EMERGENCY
HEALTH FUND:
Until recently, the
monastery has been providing 80% medical allowances to the monks who under go
medical treatment provided that they submit an original copies of their medical
bills and expenses. This allowance is made available to an individual monk after
every three months. This program has been very beneficial to the monks who
don’t have any money and who live solely on prayer offerings.
With increase in
population, illness like cold, stomach ulcer, jaundice, diarrhea are common and
some also undergo complicated heart surgery.
However for the last
few months, there has been decrease in the percentage provided because of
insufficient funds for this program and because of the many monks who have been
coming forward to claim this medical allowance. This meant that in the future,
many, many sick monks won’t be able to go to hospital as they won’t be able
to afford to do so.
The donations received
for this project will be kept in separate account and will be used for providing
medical allowance to the monks.
