Whether you feel happy or not depends on "A view of life and death (view of religion)".(幸福を決定づけるのは死生観。)

日本語版:「幸せってなんだっけ?

What is happiness? What? a state of mind.
How can I be happy? That said,
Anyone can think of momentary happiness.
If money and time were limitless. You eat, drink, have sex with someone you like, spend money on a trip, buy a car, land, or house, become a president or owner, buy stock certificates, earn money through shareholder dividends, and then move to a southern island to live in peace.

That is the basic form.
You may enter from the shape. From there, what is Amida? What is Buddhism? What is Jodo Shinshu? and
You can deepen your interest and knowledge little by little.
And as you learn to appreciate,
After that, you and your surroundings slowly become brighter.
As if the sun were rising.

In doing so,
and say, "Death is like the molting of a cicada."
so that the matter of death is lightly accepted.
I believe that the Jodo Shinshu Sect can point to this in one way: to live a happy life by learning from both Amida and his nenbutsu buddha, looking forward to one day.
