BANGKOK: -- Authorities surrounding Wat Dhammakai will have a hard job arresting abbot Phra Dhammachayo said one of his disciples.

 

According to his followers he can perform magic, can make himself invisible and even walk on water.

 

He also has the ability to make himself too heavy to pick up.

 

Disciple Ai Petchthong was talking to PPTV and quoted by kapook.com.

 

He said that the monk had divine qualities though he admitted he was a man and said that he wanted to die at the temple.

 

He said he believed that Phra Dhammachayo was in the vast compound but that he had not actually seen him himself.

 

"He is divine," said Ai, "He can do things that ordinary people cannot. He is so very pure".

 

He even claimed that the monk - wanted on 19 charges including massive embezzlement - can make himself appear invisible.

 

"Even if found he can also make himself too heavy to lift," claimed the disciple.

 

And he said he has the ability to walk on water, referencing another religious character from the Buddhist faith who followers believe could perform such a feat.

 

Ai said he understood the authorities and had no beef with them but he was worried about the image of the temple in the eyes of the international community following the news.

 

Some 3,500 police, military and local officials surrounding the temple are biding their time in a standoff outside the massive grounds that features a vast central building in the shape of a UFO.

No, he can't, dumb-dumb.

When i was a nipper, my Dad took me to watch Everton FC. 
Their striker and my personal childhood hero was Bob Latchford and the home end supporters used to sing " Bobby Latchford walks on water...."

I was young and actually beleived it. I believed up untill the song turned into "Latchford you fat bastard, just RUN"

The point being that I stopped believing that people could walk on water when I was 6 or 7. And I was a naive kid!!

 

I have to admit, this mad me giggle a bit. Almost endearing.

[Thaiwrath]

I bet he pisses champagne too ?

[colinneil]

He also has the ability to make himself to heavy to lift 

Yes weighted down with all his ill gotten gains. 

[whatawonderfulday]

And no doubt, given his exceptional powers, he has already spirited away millions, if not billions of baht  from the temples alledged money laundering and drug smuggling enterprises. no doubt with the help of a few prophets and fortune tellers.

[Crossy]

If he has any sense he's long gone (out the side door) and is now comfortably off in <insert country with no Thai extradition treaty> watching the fun on TV.

 

Failing that the troops outside need to be careful, when the temple takes off there could be serious injuries from the anti-gravity drive.

 

EDIT This is what happens ...

no

but probably drinks it

Walks on water, just to prove sh*t can float.

[DM07]

...and he can make air smell bad...

[yellowboat]

He probably dressed up like a lady-boy and walked out in broad daylight.  If he has super powers, it is doubtful he needs them.

Finally I'm convinced, in this country the mother of the hopelessly stupid is permanently pregnant.

OK when I saw the story come in, I had a few tasty comments of my own. But after reading these? Evening you can say about the mystical monk has been said.

Walk on water?  That's an old story, some other idiot used that one 2000 years ago, and it was a crock then aswell!

Just wave some serious cash around and the good abbot like cream on coffee will sink and then rise to the top.

So what, the BiB can do that, too. And they are not so pure.

I mastered that "superpower" years ago (with a lot of help from Arthur Guinness and Colonel Sanders).

Some buddhists are very nice to nature as well, will never hurt an animal (roosterfights) or bring other people in danger (thai roads).

It would seem that this monk is not one of those nice Buddhists you mention.

[bangkok101]

breaking news: "thai police & military on orders from PM give up search for fugitive monk due to becoming invisible" 

Further, recently invisible monk beamed up and now thought to be cruising warp 8 on the star-ship enterprise circling high above temple....
