monk

I haven't really thought about the reason, but when I was a student, I was depressed, and in the Famicom generation, there was a time when I dug about deep underground and dug and became bad.
It was a time when I couldn't find any hope or anything in this world.
From there, it changed to energy that made me want to die, but eventually it became energy like dying and accumulating because of something like this, and “what is the truth in this world,” and a desire to study and learn that is different from studying at school or in the world occurred, and it became interesting and interesting when I started studying Buddhism.
That's cool.
When I thought Buddhism was a discipline called Buddhism, I thought everyone wrote about themselves.
The fire started, and I felt like I wanted to go to an ascetic dojo.
From there, it was once again in a state of apocalypse in hell, and with mountains ~ valleys ~, I entered the Dark Gray Zone for the second time.
The daily wage was around 200 yen, so I wonder if it's about 9 yen as an hourly wage? I learned with my body that if I can live, it's something I can live on. Apart from myself, I don't want my kids to feel sorry.
There is also a fine boy. I was saved.
It would be nice if I could feel grateful. I feel grateful because I take everything for granted.
Everyone appreciates everything, whether it's futons, socks, cell phones, or air conditioners.
I notice the gift. I notice the benefits. I notice what makes me who I am.
Then, no matter how much Bimbo it is right now, the feeling of being filled with something boils up.
Well, it would be better to have some money.
If there are any left over, thank you so much for your support. (lol)
There are probably people who work as monks, but it's not a job, it's not a way of life, it's not a hobby, they're monks. Imitation, hobbies, ways of life, and what you do in terms of form is imitation.
A figure that has destroyed itself is called a monk. It's not what it looks like.
Words like “don't live alone” were ranked as candidates for this year's buzzword (self-made performance?), but really, that applies to everyone.
It's a matter of whipping into yourself and putting in cutlets so that you never get caught in the dark pond again.
I am the one who has a fixed view of myself.
I am also the one who keeps myself in one place in my heart.
There are also people who ruin themselves and everyone else.
There are also monks who try to move themselves and everyone in a good direction.

It means living a life with little desire without standing from the viewpoint of making profit/not making money.

“It has nothing to do with making money”
No, of course, if necessary, it can also take income.

However, monks are also well aware that even if they want to increase their income because they want luxury, there is no way that such relationships will turn out the way they want anyway, and that there is no advantage even if you try to force yourself to make money by some kind of sideways method.

“Work normally and earn more”
“After all, I wanted to do the job of being a monk”
What is clear is the feeling that nothing is as false as the so-called “full profit” phrase. In my case, my income will definitely double if I work normally, and it is clear that I will be able to live a stable and more rock-solid life.

But hey, the boy's job is so exciting and fun that I can't spell it out easily here.

There are many ways to say monks. I also have a desire to make money. Since we are human, we have greed. The world doesn't revolve around just pure things without such desire. The same goes for monks.

However, Buddhism does not allow that desire to remain a mere desire. I never lose my greed, but it is a real salvation only because they make me aware of it and constantly ask me questions.

I studied from the desire to win and be praised by others, and I learned that my own self was broken by Buddhism... the desire to make money, to have fun, and to play was broken by Buddhism, and that thought was within the framework of suffering.
Rikyo, Naimon, Katsu, and the other self are broken and revealed by Buddhism. It is Buddhism that saves oneself. They don't save me by losing my own desires. This is the teaching that comes from my greedy self.

As you said, if you simply make money, another job might be better. But what is it... I can't say it well, but even so, there are things in Buddhism that make you want to live as a monk, or maybe there is an aspect of being a monk because it's not easy to do another job, and this is also not pure.

So why are monks doing it? If asked

“It's a coincidence (coincidence)”

I can only say that. Everything is selfless and impermanent. In other words, it's conditioned. There is no absolute free will.

My desire to become a monk, and even now that I am doing it, it is a gift due to various conditions.

My income never surpassed when I was a salaryman.
There won't be any in the future.

But what you can get in life
I feel like I understood very well that it wasn't just about money.
Income is not the only yardstick for life.

Normally, I dedicate my time to earn income,
Various pains other than income also come with it.

If it is Buddhism whose purpose is extracurricular Yoraku,
If it's a painful income, don't need it
I think it's the position of Buddhism.

at least
What is not a job to do for income
I'm a monk.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

There are many things I think if I have enough time (money I can use).

Last month I spent two months' worth of pocket money (transportation expenses and gifts), and I went all the way to Fukuoka to see the face of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, so I honestly had zero money I can use until the end of the month this month, and even though I've been asked to donate several other support, I'm in a state where I can't do it...

I'm wondering if somehow I can't make money to carry out external activities, but... it's quite easy...

Occasionally, I buy lottery tickets under low expectations...

Anyway, our purpose is not to make money, but to provide salvation, peace of mind, and healing through Buddhism to everyone.

Of course, in reality, I have a family life, so there are places where I can't say pretty things, but I think that somehow making ends meet is also an ascetic practice.

Kawaguchi Hidetoshi Gassho

After all, when I was a student, I worked for a general company, and I had a feeling that I wanted to test how far I could fit in society.
I want money too. I want to fight local depopulation. No matter how much you have, it's not enough for that.

But at the end of the day, Buddhism has an appeal that surpasses them. Buddhism has the power to be kind to people. Wouldn't it be better to have 300 million people in my diameter be kind to me rather than receive 300 million yen? Rather than being rich and living in a tight place, I think it's easier to live when everyone is kind.

Also, if there's a fun story or a story that moved you, wouldn't you want to tell people? It is Buddhism that is unstoppable and unstoppable. This is also true in terms of teaching, and I want everyone to know about the monks who are doing their best.
