[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) announced on the 28th that the Seongbuk-gu Saam Federation (Chief Monk Sangyeon · Dabuljeongsa) donated masks for the prevention of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) to help neighbors in need.


Despite the difficult conditions caused by the nationwide spread of COVID-19, the Seongbuk-gu Saam Federation, which has been practicing the Buddha's compassion, made this mask donation by members pooling their intentions together to contribute to the spread of a culture of neighborly love in the local community. The district office, which received the masks, plans to prioritize distributing them to neighbors facing livelihood difficulties due to COVID-19.


The Seongbuk-gu Saam Federation also donated 15 million won in cash in March to support local residents struggling with COVID-19, continuing their practice of neighborly love by delivering these masks consecutively.


Chief Monk Sangyeon (President of Seongbuk-gu Saam Federation) said, "I pray for the COVID-19 crisis to end as soon as possible and hope that all citizens will unite with the Buddha's bright and righteous compassion to wisely overcome this national crisis."



Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, expressed his thoughts, saying, "Although there were difficulties in suspending Buddhist ceremonies due to COVID-19, I thank the chief monks of the Seongbuk-gu Saam Federation for actively participating in social distancing. I believe that the warm generosity donated with a compassionate heart will give hope during these difficult times. We will do our best to overcome COVID-19 by uniting all residents and to restore daily life as soon as possible."
