"What is a curse?"
(Last Update: )
"When we hear 'curse', we often imagine 'sticking a five-inch nail into a straw doll...', but in reality, the thoughts of curses are flying around even in our close environments like workplaces and homes.
First, let's learn the basic knowledge about 'curses'.
"A curse is the desire for someone else's misfortune."
Feelings of envy and jealousy towards others, as well as feelings of disgust and resentment, become 'curses' that influence the other person.
When a strong curse transforms into a 'living spirit' and possesses the other person, it can cause various disturbances such as mental and physical illnesses, accidents, sleep paralysis, and spiritual phenomena like knocking sounds.
Cursing others brings misfortune upon oneself.
When you curse others, you attract 'evil spirits' that harbor similar feelings of resentment.
Being possessed by evil spirits amplifies negative emotions like resentment and jealousy, and if you continue to live with a negative mindset, you will fall into hell after death, so it is important to learn how to properly govern your heart while you are alive.
A curse is the thought of wanting to make the other person unhappy.
By causing misfortune, you are actually trying to achieve some form of self-realization.
(経典『「呪い返し」の戦い方』より)
Cursed!? Cursed!? My 'curse' experiences.
Curses emitted from human thoughts.
It seems that many people unknowingly curse someone or attract curses.
So, let me introduce some true stories related to curses.
[Experience 1] After reflecting on my 'negative thoughts' towards my cohabiting in-laws, an unexplained illness was cured! (K.M., Female, Housewife in her 60s)

When I started living with my in-laws due to my husband's job transfer.
I felt stressed every day because I often disagreed with my in-laws about household chores and personal life.
Around that time, for some reason, I started experiencing severe pain in my legs, making daily life difficult.
Even after going to the hospital, the cause was unknown, and painkillers were ineffective.
One day, I happened to look at my leg and saw a 'snake spirit' wrapped around my knee for just a moment.
I was surprised, but I understood that 'the snake spirit is possessing my negative thoughts of rejecting my in-laws, causing the pain in my legs.'
So, I opened the teachings of Ryuho Okawa and reflected on my heart in light of the teachings, making an effort every day to suppress my negative feelings towards my in-laws.
As a result, I began to see the kindness and strengths of my in-laws, which I had only seen as flaws before, and I found more things to be grateful for.
As my heart changed, the pain in my legs gradually subsided, and within a month, it was completely healed.
[Experience 2] The 'jealousy curse' from my colleagues was lifted through the practice of the Eightfold Path! (R.M., Male, Public Servant in his 60s)

When I was recognized for my achievements at work and received an award for the umpteenth time, I was envied by a group of colleagues, and whenever we met, they would harass me or speak abusively.
While enduring their harassment and waves of resentment, I began to experience arrhythmia and eventually developed constant heart pain.
At that time, I participated in the 'Eightfold Path Training' at Happy Science's temple and realized that I had a 'Tengu mentality' boasting about my achievements, and that my arrogance was hurting my colleagues' pride.
From then on, I changed my words and attitude, making an effort to consider the feelings of others.
As a result, the harassment from my colleagues stopped, and the pain in my heart disappeared, bringing me relief.
[Experience 3] Through a prayer, I was made aware that I was cursing my husband. (R.I., Female, Educator in her 50s)

Since my husband could not go to work due to pain in his legs and back, I received a 'Living Spirit Reversal and Illness Thought Repulsion Prayer'.
Although my husband's pain eased, my legs and back began to hurt severely.
Since the symptoms appeared immediately after the prayer, I thought, 'Could it be that I have a problem?', and I recalled that after my husband retired, we spent more time together at home, and I had started to feel resentful towards him.
'This 'curse' is hurting my husband and has bounced back to me through the prayer,' I realized and vowed to transform myself from the heart.
Reflecting on our dating days and striving for marital harmony, my leg pain was completely cured in two months.
My husband also regained his health and was able to find a new job.
To become a 'transparent heart' that does not curse or get cursed.
Illnesses, accidents, failures at work...
The causes of such troubles may be influenced by negative emotions in human relationships that manifest as curses.
To avoid cursing someone or being cursed by someone, here are two important points.
(1) Learn the truth of Buddhism.
Curses often arise in connection with desires for love, money, and self-realization, and it is said that those who emit curses tend to be persistent types or those who blame others or their environment for their problems.
To prevent the occurrence of such curses, it is important to learn the correct way of living from the truth of Buddhism as taught by Ryuho Okawa , suppress unreasonable desires, and develop rational judgment.
