I want to change the temple

I'm going to talk about something disrespectful
Is it possible to change the temple?

The reason was that I felt bad about the temple's response.

Previously, there was a memorial service for an important family member.

The chief priest said that he was not feeling well, so a woman was on his behalf.

It's probably a relative, but that person made a mistake in the name of the person giving the memorial service and didn't know how many times they died.

My name was corrected by a relative who was behind me, and I turned around and asked about it a few times.

I was filled with anger, but I had relatives, so I endured it, and it became an uneasy memorial service, and the sermons were not persuasive, and I felt very disgusted.

I can't help but wonder if I'm not used to it.
It can't be helped if you make a mistake with the sutras.
I wanted them to at least have proper names and anniversaries.

I don't want to entrust the funeral to such a sloppy temple when a relative dies from now on.

Is it possible to change the temple?
What should I do to change it again?

I'm very sorry

I read it.
That must have made you feel really bad. It's outrageous that the mentor made a mistake in the name and worked without knowing the year of death even though everyone went out of their way to gather for the memorial service from the bottom of their hearts.
I think it would be nice to make things rough, but I think it would be a good idea to calm down first, firmly tell the temple about it, and apologize.
Also, if you don't apologize or respond in good faith, change the family temple.

When making changes, I think it would be better to discuss that matter clearly in writing, etc.
If a temple demands difficult habits or exorbitant alms or expenses, ask an expert such as an administrative scrivener to intervene as a third party.
I think all the procedures will probably be enough.

Either way, I feel really sorry as a monk. I am painfully aware that this is very disappointing.

I sincerely pray to the Buddha and your ancestors that your family and relatives will continue to be on good terms and make memorial services for your ancestors and those you are related to. We wholeheartedly agree

It's possible.

First, as the same monk
It made me feel uncomfortable about the important memorial service
I'm sorry.
no matter what the circumstances are
Because mistakes in names and anniversaries can be prevented
It's nothing but a no-brainer.
The fact that I don't want to get involved with that temple anymore
It makes sense.

Have you decided which temple to change to?
To the chief priest of that temple
Why don't you talk about this incident and talk about it
I think they'll think of a method suitable for that denomination or region.

It is possible to change temples. It's a common occurrence. However, before that, I recommend talking with the chief priest or the monk who came on your behalf. In the story, I think it would be a good idea to make a decision about that person's personality and attitude, but they made a mistake, or whether they are unserious, whether they will take over or for a limited time, and whether they are likely to become a reliable monk in the future or there is no expectation at all, by asking various questions about Buddhism about memorial services.

sorry

Hello.

I'm sorry I made a mistake with the deceased's name or memorial.
I often make mistakes too.
In particular, it is said that the question you asked was caused by the chief priest's poor health, and due to the sudden change, that monk was also upset.
If you went to the annual memorial service with all your heart, your feelings will surely reach the deceased.

Of course, it is possible to change a temple, but I thought it would be lonely if I decided to change a temple just because of that. After being in a relationship for a long time, I thought it might be possible to change the temple with just one mistake.
There are times when you make mistakes and mistakes, too. There's no one like Daimon Michiko (Yonekura Ryoko) who appears in “Doctor X” called “Because I Won't Fail.”

From now on, in order to prevent such mistakes, if we properly communicate our names and anniversaries beforehand, we can do memorial services comfortably with each other.
