I'm a Monk in Tokyo

This book will be great for people who don't know Japanese customs and Japanese Buddhist culture. But people who have a little knowledge of Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism will not be able to read even the first chapter. I couldn't stand it anymore after seeing the second chapter. Tell me why. I first gained some basic understanding of Japanese customs and habits through playing Taiko Roshiden. Later, because I particularly liked the game Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, I had a brief understanding of Japanese Buddhist culture and Shintoism. In this regard, the author's knowledge of Japanese Buddhism is even less than mine. Buddhism is an imported product from China. It was first introduced to Japan via Korea in the Sui Dynasty. During the Nara period, the famous Jianzhen monk was invited to travel east to Japan to preach. Buddhism developed through the Asuka Period, Nara Period, Heian Period, and Kamakura Period. Buddhism is not just the Buddhism that we Chinese people know, but a religion that is a fusion of Shintoism, Buddhism, and Confucian culture. During the Warring States Period, Japanese temples could be seen as a political force that integrated politics, military culture, and had a strong influence in Japan. Japanese Buddhism also has a very important status and influence in modern society. Basically, it can be regarded as a large enterprise similar to Mitsubishi, Panasonic, etc. If you underestimate the status and social influence of large Japanese companies or don't understand them, you can check the information. So as mentioned in the book, this situation of a temple in a state of decline does not exist at all. And not all Japanese monks can marry and have children, only Jodo Shinshu can. Moreover, hereditary practitioners also go to the relevant "departments" to practice and are recognized before they can be hereditary. As for more, my superficial knowledge is not enough to tell you more. If you are interested, you can check Wikipedia.

What the hell are you writing? I order you to immediately rename it to "I'm a Slave in Tokyo"

Other authors

Everyone, go read the author's remarks. He has obviously experienced the pain of losing a loved one, but now he curses and insults other people's relatives. How can such a person be qualified to be a human being? Not even a newborn!

I haven't read a chapter of this book, and now I want to know how people who have ordered it all feel about it 😁

As a Chinese, to be honest, if I write about Japan, it is best to write about it in an imaginary way. Otherwise, when I talk about shrines, I think of Yasukuni Shrine. When I talk about the emperor, I think of Emperor Showa. I hate it extremely.

If the sky is not bright, then live life in the dark; If it is dangerous to make a sound, then remain silent; If you feel that you are unable to shine, then don't light up others. But - don't defend the darkness when you are used to it; Don't be complacent about your own stubbornness; Don't ridicule those who are braver and more energetic than yourself. It can be humble as dust, but it cannot be twisted like maggots. ——Ji Ye

Single chapter original words

New Year's Eve, Reimingji Temple Shiraishi Hide, Shiraishi Sakura, and the old abbot were sitting around the table, eating soba noodles and watching TV. After clearing away the dishes, Shiraishi was about to return to his room to recite sutras for a while, but was stopped by the old abbot. "Your heart is right, it will be midnight soon, don't forget to ring the bell." "Don't worry," Bai Shixiu smiled, "Of course the Minotaur will take care of this matter. Now we are not the only ones in Lingming Temple." "It will feel like celebrating the New Year if you ring it by yourself." The old abbot insisted on ringing the bell himself. Bai Shixiu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he agreed. "Dang, dang, dang..." The New Year's bell rang, and the old abbot sat on the ground, wiping the sweat from ringing the bell while talking about the past with Shiraishi Xiu. "When I was your age, during the Chinese New Year..." Bai Shixiu listened carefully to the old abbot's narration, interjecting a few words from time to time, enjoying himself. After a while, a large number of people poured into Lingming Temple. The old abbot looked at the dense crowd and said with a smile: "Last year there were not so many people, but some were very busy." ps: My original post was deleted and I don't know how I was still selected, so I reposted it to make up for it, otherwise I would have deserved it.
