A Buddhist abbot found himself embroiled in controversy after allegedly having a secret year-long affair with a local woman. The family of the woman visited the temple to confront the abbot, leading to the revelation of evidence that subsequently pressured him to disrobe.

 

Yesterday, April 30, a group of family members arrived at a temple located in Chumphon province, due to their dissatisfaction with the behaviour of the monastery’s head monk. It became apparent that the abbot had been secretly engaged in a sexual relationship with a woman for nearly a year. The temple, which had seen significant improvements during his tenure, was now the site of a confrontation between the abbot’s followers and the aggrieved family.


During the discussion, the family expressed their previous admiration and faith in the abbot, who had played a key role in developing the temple from a dilapidated site to a clean and well-maintained sanctuary. The temple had become a focal point for many in the local community to practice meditation. However, the family’s faith was shattered when the 32 year old woman, a relative of those confronting the abbot, revealed the nature of their relationship.

 

Despite the allegations, the abbot vigorously denied any wrongdoing, stating that he upheld his religious duties and never deviated from proper monastic conduct.

Not for the first time it seems.
