Lin describes Taiwan as Tibetan Buddhism's greatest "source of financial support." As long as the Taiwanese devotees show piousness, the masters will remain openhearted: "If you give glass beads to a Tibetan Buddhist master here, he'll invest them with spiritual power too."
林谷芳不諱言，今天台灣已是藏傳佛教的最大「功德主」，只要信徒虔誠，上師自然廣發菩提心，「就是拿玻璃珠去請上師加持，上師也不會拒絕。」
