A 96-year-old Japanese nun eats meat and drinks, and is addicted to male sex. Is her life really hard enough to break the rules?

Diamond Sutra: "Everything is false. If you see the opposite phase, you will see the Tathagata. "

Buddhism, founded in ancient India, as one of the three major religions in the world, is widely spread all over the world. Many people convert to Buddhism in order to escape from the secular world and hope to gain truth through penance. As we all know, Buddha disciples are vegetarian and fast, and stay away from wine and meat. But there are exceptions, such as Jigong, a monk in the Southern Song Dynasty, who is called "Jigong Living Buddha". He is not bound by precepts and likes wine and meat. "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha pays attention." Although he is a whore, a broken hat, a broken fan and crazy, he is a learned monk who helps the poor and has done many good deeds and accumulated virtue all his life.

Therefore, strict fasting is not a yardstick to measure the practice level of Buddhist disciples. Moreover, what Buddhists say is nothingness, not wine, color, wealth and gas, but the four basic elements that make up the world: earth, water, fire and wind. Everything in the world is formed by these four elements of "false harmony" and is unstable. Therefore, nothing can exist independently, which is the fundamental meaning of "nothing is".

Buddhism has been playing an important role since it was introduced to Japan from China. As for why Japanese monks can eat meat, drink and get married? This has something to do with the Meiji Restoration. Overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, oppose Buddhism, support Shintoism, issue decrees so that monks can legally get married, have children, drink and eat meat without restrictions, and ask them to use secular names. Today, a large number of monks still marry their daughters-in-law, which is not considered as breaking the so-called precepts.

In Japan, although it is common for monks to eat meat and drink alcohol, it is rare for female nuns to admit that they are addicted to male sex. This strange girl is 96-year-old Ji-Ji, the host. She was reported live because of drinking and eating meat, and frankly admitted that she was addicted to male sex in her early years, and her hard life did not need to be explained.

Before becoming a monk, her name was Setouchi Harumi, and she was a novel writer. Setouchi was born in Tokushima Prefecture on 1922. Her father is a Buddhist altar shopkeeper, and perhaps her growing experience is related to her later conversion to Buddhism. In the first half of her life, she moved around with many men and lived a happy and romantic life.

1943, she married Japanese scholar Juno Sano. Setouchi and her husband went to Beijing to work together and gave birth to a daughter in China. Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they were forced to return to Tokushima. At this time, her husband left home to look for a job in Tokyo. Setouchi, 24, and her husband's students, who are four years younger than her, have a secret crush in Shimonoseki. Later, things came to light. She left her family and fled to Kyoto with Muxia, but they didn't get along for long. Muxia married a bar owner.

In order to make a living, she started a writing career. During this period, she got to know the writer Jiro Sugiyama, a guide on her writing path. While exchanging words, the two began an affair for eight years. Jiro Sugiyama is a married man, but after listening to the autobiographical novel Late Summer, she expressed her openness to cheating and extramarital affairs. Under the guidance of Nijiro, her writing level is increasing day by day.

Her casual character is also reflected in her novel writing. Her later works, such as Dazzling Song Naizi, were named as "Uterus Writers" because there were too many "Uterus" in the text. Later, she continued to write novels without fear of gossip, which made her banned from the Japanese literary world for five years. But her works always revolve around feminism, which won her a group of supporters.

1963, her ex-lover Muxia disrupted her life again. While continuing her love affair with writer Nijiro, she became entangled with her old lover, and even let Muxia squander the manuscript fee she earned. Soon after, she formally threw herself into the arms of her old lover and ended her eight-year relationship with the writer.

Later, she found that her former lover only used her as a tool to withdraw money, and she had another lover outside. Maybe she felt disheartened, or maybe she saw through the world of mortals. She decided to cut her hair and hide it in an empty door. In fact, at first she wanted to be a Catholic nun, but she was rejected because of her chaotic private life. For this reason, many monasteries are unwilling to accept her. 1973 With the help of Toko Kon, she converted to Tianmen Gang.

"Silent listening" means listening silently, but it seems that Setouchi has never been silent since he became a monk. She still insisted on writing and spent ten years translating The Tale of Genji into the vernacular version. The hut where she practiced was called "Ji 'an", and regular dharma meetings were held. Many people come here with unintentional silence, and she once ridiculed it as "Sao An".

Her life experienced infidelity, extramarital affairs and later became a nun. For ordinary people, the ups and downs of this life are like a legend. But it has always been her open-minded attitude towards life. Maybe people don't agree with some of her value judgments about cheating, but we can get some positive enlightenment from her optimistic and positive attitude towards life.
