hasunoha

Reading hasunoha's questions and answers, and I feel sad.

(From the Editorial Department. (Some details have been corrected)

Nice to meet you.
As always, thank you to all the monks who respond.
When I have time, I read all the questions and answers together.
It's a learning experience.

Now that I've read the questions and answers, there's one thing that bothers me.
I am sad to see that many people have not written thank-you replies to all the monks who asked questions and answered them.

Nevertheless, I would like to express my gratitude to the monks who answered sincerely.
It's not a question, but I wrote it.

Thank you

Thank you very much. I think your opinion is correct. Hasunoha is an important place for me too, so I'm sorry again that the place would be rough.
We will continue to work hard so that we can respond in a way that does not cause controversy with the questioner and that you can write a “thank you”.

Thank you for your consideration

A message saying “The questioner added 'thank you'” is now displayed to the responding monks. Therefore, even if there seems to be no reaction from everyone, there are cases where feelings are conveyed to the responding monks.
Also, in some cases, you may receive a thank-you reply many weeks after the response was received. Even in such cases, the responding monk is informed that a reply has been received by email. It's normal on the internet to sometimes get in the spam box and miss it, but...

Well, if you were asking for something in return, you wouldn't be able to complete this kind of activity, so I don't think it's good manners to write a thank you. It's also inexhaustible when you figure out whether it's your real intention or your reason for being thankful.
The answer is a gift called enforcing the law. The important thing about giving is that you forget it as soon as you give it. I don't think about how the person who received the donation will use it. However, I will give it as an expression of my good intentions right now, at this moment. In the same way, I will write the answers, and the questioner will accept them. That's all.

Even in alms, Buddhist monks keep their eyes down and don't make eye contact with the client. Even in Japanese Buddhism (if you do it officially), you wear Ajigasa deep in your eyes and don't look out. Without being that aware of the other person, they complete it on their own.

However, on the other hand, if you receive repeated questions, check past questions and answers and think about the next one. Therefore, there is definitely a difference in the accuracy of responses between those who get replies to beans and those who don't have any replies at all. You must be aware of that.
If there are good intentions in giving gifts, of course, they will naturally think about what will benefit the other party. whatever the outcome.

Even though there was no reply for a long time, it was about the 10th time, and suddenly, “I was stepped on a landmine. Even when they say “I'm angry,” to be honest, I don't think “there's no way I know that.”
After all, if you don't learn the basics of such communication, everything will affect Shaba's relationships. As a result, you are the one who has trouble yourself.

Nonetheless, I myself have a history where replying to other Q&A's was a hassle and became an answer specialty. I feel like I have to write about being an honor student, so it's really burdensome, isn't it? So for me personally, I don't think everyone should overdo it. You don't have to be an honor student to write.
(I've seen the answer that it's good manners to reply a few times, so keep in mind that my thoughts aren't everything)

The Buddha said.
“Don't look at what others did or didn't do.
Look at what you did and didn't do.”
It's good to look at the questions and answers and use them as a reference, but let's not just worry about the other questioner.
Also, there are many cases where people say thank you from the questioner even if they don't have a thank you note.
