I have nothing to do with Terra at my husband's parents' house.
My husband's parents' house is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Otani school and has about 50 followers.
Currently, my husband, and my son are living happily in an apartment with 3 people if it's 10 minutes from my husband's parents' house, regardless of Terra. My husband's parents live next to the temple. It's been 3 years since I married my husband, and I've been to Terra about 3 times. My son and husband have stayed and eaten many times at my parents' house a little far away!
My husband and I work the same way, and I'm on childcare leave.
I'm the eldest daughter of 2 sisters. My sister and I both got married and ended up taking my husband's last name, so there was no one to inherit my parents' surname or grave.
Well, my problem is that my husband's parents say they are in trouble even though they don't have the feeling of watching over Tera at my husband's parents' house or having my son take over Tera at all. My husband says I can do whatever I want!
I married my husband personally, and I just happened to choose my husband's last name, and I didn't get married to my husband's parents' house. What's more, the terra at my husband's parents' house has nothing to do with me. I haven't received a betrothal, and under modern law, the family register is separate from the husband's parents, so there's no anachronistic feeling that it's the eldest son's wife.
I'm also dissatisfied with the absurdity of why I have to take care of my husband's parents' house or someone else's grave even though my parents' grave is gone.
In the first place, I don't think anyone would be happy if I lived in a temple and kept a monk because I hated Buddhism and wanted to destroy the terra at my husband's parents' house.
I don't know if my husband will inherit Terra or not, but I think I will continue to have strong feelings and live my life cherishing my parents and son regardless of Terra. If my husband dies, I think both I and my son will return to my maiden name and live at my parents' house.
The question I want to ask is, is it possible for my son to live without getting involved with Terra? Terra's lineage ignores freedom of religion and is a violation of human rights. I don't want to let that happen.
incidentally
When I said, “If I have another child, let's adopt one and use one as my parents' last name,” my husband said, “Well then, I feel sorry for the child with the surname Terra in the poor lottery,” so I said, “If you think getting involved with Terra is a poor lottery, let's all take the surname of my parents' house!” I suggested that (laughs)
Also, I said, “Aren't temples negative heritages?” When I said, my husband said, “Exactly! That's a good thing to say!” and (lol)
My husband's feelings for the temple are like this (laughs)
