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.
