Newly built property in front of the crematorium and graveyard.

I learned about this site on TV and was very interested! I'm asking this question for the first time because even I can listen to the monk's thankful story... I thought the threshold was high!

I have decided to buy a new house. Fortunately, a newly built property within our reach is being built in the area I've always wanted to live in! I am satisfied with the floor plan and price. Maybe I'll do it here.

However.
I'm a little worried about the surrounding facilities...
There's a large graveyard next door, and a splendid funeral home and crematorium right in front of you.
We are always indebted to them, and we can't see it from the property... but somehow it really bothers me. Moreover, it seems that the site before the condominium was built was also a large crematorium.

If something ominous happens... or if you are in a state of sleep... I think about various things, such as if something ominous happens... and it's hard to get through.

there! What do crematoriums and graves mean for monks?? Please get opinions from monks who are usually on the verge of life and death! I want to hear it!

The road that passes through grills and graveyards, be forgiving, forgiving

Even in my town, there are still “opposite funeral homes!” near funeral halls There are places where they raise flags and novelties, but!

Everyone is indebted to a burial ground, even if it's not a funeral hall or graveyard, so how about opposing it because you somehow don't like it.

If you don't like it that much, you can mix it with garbage as appropriate and dispose of it after you pass away, OK then there's a consent form here, so yes, stamp it

Well, I'm not saying that, but when I think about what they hate so much, I think it's because they think death is dirty.
Is death filthy or so

Then that's it! you thought it was filthy when your dad and your wife died too, right? Did you think your parents who raised you well for the rest of your life are filthy?

Well, I'm not saying that, but that's what it is.

Also, when it comes to ominous things and sleep paralysis, I myself think that sleep paralysis is a phenomenon related to the brain and body, and ominous things happen, and if they don't happen, they won't happen.
Rather, when something ominous is about to happen, my head is just conscious and others are neglected, so I get injured or do something bad as a result (`・ω・')

The black cat passed by!
Ominous, what should I do... wow... I stepped on dog poop... it's because of black cats
I'm just worried about that and I'm neglecting my feet even though I usually avoid it

Also, let me say this with my own feelings
It means that sleep paralysis and ominous things are the same no matter where you live

That's all

You don't have to worry about it.

Both funeral homes and crematoria can be thought of as places to break bad relationships or do misogi.

It's okay if you get into sleep paralysis because of it, and it's never going to happen.

Daiichi, originally, it is a country with many burial mounds. Actually, there are possibilities everywhere, and unlike now, there was a crematorium for each tribe.

It's fine.

If you're concerned, once you've done it properly, there's no problem.

Any place is a place of life and death

Nice to meet you, my name is Tetsuya Urakami from Nagomi-an.
You watched it on TV (^_^)

You can reach the home you've been longing for! When you think about it, it seems that the site used to be a crematorium, or that there is a crematorium or funeral home right in front of you, so you're curious.
Maybe that's the reason, and it's a little easier to reach.

It seems like they are worried about something ominous... or sleep paralysis... but don't worry.
If you think about it, no matter what place it is, if you go back hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years, people and creatures will have died or been born there.
Also, our surroundings, such as what we wear and eat, are full of “thanks” for other lives.

It's something I don't really care about. If you worry, it's something you can force yourself to connect when something happens.

Crematoriums and graves are not something monks are unfamiliar with.
On the other hand, I also hear opinions that it's good because there aren't any strange facilities built.

Also, I think it will be useful for conveying the preciousness of life to children.
There is a song called “Don't Hide Your Thumbs” by Takayuki Makihara. It looks like a poem written by Makihara looking at a mother and child putting their hands together to see the hearse.
It says, “There are more important things I should teach you. It says, “For example, everyone's life is limited.”

It is a “rice field” that nourishes the heart and fosters kindness.

I've loved walking around cemeteries since I was a kid.
Certainly, life was born here, and I worked very hard. There are people who carefully bury it and make memorial services.
That's because I loved feeling that activity.

I feel that crematoria and cemeteries are places like “rice paddies” that nourish our hearts and nurture kindness.
It's definitely not an ominous place to be hated.

Because of my work, I often have the opportunity to witness the coffin.
In a series of events of death, a wake, and a funeral, the casket exiting the coffin is the scene where emotions come out most vividly.

“I'm glad I'm your father's daughter”
“I'll be there soon, too. Please wait”
“Let's play golf together again!”
“Thank you for your hard work. Please take a good rest”
“Thank you. Thank you so much...”

They put their hands together, believing in the happiness of the deceased's descendants, hoping for a time when they can meet again together.
I was born as a human being, and I feel that I am the most precious figure.
What underlies it is a feeling of mercy and gratitude.

A break up with a loved one. Amidst a storm of sorrow, pain, and loneliness, we encounter truth.
No matter how much you love or how close you are, you have to break up.
I, too, have to let go of everything and then finish it all.
These realizations open our eyes in the midst of suffering.

“So how am I going to live this limited life?”

It's hard to be born human, and it's even harder to encounter true teachings in a short life.
In the midst of a relationship where they put their hands together with the person who passed away, I also think about my own life. Awareness richly changes the way of life and values, and brings results.
If it were such a place, I would describe it as a “rice field.”

Congratulations on purchasing your new home.
Please make lots of fun memories for your family from now on.
