A cute child's bowing made the everyone smile

Even though the contestants are Japanese and can read Thai a little, they tried to chant as best as they can with cheerful voice and mind.  Their will including their cuteness made the committees and attendants happy to see the little kids, who have potential to change the world in the future, doing good deeds together.

The V-Star kids never gave up because of the test

 

When they finished the practical tests, they did the theoretic test.  The children had got “The Master Nun who was second to none” book to read at their house before doing this test.  The test took 40 minutes and all children did it seriously and could do it good.  The test results would be announced a week later.  When the children finished all tests, they took the historic photo together.  Finally, the teaching monks led to pay homage the Triple Gems which was the final V-Star activity of Dhammakaya Nagano Temple in Japan on that day.  We, Dhammakaya Nagano Temple, would like to share and rejoice in your merit.
