The first half of his life is mercurial and indulgent in male color; In the second half of my life, I went my own way and was a maverick.
It is most appropriate to describe Setouchi's silence in this sentence, and you know that this person also has an identity--a nun who has been in the empty door for more than 40 years.
The Holy Land of Buddhism should be a quiet life of pure heart and widowhood, eating and praying to the Buddha, but she sings against people, still talking about "no love, no living", such a Buddhist disciple, but living into the "living Buddha" in the hearts of Japanese women.
Nuns who are obsessed with male sex become idols
The monks who escaped into the empty door should have guarded the green lantern ancient Buddha, fasted, and used the rest of their lives to chant the sutras, and mortals in the world would have a little awe when they saw this.
The nuns, like the monks, were all Buddhist disciples, cutting off their shawls and black hair, dressed in simple robes, and their hearts were empty, forgetting all the desires of the world.
Japan has such a nun, who sings against the Buddhist precepts, not only does not abstain from alcohol and meat, but mentions "male color" and talks about it: "The beauty of love lies in stealing affection, I am very, men should be careful." ”
A nun who has been in the air for more than 40 years, but she speaks such naked words, and her living habits are even more popular, she has compiled a book of what she has seen and heard, and she has also been awarded the National Cultural Medal by the Emperor of Japan.
Setouchi heard that her original name was Setouchi Harumi, before she became a family, she was a famous writer, but also a popular figure, who had been in love for many years, and finally lost under the feelings.
In 1973, when Harumi Setouchi was 51 years old, she already understood that love and love in the world could not satisfy her desires, and there was always a gap in her heart.
She understood that perhaps only seeking inner peace was the right path, and this year, Harumi Setouchi decided to shave her head, but the road was not smooth.
In her eyes, the first half of her life was colorful, except for writing, it was to talk about love, but the Buddhist family did not think so, and made this a reason to reject her.
She was puzzled, but there was nothing she could do. On November 14 of the same year, after being introduced by a friend, the monk Toko of the Tendai Sect's Nakazunji Temple was willing to take her in, and here she cut her hair as a nun and listened to the Dharma.
Why did the monk Tomi, who was a layman like Harumi Setouchi, be reluctant to take them in, so why did the Toko monks behave abnormally?
Coincidentally, the Toko monk is a famous novelist who had read many of her works before meeting Harumi Setouchi and gradually learned about her heart.
Listening to what the outside world said, Setouchi Harumi was looking for a monastery monk, and instead of being curious, he accepted her like a close friend.
The original meaning of "silent listening" is "renunciation is silent, but listen to the Sanskrit sounds", hoping that in the future days, I will no longer be entangled with the past and practice under the Buddha's door.
Originally, everyone thought that Setouchi would be devoted to the Buddha and eating fasting and chanting, but she did not maintain the style before she left home, and even had a more distinct personality.
Not only can he not stay in the monastery and practice peacefully, but he also does not abstain from drinking and meat, and he still talks about love and love: "Without love, you cannot live."
Before becoming a monk, he did not care about the eyes of the world, and bravely pursued true love; After leaving home, he still did not care about the eyes of the world, and as a novelist, he played around and participated in interviews.
In 1987, Setouchi became the head of Tendai-ji Temple, and her distinctive personality gradually became an idol of Japanese women.
In a variety show, Setouchi was filmed listening to the daily routine of the day, facing the camera, she did not hide it in the slightest, and ate the beef on the plate.
This act was accused by many people, who all came to rebuke her: How can the monks eat meat and not abide by the precepts of the Buddha's Gate, why should they escape into the empty door?
Setouchi didn't care, and shot back: When you take off your robe when eating meat, you become a layman's son, of course, you can eat meat.
She believes that as long as you have a Buddha in your heart, you can understand the Dharma, and you can learn something, and don't let the outside world's speech become a hindrance to life.
With such a dashing life, there is no second she can do in the world. In the interview, I did not shy away from the affairs of men and women, and expressed my personal opinion:
"Stealing love is the most wonderful place of love"
"Guarding only one person in a lifetime, it is always necessary to get tired of it for a long time"
Her remarks attracted many women, like her who dared to do something, there are very few in the world, and naturally they are all attractive.
