MYSELF Growing up near Boudha and pashupati, Ive seen a lot of people giving donation to Priests and lamas to perform rites and pujas blessings etc AND Ive seen  how stinking rich they have gotten in time, all thanks to  our cultural tradition where we believe that we need to spend money for Daan and dharma. Like its a ticket to heaven for people who donate large sums to Gods, It still amazes me that NO matter how many beggars and Kids, hungry and crying outside and around the temple, they ignore pain and suffering all around yet dont stop to see a hungry kid crying, begging for love and food. Yes PIRE bro its non of our concern, its their money and they have a right to believe and spend anyways they want. I dont think people are angry that people are donating money,  But are raising a valid issue. Looks like the amount they collected could easily build a couple good schools and feed the thousands of hungry mouth in Nepal.  And even open a real dedicated Nepali help center  when tragedy strikes for example if an only son studying here in America dies help his family with the Body and money .Thats all Pire bro, no matter how many Temples they build here I dont think it will be enough to bring some Nepal here for our Kids.  I am a father and I face the same dilema BUT education starts at home bro.  OUR culture is deep rooted in all of us, a religion driven by daan dakshina blessings, puja hom etc towards prosperity is just not good in my eyes .BUT you are very right to say that people have a right to donate where ever.  Thats all. dine le di sakyo bro kura sakyo
