The temple only looks like an ordinary household

The details of matters relating to foreigners are unknown, so I can't say anything. Maybe there were times when you felt dangerous in places you didn't know.

So, as a general theory, I will state my thoughts on the other parts, and you are right. It can be said that there are many families of chief priests who only have the main hall next to their house. So as a general theory, I think it's reasonable to feel disillusioned with temples.

My house (our temple might as well) is similar. The other day, my daughter got ahead and became a monk. There are about ten times a year when old people pray in the morning, so I don't like it when I say “get up and pray” to my daughter. My mother and wife also say, “You can't do that.” I'm angry that it's strange that my daughter, who became a monk, doesn't attend even though the elderly members of the parishioners (this is a group called Koshu, Amakko) are praying. However, the old woman and her wife try to corrupt her daughter using a special logic that is incomprehensible to me. This is the reality.

However, there are also many stories that were not thrown away. There are many chief priests who take care of daughters who have family problems all the time, live with people who have come out of prison, accompany them to the company, and bow their heads and ask the president, “Please hire this person.” If you talk to those people, I think they'll be convinced that there are many different lives, and so are the chief priests. However, the problem is that the percentage is extremely low...

> What do the people involved in the temple think that the temple is an ordinary household?
> Don't you think that members of Japanese people who have left Buddhism are secularized by monks?

I think there's a problem.
The current situation of monks who regard Buddhism, temples, and monks as occupations and cannot say that they believe in their own religion is a fact.
I will continue to accept myself and work hard.

In the past, I have reported it too.
I think it was a cold February time.
I found someone lying on a blanket in the hallway of the main hall around 2:00 in the middle of the night.
I thought the vagrant might be sleeping and left it alone.
It was gone in the morning, so I was a little relieved.
However, after that, I was always able to come at the same time for a few days.
It continued for about a week, and my wife was scared, and when I was thinking about various things, I got scared and called the police.
When the police spoke, the sleeping person was a woman who was a disciple of our temple.
I lost my husband in a traffic accident, and I kept his remains in the hall.
They said they felt lonely at night and came to see the hall.
I understood the situation, so I was asked to go inside the hall and stay that night.
However, after that, they were no longer able to come to my house.
I thought I had done something embarrassing as the chief priest.
I don't think my response was good.

There is no gate at our temple, and you are free to enter and leave the precincts and cemeteries 24 hours a day.
I want them to put their hands together, so the hall is open from morning to evening.
That's why thieves enter regularly.
I tried not to place anything expensive, so I set up several security cameras and recorded 1 month's worth.
My wife says she wants me to stop it because she's scared...

There is a current situation where it is becoming difficult for temples to maintain the way they should be.
Many nearby temples lock their precincts and seem to be putting effort into crime prevention.
I can't say that's wrong either.

The character limit is 1,000 characters, so I'll rewrite it.

Thank you for your kind comments. I know it made you feel really uncomfortable. I'm sorry.

Why does Nekokan-sama feel helpless?

That's because you've completed it all within yourself. Foreign tourists have been reported. I was angry. So why don't you ask the monk why you reported it? Well, since I've heard it from person, it must be difficult. So what about me?

I keep my temple private. My name is not my real name either. No matter how many answers you make with this hasunoha, no matter how much time you spend, it won't be an advantage of one yen. Even though such a person is right in front of me, I see it as an occupation as a means for monks to earn money and live. The colored glasses in your eyes are looking at you like that. Why aren't you listening? “Why are you able to affirm your worries so much and keep a calm face?” “Why do you give answers that drag the legs of monks all over Japan?” and.

I'm still kind of stupid. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, there is a monk who has continued to run around in all directions, and since almost never returned home, his only daughter uses honorifics. I asked that young lady this spring when I met her at a children's workshop at the temple. “Dad, how are you?” That child looked down and answered in a quiet voice: “I don't know...”

This person is just one example. Actually, “there are only bastards in the world. There are plenty of real monks who have built up their virtues behind hypocrites who praise “only I am a good monk.” How much of the country's 330,000 monks do you know?

Why do you look down on your temple when Thai monks carry branded bags and are respected even when riding private jets? This is because everything you see, good or bad, is in your heart. This is because respect and contempt are just two sides of the same coin. I don't want to do it because I don't like it, and I appreciate it myself without permission.

You will never be satisfied even if you look for ideals in others, just as no matter how long you keep eating delicious food, you will never be satisfied. Look not at your own ideals, but at this world that unfolds before your eyes.

I'm sorry for being a monk with a bad attitude until the end. But this is Buddhism.

　Hello. I think you're right on point. “The boy himself is covered in Shaba's dirt, isn't he?” However, I'm afraid you probably have in mind that “I don't expect Japanese monks or temples, but Buddhism also has a feeling of being relieved.”
Thanks to you now, I can easily access sermons and books by monks from other countries through the internet etc. I also see it from time to time, and I hope you can come into contact with “unclean” Buddhism there and walk towards your own knowledge. Alternatively, I recommend that you approach books that are as close to the original as possible.
When “I'm not sacred” answered, I don't know how it will be received... I feel my own helplessness.
One thing I can introduce is “Nissho”'s blog. They are posting Thai sermons.

You're just like me in the old days. It gives me a sense of familiarity (^<^)
That's how they search for the monk, and there aren't any real monks! I've always said that. You don't have to do it if you don't want to believe in Buddhism. (lol)
Very good. I don't believe in Buddhism either.
I just love the real thing.
If I only had that heart, I would get really close.
I belong to a sect called the Soto sect, but from the reality I saw at Motoyama, I couldn't love the Soto sect anymore.
I was just complaining like you.
Also, I wanted to do something about it, and I was always worried that the Soto sect would be ruined at this rate.
(Omega) “Apart from that, the Soto sect is fine. If you only have the real thing, the real thing will stay.”
(; °°) Huh!
The problem with me and you in the past was, well, that's how we depended on people.
“I haven't started my own Buddhism.”
[Don't ask questions about other people's actions. However, ask only about what you do for yourself. Also, only ask the truth or falsehood of what you do.] It's my favorite word.
No one else did it. I don't like him. What happened to that person outside is saying this is your heart.
Do you know that “he is here (me), that is, there”?
While I wasn't aware that was the problem, I used to be hostile and complained about Buddhism just like you.
When I spilled all those complaints, a boy said a word.
“Then you don't do it”
The beginning of your Buddhism is something you do, right?
You become a person of character, you don't cut people with the sword of justice, and you hold back your own heart where people are a problem.
Are people called Buddhists looking for salvation and ideals in others?
Everyone doesn't depend on people, right?
I have to do it myself. (^<^)
You should abandon Buddhism, leave it up to others, don't leave it up to a boy, and really live your true life. This way of life is really called Buddhism.
You can become a tycoon. However, you should stop slashing people with your own sword of justice.
