Hey /jp/, why haven't you become a Zen monk? Think about it:

- No more parents trying to take over your life
- You don't have to work or go to school
- People think you're awesome if you sit around and do nothing all day
- You don't have to worry about your hair, house, car, or next meals
- Christians avoid you
- Be part of the REAL Japan, not the Americanized theme park that is Modern Japan
- No lewd
- Get help for your anxiety and depression

I have been a Zen monk for a year and can answer any questions.

You can't fap, have sex (lol), have dirty thoughts, anything remotely lewd.

You don't have the right to think about sex, you can't get angry, you can't masturbate, you can't listen to music and you can't eat meat.

They make you do chores and shit man.

What's the point of thinking about sex when it's never going to happen anyway? I'd have been much happier if I never knew there was a world of sexhavers out there. It's better to forget rather than to perpetuate the vain hope that someday, some loli heroine will come and take away all of our troubles and virginities.

Imagine how awkward it would be for the rest of the monks if an American from /jp/ suddenly decided to join

Because I don't like Buddhism and I'd rather do shinto stuff.

And because no lewd sounds too much like the celibacy crap christianity has... and look where that got them.

>I have been a Zen monk for a year and can answer any questions.
This can't be true. I mean even being on /jp/ must break HELLA vows.

That said I'm kind of interested in becoming a monk. If I'm going to be a virgin I might as well do it for piety.

I met a real life Buddhist and his religious practice was basically good luck charms. He would leave offerings at the temple when he wanted ``favor''.

And buddhist monks or whatever in Tokyo won't leave you alone in parks and want you to buy a fukken bracelet for 2k Yen. Annoying as gets.

Shinto is basically nationalized shamanism. It's not possible for one to convert to it.

Yeah, but most Japanese don't even think about their ancient culture anymore.
Just like most people the west.

It's called post-industrialism.
