Re: Konnichiwa Minna-san! + Poll

Kasumi-san SG

Hello, everybody. I want to apologise for my rude behavior last time around. But I believe that you should apologise too, you compared me to some fake guy who was from Spain or something, and I think I deserve an apology.

I moved away from Tokyo after a very painful end to the relationship with my boyfriend, and am now in the small Buddhist city of Nara. I decided that I would join a Buddhist temple there, possibly a Tendai temple, which allows female monks, and be a female monk or even teacher there.

For those of you who still doubt me, what can I say? I know that this Cortez guy has given foreigners a bad name in Singapore, but at least take into consideration that not all of us are faking. And about how people address themselves not with -san in Japan, that is when you are speaking. And usually in old Japanese only. In slang Japanese, you can say that.

And PLEASE do not comment badly about His Majesty. Like someone brought up in the old topic, it's like saying something bad to a Thai person about their king. Except our emperor is part of our religion, which makes him very important to us. And when you were saying that Japanese youth are unpatriotic and don't care, that's a rude stereotype and should be erased.

Yes, 99% of Japanese youth could care less about the Emperor and about 30% of that number might not even know what He looks like, a small 3% might not even know that there is an Emperor of Japan. Criticise our prime minster, but please, I am Shinto, the person who binds our religion together is the Emperor.And I love my country, that is why I study it.

And yes, where I used to live in Tokyo was full of shops and stuff like that. Closest to Shinjuku is an apartment complex(es). I'm not saying I lvied right on the street, and right at the epicenter of it, but I lived a llittle aways from it. I only gave East Shinjuku because it was the closest to where I lived, and I thought that since most Singaporeans dont' know much about Japan, it would help.

I have read over Cortez's stuff, and he seems like a fake. But I am not. I am from Japan, I am Japanese. I know foreigners are somewhat persecuted in Singapore (and in Japan) but please take into consideration that just because ONE person is a fake doesn't mean that every person who is not like you and not from SIngapore is a fake.

NOW, the poll:

Since I am going to be going to a Tendai Female Monastery in Nara, I thought I would have a little fun before I left. Since, Buddhism isn't really for pervertetness (sp?) I thought that I would just ask a poll: Don't flame, remember what you read above:

GUYS ONLY PLEASE: What was your most recent masterbation session? Describe in detail, I want some fun before the Tendai monks lock me up. Sad

Gassho everyone!

Hi Kasumi-san,

u seem to be an authentic Japanese compared to that darn silly Mr Cortez or more commonly known as Cotex. But most of us just can't understand your fascination with knowing bout our masturbation habits. Do u use it as self-stimulant in your DIY session?

Maybe u can do with some professional help la. How bout joining Sex Anonymous? U have those in Japan i hope. Wink

boy in blues SG

don't become a nun. you studied until university and aspired to become a teacher. now this rash decision is unecessary.

Kasumi-san SG

Thanks cooleo. Smile

Yeah, I do actually. I want to masterbate as much as I can before I go to the temple and such, so I will use it as a self-stimulant. Smile Twisted Evil

Do you prefer to not answer the poll and help me out? Very Happy

monk?
well if u really wanna be a monk, u shouldn't be asking...
u should have pure thoughts...

Kasumi-san SG

I dunno if I should be a monk completely yet. Of course, the way you guys were so mean to me last time, I gave up the dream of moving to Singapore, though I still consider it. And since Buddhism is so liberal in Japan, its easy to have dirty thoughts and then become a monk. Very Happy

So answer kudasai!

kasumi san..honma ni toudaisei? Twisted Evil

cooleo SG

Buddhism is liberal in Japan? Why is that so? Maybe u can explain in further details?

Confused

Kasumi-san SG

Well, the largest sect of Buddhism in Japan is True Pure Land Buddhism, or Jodou Shin-shu. It's a sub-sect of the Amida Cult, more popularly known as Pure Land Buddhism, the mainstream of Mahayana Buddhism, the opposite of Buddhism in Singapore, which is the more cultarally Indian Hinayana sect. Ours is more Chinese.

In Jodo Shin-shu, we are the only sect which have abandoned going to a monastery. We do not have to shave our heads, and monks can marry and do anything they please.

My parents were Jodou Shin-shu, but recently I decided to convert to Tendai. Tendai is more conservative, and has a monastery, etc. But even in Tendai, you can have vulgar thoughts. Smile

Wunming, please answer. Smile

I can say what that means, if you don't believe I'm Japanese. You said:

kasumi san..honma ni toudaisei?

Kasumi san - my name Very Happy
honma - truth
ni - date
toudaisei - a student at Tokyo University

Hai, watashi wa toudaisei desu ne.

Dear Kasumi-san, i've read up on your past posts. I beleive every word that you say about you being from Japan, and not some impostor. I'm rather impressed by the culture you have in Japan. Its amazing diversity. These are my honest opinions.

I'm know how you feel being misunderstood by people. Though i have not posted in your previous threads. After going through it, i would like to convey my apologies from the kind of feebback you recieved. I would feel angry too if people casted doubts on me no matter how sincere i could prove myself to be.

I really hope you would consider the part about returning back to Japan. Because its people like you who give our country its diversity.

I just want to wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Sorry, but i dun wish to do the poll part, some other time perhaps.

Very Happy

Kasumi-san SG

Thank you so much, ditzy!

That was really nice of you, and I may really reconsider moving to Singapore. But what sects of Buddhism are there? Are there any Mahayana temples?

And guys, please answer the poll! Smile

Kasumi-san SG

ditzy SG

You are most welcome. Regarding your questions on religion here, I can't really answer you fully. But we have a wide diversity of religions here even if there are minorities. As for me, I'm a free thinker.

With regards to your poll, most singapore guys are still pretty shy and conservative about revealing such info. Although sometimes they do brag abit, but they are pretty clear to what extent they must stop. I could be wrong on that part, but its just my personal opinion.

torx SG

hmmm.. this may be a bar, but we arnt that open enough i guess. Since it'll probably spoil our reputation, which many of us have spent many post to create it. I suggest you go sites like sammy boy (Im not sure of link, maybe someone can help you with it) or give us your email so we can tell you our private "adventures" without it going all over the net..

anyway, good luck to you in finding the way. Wink

I moved away from Tokyo after a very painful end to the relationship with my boyfriend, and am now in the small Buddhist city of Nara. I decided that I would join a Buddhist temple there, possibly a Tendai temple, which allows female monks, and be a female monk or even teacher there.

just curious.. why be a nun just because of a relationship Question oh, by the way, is there anymore samurai-do in japan anymore? Course i really want to learn it.

[email protected] SG

this really dun sound good to me...
i am not comfortable answering this poll. esp in light of the way u link it to religion.
and i hope u can have more respect for buddhism, becos i feel its improper to talk about wanting to be a nun on one hand and then talk about masturbation on the other.
