Dear Bulja Nims,

How are you all? I appreciate your frequent questions and kind concern regarding how donations are transferred to Won Kwang Sa Temple. I have enclosed the copy of the bank book we use, as well as provide the information below.

As you may know, registering a corporate entity like a temple in Korea for a bank account is a complicated and laborious process. The fact that the temple itself is not within Korea adds to the difficulty.

I was advised that I should register under my passport name (Viragh Szabolcs) and add Won Kwang Sa Temple as a beneficiary. I did so, and thus our generous donors can transfer their donations using the temple name, however, they receive a portion of my passport name on their bank account statements.

This seems to work for everyone involved so far and I hope that it receives your understanding and support as well. Please see the attached file for reference.

If you have any further inquiries in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our financial manager in Korea, Ms 백주영 Bosal Nim via claudiabaek@gmail.com or 010-8273-7979

Thank you for your continued support and looking forward to meeting you in Korea or in Hungary.

Sincerely in the Dharma,

Chong An
