Criteria for receiving responses

Yui

I think it is the monk's wish that your worries and suffering be alleviated even a little bit.

I just want to help reduce the burden on your mind. It's not a competition.

Basically, we answer questions that are right, but after all, we often prioritize unanswered questions over questions that have already been answered.
Are there any questions that somehow keep opening up over and over again, huh? There is also a question about whether such a question was asked. That's the first standard. The second criterion is whether the content can or cannot be answered by oneself in the first place. Even if I want to answer, I often don't know what I can write and my brush doesn't progress. Also, be flexible... I'm anonymous, so I'm wondering if I should be willing to answer to some extent when I should write harsh words. Obviously, they are also trying not to get excited about topics from other denominations.

I think it would be better to have answers from various angles rather than have many of the same answers, so I often dare to write something different from the previous answer monk. If I write the same thing, I'd think it would be ridiculous if people thought “this guy is puzzling at other people's answers” or “I'm making an appeal where I can answer better” (laughs) No, I'm not thinking about that while looking at other responses.
Oh yeah, it's good for regular questioners if the answering monks are familiar with each other, but there are also people who dare to keep a distance because they think it might be difficult for new questioners to get in.
Conversely, if discussions get rough, the audience ratings will grow quite a bit. However, I don't want to fight, so the sense of distance is difficult. Well, since Q&A is a platform, the responding monk is just a guest, and he's not the operator, so it's not something I should worry about... I'm not a sponsoring member and don't provide financial support, so I think it would be nice if I could support Hasunoha in such a place.
There are times when I dare to give the same answer in order to make the questioner feel “everyone thinks so,” so I can't say it unequivocally.

If a thank you is attached and you feel completely refreshed, I hesitate. I'm sorry to have confused you by saying something different. However, creating answers often takes hours, and sometimes days. Naturally, there are times when thank-you notes are posted by mistake during that time. I often post at such times.
I would also be grateful if you could let me smell whether you want more answers or if that's enough in the thank you.

It's just my opinion.

　Hello.

Here at hasunoha, we are currently inundated with questions, so we have set restrictions. The number of respondents has increased, and restrictions are being relaxed little by little, but even so, they only ask about 40 questions a day.

At the monk's place, I can see “how many answers are currently in this question,” so I try to answer questions with 0 answers. There are strengths and weaknesses in the content of the question, so I will answer mainly in my area of expertise. Even if the answers have already been received, I will answer the questions I'm concerned about, but I press “thank you” for the answer that is the same as the monk's opinion written earlier, and I can't write such an answer with my own power, so I will use it as a reference for future answers and puja for parishioners. In response to similar questions, I sometimes add a link saying “There was an answer like this before.”
In that sense, it means they are aware of other monks' answers.

Also, after reading “thank you,” I sometimes include answers when I ask questions where I feel “this still doesn't make sense,” or when I want to include answers from a different point of view than the answers already included.
So, in my case, there are times when I can understand the questioner's feelings by “thank you,” so it's easier to write additional answers if you are in.

Also, I think I'm probably one of the “monks who are concerned about being thankful,” but please think of it as an answer with a strong feeling that “it's bad for the monk who answered it already, but I really want them to listen to answers from my point of view.” There are also answers that I spent time thinking about, so even if an answer or thank you has already been received, it would be a waste, so I will put in the answers. As the monk in the previous answer wrote, this is not out of a competitive spirit, but rather an addition so that all the questioner, including you, feels more at ease.

1. Are you aware of other monks' answers?

◎ If you are unaware
When I first answered and came up with an answer that I was satisfied with in my own way, I wasn't really aware of other answers. In my case, there are few cases where I was able to respond quickly, so I don't think there are many cases like this.

◎ If you are aware
1. I read excellent answers, and I was taught from the answers.
2. There are also differences in sects, and the perspectives and interpretations are quite different.

2. Do you find it difficult to answer questions that have already been thanked for?
◎ Since the answer is different from the other answers, I think the way the questioner takes it will also be different. Therefore, I don't feel that it is difficult to answer. If the answer is exactly the same, I won't answer.

That's it.
