Burmese man condemned for preaching Christianity to Buddhist novices

[webfact]

 

A Thai Buddhist academic criticised a Burmese man and a Thai woman for posing as English language teachers to preach Christianity to novices at a temple in the central province of Ang Thong.

 

Thai academic Jaturong Jong-asa shared pictures posted by the Burmese man on Facebook on Friday, September 20. The pictures showed a group of young novices raising their hands in the air, with the Burmese man and his Thai assistant standing in front of them. The Burmese man stated in the caption…

 

“Monks are getting saved in Thailand. Praise Jesus. One of the monks was healed from a broken heart while we were praying for healing. Glory be to God.”

 

Jaturong criticised the actions of the two.

“What is the monk committee in Phothong district of Ang Thong province doing now? Why do you allow these young novices to shout hallelujah to the god of another religion like this?

“This Burmese man, or this pastor, is a truly bad person. Don’t you know your boundaries? You don’t respect other religions by doing this. What about your visa? Healing? Damn!”

 

The Burmese man’s post also included videos of him discussing Christianity-related topics with the novices. One of the novices came forward to share his experience of heartbreak and said that praying in the Christian way helped him recover.

 

“We did not do this (cure the novice). Jesus did this.”

 

Channel 3 later reported that the incident took place at Tha Khlong Temple in Ang Thong province. The abbot, Sarawut Tanwaro, told the media that the foreign man had offered free English language lessons to the novices at the temple. He found it useful, so he allowed the Burmese man to conduct the class.

 

The abbot stated that he did not expect the Burmese man to secretly preach Christianity during the class. The abbot promised to stop such actions and hoped this would be a lesson for other temples.

Oh my, did this pair pull this off?  The Abbot was not paying attention to the background of his teachers... No screening...The dude sounds like he is from the Jim Jones School of Self-worship...

Bible thumpers.... had one I knew near to me.

A Thai teacher who used every opportunity to plug the faith.

[Hanuman2547]

I'm sure that Jesus will be happy with these two for using deception in an attempt to lure these young Buddhist monks away from their current religion.  (sarcasm intended)

[Classic Ray]

In some Middle Eastern and Asian countries they would be subject to the death penalty for proselytising, luckily Thailand is more tolerant.

[chuang]

Try doing this in Malaysia.. Amen 

[ikke1959]

How dare they to each some other religion as Thai Buddhism is not real Buddhism but a mix of all mind of religions... Real Buddhism doesn't exist in Thailand...Buddhists monks are not allowed to gamble, smoke,  drink alcohol, have sex, and don't need money as they do here in Thailand

[thailand49]

oh no!  

Trying to cut into the Monk business going too far!

Blimey, got out the wrong side of bed ?

[newbee2022]

Defrock the Abbott. He doesn't understand Buddhism, which teach you tolerance to other religions.

And it's good that novices will know more about other religions.

The way these 2 persons use their position however is questionable.😇

how can something, that doesn't exist, hold anything. it seems you choose to believe in a mythical been that believes in mass killing, slavery, created sin, then condemned those that "sin." etc... never mind the false claims, like created the earth, in 7 days, this before there was any reference to time.. then created the sun... both very wrong... but hey.. you can believe.

[retarius]

I swear if there is one lot of people we need to rid ourselves of, it is these religious nut jobs. The world would be a happier place if proselytising was prohibited.

We are long overdue to move beyond magical sky fairies of any stripe but trying to supplant one pile of lies with another pile of lies is not helping.
