[Photo] 'In Front of Jogyesa Temple, Nationwide Monks' Rally: Support or Oppose?'

On the 20th, a resignation banner of Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, was hung at Jogyesa Temple in Jongno-gu, Seoul. A citizen in front of the banner is holding a sign opposing the National Monk Conference. The Jogye Order has defined Jeong's derogatory remarks about the collection of cultural heritage admission fees and the government's support for the Catholic carol campaign as religious bias and distortion of Buddhism, and plans to hold the National Monk Conference at Jogyesa Temple on the 21st. / Reporter Moon Ho-nam munonam@
