are these temples self-sufficient economically or they rely on help of gov't?

[sillypanda85]

@nosorog91 I'm really not sure... good question! This temple does not charge admission (most don't) so it might rely on donations.

[nosorog91]

@sillypanda85 do you know if foreigner who wants to practise buddhism can become a monk in this temple or another?

[sillypanda85]

@nosorog91 Yes, I knew a (Canadian? or American) monk in Daejeon.
