How to refuse solicitation from emerging religions?

Hello, Suppin-san.

20 years is a long relationship, isn't it? There was no contact along the way, but it's been 20 years. It's long.
Also, it is said that “that friend” relentlessly solicits when they see it with you.

I've come to the conclusion that Suppin-san “won't get accepted,” so I want you to be convinced.
Also, is it impossible to have a friendship with “that friend” without religion?
Should that child quickly break up with their relationships, including relationships with other peers at the center?

It bothers me, doesn't it?

Well, I'm afraid it's a private matter, but various solicitations are coming to the temple. Whether it's a phone call or a visit.
Muko-san comes to the temple with a “normal face.”
No matter how many times I refuse, they come back “with a normal face.”
“I'm in charge of this area (I don't know), is there a chief priest? (Name yourself first), here's a guide to delicious mandarin oranges (I didn't ask for it)... etc.”

Occasionally, it also makes Mukou-san have a sense of anticipation.

But it doesn't seem to matter. What is the sense of anticipation.
Also, Muko-san doesn't care if this is convenient. They just call out without permission due to Muko-san's convenience.
Therefore, your words will not reach “that friend” who has a “normal face.”

You can't even have a relationship without religion. Unfortunately.
I also have relationships with other friends centered around that child...

Turn 20 years' worth of anticipation into a sense of guilt, and you have nothing to carry on your back.
Let's have a “normal face” and keep refusing, too.

Hello. I read your consultation.

Even though they declined for 20 years, they seem a little dissatisfied that the solicitation didn't come when their heart was hard.

I think this is because you don't have a firm axis in your mind when it comes to living your own life.

Shall I say the axis is the belief of living with confidence?

I don't necessarily refer to that axis as religion. If you have a belief that allows you to live with confidence, that's fine.
If the axis is firm, there will be no more solicitation of emerging religions than necessary.

Actually, I also have hair, so I've met with invitations from emerging religions.
The emerging religion says, “Humans are born with a lot of karma and can never be happy, but once you join this religion, you can make it disappear. In other words, if you join a religious faith and further increase the number of followers of an emerging religion, karma will disappear due to the virtue of that thing. That's the only way to get rid of karma, and if you don't do that, you won't be happy and misfortune will come.” That was it.

That's why they inevitably attack because they want to be happy and don't want to be unhappy.

(Of course, there's no such convenient karma.
If there is anything in this world that can be called karma,
It's something I made myself, and I'm sure only I can solve it myself.
(There's nothing people can solve in this way.)

I asked the person I solicited, “Well then, were you really happy? If there are any wonderful miracles, please talk about them.” When I was asking what kind of miracles they were going to talk about, they didn't say anything and fell down with tears in their eyes.

The girls who come to solicit them are also people in the midst of a quagmire of trouble and suffering.

I think the feeling of trying to catch the foot of someone close to you and drag them inside because you want to be saved from the quagmire of suffering may be called a solicitation for an emerging religion.

In order not to be dragged into a quagmire, I think it's important to live with a firm axis.

I think it's probably difficult to get along outside and inside the quagmire.

I was also invited to MLM by my classmates since I was a student.
I don't like religious solicitations because they are insistent. But I'm lonely, so I'm afraid of losing someone who cares about me. What should I do?
There were a lot of things, such as being consulted.

“Contact me for matters other than religion”
If you say that, how will your opponent react?

Religion is separate from religion, and I think it is worth cherishing if the relationship continues.
If the relationship just broke down, I think that's the point of relationship.

I hope it will be a guide.

I always say no like this.
“Fish shops are good fish shops. What you're doing is like asking a fish shop to become a butcher or greengrocer. Soba has the goodness of soba, and udon has the goodness of soba, so why go out of their way to push ramen when that's good enough = being saved? That's because you don't know the real religion yourself. Why don't you even notice that you're saying it yourself ❝ you can't be saved without this religion ❞❝ you don't recognize any other religions ❞ what kind of narrow way of thinking or exclusive mentality itself is ❝ not religious ❞ Abnaiism? To the extent that they don't notice it, Omae has a narrow view of the world and doesn't have the ability to look at ourselves objectively.”
People who are really satisfied don't need to go out of their way to worship something obligatorily and become a source of support, and originally, Buddha wasn't something like ❝ being worshipped ❞.
Dogen, who mastered Zen, was also overthrown, saying, “After my death, this teaching was called Zen or the Soto sect, etc.” I think that is the ultimate in religion.
In other words, if you compare it to ramen, the ultimate ramen is delicious with noodles and tsuyu! In other words, the original religion (cooking) is that when it comes to delicious food, there is absolutely no such thing as an intrusive thing such as this noodle and this soup, squid, etc.
Furthermore, ramen (religion) is essentially cooking, and despite the fact that the human side that eats it is more important than cooking/religion, this ramen (this religion) is everything! A person who pushes something like that is in a state of blind faith that ignores this (human), which is the main body. My head... is crazy, I think my way of thinking is wrong.
I have someone I stopped being friends with.
He was decent until he became addicted to a certain thing, but since he joined a certain thing, he began to come into contact with him from a standpoint.
Humans will come first before religion, before business, and before positions.
The essence of the religion of persistent solicitation is business. It's like taking a course on an emerging religion by paying a high tuition fee called a donation.
You would have lived a happy life even if you didn't rely on that kind of thing. That's fine.
True religion would be to respect you and I am me.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Even in emerging religions, there are a lot of differences, and not everything is unequivocally bad; what only becomes a problem is the case of cults, which are destructive cults.

In any case, since the conclusion that Suppin-sama “will not be accepted” has already come up, it should be strongly rejected by making a firm and further statement of intent, and if that person is too annoying and seems like someone who doesn't care about the other person, I also think it's a matter of making the relationship fade out little by little.

The following are humble answers to past questions about emerging religions, but it seems that Suppin-sama has already been thoroughly verified by herself, and I think this is a really good thing.

Question “My marriage between an irreligious person and an emerging religious believer”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/cat_325515.html

I am answering under the title “Attitudes Toward Religion.”

“... In particular, as long as the emerging religion does not cause actual harm due to destructive cults, etc., I know it's OK to have an in-laws relationship, but I know that even if you join the faith and participate in various events and events while there are many doubts or doubts, you will not be able to obtain any effective benefits (riyaku). ・・”

Question “My husband is a member of an emerging religion.”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1002973021.html

“... blind, delusional, fanatical beliefs are truly dangerous. I know that even those involved in Buddhism, religion, and faith must be careful about this. Therefore, when it comes to studying Buddhism, I would like to make an effort to repeat the examination as critically and rationally as possible. ・・”

Anyway, whether emerging or not, I know that it is important to constantly review attitudes critically and rationally over and over again.

Also, please take a look at the questions below.
