I want to meet a monk

Good evening.
This is my second year as a member of society.
I began to be interested in monks when I was in my second year of college, and from that time on, I became the object of admiration.
I can't say anything about her wearing a robe.

I want to be in a relationship with such a monk, but is there a place where I can meet a monk? (Other than temples)
Also, is it permitted as a monk to go out with women you've talked to at temples etc.?
I'd like to go out with a monk if possible.
Isn't the chance of getting along zero?

We welcome you!

Good morning.
They say they want to meet monks at places other than temples, but honestly, “if I go here!” I can't think of a place like that, sorry. There are quite a few, but after all, I usually wear everyday clothes.

If you're definitely going to meet someone, for example, our sect holds a marriage hunting party called a “good marriage gathering.” (https://www.nichiren.or.jp/information/shuumuin/20180502-3766/)ただしこれの参加資格、女性は「女性は僧籍取得者又は寺族、檀信徒の方で住職の推薦のある方」となっていますので、ややハードルが高いかもしれません.

There are also places where individual temples host their own unique encounter events. Eligibility for participation in such places varies from event to event, so why not choose a place where you can feel free to participate?

It's not a story about not being in a relationship with a woman who came to the temple. There is no such thing as prohibited in our sect. I'm simply happy when people come to the temple, and I'm also welcome to talk to them. However, since my opponent is a monk, I think they will respond with moderation. Therefore, please do not hesitate to visit again and again, even if it is salt-compatible.

I hope you have a good encounter!

Have a wonderful relationship

I read it.
I see, for the monks, I think they are very thankful for this relationship.
Well... there are a lot of events these days.

Incidentally, tomorrow 5/5 is Shogakuji in Nakaneguro in Tokyo, and 5/6 there will be a Buddhist event called “Mukogen” at Shimomeguro Fudo Ryusenji Temple and Gohyakurakanji Temple in Meguro-ku.

Why don't you go there if you like it. I think there are all kinds of monks.
I think there are probably a lot of young monks.

Alternatively, there are various monks and Buddhist events.
For example, “Temple Net Sanga”

Young monks are doing quite an active part there.
Also, you'll definitely be able to meet monks at the “Temple and Shrine Con.”

Or if you go to a Buddhist university such as Taisho University, Komazawa University, Rissho University, Bukkyo University, Ryukoku University, Otani University, Hanazono University, etc., you'll be able to meet monk eggs. Wouldn't it be okay to go to the university's school festival?

But please try praying at your family temple too. When various events are being held, many monks will come to help.

I sincerely pray to the Buddha that you will meet a wonderful Buddha relationship from now on, establish a deep relationship with that person, and walk a hearty and happy life together while understanding and respecting each other.

Please do your best! I support you from the bottom of my heart!

That's an amazing thought.

 I've read your question, but is the closest place I can meet someone at a university or a place to study Buddhism? I think it would be a good idea to visit the head temple of each denomination and talk a little bit. Our sect is a separate temple such as Tsukiji Betsuin, and it is Nishi Honganji, which is the head temple of Kyoto, but I think it's important to visit Wish Temple (family temple) and be heard.

The Soto Sect Temple Succession Counseling Center of the Soto sect regularly holds meetings called “Smile Gatherings.”

The schedule for this fiscal year is yet to be determined, but I think it will continue to be held in the future. Please check it out.

I'd rather introduce

I'm glad that the monk is interested.
There are many monks around me who are single and don't have girlfriends.
Everyone wants a girlfriend, but there are few encounters with young women, and since there are few encounters with women, there are a lot of people who are sophisticated (laughs)

My place is a denomination with hair, so it may be different from the image, but I feel like I'll introduce as many as I want if that's OK (^^)

I wonder if the monk is a longing. I'm happy about that.

Everyone, monks are kind, aren't they?
A lot of information for you ♬

I wonder if the monk is a longing.
I'm happy about that.
It would be nice if the monk, temple, or Buddha's side would become a safe place for you~ ('`*)
