A concert which has theme about "life" will be held at Bulamsa on 5th of October. Bulamsa is a temple located in Byulnaemyeon, Namyangju si, Gyeonggi Province. This concert is a campaign which intends people to think about respecting life. Buddhist singers and Korean classical musicians will be invited in this concert. After that, there will be a scholarship ceremony. The ceremony is hosted by scholarship committee, organized by monks, and it has been hosted for three years. The main purpose of the campaign is to receive people's support and applications of the hematopoietic stem cell donation and the organ donation. The hematopoietic stem cell is responsible for creating blood cells. This can be donated on the spot because the procedure is relatively simple. The procedure checks if the blood can be transfused. In addition to cell donation, they receive organ donation. The procedure is more complicated than the previous one, so they just receive names and pledges on the spot. The letter of appreciation will be awarded later to the participants of the campaign. These will be hosted by Chamsaram volunteers in Dongguk and the Life share association. The reason for holding the event in Bulamsa is that the chairman of the association is Ilmyeon sunim, who stays in the Bulamsa.
