Kadilo Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Every day a new story where these so called "monks" bringing disgrace to a village temple. And they wonder why there is so much scepticism when the next begging bowl comes round. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 And yet this temple will remain open and not have any other fines done to it or its Abbot? Shameful Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 In fairness, these were not real full time monks. They are the revolving door type. Perhaps it would serve everyone's best interests if they gave these "temporary" monks a different colour other than orange to wear and used the term monk candidate, allowing them to be monks only after 2 years of clean and sober life.

I agree with you, only problem with allowing them to be monks after 2 years of clean and sober living, there would be none left to then become monks.
