Controversial Monk's Tearful Outburst and Candle Wax Incident Raise Concerns over His Ordination

[webfact]

 

In a recent incident, Phra K Roi Lan, known as the controversial monk with a history of political involvement and legal issues, shed tears while vehemently dismissing any aspirations of forming a government.

 

The emotional outburst occurred during a Buddhist camp in Surin province, attended by around 900 students. What caught everyone's attention was the sight of candle wax covering his face during the episode.

 

The camp's speaker, Phra K Roi Lan, has a dubious reputation, raising eyebrows among the public and religious authorities. The candle wax on his face further added to the intrigue, with some speculating its symbolic significance or a ritualistic gesture, reported Sanook.

 

Phra Payom Kalayanano, the abbot of Suan Kaew Temple, commented that prospective monks typically undergo a month of meditation to assess their mental state before ordination.

 

He emphasized that if someone carries unresolved legal or moral issues, they should not be ordained.

 

The incident, coupled with the candle wax presence, has sparked concerns about Phra K Roi Lan's mental stability, prompting some to call for immediate psychological intervention.

However, I think he is qualified.

He will be useful if the electric goes off

Jeez what a scary 'pale skin' bloke, and with what seems like a mental disability. Perfect government material, should blend in well.

Its saffron head the monk that glows in the dark all perfectly normal at the asylum ????

[ignore it]

 

Just waxing his head for hair removal.

Looks like a failed attempt at self-immolation.

Being a monk doesn't mean he can't be an absolute nut-case.
