○うんざりする boring

3)Are there any feelings in Japanese that cannot be translated into English?

☆Class #2 Buddhism ☆
I have no religion. However, Buddhist monks visited my homes to recite sutras at the home altars when my grandfather died. We visit graves and make offerings of flowers and incense. I also go to a temple to worship every year on New Year's Eve. It may be that I thought we are Buddhist. However, it just doesn't matter if we make a money offering and pray to God in shrines. We don't know why do our do it, but it is our long-established customs. We depend on Buddhism in spite of ourselves.
