Popular Post webfact Posted March 13 Popular Post Share Posted March 13 Seven Thai transgender dancers filed a lawsuit against the abbot of Sophon Dhammaram Temple in the Isaan province of Surin for insulting them by sharing their pictures and making fun of their appearance. The abbot, Wittaya Sophonwanno, on March 11, shared a picture of seven transwomen performing a traditional Thai dance in angel costumes on his Facebook account. In the caption, he poked fun at them. “If angels look like this, I am willing to live in hell forever…” The post gained attention when one of the transgender dancers shared it on her Facebook, leading to complaints from her followers and the other six dancers in the picture. One of the dancers made her feelings known. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Facebook/ วิทยา หลวงแอร์ ผิวงาม Source: The Thaiger 2024-03-13 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.

Popular Post sirineou Posted March 13 Popular Post Share Posted March 13 They have every right to be upset , Not only was it derogatory , it was mean spirited and unbecoming of a community and religious leader, who is supposed to be there for his Community. All of it!! My wife has an uncle who was a buddhist monk, he was probably the most unbuddhist person I ever met, The only reason he was a monk. was because he was too lazy to do any work, and needed a place to live and eat free food. 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's not considered a religion. Edited March 13 by youreavinalaff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably why monks act different than real Buddism monks. Several years ago I seen the Dalai Llama being interviewed. His views were quite interesting. He answered all the questions put to him but then came the dreaded question. What's your thoughts on Thai Buddhism? He replied, next question please as I've got no intentions of answering that question. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dene16 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 6 hours ago, JoePai said: It's not 'a religion' That's definitely open to conjecture. Followers of Buddhism don’t acknowledge a supreme god or deity. They instead focus on achieving enlightenment—a state of inner peace and wisdom. When followers reach this spiritual echelon, they’re said to have experienced nirvana. https://www.history.com/topics/religion/buddhism#section_1 But it is also noted on google, Wikipedia, and practically every known search engine as a religion. If you worship something, as they do, then it has to be seen as a religion Only some scholars deny that fact My G,F some days, says she will go to up there, as in heaven and the next she will say i don't want to come back as a fly 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you asked her what she thinks she has "done wrong" to come back as a fly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
