One day, one of the divisions of the Japanese army was participating in military exercises, and several officers found it necessary to station themselves at the Gazana Temple.
Gazan said to his cook:
- Give the officers the same simple food as we do.
This made the warriors very angry, as they were accustomed to a very respectful attitude. One of them went to Gadzan and said:
- Who do you think we are? We are soldiers who sacrifice our lives for our country. Why don't you treat us like we should?
Gadzan answered sternly:
- Who do you think we are? We are the soldiers of humanity, our goal is the salvation of all things.
