It is a shame for the temple to lose all the trust built up over the years. At first I thought, since the temple is such a closed world, I should keep quiet. But people depend on the temple. The monks have to be a model for the public, and Komatsu cannot be respected.

I always regarded myself as a monk, 24 hours a day.
