What was said by a monk

I'm indebted to you.

I'm currently 6 months pregnant.
It was my first pregnancy, and it would be a lie to say that I understood the gender, the progress was going well, and I had no worries, but I had a fun maternity life.

The other day, I was contacted by a monk of the Tendai sect who was introduced to me by an acquaintance about ten years ago, and I was told, “Children with stomachs may have brain disorders, so I don't know if they don't come to exorcise them.” Until now, once every few years, it has been said that if you don't come, you will get uterine cancer, breast cancer, and infertility, but they don't go to purify, have regular checkups, and the month after having children, they have had no problems with natural pregnancy. (The content of the purification was also about putting a finger in the neck and worshipping toward the womb while moving, and I was disbelieving it) This exchange continued for years, and this time they were told uneasy things about children they were looking forward to, so is it actually possible for monks to predict and cure illnesses of children being born, or to put fingers in women's necks to purify them?
It's also the first child, and other than normal checkups, I was examined by a fetal specialist about twice, and I told them that they are growing smoothly without problems, but when they say, “The doctor can't cure it, you won't know until you come,” so I'm worried because I'm looking forward to giving birth. Please give me an address on how to resolve it.

There's nothing to worry about.

It's the same as the inspirational commercial method that was common before.
You don't have to worry about it.
I'm looking for money.
I don't understand what you're saying or what it means.
It's better not to get involved with strange people.
I feel angry that there are monks like that.

Hello Mel.

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your pregnancy.
Thank you for your wonderful report.

Now, after being told such words, Mel is feeling uneasy.
What was your intention and did you say such a thing? It seems like I understand it somehow, but I don't even understand what it meant. Mel herself is unbelievable and confused, is that kind of feeling?

That person is probably not an official monk. If you're an official monk, protest against the head temple of the sect. If you don't need to go that far, then let's stop getting involved.
They say, “This kind of exchange has continued for years,” so why don't you put an end to it from here on out?
While reading Mel's story, “What if that monk's power? I also thought, “If it were true,” but... that's probably not true.

One of my acquaintances was like this.
There were people like Mel who didn't purify even though they were told a lot by psychics. Even so, I was still worried and scared, and after being examined, I understood the illness.
Fortunately, that illness wasn't a big deal... but that person's anxiety hit the mark, and it came to such a shape.
So, this story. Exorcism and illness have nothing to do with it at all.
It's just that the timing was right. If you raise anxiety, you'll become a customer.
An acquaintance of mine seems to have tried to keep a distance.

It makes you uneasy even if you know that it doesn't matter at all. But don't worry, you can pretend there were no such words. The words I spit out come back to me. It won't reach you.
I'm not bothered by the way that person's words have been delivered. Maybe it was about getting Mel to “get regular checkups.” In order to put superstitions aside, it's about cutting ties somehow.

It's getting warmer and warmer from now on, so please enjoy spring with your baby.
Please take care of yourself.

I don't understand the details of the teachings of other denominations, but...

 Mel, I don't understand the details of other denominations, but if you want to know the truth, I think it's OK to read books related to that denomination, contact Motoyama, the religious affairs office, etc., and inquire about whether such a thing can be done. Unnecessarily, I cannot criticize or criticize the missionaries, prayers, or memorial services of other monks. If you are concerned about that and have problems with childbirth or physical condition, you have no parents or children, so I think it's best to ask an authoritative place.
However, praying for eagles is only a trigger for the client to be positive. I have explained that ancestral memorial services and memorial services are also performed to remember those who have passed away in order to confirm that they are alive and to thank those who have died so as not to be ashamed by vengeful spirits or bees.
Therefore, I think it is necessary for the general public to have the ability to think about what monks say on a daily basis. Fraudsters such as bank transfer fraud are looking at things like this, so I think it's a sad modern society where we have to be careful about everything and act on a daily basis.
 

First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy.

 Even so, it's a despicable way to take advantage of people's sense of anxiety. Even if you don't care about it, I think it's unavoidable to worry about it.

But since she got pregnant even without getting exorcised, at least that monk is a liar. Extortion Yoraku is the duty of religion, and religion that incites anxiety or forces money and goods is fake, so you don't need to worry about it at all.

Let's press charges

Whoa whoa, there is a bastard who flew away. It's totally crazy.
Every time Osho causes such an incident and it is reported on TV or in newspapers, we are treated the same way.
That kind of thing is a complete “criminal” dressed as an Osho, not an Osho. Thanks for the information.
There are probably also women who have been victimized because they just haven't come to light.
If left alone, someone else will be sacrificed, so it's best to have them stripped of their monk status.
I think you should contact the religious affairs office and headquarters of that denomination.
The main office and headquarters have a responsibility not to harass such people.
If you keep only emails, it will be physical evidence, so let's keep them.
Even if you make an effort, there is also a possibility that they will be evaded due to “investigation in progress,” so I recommend that you try to let you know what happened in the end with a time limit.
Don't trust people, titles, or positions.
There are probably Osho from that sect within Hasunoha, so I think they should be taken up as an issue.
We ask for your cooperation in cleaning up the monk industry.

Shikato is OK!

I'll say it clearly.

That self-proclaimed boy is just an “idiot.”

However, there are “idiots” like this in the world, and they are also thankful for telling me.

But, you can't do it against your opponent (^_-)/

Regarding purification...

Mel

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

I think you've already entered the second trimester of pregnancy, but how are you after that...

It's about time the baby's fetal movements become quite intense, so be sure to have fun communicating with them through fetal movement play, prenatal education, etc.

During pregnancy, as a matter of course, it is unavoidable that pregnant women, husbands and family members also feel a lot of anxiety and worry, but as I mentioned in this question, people who take advantage of it, incite anxiety through threats, and lead to obscene acts, just like everyone else who answered, clearly stated that they are monks with big problems.

By all means, I think it would be a good idea to consult with the head temple, the religious affairs office, and the police or lawyers if necessary.

Regarding purification and prayers, basically, I know that originally, Buddhism does not handle prayers, prayers, purification, etc. for the benefit of this world.

However, strictly speaking, I think there is room for approval in terms of repelling disasters and calamities that hinder Buddhist practice.

Also, I think the premise that it is important to try to gain enlightenment in order to eventually save all sentient beings that are in the hesitation and suffering of every reincarnation will become important. It means that it is based on the so-called “Bodhi Heart” and “Compassionate Heart.”

Well, anyway, leave the difficult things aside for now, and please stay safe and peaceful with plenty of heart for a safe delivery.
