After 27 years, I receive a letter of repentance…
※ Jajangam of Tongdosa Temple in Yangsan-si, Gyeongsangnam-do recently opened a donation box.
a bucket
I found a thick envelope containing 2 million won in cash in 50,000 won denominations along with a handwritten letter.
※ The person who wrote the letter without leaving his name was a person who suffered hardships for the entire nation due to the foreign exchange crisis.
In 1997, the International Monetary Fund (
IMF
) I remember visiting the hermitage and emptying the donation box during my days.
As I remembered this, I wrote a letter of repentance.
After serving as the abbot of Tongdosa Temple, he is now a Buddhist monk living at Jajangam Temple.
Monk Hyeonmun came across a handwritten letter and cash sent by the subject of this letter.
People around him who live at Tongdosa Temple said that he was very moved.
※ In particular, the warm news at the end of the letter made Monk Hyeonmun even more heartbroken.
At the end of the letter
“I’m going to have a baby soon, and I want to be a proud and wonderful father to my baby.
I was so thankful to the monk that day. “I’m sorry again,” he concluded.
A Jajang-am official said, “The monk cherished this heart-warming handwritten letter and
“With a light heart, I wished the protagonist that he would now become a proud and wonderful father.”
