Continuing their tradition from last year, Manbulsa Temple is once again sharing rice this year, delivering warmth and compassion to the local community.

Monk Haesan said, "I hope that the small contributions made by the Buddhists, united in spirit, will become more than just a warm meal and serve as comfort and hope to neighbors in need."

In response, Hong Junggeun, Mayor of Anui-myeon, expressed, "I am deeply grateful to Monk Haesan and the temple members who consistently practice sharing for the community every year. The donated rice will be delivered with great care to neighbors in need, in line with the donor's wishes."
