Soutpeel Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Wonder if he's interested in luxury cars too?The last article about this fraudulent cheat advised that he was given a Rolls Royce, he should have that and his fortunes taken away and made an outcast to the Budhist society. Give his riches to the poor and needy And while your at it tell the pope to give away Rome's money and assets to the poor and needy as well...

khaowong1 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Don't really know what the hue and cry is all about. This is what Japanese monks do www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eRTlnAA8_E Ha ha ha ... now this is just way too much.. I agree that Buddhism probably should upgrade to the 21st century, but rapping suttra's.. I think not. Kind of reminds me of the Christian rock bands of several years ago.

SteeleJoe Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Can see what the problem is the Roman Catholic church/Christianity has been scamming people of their money for 2000 years. That comment makes no sense. Because "the Roman Catholic church/Christianity has been scamming people of their money for 2000 years", there should be no reason to object to this monk's choices?

kevvy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 This is so wrong Monks do not own or possess material things he is a fraud and on his return should be out up in the Bangkok Hilton for his injustices so he goes to jail for this , you have to be joking ... so lets get things right , you can murder someone and get away with it , but to be a monk and have material items is wrong and you think we should send them to bangkok hilton I think he'd be fine to be moved to the Bangkok Hilton, it would suit his tastes: the Bangkok Chilton is also known as the thailand jail.

The thing is that a sound argument can be made that the exact same description can be applied to many, many monks - possibly even a majority - who differ only in the degree of their scamming and/or the scale of their success. (Or their notoriety versus the ability to not cross a line that attracts the wrong kind of scrutiny.) One of the most famous and influential monks in the country...well, I'll withhold comment I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bung Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Why would he do that? He's absolutely coining it at the moment. All he has to do is sit it out in France and wait for the dust to settle and he'll be back carrying on the same. The media and sheeple would have moved onto the next scandal by then.

kimamey Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Buddha said attachment is the source of suffering...presumably that includes all of us being attached to our various points of view about monks in being France and on private planes...lol Maybe some of us don't believe what Buddha is supposed to have said or even that he said it at all as it was never written down at the time. But then most Thais seem to be more interested in going to temples and giving money to monks than anything else. Did Buddha go to massive temples with statues of himself or did he manage without? that was a stupid remark! you figure he had a statue made while he was aive? read up on the buddha, will do you some good! I have read a bit about Buddha actually. I stopped when I realised it bore no relation to what I was seeing around me in Thailand as the only reason for reading about it was to try to understand the religion here. As for doing me some good what makes you think I need doing some good. I'm not perfect but I'm reasonably happy with what I am and I can't see that reading about Buddha will help. I would also have to read up on all the other religions as well because as a non believer I'm not locked into thinking that one religion is better than any other. Since you don't know me your remark could just as easily be considered stupid The question about Buddha and statues was a rhetorical one as I'm certain he didn't have statues of himself and he would have been pretty vain if he did. I'm sorry that wasn't clear. My point was that if he managed to gain enlightenment without these things then why are so many needed now. Is the creation of endless statues part of Buddhism and if so why. Whilst I have nothing against places where Buddhists can gather some temples just seem to be not in keeping with that need and almost look like some sort of one-upmanship. I would also think that there are many other uses that the money could be used for? I would be interested in you response to this although I won't be too surprised if I don't get one. Here's hoping.
