Why is it so difficult to leave home?

Hello.

There is a saying, “Hatsubodaishin (hotsubo daishin).”
It means hoping that not only yourself, but all people can have happiness together.
If you have this heart, you're with the monk.

There are four actions in order to hope that all people can have happiness together.
・Giving (offering heart)
・Love Language (Heart of Mercy)
・Toshiyuki (act of kindness)
・Colleagues (put themselves in the other person's shoes)
This is what I do as a monk.

If you do these things, you'll already be a monk, but I think you'll have a relationship where you can practice (become a monk) with other monks while doing these things.

Why are they so particular about the form of “becoming a monk”? Let's notice that that “obsession” mentality is moving away from being a monk again.

The teacher-pupil relationship lasts a lifetime.
As an apprentice taker, you need to be prepared to adopt a child and take care of everything for the rest of your life. However, 90% of people who say they want to become a priest do not “please make me your disciple,” but “let anyone become a priest.” I just want to be a monk, and anyone can be my mentor. I don't think I'm licking it.

Were you prepared to give up everything you've learned in your life until now and be dyed in the color of each and every monk who turned the tub? Were those monks respected enough to serve them for the rest of their lives? Have you ever thought about that?
That's the temperature difference.

That's why I always say it in hasunoha. I often go to events like zazen parties at various denominations and temples, and if I meet a monk who “wants to follow this person for the rest of my life,” think about whether to become a monk at that time.

As soon as you mentioned demons in the other question, the monks stopped posting right away. This is reality. Becoming a monk itself doesn't mean that demons will go away. After all, please be aware of that.
But the monk himself took the initiative and said, “Someone will do something about it, because monks are versatile!” I have a dream. Even though I know best how dark the world of monks is. That's why it gets washed away. It's cruel.

Nevertheless, the monk wrote what to do in order to be saved.
“Let's practice like a monk without being bound by the form of being a monk”
“Why do you feel possessed by the devil? Please ask new, specific questions”
I also wrote “Go to events like zazen sessions often,” and although it may seem like a detour, I'm writing “Let's face each and every monk in front of you.”

If you look at things in your own image and insist only on what you want to do and what you want them to do, then you are targeted by evil spirits using your own mind as bait.
Just as physical health changes drastically due to daily lifestyle habits, spiritual health also changes drastically depending on how you feel on a daily basis.

If you want to be saved, try the treatment that the monk said let's do this.
I'm sorry for saying such a harsh thing. But the path you're trying to take is different. That's not where salvation comes from.

Perhaps what you mean by becoming a monk is simply “getting the qualification of a monk.” Well, if it's the son of the temple, it's certainly easy. My parents are my mentors, and I also have connections.
I'm also the son of the temple, so people who live there have told me a lot of things I hate since I was in high school. “It's nice that it's easy,” and “it's okay if you don't make an effort to take over.”

Honestly, I think that's true. However, while it is said that there are few monks in the current Buddhist world, there are actually few temples that can take over. The temple doesn't have any money.
In the past, there was demand and money for temples, so one temple was able to have many disciples, but now they can't get disciples because no one has any money. That's why there are many people who want to become monks but can't, monks inherit blood relationships, and teachings don't spread...
Monks are in the setting sun business. It is said that in 20 years, the current temple will be cut in half. It's going to be a tough time for the remaining temples.

If you have a firm grasp of the current situation and still want to become a monk, I think you still need to be prepared. The days of making money with a whole lot of money are long over. However, if you want to explore only Buddhism, no denomination will ever leave such a person alone, so I don't think there's anything you can't become a monk.
In a sense, when we are born, our son bears the mission of “inheriting the temple and then taking over” to some extent, so it's risky in a sense. They practice ascetic at the risk that the temple will collapse and become unemployed after getting older, and they belong to a temple. There is no other way to live anymore; it is a feeling that it will perish along with the temple.

Still, I love Buddhism, and I don't want this teaching to end in my own time. I am proud of myself as a monk.

Are you prepared for that? It's called “being at home”, but if you want to become a monk somehow, or because it seems easy, or just to commemorate... then I think it's better not to become a monk. Honestly, monks also have talents. In Buddhism, they are called “kigen.” If you don't have a lot of skills, you can't live.

※Postscript
They are called “monks seeking salvation,” and monks are “people on the saving side.” Just being a monk won't save you. it's not bad.

I'm from home,
There was a temple with no successors among my relatives, so
I easily became a monk.
But I think it's usually difficult.

Well, compared to other denominations,
I think it's relatively easy if it's the Jodo Shinshu sect.
Still,
Do you want to go to a boarding school for 1 year,
It is necessary to take distance education for 3 years.
Also, it is necessary to recommend the chief priest of the Jodo Shinshu Temple.

If you have the desire to become a monk,
I think we'll find a chief priest who will promote it.
Don't give up.

In order to qualify as a monk, a reasonable amount of tuition is required. (I went to college to become a monk.)
I don't think my mentor, who is someone else, would easily pay such tuition fees.
If you can prepare tuition fees, you may be able to find a monk who can be your mentor.
You need the feeling that you want to become a monk yourself, but you also need the power of the people around you who want you to become a monk.
Originally, monks lived and practiced only alms and donations (support from others).
In the case of Japan, there are many monks who can't do it with just support from others, so there are many people who work as monks while doing other occupations.

Nice to meet you. My name is Honda Seihiro.

After washing up, even if I talked to Hasunoha, it was denied, and I'm guessing that I can't stay calm. I didn't like it.

However, don't worry, as long as Jin-san continues to wish to become a priest, it will definitely come true. Right now, if I don't calm that anger, I think my daily life will be difficult. So let's deal with anger first.

First, try to be respectful of the other person. Why didn't the temple that used it as a sink recognize Jin-san? There must be a reason. Whatever the reason, please forgive me. The point is to decide to forgive and then think about the reason. No matter who your opponent is, whether it's because it's a temple or because you're a monk, please force yourself to forgive them.

If I could forgive, I don't think anger would spring up. However, it's pretty difficult. If you can't forgive no matter what, please forgive yourself for not being able to forgive. Jin-san, who is generous, forgives herself for being angry at others. The image is Buddha. Please forgive your angry self while imitating the expression of the gentle Buddha.
