is it that great?

Hello.

I'm currently doing funeral-related work.

The attitude (towards this side) of the monks and priests who come there? I feel like he's a big guy.

It's like “I'm here”...
Rarely, there are people who aren't like that,
Am I thinking too much?

They are also undergoing training, etc., and I know they are doing very wonderful things, but I'm worried because of their attitude... (._.)

Sorry for the weird question.

I'm sorry.

Nice to meet you, Tomo-san
Thank you very much for your consultation.
I apologize on behalf of the religious profession.

I'm sorry that there were so many people who had such a big attitude.

My self-esteem ran out of control because they just brought me a bag, and they came over no matter what I did.
Before I knew it, “just my attitude” had grown.

Originally
“Minoruho, I don't want to stand up for anything else”
Even though I have to have the spirit of

Everyone was so kind to me, so I just picked it up.
I was human, too.
Furthermore, the position of the chief priest is like the president of a small business
Since there's no one to scold me
I noticed it too late.

From now on, while etching this commandment firmly in my heart
I will do my best.

Also, I look forward to your words of scolding.

Aren't you looking at it with preconceived notions

Hello, nice to meet you.

“Attitudes? I feel like he's a big guy.”
Has anything actually been said or done, or witnessed such an act? It's not in the text. It's just your subjectivity.

I don't say that there aren't any monks, including myself, who take an arrogant attitude.

However, if you only look at sentences, no matter how far you go, they are not objective facts; you only understand your subjective facts.

There is a very small minority group where monks who don't have a big attitude say “rarely, there are people who aren't.”
The perception is that the majority are monks who feel like “I'm here.” If so, you probably see subjectively that most monks seem arrogant.

The clergyman is asking for the priest.
At funeral homes, the mourner is the customer, and after all, that customer is the customer.
An arrogant response is out of the question, but when a clergyman asks for a response like a customer, “attitude? What is the boundary between “is big”? I don't know because it's just a fact in your mind. That's because the only thing I can understand in sentences is that it looks like that to you.

Aren't you looking at clergymen out of preconceptions?

*Note, in addition to the text in the question, we will not be able to answer even if facts etc. are added later in the reply section.

Work casually!

Hello Tomo-san.

It's a monk who comes to the funeral, and you notice the tyrannical one.
Priests and monks are also human society, so I think there are people like that.
When I went to the funeral, the funeral home said, “I've never seen a short-headed monk like the chief priest Somekawa. There are quite a few times when people say, “The monk the other day...” There are probably times when people are dissatisfied with the attitude of the monks. Conversely, even though it's a small temple because of that, I get trust from funeral companies and get funeral work (laughs). Funeral parlors are also probably checking the attitudes of monks from the perspective of work while working. Monks are not only their human virtues, but the reliability of monks has been built by many ancestors since the Buddha. On top of that, I think in most cases they are respected. Conversely, there is no point in being criticized twice as much for disrespect. I think I have to tighten my mind, including myself.

Well, I hope Tomo-san can entertain monks well as work without worrying about such monks. There is no need to criticize the monks. The monk's disrespect is also due to the monk's cause. Even if you don't criticize, that monk will always have to shoulder due to cause and effect, so you won't be a good monk. It's like that. More than that, I think that wonderful monks will also get along with them, so I hope that people like that will give them more and more praise. Please support such a monk. Then the number of such monks will increase. Monks, like politicians, are a mirror of society. I hope there will be more wonderful monks. I have to work hard too!

Thank you for your support. (^people^) clapping hands

There are monks like that now...!

First of all, I'm sorry.

I think it depends on the region, etc., but I also often receive such indications from funeral companies and related parties that I have personally become close to, and I try to admonish myself not to take such actions as stones from other mountains.
If the monk's house is big, they may be mistaken as if they built it with their own ability, and there are also people who are pompous.
A human being can catch a glimpse of that person's humanity at an accidental moment, and others have seen quite a few such moments, as in this consultation.
I personally think that no matter how great they are in the world of monks, it would be a frog in the well if they weren't a full-fledged person before that, as a person and as a member of society.

I think most of them are really wonderful monks, so please say “Oh, this person is this kind of person!”

It's a customer

For funeral homes, not only clients and condolences, but also monks and Shinto priests are “customers.”
It's natural that they have a big attitude.
If you forget that you are the lowest on the spot and get upset, it will cause stress and you won't enjoy your work.
It's your job to make them act big.
This is because they are “orchestra conductors” when it comes to ceremonies.
Everyone is worried about pride, and it seems that one of the worries that remains until the end even for monks who have gone through quite a bit of training is the worry of pride.
So, it's no wonder that there are so many bastards and worshiper priests that are worried about pride.
Please nurture them with a heart of mercy.
