To the people who protect me

Nice to meet you, Yasu-san. I read your question.

I don't know how to express my gratitude to those who protect Yasu-san, such as Shinto and Buddha.

I think Yasu-san just needs to put their hands together.
In Buddhism, it is explained as “mutual offering and mutual worship.” It indicates mutual recognition and mutual compassion.

Please direct your heart of compassion to Shinto and Buddha, and similarly direct your heart of compassion to someone other than Yasusan.

Humans will continue to live in their ego until they awaken to a wonderful sensibility like you. That used to be the case for me.
If you notice that ego and selfish arrogance, and know that refraining from it will cooperate with the peace of the world as a whole, then spreading that kind of heart is what makes the people who have protected you the most happy.
To put it simply, temples and shrines are places that work to increase the number of good bacteria in the mind.
However, depending on the location, operation is also difficult.
I also work here for free, but it's actually difficult financially.
Please do your part to protect temples, shrines, etc. in order to spread the spirit of Shinto and Buddha even more with a feeling of respect for Shinto and Buddha.
What I'm saying here isn't originally mine either.
Everything is a gift from heaven, earth, nature, and gods.
Gifts are given back to the world in some form, and people who have been saved by Shinto and Buddha should not use all the wisdom, power, and wealth they have received in honor of Shinto and Buddha for themselves.
It doesn't matter to the extent possible, so please contribute through actions, public relations, donations, etc. so that they can be useful to the world.
There is an increase in the number of ego/ego people who destroy temples and shrines because they don't need religion.
I would be grateful if you could provide some form of assistance or external protection so that temples and shrines can continue to exist

Please put your hands together without hesitation.
Sometimes while saying words of gratitude, I feel grateful for being alive, and if I want to put in an offering, I can put in it.

They also put their hands on Jizo and Dosojin by the roadside.

I casually stopped by at an uninhabited temple, put my hands on the principal image and listen to the voice of the cicadas.

I visited the shrine by car, parked my car in a strange place, and was scolded by the chief priest.

Belief in Shinto and Buddhism is part of our lives.

Gratitude is something that comes naturally.
