Why do Japanese women want to marry "monks"?

First, local tyrants with strong financial resources. Many temples in Japan are private, that is, the abbot's private property. Some abbots own not only the temple itself, but also farmland and cemeteries. Therefore, the abbot is definitely a big shot in the local area, and his income is quite diversified: in addition to the money for pilgrims' incense, the money for selling cemetery management, the money for presiding over various legal affairs, he can also start a company. This situation is not uncommon. My son graduated from college and didn't want to become a monk, so he started his own company. After his father died, he had to come back to inherit the family business. So when he is the abbot, he must take good care of the company.

Second, the "temple staff" on the tall. Of course, the abbot also has "employees", and monks come to temples to become monks. Note that monks can't be casual. There are many schools of Buddhism in Japan, and some require monks who become monks to study Buddhist scriptures in temples for a long time and become "formal" monks after being examined by the abbot. Some factions require a college diploma from the Buddhist College (some monks even graduated from the University of Tokyo). Understand? A person who eats more and dies less, who is lazy and has no ideal, is not qualified to become a monk. Because it is not easy to become a monk, their income is relatively good. The income of monks in remote temples is also equivalent to that of ordinary local civil servants, with a monthly salary of at least 300,000 yen. If it is a big temple with high incense, the monthly salary may reach10 million yen. In a word, Japanese monks not only have high income and stable jobs, but also passed the examination of the abbot, and their character is generally reliable. Naturally, it is very popular in the matchmaking market.

Marrying a monk makes you happy and makes you sad. Through research, Japanese women believe that marrying a monk has the following advantages. The first is a broad mind. Because he is a monk and compassionate, he must be gentle and considerate to his wife. If the wife is gentle and occasionally loses her temper, she will be gentle and tolerant. The second one is not cheating. If the abbot or monk is found cheating, he will be laughed at by the villagers for life. On the other hand, the abbot's wife should have dignity and self-esteem, otherwise she will be overwhelmed by gossip.

Fourth, couples can work together. Ordinary families are dominated by men and women. Over time, couples always lack the same language, which will lead to alienation. But monks are different. If it is a small temple with few pilgrims, the monk's main job is cleaning, so that his wife can help him. You sweep the floor and I clean the windows, which is conducive to the lasting stability of the relationship.
