The birth of strange statues repent
According to Abbot Thich Tam Hoan, then around 1670, this time Buddhism in the period of decline, the monks were miserable because of that their existence is not beneficial to society, the Buddhist monks and the temple are both lazy and dull to live on the generosity of people, waste of wealth.
