trainman34014 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Nothing new here; i see them in Big C almost every week, sometimes with trolleys full of expensive stuff ! Saw two in Rimping last week and there are very few bargains in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakeupplease Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 One day the population will wake up and realize these unemployed have been taking the P>>> for donkeys years from early in the morning to late at night, give me, give me, give me and that is all you get along with a few worthless promises.

In my country you only see old people in the churches, very few young ones. Hope springs eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney earl Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The people who can least afford to give money, give to mark merit so that monks can buy whatever they want. How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzian Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I just found out from Thais I know that a monk I know by sight is doing a certain sort of business management and speculation. I'm sure it is true because I'm close to the situation. I mentioned it to a farang monk I know and he said leave it alone. People have told me the newspapers won't care. Strange situation.

" Exactly my point, it was a media report with no confirmation that it was expensive imported sausage and you clearly missed the emphasis in my comment. Most sausage in local supermarkets is not expensive and is hardly ever imported, most is made locally and given a foreign name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think whether or not the sausage is imported is not the major issue here. According to the Buddhist Monastic Code: - Monks are not allowed to procure their own food. - Monks are not permitted to buy or sell products with money.

Stop making excuses for the monks by arguing over the semantics of whether it was cheap local sausage or imported expensive sausage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manhood Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 However, monks have money, monks make money and why shouldn't he get some nice german sausages...or caviar ... Just look around, how can they build every where new temples, just from the food they get while walking along the streets in the moring: SURE NOT So that's monks life and behaviour in Thailand! just bend your head down in front of them; maybe you can learn something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
