続では初めて世の苦しみを知るエピソードについてです。
その前に今日の重要仏教用語：

四諦 ： 四つの真理　①苦諦（くたい）：人生は苦、生きることは苦しみの連続という真理

②集諦（じったい）：苦が生まれる原因を考え、その原因を明らかするという真理

③滅諦（めったい）：苦しみの原因である煩悩を知り、消滅することで苦しみもなくなる

④道諦（どうたい）：悟りを開くために、修行実践をするという真理（八正道に従って生きる）

八正道：①正しいものの見方　②正しい思索　③正しい言語活動　④正しく生きる ⑤正しく暮らす　⑥正しい努力　⑦正しい理想　⑧正しい精神統一

帰依：仏に信じて教えに従う

釈迦が出家を決意するのに重要な出来事がありました。ある日、王子は「ちょっと外の世界も見てみたいな〜」と思い立ち、お城の四つの門から外出することにします。

まずは東の門から出てみると...

目の前に現れたのは、背中の丸まったおじいちゃんです。👴
「えっ、なにこのシワシワの人…」
そう、それが“老い”です。王子は衝撃。

気を取り直して今度は南の門へ。すると今度は、病人と遭遇。
「マジか…体って、壊れるのか…？」
“病気”という現実にまたショック。🤕

じゃあ気分転換に西の門！って出たら…
目の前にいたのは、まさかの死人。
「えええ!? 死ぬって…人って、最後はこれなの!?」

こうして、老・病・死という人生の苦に直面した王子はそれらは他人ごとではなく、自らの問題として考えられました。人生のこの問題をどうすれば解決できるのを考え出し始めます…

そして、悩んだ王子は２９歳のときに、出家することにします。あまり知られていないかもしれませんが、そのときにはすでに奥さんと子供がいて、出家を決意したため、全てを投げ捨てる必要がありました。それはすごい勇気がいりますね。結婚相手と子供がいない自分さえも考えられません。😵‍💫

王子はカピラ城を出て、苦しみから救われる道を探し始め、ガチの修行生活スタートします。

一人の修行者として、インドの様々な国を修行して歩きます。辿り着いたのはマガタ国という教育と文化の中心地である国で、そこの修行者と交流します。まずは、禅定家から学び、短期間のうちに無執着の境地に到着できるようになります。さすがお釈迦様です！😏

でも…人生の根本的な苦しみは解決できない状態です。

今度は、超ストイックな苦行モード突入！
・ご飯はギリギリまで減らす
・朝から晩まで立ちっぱなし
・寝る時も立ったまま!?
・右手ずっと上げて何年も!?

これ、現代だったら頭がおかしい人にしか見えないかもしれないが、当時のインドでは、苦行すれば超能力が手に入るってマジで信じたらしいです。

でもね、そんな苦行ですら悟りには至らなかったんです。

じゃあ、どうやって悟ったの？　
どうやって「人生の苦しみ」から抜け出したの？

――その答えは、次回です！🫠
