34. world of heavenly beings
When we get married, pass an entrance exam or make money, we feel happy (souls of heavenly beings). But we will fall in the six agonizing worlds by losing the merits. For example, there is a possibility that we’ll get involved in a criminal case due to such money. On the other hand, thanks to merits accumulated through chanting, we can ensure any protections of the guardian kings of heaven as well as the Buddha in the past, present and future lives.
結婚、入学試験の合格、或いは商売が上手く行けば、私達は喜びを感じます(天上界の心)。しかし、その徳がなくなれば、苦しみの多い六道の世界に転落する事になります。例えば、商売で儲けたお金が原因で、事件に巻き込まれる場合もあります。これに対し、口唱信行の功徳により、私達は三世に亘って仏さま、諸天善神の御守護をいただく事が出来ます。
