How can I talk to a monk I'm interested in...

Nice to meet you.
I wanted to hear your opinion, so I posted it.
I look forward to working with you.

To the temple I go to on holiday,
There is a monk whose movements are beautiful and I feel a gorgeous aura,
I'm getting more and more interested.
I think I'd like to talk about it,
I didn't have a chance to talk,
I'd like to hear your opinions on what to do.

I started going to the temple by accident,
I like the goma that is being held there,
I now go there.
I'm not a parishioner or familiar with temples, so
If you can't seem to write what you want to know,
I'm sorry.
I didn't even know the denomination until I was concerned about that one...

The sect is the Shingon sect.
There are also a lot of monks, and it feels like a tourist temple,
There are also many people who are helping.
The monks don't wander around the temple much, so
I feel like I can't find anything other than Goma.

It's a world I haven't understood in my life up until now,
I want to be treated like I'm not being rude.
Also, if there are things you shouldn't do,
It would be great if you could tell me..

Since I started going to temples,
Little by little, I began to learn about Buddhism by myself.
Sutras are beautiful stories, aren't they?
I think there are still a lot of things I don't know,
There are many things you can make use of in your everyday life,
I think it was great to meet you.

I tried cleaning my house every morning and going to work,
It makes work easier, and it's fun to go home.

I'm sorry for going a little off topic..

We look forward to working with you.

Thank you for your support.

Please be sure to call out to them

Nice to meet you.
They said they would like to talk with the monks they are interested in.

Please call out to that temple and tell them that you would like to talk to the monk you are looking for once.
I think they will probably respond in a friendly manner.

Also, if you don't want to be rude, why don't you bring something to the Buddha and give it to the Buddha, “Please treat this to the Buddha.”
I think it doesn't matter what you want, but I think it doesn't matter if it's a souvenir, such as sweets or fruit.
I think they'll be delighted.

Please speak up and let them know.

Sorry if that's wrong m (_ _) m

It seems like you've met a very charming monk.
I wanted to be a monk who thought so, too.

So, when I read the question, I suddenly thought (it would be very rude if it were different), that Aluseus probably has a crush on that person.

Ananda (Ananda), who is the Buddha's ten greatest disciples, seems to have been a beautiful boy, and it seems that she was in trouble when approached by a woman.
Also, in the Heian period, there were two monks named Juren and Anraku, who were beautiful boys and had beautiful voices, and when these two people held pujas, women rushed in, and some people fainted when they heard beautiful sutras recitation.
Johnny's is losing ground (^_^;)

In Japan today, monks of almost all denominations have wives. So even if Aluseus's thoughts are love, there's no problem.
Of course, it's the same whether it's pure respect or just interest.

Please try telling them that you want to speak frankly.
This is because monks are happy to receive questions and feel free to talk to them.

PostScript
Was that so, or wasn't it my mistake?
It was kind of exciting (laughs).
good luck (?) !

Well, it's IT, isn't it!

I feel like the percentage of monks using Facebook is quite high,
Why don't you look for it?
Even another person at that temple is fine, so if you find one,
What's wrong with connection connection?

For now, please talk at the reception desk.

If we talk about it in detail, I think they will respond properly.
Or if you ask someone from this Shingon sect to talk about it first
I think it would work better.

Maybe it's the return of “Pure Love.”

 If that temple has sutras, sermon sessions, or the Shingon sect, if there is an Ajikan meeting (like a zazen meeting), or a shrine (staying at a temple), etc., I recommend that you actively participate.
Monks, especially ascetic monks, have few opportunities to interact with women, so they don't dislike talking, but the hierarchical relationship is strict and it will be troublesome later if a senior or mentor monk catches your eye, so don't talk long. Let's treat other monks as equally as possible. Don't forget “if you hurry, turn around” and “if you shoot a general, shoot the horse first.”

Dear Aluseus

We are monks at Koyasan Shingon Sect Temple, so the content of this post is that they are monks of Shingon Buddhism temples, so my reply was written, but please call out if it helps.

See your letter.
If you have a picture or name of the other party, you can call out, but it's difficult at any rate...
I think that's a pretty high hurdle.
However, I was visited by the temple he belongs to, and I have faint expectations... that if they ask to meet the person who was sitting at what time during the Goma Prayer, something will happen...
How is it.

Triggered by a Buddhist relationship

To Aluseus

It depends on that temple
There are times when places are off limits.
Just keep that in mind.

They say they are interested in Buddhism.
As a monk, I am very happy.
Why don't you use that relationship to ask that person about various things about Buddhism?
Sometimes it might be a good idea to have them speak the law.
Please consider putting it into practice. Gassho