As an independent female representative, her life was colorful. The first half of her life was in love, and the second half of her life was full of love, so that many of her remarks became golden sentences and inspired many people.
Some fans have bluntly said that Setouchi listened to the books he wrote and the remarks he made, so that he could find his true life and find himself, which can be described as a life mentor.
What kind of life did such a "flower nun" live before she became a monk? What ability does she have to earn the National Cultural Medal?
A series of emotional experiences
Born in May 1922 in Tokushima, Japan, Harumi Setouchi's parents ran a Buddhist supply shop for a living and followed her parents to worship the Buddha from an early age, which is why she chose the path of renunciation later.
When she was young, Qingmei's body was not tough, and when other children went out to play, she was often sick and had to stay at home obediently, and gradually developed a good habit of reading.
In 1943, Harumi graduated from Tokyo Women's University, and when she saw her daughter grow up, her father arranged a blind date for her and found a good son, and the marriage during the war was not decided by herself.
Her heart has long been deeply touched by the instrument teacher Sano Jun, fate loves Harumi, and the blind date that her father helps her find is Sano Jun.
Soon, the two were married. Due to her husband's job transfer, she needed to go to China Normal University to teach, and Qingmei followed her husband to China and gave birth to a cute baby girl the following year, which was also her only child in this life.
This period of living in China was later called the most beautiful day by Qingmei, and the husband and wife lived a particularly sweet and happy life when you sang me and my little days.
Unfortunately, in the years of war and chaos, a moment of stability is enough to be happy, even if you dare to try to be stable in the first life. Three years after coming to Beijing, war broke out, and the family of three wanted to secretly stay in China, but they were eventually found to have been deported.
In 1946, Harumi and Jun Sano returned to Tokushima, and in order to support their family, their husband asked someone to find a job in Tokyo, and it took a long time to return home.
Her husband works in a different place, and Harumi takes care of her children at home, so although such a day is comfortable, it is lifeless. Just as Harumi is upset with the status quo, a man named Othiko Kinoshita appears.
Kinoshita Oghiko, a former student of Sano Jun, came to visit her teacher at home, but she did not think that this encounter broke the original peaceful life.
Harumi, who lives alone with her daughter in Tokushima, first met Kinoshita Othiko, and the two developed a crush on each other, and they were overwhelmed.
In the process of getting along with Kinoshita Othiko, she gradually discovered that this man was so gentle, more like a confidant, that he could see through his own heart at a glance, which was very different from her husband.
The two of them began an underground affair that lasted for many years, and the more they couldn't get it, the more they wanted it, and this sentence was very correct, and Harumi could no longer hide her emotions.
Sano Jun works in Tokyo, but his wife falls in love with his students at home, and when he takes his wife and daughter to his side, Harumi is unable to extricate herself and pours out the truth.
The husband is ashamed and embarrassed by his wife's cheating on the student, and often beats up Qingmei to ease the suppressed anger in his heart.
In 1948, Harumi couldn't stand her husband's violence, abandoned her daughter, ignored it, and eloped with Kinoshita, who was 4 years younger than herself.
At this moment, Harumi's eyes and heart were all Kinoshita, and she did not want to listen to the outside world's words, and she plunged into Kinoshita's arms with joy.
During this time, In order to make a living, Harumi began to contact writing, and found a job at a newspaper, although her life was poor, she felt very happy when she thought of having Kinoshita around her.
In fact, Kinoshita did not have a stable job, nor money, all of which lived on the meager salary earned by Harumi, while Kinoshita wandered around all day and often went to the place where the bars were lit.
However, at this time, Qingmei couldn't care about whether she was right or wrong, and couldn't care about her daughter's crying behind her, but was all this really right? After the facts were verified, it was learned that Harumi's choice was very wrong.
The enthusiasm for the two eloping has not faded, and Kinoshita has cheated on a bar hostess. She thought Kinoshita was true love, and she thought Kinoshita was her everything, but the bubble would eventually burst.
A hypocrite like Kinoshita, who deceived Harumi by rhetoric, discarded it after winning it, and quickly chose the next "prey", he just liked freshness.
Qingmei has no choice in the face of reality, and it is still impossible to return to her husband's side, and she can only live alone. In 1950, Sano Jun and Harumi formally divorced, and there has been no intersection since.
