Chapter 749: Charitable Fund
Su Wen received a call from Xingfa, learned what was happening at the foot of Hengshan Temple, and said, "This matter can be decided by Senior Brother Seng Man." ”
After hanging up the phone, Su Wen looked at a piece of paper in his hand, on which was the process of creating a charitable foundation.
Charitable foundations are divided into two types: public funds and non-public funds. Within the Xinhua Empire, there are now more than 100 charitable fund groups, of which the public funds are only the public funds of the royal family and several other public funds with the background of the state, and the others are all non-public funds.
Su Wen didn't care about this.
Non-public funds can also accept donations, but they cannot raise donations in public.
The foundation that Su Wen envisioned would no longer raise donations in public, and it would accept donations from ordinary people after the temple provided a sum of money to set up the foundation.
Read everything on the paper before putting it aside.
After reading this, Su Wen remembered one thing, that day outside Jincheng, when the dead soul was leaving, he said that he had a batch of buried items.
Those things are also a waste of being put in the ground, so it is better to take them out and exchange them for money and inject them directly into the foundation, which can also help some people in need.
After recalling it carefully, he took a pen and wrote down the address on a piece of paper, folded it and put it aside, and handed it over to Xing Xing Xing to take out the items tomorrow.
After breakfast the next morning, Su Wen called the precepts aside and handed the paper to the two: "This is a batch of ownerless treasures, the specific number is not clear, you two take them out." ”
"This was discovered by Master Pure Lotus during his night tour?" The two of them asked curiously. The last time Jinglian Night Tour directly witnessed a robbery and murder case, and the discovery of a batch of treasures was also circulated among the disciples in the temple, both of them had heard about it, so Su Wen asked the two to take out the treasure and directly associated it together.
"Not this time." Su Wen shook his head and chuckled. "No need to ask, you two just go and get it back."
"Yes." The two of them answered the call and went back to prepare things to go down the mountain.
After the two left, Su Wen came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
At this time, the pavilion was still full of people, some reading Buddhist texts and some reading other books.
Many of the faithful and the sick people at the foot of the mountain come here to read books when they have nothing to do, and there are still very few places to spare after the expansion of the pavilion.
Usually you have to come in the morning to occupy the space, and if it is late, it will be full.
At this time, a person was standing beside Jinglian with a book and asking questions, and Su Wen walked over after Jinglian finished answering the man's leave.
"Master Pure Lotus."
"I've seen the abbot." Jinglian stood up and saluted.
"Master Jinglian, I came here today to discuss something, so I might as well move outside and talk." Su Wen smiled.
"Okay."
When the two of them came out of the Scripture Pavilion, Su Wen said to Jinglian: "The treasures found by the old master have been auctioned off before, and a total of nearly 50 million has been obtained, and the temple has made up some to 50 million, and is ready to set up a charitable fund in the name of the master to help those in need."
Does Master Pure Lotus have any ideas, and what kind of foundation is this foundation responsible for? ”
Jinglian stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, he knew what Su Wen meant, 50 million seemed like a lot, but in fact it was not much. A part of it should also be used for investment to derive interest, so that the foundation can continue to exist for a long time.
Otherwise, it's a one-shot deal. Even if there are other people's donations, it is difficult to sustain them for a long time.
In such a situation, it is necessary to choose a targeted group of people, such as poor children going to school, helping the disabled, and helping some sick patients.
"Even if the name of the old monk is forgotten, I am so old, it doesn't matter if I want to be famous, as long as I can really help some people, I am already satisfied. But don't you have any idea about the scope of charitable foundations? Jinglian asked with a smile.
"This batch of treasures was discovered by the old mage, so naturally it should be based on the mage's opinion. There are so many people in need of help in the world, how can a poor monk decide which one to help and which not to help? Su Wen Zhengse said.
"The abbot is a little embarrassed for me, and the teacher doesn't know anything about these things." Jinglian shook her head slightly.
"The poor monk will ask him to send the list of the current domestic foundations to the old mage in a while, and the old mage can refer to it." Su Wen thought for a moment and said.
Jinglian nodded: "Then there is Abbot Lao." ”
Su Wen chatted with Jinglian for a few more words, then went back to the monk's house and took a piece of paper full of the list of charitable funds for him to send to Master Jinglian, which was collected together with the application process for the charity fund, and it was just right to use at this time.
That night, Jinglian found Su and asked, "Abbot, the old monk has an idea about this matter. ”
"Old Mage, please speak." Su Wen said.
"It covers children who are born or acquired blind to restore their sight. Life is not easy in the world, and we must let them see the light. If you can, help some children with disabilities. Jinglian said.
Su Wen nodded slightly, he didn't have any opinion on this idea. "Then it's as the old mage said."
Jinglian smiled slightly and said, "Then the rest of the matter will be arranged by the abbot, and there is no need to inform the old monk." ”
The next day, Su Wen handed over the matter to Xinghui to run these things, after all, there were still some complicated procedures to be done.
And the 50 million funds were all transferred to an account as the foundation of this foundation.
This matter was thrown aside, and he did not ask more questions about other matters, and handed them over to the disciples in the monastery to deal with, and he went back to the monastic house for retreat, and did not come out of the monastic house until seven days later.
This retreat didn't make any progress, it just strengthened itself.
And the day before he came out, Seng Man also returned to the temple.
After knowing the news of Su Wen's exit, he came to see Su Wen with Xingfa.
"Senior Brother Seng Man, what's going on?" Su Wen asked with a smile after seeing the two of them.
"It should be done." Monk Man nodded and said.
The day before Seng Man came back, William came to the foot of Hengshan Temple again after healing his arm, but this time he no longer paid attention to the people of Hengshan Temple, but specially looked for Seng Man.
He couldn't believe that he would lose to a monk who was so much thinner and shorter than himself.
This time, he completely regarded Seng Man as an opponent at the same level, and he didn't have the slightest carelessness, but this time he lost even worse than last time, and he was directly twisted and his arm was broken.
This time, William's arm didn't get better in a few months, and it would take longer to get back to his original level.
After hearing this, Su Wen nodded slightly.
After the two left, Su Wen wanted to ask how the matter of practicing the precepts was going, but found that the two had not returned after a week.
