely convey deep wisdom to you. I think these two things are the most important things in life. And I realize that it is also the greatest happiness of my life. Please meet good mentors (it means Buddhas and Bodhisattovas.).
