Next, in many ways, you don't often see a Chief attending prayers for devotees personally and lastly, he speaks a little English which gives many English speaking Buddhist a way to communicate directly with him. I don't know him personally, but I do admire his seriousness in attending request for blessing and moreover, I think I have been blessed by him a couple of times for some occations during last 15 years and this was the first time, I had a direct conversation with him where he has helped a great deal in explaining some unanswered questions that has kept lingering in my mind relating to this temple.
