Is working as a monk a worthwhile life?

I was hesitant because I thought it was a rude question for the monk, but I still want to ask it, so I asked

I will. I heard that Buddha preached impermanence and said that life is worthless, but my monk

Is the position of san a worthwhile life? I'm meditating now personally

While I was purifying my mind, I was curious and asked a question. I'm sorry for this very disrespectful question

It's not there.

May all living and living be happy.

I read it.
I think your thoughts and ideas are perfectly natural questions.

The value of being a monk or religious person also varies depending on each person's life and way of life, so I don't think it can be said unequivocally.

I think the path of being a monk or religious person is valuable in order to honestly find answers to questions and find ways of life about how people live.

As an occupation for making money or for gaining honor, power, or social status, I don't think it's worth much as a monk or religious person.

Once again, the value of religious people is being questioned in this kind of world and world situation, and I think their value as a true monk or religious person will also be reviewed depending on what they can convey and give to people.
Also, we monks and religious people also live a limited number of lives and lives, and the time will surely come when we will complete our lives. I think you'll understand the real value at that time.

Even as technology continues to evolve, there really isn't a way that many things can be saved. Someday people may become immortal beings, but I don't think they will ever be saved without true mercy, wisdom, charity, and faith.

My personal opinion is that true Buddhism, religion, and faith can save, guide, and give happiness to many living beings.

I think living while honestly asking such questions is probably a truly precious and worthwhile life.

Please take your time to think about it too.

Since I (the monk) myself am happy

I (the monk) myself am happy, so I think that's fine.
I happened to have a connection with a temple, so I was blessed with the opportunity to learn Buddhism, so I was lucky.
Also, I would like to give back a little bit of favor to the temple that gave me the opportunity to learn Buddhism.
Compassion meditation is good, isn't it?
I am a monk of the Jodo sect, and when I was young, I also participated in the meditation guidance of an elder of Telawada Buddhism.
I think that was also due to my interest in Buddhism in general as a monk.

The Buddha did not say “life is worthless”

 There is a saying, “Buddha said that life is worthless,” but that is wrong.
Certainly, there is “impermanence” (impermanence in various acts) as the basis of Buddhism, but the “impermanent conduct” explained by the Buddha does not mean that life is worthless. Our mind is stimulated by our surroundings, and changes a lot, such as being happy, sad, angry, and resentful. I'm saying that, and I'm not saying anything pessimistic and pompous.
Our minds change rapidly, so don't do bad things, do good things (things that benefit people. The Four Regents Method, Rokuhara Mitsu, etc. Meditation (meditation) is one of them, but not the only one), maintaining a good state of mind, and living a happy life is the teaching of Buddhism. I believe that monks live a good way of life according to the teachings of Buddhism, and teach the teachings of Buddhism to everyone and lead a good way of life.

Brand value...

May you be happy

It's called Tenjo Tenka Yuiga Dokuson,
It's not like monk “brands” have value
I think it talks about the preciousness of human beings.

You are saved not by the value of a monk, but by the value of Mida.

May the Meditation of Mercy be happy
May the meditation on mercy be rewarded.

Thanks for your reply.
The question of whether monks are their occupation or way of life has been debated since they were young.

What is the value of a monk supported by, is it a fortune from a master, an offering from a believer, or is it all animals and plants that serve as food?
Also, I'm thinking about whether that value only applies to monks, or whether it also applies to monks and sentient beings who are only in the name of infidels.

It's still far from the blue sky, but the monks are also walking while hesitating.

Thank you very much for your sincere words.

Not limited to monks,

What are the occupations that are needed
I think it's all worth it.

OK
When it comes to life
No matter what position you are in
no matter what the situation is
Everyone's life is worth it.
That is the measure of Buddhism.

Because we live in the real world
As a yardstick of the world
With wins and losses
It's going to cost my own life
Even if I just know a different yardstick
It was worth being a monk.
