Emster23 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 True Buddhist demand that Issara be defrocked and shot immediately! I'm a Buddhist and agree should be defrocked and forced to earn a living. But we say no to shooting this wolf in sheep's clothing. May this jerk find his Buddha nature, buried deep though it may be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichol Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I always thought a Buddhist has to be quick to forgive and move on. Specially a Monk. "Demanding" an apology is kind of against Buddhism .... Which just goes to prove that this weasel of an excuse for a monk is a complete fraud provoking violence and hatred during the run up to the coup, defrauding money from poor people who he has brainwashed into believing that the slop he makes and passes of as medicine will cure them, I am sure people could fill a book with the bullshit this sad excuse for a monk has got up to, and now has the audacity to protest and demand that a US ambassador be removed from his post for having the balls to speak his mind and tell it how it is, with egits like him supposedly guiding people in the buddhist way is it any wonder the country is in the state it is.

tomacht8 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 And I always thought practicing Buddhists strive for there own enlightenment.He should take off his monastic clothes, go to make a decent suit at a tailorshop and go into politics if he is so thirsty for worldly problems.

hookedondhamma Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 True Buddhist demand that Issara be defrocked and shot immediately!wouldn't happen in a million years. He has too many naive followers and the sangha council doesn't want to piss off the lay followers. He's smart in that he knows how to snag naive believers, but is making himself stupid all the more by doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is as much of a problem as the laypeople who follow him. The dhamma examinations given yearly would have so much more benefit if no cheating and 'helping' weren't allowed.

sawadee1947 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Issara should concentrate on divine things and go for prayers. Or give back his monk status. Or is he attracted by politics because of filled pockets....? I remember there was another collegue of him with his own plane and a villa in America and France.....A challenge for him ??

Lupatria Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Stage 2 after the funeral of "freedom of speech" seems to be the funeral of "publicly voice an opinion" for envoys.

Jonmarleesco Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 A pity the venerable abbot, in common with every other mouthpiece for the LM cause, is patently unable to vocalise any logical reason as to why the ambassador should apologise for his eminently valid comments.

docshock13 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yet just another embarrassment to the current regime. For all the talk coming from government house about "improving the image of the nation" and taking a hardline against those who "incite unrest," their inaction against this agitator speaks volumes about their raison d'etre as well as their motives behind Article 44, the increase in LM112 arrests (and deaths under dubious circumstances), press censorship and other increasingly draconian measures. But as most know, its one set of rules for us and another set of rules for them. The funny (or sad) thing is they think they are actually fooling people. The current govt reminds me of a toddler that plays hide and seek for the first time: they will close or cover their eyes and believe they are hiding because if they cannot see you, you must not be able to see them. Some studies (some out of Cambridge I believe) have attributed this to the phase in development where infants and toddlers are the center of their own cognitive universes. I.e. everything revolves around their perception of their surroundings and other possible perceptions are either non-existent, peripheral or irrelevant to their perception. So all can rest easy knowing that 3 year olds hold the future of a nation firmly within their grasp for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Demanding" an apology is kind of against Buddhism .... But it is a good opportunity to further his "Al Sharpton persona" and show his favorite son status with the junta by calling with impunity for gatherings of more than five persons.

ikke Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 However he urged that all protests must be held peacefully and within the boundary of laws. Should be no problem for anyone.. But I think protests of no more than 5 people will be hard to organize and maintain. It is the law right no more than 5 people in a gathering? It is the law indeed, but the law under Junta government doesn't count for yellows...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
