webfact Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Young Buddhists group urges Supreme Patriarch to defrock Dhammachayo By PIYANUCH THAMNUKASETCHAI THE NATION BANGKOK: -- THE YOUNG Buddhists Association of Thailand (YBAT) has urged the Supreme Patriarch to consider expelling the highly controversial Phra Dhammachayo from the monkhood. Phra Dhammchayo, the honorary abbot of Dhammakaya Temple, is facing arrest warrants for money laundering. YBAT chairman Somporn Thepsittha, who also heads the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) committee on religions, arts, culture and tourism, said yesterday that the YBAT had submitted a petition to the Supreme Patriarch asking him to consider defrocking Phra Dhammachayo. The current Supreme Patriarch, Somdet Phra Ariyawongsakhatayan (Ambhorn Ambharo), is the successor to Somdet Phra Nyanasamvara Sangharaja, who passed away in 2013.

rkidlad Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Maybe he could also go in and make a citizen's arrest also. The DSI aren't going to do it so someone has to do. The DSI will wait round the corner while he goes in.
SABloke Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Poor little naive lambs: the Abbot clearly doesn't give a flying fornication about Buddhism so defrocking him will hurt his ego, but won't bother him too much. Better to ask the Supreme Patriach to ask the PM to get the bald prick arrested and thrown in jail.
JAG Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 This chapter is the Chairman of The Young Buddhists Association, and a NLA member - head of a committee to boot! I wonder how"young" he is? It does sound a bit like Ken Clarke being chairman of the Young Conservatives... :-):-)
colinneil Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Defrock Dhammachayo ok, wont make any difference to him. He will still wear the saffron robe, still think i am number 1 monk. Remember the case of the monk with the Loui vitton bag? He was defrocked still travelled the World in saffron robes.
TheFishman1 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Lol they can't even arrest him Corruption at its best from the top down TIT
lvr181 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Best idea I've heard in a long time. But do not just defrock him, throw him in jail for his crimes! The guy is a criminal in disguise. Problem is, who has the "balls" to arrest him? It seems the DSI, Police and Army are all too scared to do anything. Far easier to arrest some pensioners playing bridge or throwing a man in jail for feeding fish!
