About the guy we live with...

Nice to meet you and thank you.

I am currently living with a member of the temple family who will become the chief priest of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school in the future, which is 9 years since they first started living together.

What I want to talk about is that I can't just keep talking about what he wants to talk about for hours, anyway? That's it.

I don't have patience either, but it's very difficult to be a thorough listener every day for at least 3 hours.

Even if I try talking about catch, my story is rejected because it doesn't matter...

Even if I say I'm not listening, I can keep listening to only what I want to talk about, like a machine gun, even if I'm not feeling well, sleeping, or listening to music with earphones.

Even if you leave the place, you are asked to do errands and called back.

What I'm talking about is about what I was praying at that day and what I felt at that time.

Listeners for a long time won't argue with you that Buddhism comes from listening... even if you talk about it because it's painful.

Does the person who becomes the chief priest like talking?

Anyway, what should I do to keep them in moderation?

We are very sorry for this busy period, but please lend us your wisdom.

Thank you very much for your support.

He's a strange monk

I'm the type that always scolds me for not talking to my housemates and not listening, so it's amazing to be able to talk for 3 hours. My housemate sighed when they saw me writing Hasunoha's answers yesterday too (wry smile)

Well, they're angry even if their partner is a monk. People who don't understand don't know unless they're shocked enough to be hit in one shot. If you're still a person who doesn't understand, it would be useless to just ask for it...
Well, I can't ask you to actually raise your hand, but you can forcefully tell Sara that she didn't like it from the bottom of her heart. Everyone needs someone who can scold them. Since there was no one to scold me, I think I became that kind of person.

Tell him, “It's important to listen.”

Thank you Sara for your question.
The people in the temple family who will be the chief priest of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school in the future, which is 9 years since they first lived together with their partner, are very happy people who can listen to you so much.
Also, I think those of you who have been listening to the conversation for a long time will also be very happy.
However, the length of the other person's conversation is a little too long in everyday life, and they may not be thinking enough about the other person.

The Jodo Shinshu values “listening.”
When you think about it carefully, your partner seems to have forgotten the important thing that you are listening to you.

Your partner will eventually become the chief priest, so you must listen carefully to the stories of your followers and show yourself that Amida's light has reached all of your followers.
I think the first step is listening to your story.

You are Amida's goal of salvation.
By listening to your feelings that Amita-sama is looking for, you can open up how to listen to your partner.

Why don't you talk about such a thing as a topic?

You don't have to look at him as a monk. He's just a normal man.

You don't need special treatment just because you're a monk. You have to clearly say that you don't like what you don't like.
Listening to stories every day for 3 hours seems really difficult.
You're going to get sick.
Monks who have to save people shouldn't torment people close to them, right?
Why don't you ask them to save me from suffering?

It's not something that has accumulated (^<^)

Why don't you just say Gatsun?
Who are you because you're a boy! and.
One point that Japanese modern boys tend to fall into is exactly the one-sided conversation.
Japanese Gendanbo can continue to emit an almost one-way talking beam called a puja like Ultraman's specium rays.
Depending on the person, it's a pleasure, and there are also people who are loud, look at it from above, and have a narcissistic outlook. I wouldn't do that if it were a good human being.
It's a bit dangerous even if you look at it as a normal person.
If you really don't think it's okay to do it, get rid of that monk as soon as possible, become a monk, and evacuate.
If I were you, I would say, “You shut up. Are you saying that to yourself? I guess I'm just saying it to myself. were you able to listen to it? What you're saying is great, but if you do it the wrong way, it won't resonate!” and in a sharp tone.
↑ Ah, I've said this to myself. (^<^)

Wouldn't it be better to say goodbye?

Sorry for the extreme story. But,
If you say “you don't have anything to learn from me,” I feel that it's okay to say “well then, goodbye” without putting in a gap.
What's more, it's a sad story for a boy from the Pure Land system to look at it from above, not as a criticism of other denominations, but as a personal criticism.
“If you want to listen to the story, ask your ancestors and Buddha to listen to it. Until you think it's good.” I was taught that.
I don't really understand the value of being with someone like that to you. Rather, am I the only one who thinks that you might already be superior as a religious person?
