Honestly these guys seem to live it up more than the general public ! I gave up on temples and Buddhism out here.... this and other similar stories are just more confirmation that it's riddled with everything that's bad.

drbeach Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 What is wrong with this country? A monk killing a pregnant women he wasn't supposed to be dating in the first place? And doing so during the corona crisis, which still isn't over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I'm sure the men of the cloth are less than delighted, that one of the followers of the faith "misbehaved". But, as long as every Thai male should to do temple service it is quite obvious, that you get also the sick nut case. I assume that machetes are not standard equipment for monks nor in a pick-up. The guy is nuts, book him a suite in the slammer or get rid of him for good. After all, the woman and the unborn child paid the ultimate price.

khaowong1 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Normally, the head monk of a district chooses abbots for the temples in their districts. And this choosing appears to be set along the "good old boy" "here's a pat on the back" guidelines. Some sort of careful vetting needs to be implemented. And I'm not talking about a pocket full of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good run for a long time. Traveled the world before coming back home. I'm pretty sure he never thought he would be convicted. He had a lot of friends in high places who evidently, turned their back on him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ54 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 These things leaves me shaking my head.... a local village temple went to visit two cars covered under covered patio. Asled what they were... 2 Mercedes Benz the monks father gave him... ok ok I believe that one..next... no I don’t believe that. I’ve asked if Buddhism is a belief or a word... meaning to them specifically. In the village a young man going to be a monk. The music trucks drives through the neighborhood people dancing, drinking including underage drinking. Then another drinking party at night.. im not complaining I’m just trying to figure out is that what their supposed to do as Buddhist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point of joining a club if you do not receive benefits? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Buddhism today, and especially Thai Buddhism, is way, way off the mark of what the Buddha wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
