Ginza monk

I wonder how much the Buddhist monk collects in donations ?

Way too much.

A better image of the woman running across the road would have been much nicer.

Tokyo is out in full force to collect money for the Olympics.

I run fast when I see money beggars too.

I can't give you any change. Change only comes from within.

Sounds like peddling to me.

This reminds me of how money is the only thing that keeps me from having a fulfilling life...

Don't get deceived. They are not true buddhism monks. They pretend to be monks and cheat money from people. They are organized swindlers.

No they are not organized swindlers. The monk who can't speak japanese dressed in orange in Asakusa, asking money n English exclusively to tourists for an orphanage in Myanmar, this guy is a fraud.
