BANGKOK: -- SEVERAL CONFLICTS have further complicated the Dhammakaya Temple’s saga in the eyes of a prominent academic.

 

Prof Dr Chaiwat Satha-Anand, head of Thammasat University’s Peace Information Centre, said during an exclusive interview that the ongoing saga did not involve just a single conflict.

 

“I can’t tell how the saga will end. From what I can see, it’s by no means about just one conflict. This means even if you manage to settle one, another will materialise,” he said.

 

During the past two weeks, police and soldiers have surrounded the massive Dhammakaya Temple in Pathum Thani province for the operations to arrest its controversial honorary abbot Phra Dhammachayo.

Yes oh wise one you are right. If the government moves to swiftly the afterlife will be full of cockroaches.

Tread? They haven't even gone for tip toe. They've gone the whole hog and donned ballet shoes encased in carpet slippers.

Yeah, when they break the law, got to be nice and friendly when arrested...Oh wait, what am I saying! Many Moons being 'nice' but no arrests of the main characters..

Tread carefully and remember to say please.

Better still any law breakers drag them off kicking and screaming.

Take one misstep and the afterlife could really suck for you.
