Request for Investigation into Monks Wearing Bras

[webfact]

 

People in Khon Kaen request an investigation into three monks allegedly engaging in sexual activities and collecting points from worshippers at a temple.

 

The news emerged on August 7, 2566, when the Facebook page "Ee Zo Khai Khao 2" posted pictures of a monk-like man wearing a bra and holding a snake on his chest, reported INN.

 

The post also mentioned "dating girls, catching men, and fooling around with monks," raising concerns about the monks' conduct known to temple authorities but not addressed.

 

Following inquiries, it was revealed that the accused individuals are Grade 5 (อยู่ชั้น ม. 5) students at a temple school in Khon Kaen.

 

They have reportedly engaged in inappropriate behavior, such as sneaking out at night, cross-dressing, and offering sexual services within the temple grounds.

 

Despite previous reports to temple authorities, no action was taken. Media coverage aims to prompt relevant authorities to investigate and enforce monk discipline.

 

Upon inspection at the temple, no such monks were found, and the nearby temple school had no knowledge of the individuals or the alleged actions, as confirmed by local residents.

Thais are even ignorant about their own religion.

Given me an idea for a new web site,

Hang on. Am I reading it right that Grade 5 students are offering sexual services! Forget about the cross dressing, sneaking out, and doing it within the grounds of a temple. Grade 5 is about 10-11 years old! Call the police!

A Buddhist monk walks up to a hot dog vendor and says: "Make me one with everything."

After a brief chuckle, the vendor makes the hot dog and gives it to the monk, saying "That will be $4 please". After the monk hands over a $10 bill, he finds himself waiting uncomfortably while the vendor does nothing except stare back at him.

Awkwardly the monk asks "What about my change?" "Ah," replies the hot dog vendor, "Change must come from within."

A lot of cults out there, that people get sucked into, with strange behavior, this one is supported by the government, and Indoctrinated in the schools. That kid looks about 12-14.

Another case of monks behaving badly again emerged in the northeastern province of Khon Kaen after residents accused a young novice of dressing up as a woman, selling sex to other novices and monks in the temple and partying in nightclubs. The abbot of the temple has been accused of turning a blind eye to the novice’s decadent activities.

 

A Facebook page, E-Sor News (อีซ้อขยี้ข่าว) shared an image of the novice in question seated fastening a black bra around his chest. Accompanying the image, the caption reads…

 

“Dressing up like a girl, providing sex services, and hunting for men. Having sex with other monks and novices in the temple. Locals complained to the abbot who knows everything but ignores it. Some monks and novices in the temple are also curious about the issue. Why has no one done anything? A royal monastery in Khon Kaen.”

 

Channel 3 interviewed locals living nearby the temple about the issue. The locals identified the novice featured in the picture as J, confirming that he indeed has been contravening the rules of Thai Buddhism, as mentioned in the Facebook post.

M5 is about 16/17

What would Buddha say?

[spidermike007]

For a foreigner without a deep understanding of the belief in the merit system of Theravada, it is hard to comprehend a family spending a million baht on an ordination ceremony for their son, who will stay at the temple for a month. 

 

Of course the teachers had no knowledge of the behavior of the students. They teach only purity and goodness.

Indeed, and many foreigners don't realise that many monks are only there for a few days. 

Buddhism is a great religion.

Thailand doesn't follow the system they have in the USA.

There is no grade 7-12.
