I want to become a monk.

Every denomination has opened its doors wide.
All that's left is your motivation.

However, I don't want idiots who are swept away by the trend of the world, such as “making a full profit,” to become monks.
Please study hard.
And please improve your human skills.

I read it. As Hayashi said, I think there is a way to become a monk in any denomination.
What kind of monk do you aim to become? There are many other sects, such as the comprehensive Tendai sect, the Shingon sect of Esoteric Buddhism, the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism, the Soto sect, the Jodo sect of Nembutsu, and the Nichiren sect with the title.
If possible, why not visit the head temple of each sect while learning an overview of each denomination? Among them, you can also encounter various Buddha relationships. You may also run into a mentor who will teach you.
Encounters are still important, aren't they?

Buddhism is a way to become a Buddha yourself. It's a path where you become a happy Buddha without any clouds.
So you know, this is right for you! I think it's very important to encounter the teachings you feel and meet your mentor.
Please try your best through trial and error aiming to become a monk from now on and aim for the path to becoming a Buddha.
I'm rooting for you.

To become a monk, you need to be a disciple of a monk.
In other words, it is necessary to find a monk who will become a mentor and have them register as a disciple of that person in the denomination list.

Please find an Osho who can become your mentor by consulting with your family temple or nearby temples.

A person who wants to become a rakugo storyteller says to a rakugo storyteller they respect, “Please make me an apprentice!” It's the same as going to ask for it.

I think most of the people who are currently the chief priests of temples were originally born in temples.
In Japan, temples are hereditary, so children take over.
There are also people who have taken over the temple by being adopted by the son-in-law of a daughter who was born in the temple.

However, even if you become a monk from an ordinary household, there is no guarantee that you will enter the temple.

You can take ascetic practices to become a monk at temples and religious ascetic dojos, etc.
Well, the current situation is that there isn't always a temple where you go after becoming a monk.

Even if it is said that there is a shortage of successors to temples in rural areas, it seems that this does not mean that they will be assigned. (Maybe it depends on the denomination...)
At least as far as I know, I think only a handful of people aspire to become monks from home and become the chief priest of a temple.
I think in most cases, monks from home will get paid for a job called a roku monk who works under the chief priest of a large temple, but I don't think that job offer as a regular job is by any means that there are many job offers.

After all, I think there are many people who return to being salaried workers without getting a job offer as a rookumonk.

Some of the people I know who have become monks have already returned to their regular jobs.
Oh, I also usually draw comics at work.

However, even if you don't live with memorial services or funeral offerings, or even if you do other work to connect your life, monks are monks.

I think it's really great if you become a monk because you just want to learn according to the bodhi heart (heart that seeks enlightenment) from within your own heart, not as a job.

If you can live by treating your body as a temple and accepting everything as an ascetic practice no matter where you are, I think it's a great idea to aim to become a monk.
If that's the case, I definitely want them to do their best.

However, if you aim to become a monk because you think that you can always become a monk at a temple as an occupation, there may be a high probability that you will be disappointed.

With the heart of an old woman...

I'm sorry.
