Ulic Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 He simply misunderstood. He thought a crime was a prerequisite to becoming a monk. After all that is the path of many politicians and drunk drivers who have killed someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrowsdawdle Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Actually, it was the ultimate sacrifice, committing a crime to better enable him to empathize and counsel wayward miscreants...or to send them back out to garner more filthy lucre.

bangon04 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 why do posters assume that this low-life will not get to be ordained on Sunday? All it takes in Thailand is a Wai and a promise..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
