My today show me some other thai news about monk and 100+ mil bank acc, not sure its same one.

Every now and then the poor get a win. 

I'm sure the many people that have been arrested and in prison since 2014 slept peacefully last night. ?☺

Put them up in the Hilton lol

Yes, off course it must be much more bad for the people that should have been living without owning things, to suddenly find themselfs in that particular situation, than it is for ordinarie people.

Oh my Budda! That was an understatement Darcula.

 

His harem were there in tears, their idol (or is it 'idle') has been arrested.

I used to think the word gullible had been removed from the dictionary. Now I know it hasn't.

Will Suvit Thongprasert (real name of the accused) be charged with crimes against the gullible? I don't see why not, the police/junta get away with making up non-existent charges against the sandwich-eating public.

 

Don't forget it was the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard who is widely rumoured to have said "The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion." Which is exactly what he did.

Suvit Thongprasert isn't far behind by brainwashing being charismatic and encouraging his followers under the vague guise of Buddhism.

Maybe he is next but he probably has the goods on certain persons so reasonably well protected.

That could easily be solved with an end of "forgotten" rope in his cell.  Just a friendly hint to the authorities in case they're reading. ?

No sympathy here considering that I don't believe that Buddhist monks should be activists - Political activism in anathema to the purpose of rejecting worldly concern and pursuing a spiritual path.  They can not co-exist.  Pick one or the other - want to be an activist?  Disrobe. 
If he wasn't a monk, his arrest would gander little if no media coverage.  Best of luck as a layman.

He was one of the most prominent Orwellian-named PDRC leaders, so a little more than just any activist.  Then there was unlawful imprisonment and beating of 2 undercover police offers and robbery of 120,000 Baht at a hotel (they threatened to ransack the place unless this money was paid).

If he really wanted to milk public sympathy, he should have been fully dressed and seated in front of a statue of Buddha in peaceful meditation.
But instead -- he's found sleeping in the middle of the day in a squalid room that looks in desperate need of cleaning.  There we go - the hero of the laity pursuing spirituality in the prone position.  Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz.

Well, back to being a non-monk, and an incarcerated one at that. 
I detest when charlatans dress in the robes of the spiritual in order to advance their own causes.  It's disingenuous.  And it further debases the already tarnished institution of the Thai Buddhist monastic order.

Police have pressed the illegal-association charge against Phra Buddha Isara as he allegedly mobilised some demonstrators to attack two special-branch policemen and snatched their guns during the PDRC rally in 2014.

 

Out of the blue, four years later? 

 

What have the RTP been doing with their illegal association case for all the intervening years???

 

In other words, why suddenly now? Inquiring minds want to know...

Edited May 25, 20188 yr by TallGuyJohninBKK

So the PDRC is the illegal association?

When they start going after their own, it's even more worrying. Night of the Long Knives?

Probably someone testing that new strain of cannabis the government are talking about approving.

 

Didn't Buddha teach the sacrifice of privileges?

Yeah, hard to sleep knowing all that money you stashed away could be gone and you may have to work for a living from now on 

Ironic ain't it.

Had trouble sleeping in a jail cell, but slept OK after stealing millions.

Phra Buddha Isara has denied the charges.

Whatever happened to the allegations that he had committed lese majeste in the making of Buddha amulets, filed under Article 112 of the Criminal Code on 10 April 2017 by Wichai Prasertsutsiri, coordinator of the Center for the Promotion of Buddhism Foundation at the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok?

The police accepted the complaint and said they will investigate the matter.

Well, here's the time to do it if it wasn't already dismissed.

You are way outdated on the news. 

It's already on thaivisa.com. khao sod. 

He's facing 20 years for using a fake royal stamp. And many more charges to come. 

He's getting his come uppance good and proper. 

Monks, Police, Military, Politicians, Civil Servants et al.
These charlatan factions are stealing from the Thai people with impunity.
Police v monks. Interfactional rivalry, nothing more.

If they spent more time meditating a less time pursuing worldly endeavors, then no doubt they would be sleeping like babes.  But had they done that, they would not be in prison in the first place.  Boo hoo. 
Ejecting these charlatans out of the Sangha is a step in the right direction.  There are a whole lot more that should be forced to take that same path.

A true Buddhist monk would not have been arrested while sleeping on a 'high, comfortable' bed which is strictly forbidden by the vows taken by what is suppose to be a 'senior' Buddhist monk.  So, yes, it's wonderfully karmatic in the sense that he is now living in the austerity that Buddhist monks vow to live in, but he seems to be rather averse to that lifestyle. <laugh> 
What goes around comes around.  How fitting!!!
