霊性とはなにか
霊性(れいせい、れいしょう[1])は、非常にすぐれた性質や超人的な力能をもつ不思議な性質[1]、天賦の聡明さ[2]といった意味の漢語であり、肉体に対する霊[1][注釈 1]の意味でも用いられる。また、英語: spirituality()、ラテン語: spiritualitas の訳語でもあり[3]、スピリチュアリティとも訳され、宗教心のあり方、特にカトリック教会などでの敬虔や信仰などの内実やその伝統を指す[4]。カトリック神学用語としての霊性の起源は5世紀に遡るが[3]、神学用語として積極的に用いられるようになったのは20世紀初めのことである[5]。その後、キリスト教用語の枠を越えて広く宗教用語や一般文化用語として用いられている[3]。
わたくしは、人間は霊的存在だと考えている。
なぜならば、人間が、特殊な生命形態を持っているからである。
特殊な生命形態とはどういうものか?
釈尊の「成仏法」を修行すると、それがよくわかるようになるのであるが、ここは、瞑想によって悟を完成し、仏陀になられた大霊覚者ゴータマ・ブッダ、釈尊の語るところによって、 それを知っていただこう。
中阿含経という釈尊直説の経典で、釈尊はこう語るのである。

(読下しは「国訳一切経」を参照させていただいた)
わたし(釈尊は、つねに努力精進し、その想いは確立してすこしもみだ れず、体は安楽で動揺せず、心は禅定に入って静かである。 そのわたしがあ るとき、瞑想に入ってしだいに禅定が深まってきた。 第一禅定から第二、第 三、第四禅定まで深まるにつれて、心に想い浮かぶなにものもなくなり、喜 びや楽しみだけとなり、そして遂にはそれもなくなって、ただ清浄な想いだ けとなった。
そのとき、わたしの心は、一点のけがれもなく、清く明るく、絶対不動で あった。そしてわたしの心の眼はおのずから前世の光景に向けられていっ た。それは一生だけではなく、二生、三生、十生、二十生、そして無限の生 生きかわり死にかわりした光景が展開してきた。これが第一の智慧で ある。
what is spirituality
Spirituality (reisei, reisho [1]) is a Chinese word meaning such as a mysterious disposition [1] that has a very good nature or superhuman strength, or a natural intelligence [2]. Also used in the sense of spirit[1][note 1]. It is also translated from English: spirituality and Latin: spiritualitas [3], and is also translated as spirituality, which refers to the state of religious mind, especially the reality and tradition of piety and faith in the Catholic Church [3]. Four]. The origin of spirituality as a Catholic theological term dates back to the 5th century[3], but it began to be actively used as a theological term in the early 20th century[5]. Since then, it has been widely used as a religious term and a general cultural term beyond the framework of Christian terminology [3].
I believe that humans are spiritual beings.
This is because humans have a special life form.
What are special life forms?
If you practice Shakyamuni's "Buddha Dharma", you will come to understand it well, but here is the great enlightened person Gautama Buddha, who achieved enlightenment through meditation and became a Buddha, according to the words of Shakyamuni. I want you to know that.
This is what Shakyamuni says in the Chuagami Sutra, a sutra directly written by Shakyamuni.
Middle Agon Sutra "Orange Garden Sutra"
Shojo
I have the determination to write like this, clean and free from pollution and flexibility.
Acquire a sense of steadfastness, wake up to your destiny and wisdom, and write a work. There is a book
As I remember my countless careers, there are so-called lifetimes, two lives, a hundred lives, a thousand lives, a secular life, and so on.
・There are countless successes and failures. Named his sentient beings, he has a long history. to him
Born, surname like this, letters like this, birth like this, eating and drinking like this,
Like this, I received joys and sorrows, lived like this, lived like this, lived like this, lived like this, lived like this, died like this and was born to him, died to him and was born here, I was born and am here, like this. The family name is written like this, and it is born like this, eats and drinks like this, suffers joys and sorrows like this, lives like this for a long time, and lives like this. I made this on the first night
It is said that this is the first attainment of mastery.
Even if Ignorance disappears, wisdom arises
The so-called destiny wisdom has not been achieved. Next, Bonshi and I have this kind of determination.
Acquire the heart, clean and free from impurities, flexible and well-living, acquire a steadfast heart, and the wisdom of life and death.
By learning the arts and making testimony, I can pass through the eyes of the clairvoyant of purity, so that this sentient being
In death and in life, lecherous and lewd, strange and strange, going back and forth between good and bad, all of this people.
Follow the work of life and see the reality, and if this sentient beings are bad [deeds], mouth / bad deeds
If one succeeds in slandering a sage, blaspheming a sage, and accomplishing a wicked act, he will surely end up in a bad place and be reborn in hell. Young sentient beings perform miracles,
If one achieves a miracle, does not slander a sage, and sees the right view and achieves the right view, one will be broken due to this, and after one's life ends, one will surely rise to a good place and rise to the heavens]. This is what I call this second enlightenment in the middle of the night. It flickers and then the light arises, and the so-called wisdom of life and death cannot be proved and attained. Next, I will acquire a heart like Bonshi and I, clean and free from impurities, flexible and well-living, gaining an immovable mind, learning the flow of wisdom and writing, and I will know the truth of this suffering. Know this practice of suffering, know this suffering, know this reality of suffering, know this reality of leakage, know this reality of leakage, know this destruction, know this reality of destruction. To know, to know as I am, to see as I am, to be liberated from greed and ignorance, to be liberated from ignorance and ignorance, to be liberated, in other words, to know liberation, to be exhausted in life, and to stand in the spirit of the gods. To speak to the snake, and to know the truth without receiving existence. This is what I call this 3rd Awakening at that time and at night. There is no flicker and then the light arises, and the so-called leaked wisdom cannot be proved and clarified.
(I referred to "Kokuyaku Issaikyo" for reading down)
I (Shakyamuni) is always striving and diligent, his thoughts are firmly established and not disturbed, his body is comfortable and unshakable, and his mind is calm and tranquil. From the first meditation to the second, third, and fourth meditations, the mind ceased to have any thoughts, only joy and pleasure, and finally it ceased to exist. It was nothing but pure thoughts.
At that time, my heart was pure, bright, and absolutely unmoving. And my mind's eye naturally turned to the scene of my previous life. It was not just one life, but two, three, ten, twenty, and infinite lives, and a scene of life and death unfolded. This is the first wisdom he has.
