NativeSon360 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 A Buddhist nun is under investigation for what? Taking some initiative to self-support and improve her financial state of being, instead of sitting on her arse all day, like her "panhandling" male counter-parts @ the Temple. Right-on sister keep going with setting a good "personal productivity" example for those free-loading monks to follow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NativeSon360 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 A tacky car and bag combination, so typical of no class " elites". gotta love a nun in high heels She definitely gets my respect and applause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NativeSon360 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Maybe its not wrong for a nun, but her behavior is inappropriate, an anonymous user wrote on Pantip. It sparks curiosity and questions among Buddhists. It ruins the image of the religion and temple. There's enough hypocrisy to go around. Let's not hoard and reserve it for only the western religions. The image of Buddhism in Thailand is already well and truly ruined. Thai Buddhism is all about money. ALL religions are all about the money. FYI -The Roman Catholic Church is a "one-billion-dollar-a-month" corporate enterprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWideOpen Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Here are the five precepts of Buddhism. Now look around you in Thailand. Given the fact that Thailand has one of highest firearm murder rates in the world, one of the highest alcohol consumption rates in the world, is famous around the world for prostitution, and a country so famous for deceit that neighboring countries use the phrase " Don't Thai to me." And the country considers itself to be 95 % Buddhist. Hmmmmm..... So against this back ground, a Nun stepping out of a Porsche is par for the course I think. Maybe when the general has time next year he can start to look into these temples and money laundering. Everyone knows what is going on, now it time to stop it and put faces to the people who are involved in it... It must be powerful people, as I notice the jet setting monk story has gently faded away...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Precepts "Do not kill." (Unintentional killing is considered less offensive) "Do not steal." (Including misappropriating someone's property) "Do not engage in improper sexual conduct." (e.g. sexual contact not sanctioned by secular laws, the Buddhist monastic code, or by one's parents and guardians) "Do not make false statements." (Also includes pretending to know something one doesn't) "Do not drink alcohol." Edited June 30, 2014 by EyesWideOpen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chotthee Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 when it is legit, let her enjoy ... She earn hard for her money. What is wrong with that? Nun cannot drive car? Come'on this is not Saudi Arabia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbamboo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) A tacky car and bag combination, so typical of no class " elites". Does Thailand have elite nuns?

khaowong1 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The Thai nuns, wearing white robes, are not ordained clergy. They take 8 precepts. They are civilian participants in the temple activities. This particular nun probably comes from a wealthy family. Is it inappropriate for her to show of her LV purse and Porsche car.. Yes.. Is it a big deal? No. Someone's jealous of this woman or scrapping the bottom of the barrel for a story. This lady can walk away any time she wants, she doesn't have to be dis-robed. Matter of fact, there is no dis-robing of nuns. They are civilians doing some work around the temple and wearing the white robes to show their devotion. So, what do you say we dial it down a notch?

Beetlejuice Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Remember this: The farmer who plants a few seeds will have a very small harvest. But the farmer who plants because he has received God's blessings will receive a harvest of God's blessings in return. Or in other words these are just perks of the job by divine intervention. But I really do not understand why this nun requires a car when she could travel via the astral plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a multi-millionaire, and I wanted to travel down to a poor part of town to help out at a temple, I would not drive down there in my Rolls Royce..... It bespeaks of poor judgement at a minimum if indeed the car is somehow from her family. If the car is a byproduct of laundered money , that is a different story. I suspect we have not heard the last of this story..... The jet set monk basically got a walk because he was protected by powerful people. With Prayuth in charge, that will no longer be happening...So will be curious to see how this plays out...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know much about this Nun in white, other than she carry's expensive hand bags and drives expensive cars. She may be one of those women who knows she has it and likes to flaunt it or she may not even realize what she's doing. I've seen both at the temples.

Haha if I had to make a choice between a Thai person donating his beloved Porsche to a temple to " make merit" , or that this car is part of something else, I am going to have to go with the latter choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the Porsche is on a 'loan' donation only. The bag came with it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
