My parents-in-law who don't think they're temple people

We talked about it earlier.
It's not like a monk, it's a rant! bad talk! It's just disgusting! When the time comes, we will have to live together again. Even so, I don't intend to talk to the parishioners to make everything together in a two-family house, etc., and I don't intend to live together on the premises.

Also, of course my husband doesn't have a day off! There are no days off at the temple! So, of course, we will travel and open a temple ourselves. Hide it from the parishioners! I say it.

Other members of the same denomination are free to go out and travel. It seems that nothing is being said, and since the wife of the same deputy chief priest is raising children (3 people), they only raise children and do housework, and they don't do anything about the temple.

My daughter will soon be one year old and a baby will soon be born. My daughter has been brought in every day since 4 months, and they speak ill of the parishioners and other siblings, such as not being able to raise children easily while taking away what I originally do, or not doing housework. The siblings don't want to be made into bad guys every now and then, so they get together and speak ill of it.

Danke understands that personality doesn't heal even after death, and it won't weaken unless one of them dies. It is famous as an unusual temple in the neighborhood.

I almost developed neurosis when I was living together. I like my husband, but I wonder if it's impossible with my parents-in-law who are intrusive? I think so.

How many more years will they live with similar problems? Maybe I should quit already? I'm thinking about it.

I was so fond of temples and Buddhist statues that I married my husband and got a second one? I was disillusioned by the situation where such a person was a monk, and I began to think like an idiot because I admired temples and monks.

I never thought getting married in a temple would cause such trouble with relationships.

I want you to say my parents-in-law to Kechon Kechon

Maybe they want you to talk about your parents-in-law in a nutshell,
Being angry at your parents-in-law may increase your own stress, so be careful.
This is because anger causes suffering and stress for yourself when you are angry.
However, it goes without saying that if your parents-in-law speak ill of you, this is definitely not an act that can be praised.

By savoring the present

I'm sorry.
I would like to express my sympathy for all the difficulties.

People around me are also dissatisfied with the current situation and the actions of my parents-in-law
Seems like it.

But I think you, the deputy chief priest and his wife, are blessed
I think so.

because I thought it would be for the parishioners, even if only a few of you
What they did was compared to the current chief priest couple,
You can say, “Osho and the others are relieved this time around”
It means that a situation has been created.

I've never been so thankful! I'm envious. (`Delta')
For the most part. My house too,
Osho was so splendid that no matter what I did, compared to the current chief priest
“You're even close to the chief priest's feet. You're really no good”
That's why they say that.
No more, if it's annoying!
Somewhere, even a chief priest can't take over if he doesn't have bad parts!
“My predecessor's place wasn't good, but you are fine here”
I'd be happy if you said that, although I've never been told.

Sorry, I just complained...
Thank you for listening.

The current situation is that everyone can create a better situation,
It's like building a foundation, so to speak. It's more than us
You are in a situation that is a little easier to create.
I just listened to the story of the parishioners for a moment,
You can say, “The next temple bride is a kind person, isn't she?”
That encouraged me, and I think I can work even harder.
You will become more and more wonderful temple wives.

Oshaka-sama says that all actions are impermanent, right?
Things don't always work. The current situation won't last long.
Whether you want to stay there or take a step forward is yours
Depends on how you think. Will you continue to hold grudges or use it as a springboard?

If so, it should be used as a springboard. One step ahead into the future
To grab it.

To do that, it is necessary to fully enjoy the suffering of the present.
If you experience suffering and sorrow and use it as food for goodness,
Your future will surely shine brightly.

You, your family, your parents-in-law, your birth parents,
Good luck to all the temple parishioners. clap hands.

I don't do anything about temples in a proud manner

I think it's very difficult to raise children in such an environment. A new life that will probably be born in the future has also been given, and it's not OK to spend a period where you have to take care of your body while being frustrated.

Assuming that it's good for your husband to work at a temple, what you have to do there isn't about the temple, but rather raising children and supporting your husband's shadow. Please leave your father-in-law alone until he retires and dedicate yourself to your own training (life). Unfortunately, it seems that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are interfering with people's affairs and imposing themselves on them rather than their own training.

If the parishioners around you are also aware of it, don't worry, learn and live a quiet, peaceful Buddhism with your husband until your time comes. I think my husband needs to understand that. Please make a happy home for the couple, children, and the whole family. When the time comes when you will be entrusted with the temple, wouldn't it be a good idea for you to learn the details of the temple from your husband?

don't intervene, don't interfere, don't look at me

Think of it as a company.
You simply hate the president.
The current president is the current chief priest, so it makes sense to follow the owner of the company.
Don't worry about the president hitting your ego while saying that he has a strong ego.
If the president = chief priest isn't Buddhist and you don't like it, you and your husband should become Buddhist.
You're a bit too much of a protagonist. The sense of leading role is too strong.
While the president = chief priest is still well, you can let the president do whatever he likes.
The trick to living a light-hearted life is to “not ask.”
It's about not looking for high humanity in the other person.
Do you have good enough humanity to go that far?
it only sounds like a complaint rather than a dumb question.
Now, for the first time there, I want you to realize that what you lacked was “Oh, that was my own sense of religion.” Whether the chief priest is religious or not, you are the subject of your life.
There are many people who criticize the Prime Minister, but once that person becomes Prime Minister, nothing more can be done. I can't even get used to it.
The temple family and deputy chief priest will automatically be the next chief priest if you wait.
If they seem to be so hostile as of now, it will be the same after all even if you become the next chief priest.
Are you a Buddhist regardless of what others are doing or not? Just ask that question.
Buddha statues and Buddhism don't save us fully automatically.
When you encounter this kind of absurdity, your mind will be disturbed.
Buddhism looks at that and makes that a problem, right?
So, it's safe to say that your Buddhism starts now.
It sounds tough, but it's true.
It was not Buddhism that caused “disillusionment.”
I was disillusioned that my attitude of studying Buddhism was wrong.
... and the toughest part is up to this point. ('◇')
Why don't you overcome your anger first?
Let's make our own heart a problem when it comes to making others a problem.
There's something even more amazing and fierce in my house, and I'm fine even if we live together, but what?
“An enemy is not an opponent. It's my own heart that talks about the other person's problems.”
