“What the hell is a monk?”

Let's assume a grass baseball team hires a professional coach.
Suppose a member of a grass baseball team brings club fees and hires a professional coach with that money.
Grass baseball teams are hobby groups and not companies, so there is no corporate tax on the team just because members donate (donate) money to the team.
However, if the team pays a coach's salary, income tax is applied to the coach's individual income.
Also, if you buy a ball or bat at team expenses, a tax will be applied to the profits of sporting goods stores.
Even for temples, corporate tax is not charged simply by believers collecting offerings at the temple (religious corporation). It's the same as neighborhood association membership fees, year-end party membership fees, etc. We just bring our own money for our activities and hobbies.
However, if a salary is paid to an individual chief priest from the temple, if the individual chief priest's profit (income) is generated, it is subject to income tax.
So, going back to talking about grass baseball teams, it's unlikely that all citizens just play baseball without working from morning to night. It is possible for the majority of citizens to play baseball as a hobby while working or studying.
Professional coaches are only a small part of the public.
A monk is the role of a coach who conveys Buddhism to people.
Or maybe a university professor who teaches a slightly geeky subject.
If the academic field becomes popular due to the efforts of university professors and the number of people who want to learn increases, it will be necessary to increase the number of professional professors as well.
I think I would be happy if the popularity of Buddhism spreads to the extent that many monks are needed.
Just as baseball coaches love baseball, monks themselves are the biggest fans of Buddhism.

We monks, who are monks, learn from Shakyamuni's enlightened teachings, remove the pain called “extraction and pleasure,” study ways to gain ease, and pass it on to others. Recently, funerals and memorial services have been described as a monk's job, and this is one way to convey “hard work and pleasure.” Originally, offerings in response to this are for those who have requested memorial services and funerals themselves to reach enlightenment and awakening to the truth, and are not for the income of monks or temples. (In reality, this is the temple's income, but originally, Buddhist monks don't have their own income. (Myanmar and Thai Theravada Buddhist monks still live only on alms) In Japan, monks also have wives and seem to earn income from the job of being a monk, but it is the job of a monk to study and pass on Shakyamuni's teachings. What is a monk? If you have any questions, first of all, what is Buddhism? Please keep an eye on that. At that time, I think that question will be resolved and you will be able to find a way to heal your own suffering.

“What the hell is a monk?”
Excuse me for replying with a quote.
It's both a job and a way of life.
As a doctor of the mind, I help the hearts of people in need, heal, and lead them to salvation.
※The other day, truants also went to school.
Business taxes are partially exempt, and taxes are paid properly.
In addition to taxes, activity funds are also collected at the denomination's main office and religious office. It's like nengu. lol
I'm a Japanese citizen with proper nationality in Japan.
They give me various life consultations, but unlike the elders in the neighborhood, they don't only patronize anyone somewhere.
They admonish them that it's not good to do bad deeds, but of course it's not the police, but even police officers scold them properly if they do something bad.
I know a lot of things, but unlike philosophers, etc., it's not about thinking about what to do with the mind, but rather about how to drive the mind away from thoughts and thoughts themselves.
The doors are open to everyone without distinction.
They practice training and sutras every day, but like sumo wrestling, they don't attract customers like ceremonies or watching games because the purpose is not to gather box office revenue as a spectator, and if you don't do it purely for the sake of it itself, people really can't be saved.
Rather than “individual freedom of thought,” we are pursuing freedom of mind where everyone can be saved.
The human world wants to express itself with lightly dismissive words such as “religion,” “the ultimate complacency,” and “masochist,” and “masochist,” but they are looking for a state of mind that doesn't hurt them.
If everyone in a certain region practiced Buddhism, the people there would probably become a real paradise called the land of France.
There are people who make robots, pilots, entertainers, and waitresses, so there are no restrictions.
Ideally, there will be no end to people to help, but since humans have problems and incidents every day, there is no end to activities.
He is also a good bacteria man who provides the intelligence, comfort, and kindness of knowledge and mercy to the world.
Strictly speaking, he is also a good bacteria man who also served as Uncle Jam and makes the world feel better.
There is the sadness of not being able to see the meaning of a temple's existence until you have fallen once or twice in your life.
You can understand how grateful temples are when you have been deceived, or when you are in pain, and when the whole world thinks that human ego is bad after all.
