Enlightened monk

This is a very difficult question.

The expression differs depending on the denomination.

At least, haven't I gotten close to the Buddha yet?

I think it's an ascetic practice every day.

The analogy is to say nothing, but mu is not nothing; it is an impression that it is immeasurable like a human being.

I think I just said ∞ instead of 0.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten that far.

I also want to listen to other Osho's stories.

Therefore, I think about the Buddha, pray for the Buddha, worship the Buddha, and always live with the Buddha.

However, when I became the chief priest, I was prepared to do my best, and risked my life to spread Buddhism and protect the temple.

I'm a monk of the Jodo sect.
The Jodo sect believes that understanding in this world (present-day Earth) is quite difficult.
Also, there are several stages of enlightenment.
Even if they don't get rid of all their worries like the Buddha, there may be people (people in the first stage or second stage of enlightenment) who have lost part of their afflictions.
Complete enlightenment that removes all worries like a Buddha would be quite difficult in this world.
I'm not saying it's definitely not there.
However, just because it is difficult to understand does not mean that training to understand or training to eliminate worries and suffering is useless.
Also, even if getting rid of worries (enlightenment) is difficult, I think it is possible to control the emotions that appear due to worry.

I'm aware that it's intermittent and fragmentary. And I'm not the only one. Everyone, not just monks, is aware in the same way.
On the other hand, the Buddha is aware of everything, yet he is not aware that “I have realized it.”

I think it would be nice if you could understand the difference between our enlightenment and that of Buddha as being intermittent or continuous.

I don't know anyone other than Master Inoue Kudo and Inoue Tetsugen Roshi who has attained enlightenment.
I've been at Motoyama for 10 years, so I think I know someone in the industry.
The “boss” who is famous in the industry asked me questions about this, but it was so full of karappo.
There are many people who are biased towards strange ideas, such as being quick to sharpen even if they seem to have realized it. (What I think)
Of course, they have outstanding abilities in other fields. The boy who is enlightened now is not being evaluated and is simply erased by the dark. There are monsters lurking in the industry. There are many people who hold important positions because they want that position. I would like you to read carefully and see through what the monk who has been praised by the public and has become famous. Everyone argues “this is what I think” without explicitly stating enlightenment. That's why you'll never understand it with that teaching.
Even if I were to preach them, they would line up the difficult Buddhist words and Zen words, get caught in smoke, and run away. They fall for cheap solid arguments such as “it's no good to acknowledge something like enlightenment,” and mislead what they haven't realized. If you don't know it, it might seem splendid at first glance. You might even hear something cool, like “You can't gain enlightenment.” That is a common phrase for followers of Sawaki Kodo, who is currently the mainstream of the Soto sect. Death is zen. There are many people in the current So-jong who use this as an excuse to run away from enlightenment. So is it really OK to lose enlightenment? For that reason, I'm not even talking about salvation from life, old age, illness, or death. I think it's OK if I do zazen. I think that's stupid. Buddhism with contents that can save the world will not spread even if it is an empty proselytizing with no content. Such people are called enemies of the Buddha. They pretend to be spreading Buddhism, and in the end, they spread their own ideas without enlightenment, and they are just trying to put themselves in the limelight. It's a wild fox driven by his own ambition.
If I were asked to perform on TV, I would hand it over to Nukudo Roshi. That's because it's a real benefit for the world. I don't know what is the benefit of an unenlightened boy appearing on TV.
So why do unenlightened monks become famous? This is because people in positions that promote monks to the world don't have the power to see through, and they are deceived by well-spoken monks.
Please take a close look at your words and actions. It's clear that Karappo is really unenlightened. There are only people who have their logic lined up and are engulfed in smoke. It really is a French enemy.
The real thing will be erased. Every era by ❝ fake monks ❞.
