The word relationship
I recently learned about this site, registered, and am posting for the first time.
I have been attracted to Japanese (oriental) landscapes since I was in my 20s, and became interested in temple buildings, gardens, sculptures, etc., and became interested in Buddhism while visiting temples as a hobby.
Looking at the Q&A so far, the word “edge” often came up in the monk's answers, and speaking of that, I remember that paternal grandparents (deceased) often used the word “relationship.”
I thought it was a Japanese and tasteful word, but is it originally a Buddhist term?
My mother, who had changed a bit, hates the word “edge,” probably because Inuzaru's mother-in-law used it a lot...
“There's no such thing as a relationship! An unattractive, unpopular woman didn't want to acknowledge the fact that she wasn't popular, so she ran away to saying that she had no relationship and fabricated a relationship that didn't exist!” I'm making an unusual assertion~^^;
Relationships aren't just about encounters between men and women, and firstly, saying “I was blessed with a good relationship” as “I caught a good man because of my charm” doesn't make a good impression (wry laugh)
However, such a mother respects temples and monks, so I was wondering if it were a Buddhist term, she wouldn't hate it if I let them know...
