I admire the bravery of Japanese monks who make a routine of exorcising clubs. They practice an age-old ritual, ridding those sinful places of wicked spirits by absorption.
A Japanese friend told me some years back that monks are who have the _real_ money in Japan, way more than doctors and even pretty high-level attorneys.
Some years ago there were Buddhist monks in Thailand caught putting on military uniforms so they could meet girls, so this is the Japanese version meeting girls in Hostess bars.
At night the monks turn into playboys when they pull out of their secret garage in their sports cars to go on the hunt for local women. They usually boast about how many foreign countries they’ve been to.
Haha interesting topic Meshida San. I have personal Obo-San friend from Kyoto. He doesn't eat meat or drink but gah damn he rich! No lie, In 2018 I went to visit him in Kyoto. We ended up at Hostess club in Gion!😂😂😂 however he's very down to earth and humble as well. He took me to Kiyomizudera as well and we drove up the hill and didn't have to walk those steep and slippery streets lol.
I visited Eheiji Temple in Fukui a few months ago and paid my respects to its founder, Zen master Dogen. His remains there serve as a memory of his work. I watched a movie about him where Orin, a little girl that he helped, eventually became a prostitute when she turned into an adult. Despite this, Dogen allowed her to follow him to Eheiji. When her baby died, she urged Dogen to bring her back to life. But he responded by telling her to find a household where no one has ever died. She came back empty-handed, of course, since everyone eventually dies. With this, she realized that she is not alone in experiencing suffering. At Dogen's death bed, he allowed her to ordain. Indeed, those who are marked as "evil" deserve the time and compassion of monks.
Meshida San, you are correct. I live in Honolulu among Buddhist monks in Honolulu and hope you open a temple here. After all, karma never fails to be interesting 😅
In modern today, some scam artists impersonate fake monks to scam innocent bystanders into donating money while exchanging fake sutras. I've seen around somewhere in NYC, California, England, Australia and Canada.
Really??? I've heard about this happening occasionally in Tokyo _(I heard that the scam sometimes goes so far as to con tourists into joining a cult!)_ ...but I wasn't aware it spread to the US! 😲
@@feral_shade is an actual monk who never wanders around in the city to have fun. They have committed spiritual wisdom only by following Buddhist law and wandering around in a monastery.
@@RC-1138 thank you for the compliment!! But that was only true of my seclusion in my 20s (minus the monastery or Buddhism). Since then my spiritual fountain has dried up and I'm just a hikikomori zombie 🧟♀️ I'm not sure I can put this into words, but I'll try. When I was younger, I did a lot of reflecting and eventually arrived at several epiphanies about humanity and the universe. But I lacked an "inner spark" that would otherwise sustain my journey. and the emptiness was filled with insecurities and a glutinous desire for "how". Which I naturally indulged in. The spiritual truths that I'd previously arrived at became corrupted by knowledge. I began to understand things that should never be understood. I'm not saying I know everything--far from it--but I learned things that are supposed to remain mysteries. This caused the emptiness in me to spread and consume every layer of my being, until, to me, there was no difference between life and death. So now I'm just waiting for the clock to stop. So, in a matter of speaking, I can understand why some monks become corrupted. Some of them may have run out of faith, and are looking for any kind of desire to serve as a distraction from the pain of its loss.
Not different from "real" religious people. They are also scamming innocent people into donating money with absurd lies about an all powerful, all knowing man living in the sky.
Interesting video, I guess even monks enjoy attention from beautiful women. I'm surprised Ken-San actually sings well 😂. Thanks for another great video 🎉
Meshida sensei it's very confusing it's monk as in buddhist monk and not priest as in shinto priest right? I mean both temple and shrine also have osaisen CMIIW.
It's funny how stereotypes which apply to western priests also apply to japanese monks. It would be funny if they also like children (in the wrong way) as well
The funniest joke I've heard on this channel is the one he tells at the end of every video about donating to his Patreon. He KNOWS the demographic of his viewership.
