January 16th "First Enma/Enma Trial Day"
July 1st: "First Day of the Kamabuta"
It is said that this day marks the beginning of Bon Festival, when the cauldron of hell opens and souls return to their descendants.
Below is the main text.
=======================================
"If you lie, Lord Enma will rip out your tongue!"
When I was young, I used to use phrases like this.
Has anyone ever been severely scolded by their parents?
Even if you think no one is watching when you do something bad
The Yama king knows all about it and will definitely punish you after you die! That's the thing.
Some of you may be like Santa Claus or something.
As an adult, I don't know what these mysterious things are.
Unconsciously, we think that if something doesn't exist in reality, it's not scary.
I wonder if there are people who think this way?
I think that's the reason why "adults can't see monsters"
With the development of science, humanity is gradually losing
"A precious legacy"I think so.
So, in order to gradually raise awareness of yokai,
Here's an anecdote from a folk tale:
Recently (although it's been quite a while)
I think many people know him because he appeared in a taiga drama.
Naoe Kanetsugu, a staff officer to Uesugi Kenshin, with the inscription "Love" on his helmet.
It wasn't mentioned in the drama.
There is an anecdote about Kanetsugu Naoe that is related to Yama (the truth of which is uncertain).
Yes, there is.
What about the famous Naoe Kanetsugu?"Bring back our dead."and
Apparently he submitted a petition to Lord Enma.
The story goes that Kanetsugu's retainer sentenced a servant to death for being rude.
The servant's family appealed, stating that the crime was not serious enough to warrant the death penalty.
When I looked into it, I found out that it wasn't actually that serious a crime.
So Kanetsugu tried to settle the matter by paying compensation.
Naturally, the bereaved family is not satisfied and demands "Give it back! Give it back!"
What do you think happened to the troubled Naoe Kanetsugu?
The heads of the three bereaved family members were chopped off and hung on the riverbank.
To the Lord Enma"I'm going to put these things to use, so give us back our dead!"
Apparently they even attached a letter and a sign as a warning!
This is too bad. I'm sorry if I ruined the image.
*The truth of this story is uncertain. The source is "Kemukasumi Kidan."
It's a terrible story, but Kanetsugu's cleverness is
There's nothing I can do about unreasonable demands
I didn't just snap his head.
They used Enma as a political tool.
Apologize for mistakes, but do not make unreasonable corrections
That"Admonition"I think so.
Whether Yama is here or not, if you disobey"You're going to die."and
As far as this episode goes
In those days, the people had a deep reverence for Yama.
I can see that.
This time,"Admonition"The word
This is the main theme.
In the past, if people did something bad or acted without due regard for their status,
There was a sense of tension that could lead to immediate death,
I think he was extremely conscious of the precepts.
Especially in modern times, the presence of Enma has faded.
There aren't many opportunities to discipline yourself.
・It's okay to ignore traffic lights.
・It's okay to drink and drive.
In this way, actions that do not discipline themselves are
People"hell"We will push it down.
So let me say this.
"Lord Enma actually exists."
···and
In fact, if bad things happen one after another,
Bad things will come back to you. This always happens.
Because there is Yama (self-discipline) to admonish oneself
I believe it is people that make a person a person.
Because Enma's presence is fading
The devil tempts us, saying, "Just a little, just a little," and we end up committing a sin.
So, ignoring science,
Always keep the presence of Yama in your heart
Penalize yourself for your laziness
Controlling myself. That's the kind of life I want to live.
When it comes to raising children
Mom and Dad will act as guardians until the child grows up.
In that case, in light of the above "self-reflection"
Rather than "giving" a penalty
It may be effective to "make them think of the penalty themselves."
Regarding the issue of corporal punishment that has been a hot topic in recent days,
Penalties are necessary, but they should not be given.
The instructor's role is simply to encourage students to realize their mistakes.
In order to grow, people who make mistakes need to look at themselves.
Isn't it important to impose penalties on yourself?
I think that hitting someone to make them realize it is already a double penalty.
That's why I'm cornered.
My daughter is only 2 years old, but she is starting to understand words.
Gradually, let them think for themselves about what is "bad."
I would like to teach you.
When someone gets angry at you
Be more angry at yourself than you are at the other person.
Those who wait until the threat is over and do not discipline themselves
Lord Enma is watching, so you will surely be rewarded.
Not after you die, but while you're alive.
===========================================
This time it wasn't a "yokai"...
Many of Japan's ghost stories use the emotion of "frightening and scary."
It forms an "order" that is unique to that place.
In other words, even though it was the cornerstone of order in Japan,
It would not be an exaggeration.
Japan is not a culture where children can grow up freely like in the West.
It is a culture of "admonishment" and "endurance."
Corporal punishment is no good, but if we learn from the failure of "relaxed education"
If we use the tenacity and precision that are unique to the Japanese as our weapons,
I believe we should not ease up on our strictness and harshness.
If there is nothing to be afraid of, but we ease up on the strictness...
You can probably guess what's going to happen.
