Who is a violent chief priest.

On the news, I saw a story about a temple that takes a fee to take care of truant or withdrawn children called ascetic practices. I don't know the details, but even though it was called ascetic practice, it didn't mean that the chief priest himself dealt with them, and it seems that they were also made to help privately, such as organizing receipts.

What shocked me more than anything was that they were using violence. Some children have poor hearing due to knocking on futons or drumming drums, and they have bruises all over their bodies. It seems that the food was also out of date and unsanitary.

They tried to run away from the temple in the mountains, so they couldn't ask for help, and when they found them, they were violent again, so it seems that they couldn't escape that fear. The child counseling center began an inspection after the report, and the children were finally protected.

There are many parents and children who suffer from truancy. I am one of them. If it were a temple, wouldn't it be a way of salvation? They probably went through the gate with such a feeling of being so stubborn. However, in reality, violence rather than training seems like an act that tramples on the thoughts of parents and children too much.

It's sad. Even though children are just worried, suffering, and struggling. How great was the shock of being treated like that?

I want to ask the temple for salvation.
I want to have the strength to recover even a little bit.
It was too sad news for parents and children who have such desperate feelings.

Of course, I don't think there are many temples like that. Among them, I think there are temples that have really become places of salvation.

What do the chief priests of Hasunoha think of this news?

I wonder if he really is a monk. There are fake ones too.

that's a terrible story... this is a crime... that's impossible.

Monks are humans too, so they're not perfect, but they're always thinking and worrying. That's why they try to be close to people's feelings. While grieving, rejoicing, and supporting each other. Don't let that push you or make you feel alone. (There are many types of people, so I think they are compatible.)

I wonder if he really is a monk. There are fake ones too.
If you order a garment at a costume shop, you'll look like a monk. If proven to be a religious corporation, it becomes a temple. But there are also suspicious temples. You will definitely be saved! I don't want to be fooled by claims like this.
It would be nice if I could properly look at people and have a relationship with the temple.

It's my impression.

 It is said that drowning people also grab straw, and I wonder if that was the case for both of them.
In other words, I wonder if that “chief priest” also drowned. I don't know if I thought, “If I were to collect money for this kind of thing, they wouldn't complain”... but I wonder if they were stuck in something and drowned. If that happens to me, I'll leave the temple.
That's my impression.

I can't let go of my worries!

There are endless amounts of invisible violence in this world!
I was able to see only a small part of it, but since it's a person named a monk, it's easy to become a topic of conversation in the mass media, but as far as I can see it on TV, it's not an acceptable act.
The problem here is not only monks, but we must not forget that there are guardians who leave their underage children without careful investigation.
Will refusal to attend school be cured due to violence! I also understand the feeling that it's because you don't become a child the way you want, but you should learn the fear of leaving it to someone like that and asking for help.

Incidents like this happen over and over again, and they won't go away no matter when in the world.
As long as there are violent wars and various afflictions of jealousy, resentment, likes and dislikes in this world, battles will be repeated over and over again. Also, each person must be aware so as not to go any further.
Our colleagues, who must let go of their worries, should not act like this. I also have a feeling that I must take it as my own commandment. It seems like you can hear the words “look at people and turn around yourself.”

I watched the video

this is terrible.
I wonder what Bon-san is like as a human being.

I'm hitting an opponent who doesn't resist anything.
It's limited to people like this, and it's perfect for a scary older brother, isn't it?
I'm telling you sad news where defenseless citizens and children have been sacrificed in the war, but...
This bonsan is doing the same thing.

Obo-san from the 00 Temple...
Let's stop hitting people who don't resist anything. What is blackmailing?
I haven't been angry in a long time.

Miscellaneous Feelings -Dignity of a Monk-

Nice to meet you, my name is Fujinami Renou from the Jodo Shinshu sect.
However, it is unbearable when I think about the young people who stayed at the temple where the chief priest stayed, and were traumatized. And it must have finally raised distrust of religion.
The denomination to which this chief priest belongs is very different from the sect we belong to, and it is a sect whose purpose is to clear strict training and step up. When thinking like that, the chief priest had his own training experience, and did they think this level of severity was acceptable? If so, I can't help but think that's extremely foolish.

Now, when I read Fu-san's question, what I continued to feel was the dignity and dignity of a monk. In other words, it can also be called education. I believe that education is not something that can be obtained through educational background. Along with the environment you've lived in, it's probably cultivated through encounters with “good people.” Nowadays, monks have moved away from images that are far from the secular world and are hard to stick to, and have become closer to the world in general. Also, if you look around today's monks, you can often see monks who misunderstand because they want to be loved by the public. This is especially evident when watching social media. Where it gets stuck, dignity is visible and hidden there. I think the monk who caused this “incident” also developed irretrievably from some kind of misunderstanding...
Therefore, this hasunoha is also one of the tools that should exist to shorten the sense of distance with monks and to be loved. Under such circumstances, I am definitely not a monk with many responses. However, I can only answer questions that I can sincerely face myself. I'm foolishly thinking that was my sincerity to the questioner.
This time, Fu-san's question made me think again about the weight of receiving a compliment. I have deep feelings for the phrase “Kesa is the spiritual uniform (※) of the liberation ministers (Gedatsu Dosou) of the three generations,” said our founder, Shinran Shonin.

※The humble translation “Kesha is truly a spiritual garment that guides us to the world of enlightenment, as shown by the present, past, and future Buddhas.”

That's why we must not have a chain reaction!

Let “the mind not be governed” be the keyword for this incident, including everyone.
❶ The mind of the bullied person is not governed.
❷ Those who are admitted to the facility and their foster parents are not governed.
❸ Our minds that try to piggyback and attack bullies are not governed.
❹ Furthermore, the minds of viewers who are dissatisfied when they see this hasunoha answer are not governed.
※There were people who read these answers the other day who repulsed and encouraged the monks to go up in flames when it was no good to do this.
Actually, the big problem is that not only the perpetrators but also our minds are not governed.
The structure of bullying is very brilliantly depicted in the drama “LIFE” starring Kitano Kii.
It depicts a structure where a bully eventually becomes a bully, and no one can be saved anyway. People look for people who are inferior or inferior to themselves. The biggest problem for both parents and leaders is that they can't handle their children. They forcibly put them in a facility or hold them down with corporal punishment, saying that they are cocky and don't listen to what you say are evil. I'm not listening to those children's voices.
Bullying is certainly bad. No matter what the reason is, you must not bully or harm others.
However, the worst thing is the “act of bullying (holding people down with force)” itself.
We probably aren't aware of it either, but when we look at people's faults, there are times when we cause a chain reaction and become complicit in acts of bullying.
They piggybacked on it, and now they're attacking those perpetrators and people with biased opinions, right?
They're essentially doing the same thing.
I condemn it. Blame it. attack. I'm doing DIS. Let's take a look at our hearts complicit in the same bullying.
We don't control our own minds and only criticize people. attack. I'm doing DIS.
Even for children who are viewed as “problem children” in the world, it is the parents who raise those children. Inside, I feel a kind of irresponsibility and abandonment of responsibility, where when parents get out of control of themselves, the school will do something about it, and the facility will do something about it. (Not all) Our temple actually has parents and teachers who treat bad children and problem children harshly at the temple and just throw them in.
What about the act itself? I think that is petite violence “the act of holding back with force.”
I won't give you the answer here. Only those who had a chain reaction in this incident should ask themselves.
