This Buddhist Monk Is a Celebrity Makeup Artist 

James charles has nothing against this guy

A lot of people in the comments are confused about how a Buddhist monk can be a gay makeup artist whose parents are married monks, and it's because their preconceived notions of what Buddhist teachings are. The fact is there are many sects of Buddhism in Japan that have follow different teachings, and this should have been cleared up at the beginning of the video.

He can be a monk. He can be a makeup artist. He can be gay. He can be anything he wants. Thats human being. And thats beautiful.

This warm my heart because he is not afraid of showing his true self and thats cool

Ok but his outfit is fire

This is what I called religion, helping others with your skills.

Can we give james charles’s entire career to this guy instead?

That title has a combination of words that I never expected to see together Awsome

Why can't we have calm and talented beauty gurus like this wonderful person instead of the talentless loud ass obnoxious ones always diving into drama and chaos?

So soft-spoken, I love that.

ahhh such a genuinely sweet person

I love Buddhism for this very reason. They don’t judge, they love with no conditions.

I am a very reformist person myself but something in monks getting married and living a worldly life just doesn't sit well with me. Why be a monk when you can as well lead a worldly life? That defeats the very purpose of a monk

Such a gentle soul, i wish him nothing but positivity in his life ❤️

This guy’s cool! Respect

In Asian society to be gay is frowned and intolerable. His release valve was the United States. - Kudos you are the Change.

Category is Holy and Fierce Monk: trample over my enlightening grace, evil doers begone equality for all.

I love how calm and kind his spirit is. I hope he makes it far. He geninuely seems like a beautiful person inside out.

Buddhism does not limit salvation to sexuality but there are rules that the sangha must obey. By not aligning themselves to this, one cannot be a true monk. It almost appears that this monk only performs rituals and not cultivate. What use is a man whose body is wearing the robes of the monk but his heart yearns for other men and makeup. If he wants to be a monk he should dedicate his life to dharma. But probing into the role of Japanese monks will only open up a can of worms about Japanese society and Buddhism. Amitabha, this truly is the Dharma Ending Age. 🙏🏻

A character that i never imagined

That was wonderful! Thank you for sharing this great story!

He's just STUNNINGLY beautiful and a highly skilled makeup artist. Well done to him for expressing himself in a VERY conservative country of Japan 👏🏼🥰👏🏼🥰👏🏼🥰👏🏼🥰👏🏼

His beautiful and am glad he chose to go with what was in his heart 👍💕

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

The coolest and most inspiring thing I've seen in my past three years.

Wow. I enjoyed this story and video.

I'm buddhist and i'm pansexual, and it's okay to love whoever i love, that's something i learnt from buddhism

In Japan there are many Buddhist sects with different teachings, at first you may associate the monk hood by rules such as celibacy, no earthly desires, etc. In some particular Buddhist Sects in Japan, some sects allow their disciples to marry, for the sole purpose of reproducing, or are open about having some disciples to freely choose their sexuality, and have their own personal beliefs and freedoms. These rules are quite different from most other teachings of Buddhism, such as, Theravada (Mostly in South-East Asia), Mahayana Buddhism (Mostly China, Taiwan, Korea), and Vajrayana Buddhism (Mongolia, Tibet, Nepal, Myanmar), whilst Japan follow Chan/Zen Buddhism which derived from Pure Land Buddhism from China. I hope this clears up any confusion, you may ask me further questions.

YESSSS!!! THIS IS AMAZING. Il a prouvé que, peu importe qui vous êtes ou ce que vous êtes censé être, vous avez toujours la chance de vous sentir aimé et apprécié. J'adore ça.

A good way to go! Feels fun to see this kind of chance, as a Buddhist myself, that Buddhism was not as old-fashioned and restricting, that uniqueness is OK. Best of luck for him.

This guy seems awesome. I’m glad he can be true to himself and do something he loves ❤️

He’s really handsome and cute 💕 Love his personality, I would love to have a friend like him~😄

Wonderful encouragement ⭐️⭐️💐

Great story! This makes me feel very happy :)

Woah. I love this

Wait a minute... In the video he said that both of his parents are monks! How?! Monks can get married and have kids now? I’m just Confused here....

Buddhist monks fully attached to ego, what a time to be alive.

Best of both worlds

Imagine going to the temple for support in your life because you're on a low and this monk comes by and delivers a bit of beauty and self confidence back to you.

When he said make people feel worthy I felt that. 😢😢
