About monk –part 1-

This report explains on the theme of monk. Only a vague image will appear, even if it is said what monk is.However, it can be said to be since the name of monk is various according to a case.
First, a Buddhist priest is also called a "priest."Although it is a priest's definition, the person who forsook the world and returned to 僧門, and its group are pointed out.
 In Sanskrit, a group is called sanga. It is transliterated with a samgha, a priest method, and a priest, and has resulted to the present. In the Gautama Buddha era, when the samgha called it the priest, he pointed out four or more male priests' group. Also in one person's case, after Buddhism is introduced into China, it comes to call it a priest, and it could be said that Japan was also subject to this influence. According to the grade, a priest adopts various ways of being called soon. However, all serve as a priest to Kozo like Daisojo or Ikkyu.And all the Buddhist priests can call it "the pupil of the direct descent from God."Although Buddhistic 3 pillars are "the Buddha, law, and a priest", those who spread the Buddhism, and those who self-train are called a "priest" and a "samgha."
Now, although a "Buddhist priest" is the name which came out of the priest, the priest who plays the role which manages a temple and it maintains as you know   It is called a chief priest.This chief priest is an abbreviation of "jujishoku."Juji has a meaning of "protecting Buddhism carefully and maintaining it." and "the person of the job which protects the instruction of the Buddha carefully and maintains it" -- it is a chief priest.The chief priest built the temple at last as a dwelling in the zone of a self-temple, and that was called "Bo."Since it is the Lord, it is a "priest."From this, it will be said that it was not called a Buddhist priest in the first stage other than the chief priest.It is after medieval times that a Buddhist priest came to point out the whole priest.Language, such as a "shaven head", a "sticker-at-nothing", a "late riser", will be soon produced one after another also among the populace at large.The priest can imagine for a Japanese that it was an existence always required close that time so much.
