I'm going to volunteer...

This is my first post in a month. Before I ask a question, let me write a bunch of essays.
If there are any typographical errors, etc., please forgive us.

I mentioned that I would do an interview in the previous question, but the interview didn't work.
It makes me feel indescribable to those who have supported me.
When I fell, I was shocked and wanted to die.
I thought about talking to Hasunoha, but even that was a hassle.

It's a little calm now. But no matter what, it's still humble...

It's been a month since I fell, and there were quite a few things I thought about and happened (^_^:)

When I went to see “I Am a Boy,” everyone around me was older.

When I visited graves at the family temple for the first time in over a year, I was lightly disillusioned with the chief priest (I plan to ask a separate question)

I received a religious solicitation from someone I became good friends with during a job hunting seminar (probably, Kennantoka-san)
When I was job-hunting, it was a surprise religious activity...
“Do you know the Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō? (Smiling)” “Eh..., that kind of thing...”
(I know! Wow, I belong to the Nichiren sect! (Plunge in my heart))
I had already contacted the police and the person at the seminar, so they refused and ran away.

It's been a month like this. Something related to Buddhism (?) I have a lot of memories of
It's all true (laughs)

Now on to the main subject, I'm suddenly going to volunteer in the disaster-stricken area for 3 weeks.
The location is Iwate Prefecture.
The reason I'm going is that I was fine anywhere to do certain things, but since I went out of my way, I thought I'd volunteer (the monk wrote the details in the profile column if it's OK. (However, I don't want to cause trouble to activity groups, etc., so please refrain from writing only in the profile column in your answers, please)
Iwate is farther from the city than Fukushima, so it seems that there are fewer volunteers.
I'm trying to do my best, but I also think about things that aren't good.
I don't want to go to a cold place for 3 weeks, and I want to fiddle with my computer at home.
At the end of the day, I'm trying to volunteer incidentally, to have an advantage in getting a job. There's an evil feeling somewhere, isn't it? etc.
(However, the main purpose was to do something, but the deciding factor was volunteering. (Otherwise, I'll do that thing close to my house)

Is it good to work as a volunteer while feeling bad?
If there is such a thing as thinking about volunteering, etc., I would like to use it as a reference.
Thank you for your answers.

You can do various things without thinking about unnecessary things

You can just do what comes right in front of you, regardless of profit or loss.
You may be able to see something inside of you over time.
They are just hypocrites even when they volunteer because they are aware that they have an advantage in getting a job. Even if it seems like a trigger, if you go to the site on that day, try devoting yourself to that. The results will come later.

Purity = Doubting Goodness

When I asked the question before, it was “I'll blur it a little bit.” That was impressive.
I want them to watch over you with a smile. it's a maternal instinct, isn't it?
There is a senior of mine who was affected by the disaster in Ishinomaki, and there is one who said, “If you come to volunteer, go play.” So I think it doesn't matter if it's Yokohama. There are other purposes, and they say “volunteering because it's a no-brainer,” and I really appreciate it.
I'm a boy, and that “trigger” and “continuing to be a boy” are quite different stories. I became a monk since I was born in a temple. This is unmistakably true. However, it has already been 20 years, and the motivation for “continuing to be a boy” has come out of working as a monk. In other words, it continues to be updated moment by moment after the end of the day.
So try it. You'll understand once you've done it. That's my advice.
However, when you're volunteering, you should be enthusiastic. When you're doing “that thing,” it's like being enthusiastic about it. There are probably so many people who say “I've been volunteering” in job interviews today. So, I don't think “I've been in Iwate for 3 weeks” alone would be a big plus. But in the midst of that, I'm sure you notice something, and I think that awareness itself is important. It's the difference between whether you're insensitive or sensitive to it, but in society, I think in the end, we look at individual potential in what we notice while doing that work.
Maybe that volunteering was the trigger, and there is also a way to get a job in Iwate.
There seems to be a trend in the world where “motives must be pure,” but that is an illusion. I hear that there are many people who volunteer a lot during the day and have fun in Sendai at night. My body works well while holding the feeling that I don't like the cold weather. The story “Motivation...” is a story about evaluating work performance and going back from there. The order is different, so don't get it wrong.

Don't pour out your feelings too much

No matter what you do, it's probably better to let go of hanging around for something.
It would be nice if you could just learn how to do it.
Up until now, everything must have been done for something.
Then, as an expected result, it became impossible to obtain it.
I think that feeling of disappointment was considerable because it was for something.
I don't need to volunteer this time for anything.
Try setting a goal and just doing it.
I'm not going to carry myself there.
I don't carry my private thoughts there.
I don't let my ego or my own rules interfere with that at all.
This is the Buddhist act, which should be called Myōhō Renge Shinto, Myōhō Rengeko, the act in which the Buddha's heart appeared.
As a result, I think it will be a good opportunity for humans to look back at the fact that their hearts have been greatly raised and lowered due to the purpose of their own unique perspective on the world.

I'll do it without thinking ahead

Hello, Mr. Takemaru.

Volunteering is something you do without thinking about anything else. If you're going to get a job or do it for the future, I think it's better to stop it.

Please work as a volunteer with altruism (being useful to someone other than yourself). Your partner can see through the fact that you think ahead and work. Please be careful.
