Nakhon Pathom — Hundreds of monks gathered in Nakhon Pathom Saturday morning to censure the activist monk Buddha Isara.

Around 500 monks who said they were from Bangkok and the central region, gathered this morning at the giant stupa Phra Pathommachedi to complain about Buddha Isara. They consider Buddha Isara to be instigating division among monks.

what about censuring that Dammakayo guy ?

- or was it him who sent them?

These 500 monks' bank accounts are probably fatter than before.

[SOTIRIOS]

....wow....

[SOUTHERNSTAR]

Karma is a b...h.

[diehard60]

He should be defrocked anyway. He started the trouble in Bangkok 2 years ago. Caused many to get hurt.

what is slowly being uncovered in Thailand is a very secret unregulated finacial institution that has been operating under the guise of religeon for many years, it appears to have some very rich members and provides financial services of an extremely suspect nature.

These institutions should come under financial laws and strict disclosure just like other institutions and also pay tax, there are far too many incidents recently raising many questions without answers

[hansnl]

He does not toe the party line.

[Familyaffairs]

Spaceship monks sent by the spaceship empire-building-abbot allegedly involved in financial misconduct. Long live Phra Issara !

[klauskunkel]

Just wondering at the mechanics of all that, are they flinging mantras at him?

...also is this a political gathering? The lines and colors are all blurred...

[metisdead]

A post containing an inflammatory comment toward another member has been removed.

[Srikcir]

Waiting for the NCPO to invite these monks to an army base for an attitude adjustment meeting.

But hell hasn't frozen over yet.

Maybe they are operating on the Vatican model

[colinneil]

I am waiting for someone to show me a poor/ honest monk.

I think i will be waiting a loooonnnngggg time.

[jesimps]

Isara's no more a Buddhist monk than I am. Smeg stirring, rabble rousing pond life who should be defrocked forthwith.

[Khon Kaen Dave]

Exactly the same as the catholic church!

[connda]

About time. If Isara wants to be an activist, disrobe and be an activist. Monks take to the robe to 'let go' of secular life.

I gather you are not from the USA that would be considered quite a revolutionary statement there. . "secret unregulated financial institution that has been operating under the guise of religion for many years, it appears to have some very rich members and provides financial services of an extremely suspect nature.

These institutions should come under financial laws and strict disclosure just like other institutions and also pay tax." Then again its only recently that the Vatican has started to put its house in order

[Eric Loh]

Time for Buddha Issara to decide whether to be a monk or a politician.

[sweatalot]

Isara's no more a Buddhist monk than I am. Smeg stirring, rabble rousing pond life who should be defrocked forthwith.

I think he just understood what political force in this country was causing the biggest havoc

and decided to help

and this way made those enemies who are part of that political power

Judging from the bright orange robes, I would say this is true.

[arrowsdawdle]

Five hundred flies can't be wrong.

This 'religion' is the biggest con-trick ever perpetrated on a single nation. In my poor fishing village there are two huge temple conglomerates with several wats all dripping in gold.
