What part-time job could this priest be doing?
Many of Shinto’s 22,000 priests work in straightened circumstances. Their income from Shinto is not enough, and they are forced to do part-time jobs to survive. Some get by as best they can.
Britain’s Guardian newspaper carries a piece today about a possible role model….
“A Buddhist priest in Japan is breaking the mould by offering cocktails alongside prayers and sermons. Yoshinobu Fujioka hands out advice along with his ‘soul-cleansing’ cocktails, which include ‘perfect bliss’ and ‘infinite hell’. Japan’s religious leaders are concerned at the dwindling number of young people practising Buddhism.”
