Famous Temple in Japan Donates Two Million Bath to Help Thai Flood Victims.

A monk from Wat Paknum receives 5 million yen from the Shinnyo-en Temple in Japan to help the flood victims in Thailand.

On November 4th the Shinnyo-en temple of Japan, which has more than one million members around the world, donated 5 million Yen (2 million Thai Baht) to Somdej Pramaharatchamungkarajarn, Archilmandrite of Wat Paknum Paseajareun. The 5 million yen donation was handed to the monk personally by Keishu sama, head of the Shinnyo-en temple, Japan to help the temple and the flood victims in Thailand.
Somdej Pramaharatchamungkarajarn remarked, “Wat Paknum and the Shinnyo-en temple have had a good relationship for 50 years. I am thankful for being allowed to visit the Shinnyo-en temple, and I appreciate that Keishu sama has donated money to support the flood victims. This donation reflects the sincerity of all of their Buddhists. Many people have had to leave their homes since they are under the water. I believe that when the Thai people receive this help from the Shinnyo-en temple, it will relieve some of their suffering. As a representative of the Thai people, I would like to thank the Japanese people who have demonstrated great generosity to the Thai people on during this crisis.”
Keishu sama said, “The Shinnyo-en temple has heard the news from media that Thailand was experiencing a flood disaster. We thought that we should donate money to help the victims by giving this amount to Somdej Pramaharatchmungkarajarn. He will manage this money for helping the temple and people.”