0:08 In history of Japanese people there were short period when people couldn't gave money to gods, neither monks or shrines could get money from their visitors: the moment untill USA's and USSR's governments agreed to deportate Japanese from South Sakhalin to Japan(against will of local managers, which which were in urgent need of workers, that they prevented return of Koreans to Korea). Monks were told by propaganda that atheist state of USSR will unalive the monks and blow up the shrines. It was not true, because they were employed by state and remained their job. SU which liberated people from oppression of capitalism among other things closed all brothels and hostess clubs, as part of women's liberation. Miners organised several strikes against closing aforementioned businesses!😂 Where else in the world strikes' reason could be closure of brothel? 😆 (In Russian Empire, notwithstanding the stories about traditional values of the past, the brothels were consecrated by priests 🤣)
Well that was really funny. Also thanks to your countries shows I knew that already. But your comments made me laugh. Also the so did Ken's scene. But what was up with him singing in the snow? He shouldn't be doing that it's not safe. Also the one thing you forgot to mention is that while the monks are saving your hostess clubs it's guys like me that are saving your country by making babies with your women. Also that's not a lie I plan on at the moment making 20.
@@ilvpowerrangers wait so both of you work...and with the high combined income you're suggesting, I'm guessing one (or both) of you put in a ton of hours (more than the really high norm of Japanese business culture) So I'm inclined to ask who in the world is going to raise 20 kids...but I guess the more pressing question is how you"re going to make them in the first place. Most parents would probably tell you that the stress of dealing with kids kind of kills the mood, lol
I can’t remember his name but there’s a famous monk of zen linage that was none for his time in brothels and bars he was considered crazy wisdom monk that why I think some of these zen monks are ok with this
@@intuitivesean443 I saw the post you were referring to. Jiraiya sama was a main character in a series of graphic novels in 1839. ...based on a legend from Song-era China. I think the idea of the hedonistic monk is a lot older than that though. I thought it might be a reference to Zhuge Liang (Han dynasty China), but that turned out to be fiction too _(Romance of the Three Kingdoms)_ so I dunno 🤷♀️
Donation boxes exist outside Hindu temples too and are tax free. Many Hindu temples are super-rich. V.S. Naipaul, the Nobel Prize winner, wrote about India as being full of cunning priests, rich temples and poor devotees.😂😂
@@feral_shade Actually true. They might be reincarnated as priests in their next birth and then take huge donations to make others priests in their next lives and the cycle goes on.
The monks are so nice to share the money with the hostesses

How do you think karaoke started?
...it was "monks" chanting digital sutras 😂😂
Monks spending money in Hostess Clubs?! WTF?!?!
They r not spending it, out of generosity they r sharing it with the lovely hostesses
Sharing with the less fortunate 🙏📿
Being a monk is regarded as a job.
What..?
I get it. Japanese monks are like jedi. They can indulge as long as they do not get attached.
May the osaisen be with you.
I already thought monks were cool, but I didn’t know that they were also…men of culture.
Japanese monks are officially the coolest.
A Japanese friend told me some years back that monks are who have the _real_ money in Japan, way more than doctors and even pretty high-level attorneys.
Legit monks are supposed to live a minimalist lifestyle.
Other monks are called 'corrupted monks'.
That's one way of giving back to society of sorts.........
Monks use that money in hostess clubs, in the hope of opening the sacred gateway to paradise...
Some years ago there were Buddhist monks in Thailand caught putting on military uniforms so they could meet girls, so this is the Japanese version meeting girls in Hostess bars.
Another banger of a video! I literally had no idea... LOL
Always love your contents Meshida-san
My favorite Monk of all time is Jiraiya Sama (Ero Sennin)
Even the monks have lust in their hearts....
👀😳🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️
This is spot on 😂😂😂
Wow, the more i learn about Jp the more surprise i get specially like this topic

They are, giving away their money to the poor hostess. 😂
