A quote that a monk thought up in 10 seconds
I want to hear quotes from monks that really pierce my heart. By all means, I would like to use that quote in various situations.
Please tell me some moving quotes that only a monk can say.

How far away
At the funeral, a young person asked me, “Monks are people close to the Buddha, aren't they?”
There may have also been a slightly lighter, slightly deceitful nuance.
I took those words and...
“No... I think it's the monks who know how far they are from the Buddha.”
The young man who asked was “Huh!?” It had a face like that.
I don't know if it's a quote or not, but I'm posting it because my opponent was surprised.
Was it chosen or was it chosen
In Buddhism, we look at the world from the perspective of “relationships.”
what does that mean? When I say...
When something good happened. When something bad happens.
When you win the lottery. When I stumbled and fell.
“Think about whether it was something you chose or were chosen.” I think it's okay to say that.
When people say, “No, this kind of thing happened,” I think “it can be used.”
“Seriously? Well, maybe that's not what you wanted. I wonder if you chose... or was it chosen by something...”
“(Gushaha)”
Are “I like you” and “I like what you cherish” different
I love you.
I love the things you care about, too.
It's a very difficult word to balance, so I'd be happy if you put it out properly and put it into words.
I've heard that Buddhism is not a teachings that get drunk on words, but rather a teaching about waking up.
I'm reminded not only that I was moved the moment I heard the words, but that I also came across words that I could use as my motto for a long time.
Who are the angels?
It doesn't go with 10 seconds, but...
“Everything is in the hands of the Buddha”? It's a famous scene from Son Goku.
