About modern monks and the image of the world

① What kind of teaching is it that monks gamble such as pachinko?
→Originally, monks had “no income.” I don't have a house, money, or anything. All I have is clothes and a bowl. Therefore, there is no way that they have money or money to bet, and matters relating to betting are not specified in the precepts. After all, monks are kept alive by purified wealth from believers, so they are opposed to using that purified wealth for gambling. However, in modern times, monks are also in the position of working adults, so I think it is unavoidable that many people gamble as part of their hobbies. Realistically, today is a tough world for monks to live in an environment where they can concentrate only on training like in the old days.
② What kind of teachings do monks teach when they go to manners?
→This clearly corresponds to the “fujutsu” of the Ten Good Commandments. Those monks are just people dressed as monks anymore. There is no choice but to keep a distance from such monks.
③ If something like the above is not OK, what kind of teaching is it that other monks leave such monks unattended?
→Realistically, it is impossible to control and monitor all monks. Monks also usually wear plain clothes, and they can hide and do such acts for as long as they want. Even if you try to be thorough, it's practically impossible. Monks have no choice but to admonish their own actions, but it is unfortunate that few monks have that kind of mentality.
④ There is an image that monks ride in luxury cars, but are there any rules about the cars they ride?
→Personally, I'm not interested in luxury cars, but if I were to ride in a luxury car, what would be embarrassing? Monks are now members of society, so they have hobbies. If that hobby is cars, I think it doesn't matter if it's a luxury car if it's within common sense. I think it's somewhat better than hobbies such as betting as described above...
Buddhism and monks have changed their styles with the times and have remained until the present day.

In this day and age, please think “a monk is also a single member of society.” Working people also have a lot of stress. However, I would be happy if you could keep a distance from monks who have too bad behavior and go out with monks who sincerely work hard in Buddhism.

Buddhism has so many different teachings that it is called the “Eighty-four Thousand Dharma.” It later became taboo, but in an extremely specific school of esoteric Buddhism, there were also groups that incorporated sexual acts into their training. Therefore, it is impossible to explain “this kind of teaching in Buddhism.” Therefore, I am writing it as my personal opinion.

①② It's annoying because they are monks seen as peers.

③ Being clean is great, but that alone doesn't work in the field...

Please read ⑥ in conjunction with ③.

Also, since there are “unexplained teachings,” I would like to “not become a person who only sees other people's faults.” I think that kind of teaching is necessary for the mental health of politicians, public servants, companies, NEET, young people, the elderly, and Japanese people who can't stop looking at it as bad bad bad.

④ The answers are here.
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/3223
Note that the average income of monks in the Heisei 17 Soto sect sect cult survey report is only 12,000 yen different from the average income of ordinary households according to the 2006 Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare survey. And most of it is annotated that it is less than 3 million yen. It's prejudice.

⑤ The image of faith was polluted by monotheism and only created a sense of incongruity; it did not mean that they became unreligious. Rather, it is clear that a Buddhist boom is coming.
Even people who were not Buddhists were incorporated into Buddhists, the fact that there was no way for “good” diversification from the Edo period's Buddhist family system where moving was prohibited, what to do with the sources of income at temples where economic activity can be viewed with a blind eye even though they lost their source of income due to the liberation of farmland after the war, etc., we must dig deeper into what really should be addressed.

⑥ Let's change the monk himself... don't you feel that movement happening right now? I'm asking this question because you haven't noticed it. It's a special world, so it's not unreasonable. What I'm doing is not changing from others; it's about building an antenna and bridging it.

Please note that there is a limit of 1,000 characters, so if you have additional questions, please ask a new question. Please note that hasunoha does not recommend erasing and rewriting answers for those who read them later.

Narosan-sama
There is your idea of how a monk should be, and speaking from that scale, I think you think that monks deviate quite a bit from what they should be.

I can read that the monk at the temple where you are a parishioner is also in view, but I don't think it goes without saying that going to pachinko or manners is bad, and it goes without saying that going out to pachinko or customs with someone who is disqualified as a monk breaks the precepts. You can probably think that you should do it properly, but the same goes for politicians that you can't check what you can't do in advance. It's embarrassing.
On behalf of the poor monk, I repent and repent.
If you notice anything, please keep on blaming me.

① Camble
In particular, it is not prohibited by the precepts, but I don't think it helps Buddhism, so it's better to refrain.
If you have time to camp, I'd like you to recite Nembutsu.

② Manners
Manners and customs mean daily habits, but the question is probably about sexual customs.
After all, thank you very much.
In particular, married people are commanded even in the precepts.
If you find such a monk, please scold him harshly.

③ let go wild
I'm not letting it go wild.
Basically, it's an individual effort, but they also call attention at seminars, etc.
Honen, the founder of the Jodo sect, also told us to keep the precepts.

④ car
My teacher taught me to use temple possessions slightly below the average for those owned by parishioners.
So the car is a Suzuki Spacia.
It's small, spacious, and fuel-efficient.
However, since it is easily affected by wind, I think a car suitable for that would be good for monks who often use expressways.
If you get a luxury car from a parishioner, you should use it with care.

Incidentally
⑤ Non-denominational
Maybe it's because of the nuclear family and the monk's negligence.
But since such a site has been created, Buddhism is probably being sought.
I want to be able to respond to that request even a little bit.

⑥ Offerings
The offering is for you.
It's not for monks.
So no matter what you use it for, your charity work will properly benefit you.
But it still bothers me.
Please donate to a monk who doesn't gamble like me. By all means.

⑦ monk
Yes, that's right.
The monk himself must do his best.
This is called self-interest.
And make use of it for people.
This is called altruism.
We will continue to do our best for self-interest and altruism, so let's work hard together.

　As for ①②, if it really exists, please ask the person directly. I don't understand.
What about ③? If you're satisfied by listening to the explanation of ①②, then there's no need for that. Either way, I don't understand.
As for ④, it seems that in the past, monks used to move in palanquins. Even now, when I go to a large historic temple, there are splendid palanquins. The parishioners cared so much for the chief priest.
The fact that even now there are temples that say, “Please come in a nice car,” seems to be a remnant of that.
It may be that there are people who feel that there is no appreciation when a mentor who holds a splendid funeral shows up in a poor car.
Also, maybe it just so happened that it was a foreign car that was donated for the memorial service. If it's a donation, it can't be helped. I too would be ashamed if it was a donation, but I would ride.
By the way, my car is a light car. This is because they don't go out, there are no parishioners who want to come in luxury cars, and there are no people who donate foreign cars. As you can see from the monk's answers in other responses, luxury foreign cars seem to be just an “image” of you.

Well, but doesn't your real suffering mean that money for donations may have been spent on amusement expenses such as pachinko, etc., or some kind of expensive passenger car?
I can't write my name on the money. The offerings you made are no longer yours.
“If you do good deeds, you'll forget” is the basis of offering. Giving gifts is also one of the good deeds. When you do good deeds, you become obsessed with doing good deeds and want to advertise them. However, Buddhism explains that it is important to throw it away. They said, don't hold on forever.
Offerings are classified as religious corporations (temples), and religious corporations (temples) apply it to basic temple management. Also, part of it is paid to the monks as a salary. Then, monks pay income tax from the salary paid, and pay residence tax, health insurance, and pensions. I live on my remaining money. (I have experience as an office worker, but my income dropped drastically when I became a monk.)

Can you insist that kind of money is “my money” forever? Isn't it painful because you're always seizing what's no longer your money?
