They are now officially moving away from the clear and independent path. The teachings of Buddha is that all material things are of no value. It started with mobile phones, computers and smoking monks. Now they have created Monk Headroom! All for the money and everlasting greed.

So he's just a real monk copying exactly what the two who were extremely popular on FB did before they were defrocked....who does that make him the "first"? First to copy someone else's model?

There's an 'opinion' piece on BP's website today: "New narrative needed on getting rich" - says it all!

 

While over the years I've met many devout Thai Muslims, Christians, etc., it's not as easy to find devout Buddhists, as most Thais (nowadays) seem to worship almost exclusively the 'god of money', and also, that's maybe more a traditional worship, all kinds of spirits.

 

Funny thing is, many Thais, at the same time, don't seem to be inclined to work hard towards their 'get rich' goal, but rather trust the lottery, or just sit around, waiting for what, money to rain from the sky?

I understand that younger people need something different than listening to a 60 year old monk go on and on with their chanting that has no interest for younger people.  I'm not sure this is the way, but something has to be done to reach this younger audience.  I'm not saying change the message, I'm saying find a better way to deliver it.  Find a way to join the message with this new modern world.

At least the AI Monk cannot be defrocked , and he can collect "donations" in Bitcoin.

 

The Saffron Mafia is ahead of the curve.........
