Is it okay to be a monk to be comfortable?

Our temple is small, so we can't live on the temple's income alone.
So I do other work on weekdays.

My job is to believe in my favorite religion and recommend it, so there's no better job than this.

If you eat your favorite ramen and spread the word “it's delicious,” it's like getting a job.

If you gain nirvana and enlightenment, of course, it will be paradise, but until then, not much has changed... even my humble life is still lost and tormented by ignorance (fundamental ignorance) and distress...

I want to work hard on the path of Buddhism so that I can somehow reach nirvana and enlightenment. Let's work hard together to overcome this difficult situation.

　As the title says. I am thankful and wonderful to walk the Buddhist path shown by the Buddha and Master on a daily basis.

There are parts where training is still lacking, and I am often keenly aware of my own inability to fully convey and spread the teachings. However, with the support of good parishioners, I managed to serve as the chief priest. I don't know if the place I'm in right now can be called paradise. I think my way of life as a Buddhist is to strive to make this world a paradise. I would like to continue to work hard with little effort so that I can do that.

The chief priest of a temple is similar to a small business owner. My head hurts and my heart is broken by the maintenance and renovation etc. of the main hall and the storehouse. The chief priests of most temples probably have had similar hardships, to varying degrees. On the other hand, from those who don't understand the actual situation, “make money out of money.” I also often get heartless words like that.

The title of your question includes two things to think about.
First, is the job of a monk easy? Second, is an easy job a good thing?

First, regarding the first one, the job of a monk is a job dealing with life and death, so there is nothing as easy as working on it sincerely.

About the second one. Is an easy job a good thing? It's up to each person to decide what they can bring. At least, an easy job probably isn't worthwhile. The work of a monk is not easy, but it is rewarding.

That's my answer.

Seen from the edge, does the boy seem comfortable?
No one can do memorial services for people. Only monks can hold memorial services for third parties.

Are you holding a memorial service for someone?
What you can't do, even if you want to do it is a memorial service.

　If there are many believers at the temple, they will be busy with temple work, and if you don't listen to any kind of consultation, people will think “even though they are a boy...”
Conversely, if there are few believers, they will not be able to live in the temple business, and they will work part-time. Memorizing is also doubled.
Two bundles of sandals, those who chase two rabbits don't get a single one, and they are bothered by various sayings and idioms. Are you a monk? what is it? People say they hate me from both occupations. When the funeral comes all of a sudden, they take a day off, but there's a bad atmosphere...
I couldn't go to meetings between temples because of my part-time job, and I was delayed.
It's easy, I don't like it, it's not easy. A monk in clothes is a monk, and a monk without clothes is not a monk. Even though they became a monk, became a monk, practiced law, practiced law, changed clothes, became Zuiyo, became a deputy chief priest, and worked part-time even when speaking the law... why!! I'm not convinced.
and it's like this. Are monks easy or not? My teeth are itchy like Buddhist terms that don't come up right away, even on a computer.

A monk
I'm not looking for financial happiness,
I live by other values.

In that sense,
Don't be bound by the rules of the world,
I can say that I am living comfortably.