The path of a first-class female writer
In fact, during this gray day, Harumi wanted to end her life several times. After tossing and turning back and forth a few times, she finally figured it out.
Even if the feelings are not smooth and they are deceived, life still has to go on, and you have to look up and look forward. Since you are divorced and betrayed, let's live the rest of our lives alone.
She continued to work in the newspaper, gradually showing a strong writing background, and began her writing career, which led to the meeting of the third important man in her life.
Writer Renjiro Kosugi is the editorial board of the "Writer" magazine, and the two people met because of literature and developed feelings, and it was the appearance of this man who completely changed Harumi's life and led her to the path of a first-class writer.
Unfortunately, XiaoYi is a husband with a wife, I don't know why, Qingmei's emotional path is always not smooth, but she is particularly insistent when she encounters love.
Even if the man in front of her has a wife who cannot be divorced, she is still willing to continue this unknown underground affair with Xiaoyi, and even lasted for up to 8 years.
Although XiaoYi is a husband with a wife, he is sincere to Qingmei, and in order to make her have a better development, he constantly expands the path for her and encourages her to devote herself to writing.
In 1956, Harumi published her first work, "Female College Student Qu Ailing", which when it came out, set off a storm that put her life on a higher level and won the New Wave Fan magazine award.
Since then, Harumi has become a real writer. Just when career and love seem to be smooth sailing, Qingmei's life has changed again.
Kinoshita may have seen Harumi's achievements now, found Harumi again, and wants to get back together. At this time, Harumi not only has money, but also has some power, like a successful woman's demeanor.
Kinoshita Othiko really has a set of "fooling people" skills, so that Harumi once again fell into the past, she did not really come out of that pain, Kinoshita hit her really hard.
Harumi's heart is shocked, she wants to forgive Kinoshita, but there is a small shirt on the other side, Andrami does not know what to choose, and wanders between the two.
When Kosugi saw this, he considered repeatedly choosing to quit, which was originally a shameful underground affair that should have ended long ago. So, Harumi threw herself into Kinoshita's arms again.
Kinoshita did not cherish this love affair, everything was greedy for profit, although Harumi had used all the fees earned from writing on Kinoshita, he was still not satisfied.
Not only did she spend Harumi's salary, but she also used all her savings to open a company for herself, and Kinoshita Ogino became the boss of the company.
After seeing that Harumi was unprofitable, he abandoned her again and slipped away. At this time, Qingmei's heart has been broken, and she can no longer find her once sincere self.
In 1963, she unabashedly recorded her emotional experience in "The End of Summer", which brought her to the status of the Women's Literature Award and secured the position of writer.
After experiencing three relationships, Qingmei has a unique view of love, and she believes that the most touching thing is "stealing love", which makes her truly appreciate the taste of love.
After that, Harumi still insisted on her unique view of love, she knew that she could only be loved by the minority, but she did not expect that she had become a first-class writer.
Influenced by the "obsessive writer" Niwa Fumio, her writing has gradually become explicit and bold, writing out what others dare not express, so she has become a popular writer in Japan.
Qingmei's writing path has reached its peak, fame and fortune, but after all, the lovers are a minority, and most people still can't accept it.
At this time, Harumi's writing style was questioned, and many authoritative experts thought that her work was unsightly and that her criticism was worthless.
When encountering this matter, it should have been handled calmly, but Qingmei was furious and criticized these authoritative experts, and the criticism quotations were even more unbearable.
The niche could not withstand the power of the masses, and Harumi's writing path was naturally hit hard, and Niwa Fumio saw it, and instead of comforting him, he also poured a large basin of cold water.
Fortunately, female readers who love Harumi's writing style are unanimous and have always supported her writing, they appreciate the emotions of Harumi's pen, and only in her pen can they find their true selves.
Although there is still a readership, Qingmei's heart has long collapsed, she can no longer believe the man's rhetoric, and she does not know whether to continue the road of writing.
In 1973, Harumi decided to shave her ordination. Kinoshita's results were so tragic that he was saddled with a huge debt that could not be repaid, and in 1991 he went to suicide.
In 1977, Nijiro Kosugi died of oral cancer. Everything has been decided, and at this time, Qingmei has embarked on the path of Buddhism, which is the right one.
