It makes me feel like money doesn't have a heart

Ridaka-sama

My wife also likes making bread and sweets, and she often distributes them to her neighbors and friends.
As a thank you, we also receive side dishes and sweets. But I've never been asked to pay.

In the first place, I've learned that money is a convenient thing called money because it takes time and effort to barter.

If you were asking for money instead of receiving homemade bread, you probably had a light feeling that it would be better to exchange money for homemade bread.

Since compensation is properly accrued in the service industry in a broad sense, I think feelings can be exchanged for money.

I think that makes you feel refreshed.
How about it.

However, if the person who made homemade bread and gave it to “try it” told me to “pay money,” I don't think I would give that person homemade bread again. lol I want to be in a relationship with someone who can share and understand how you feel.

The kid is probably crazy.
Honestly, “Oh, I'm thankful for this person”
I felt it (^-^;) ♪

I don't know what to do to be thankful,
But I want to express my gratitude, and then “I want to pay!” with
Maybe that was what you thought.
Maybe I read too much too deeply.

However, I think so.
“New Year's gift,” “holy spirit ceremony,” and “celebration.”
Each and every one of these we give and receive
I feel a warm heart.
So, things that don't hold money in the heart at all,
I don't think it's possible to say that.

Precisely because I have a strong heart,
Offer “offerings” to temples and shrines and “give up (gladly release)” the money
I also think so.

I don't understand the excitement of my friend who tried to give me an account,
Give me the bread you put all your heart into with your “gratitude” as a friend
If I wrote it, then I would call it a “feeling,”
I think it would be nice if you received it even if you didn't actually get it.

More specifically, “Thank you very much for receiving the bread.”
If you think about it, no matter what words you receive, your heart
It doesn't hurt.

While you're looking for something to appreciate from your partner,
Even if sweets come back, it's a mental illness
That's because it's there.

What I mentioned in the title is “gratitude,” which includes myself
I thought it might be important to feel it.

I pray that your mind will be at ease.
whoa whoa whoa. Gassho

Ridaka-sama.
Nice to meet you, hello.

I went to a wake with a friend I was on good terms with.
I'm a monk, so I burned incense after giving the sutras.

My mom and dad tried to give me an offering.
I didn't receive it.

At a later date, I told that story to a senior monk.
Were you going to give that gift because you wanted it to be used in your daily life?
I wonder if they wanted it to be used for Buddhism?

If you were to receive an offering, how do you think it would be good to use it?
Do you use it to pay for your own food and drink? Do you use it for temple candles and flowers?
Will you receive it on the spot and make it part of the budget to continue sending flowers every year on the anniversary of your death?

A lot of things were said and I thought about it.

It's not that I don't have a heart for money, it's my problem whether I can use it in a way I have a heart.
At that point, I couldn't think of a thoughtful way to spend my money, so I think my choice of not receiving the offering was correct.

I think the most comfortable method in the relationship with my partner changes each time.

Apart from that, money isn't a bad thing.
It's just that, like a fire or a kitchen knife, it can also be used for bad things if you make a mistake in using it. (^<^)
Bank employees and people with lots of money aren't bad people either.
It is an essential and important thing for building a society.
At first, zazen sessions at our temple were free of charge, but my calligraphy teacher said, “I used to do it for free too, but when it was just playful, I wouldn't do it seriously. That's why I decided to take a monthly fee. Then the people who come will try to learn as much as they are paying.” I was told to take membership fees at home as well.
There may be resistance within you, but sometimes it's the other person's feelings, so why not try taking it as compensation.
Both coffee shops and bakeries pay a lot of money.
Even if it's the recipient, they still don't get enough, and they think it's bad to just be alone.
Let's get along well with money. Sometimes today's Japan really has become an age where you can't live without money, that's why everyone knows the importance of money.
Therefore, they have an attitude of paying money wisely, so I think people who pay money are a polite feeling suited to this time of year.
The carpenters who built the temple shouted and said this during the Rakukei.
“You won't lose, but you won't make any money!”
They make things that are more important than money, and they also know the importance of money very well (^<^)
