Wat Suan Kaew, July 5- "Phra Phayom" quoted the words "Luang Pho Panya", a Buddhist monk. Just behave well, be ordained, have faith, people look at behavior. not yellow cloth Emphasizing what is scarier nowadays is that the word “Sai Mu” makes people forget their teachings. which aims to bring precepts, concentration and wisdom to help them escape from suffering More than praying for a blessing
Prarajthamnithet (Phra Phayom Kalayano), the abbot of Wat Suan Kaew Referring to the case of the current criticism of the ordination of Phra Khuean Pataranai (Keotic Dam) whether or not ordination can be done in our country's Buddhism. 1. Look at the story of having been prosecuted or not. committed an offense, escaped the case or not, and 2. Chanthaburi Sexual deviance Or having a certain disease, such as leprosy, cannot be ordained. The ordination comes from the word Pawacha, which means abstaining from secular practices such as dressing, dressing, and abstaining from household chores. come to practice religious activities, pray, pray, etc., and also mean brushing Out of evil, badness, out of yourself. As for those who come to ordain, they should look at their behavior whether it is appropriate or not for ordination in Buddhism in the current state. By asking for the analogy of Luang Pho Panyanantaphikku that if the ordained people were like Ajarn Seri Wongmonta who had qualifications and behaved well posing properly can allow him to ordain and make merit as well The goodness and faith of the monks should look at their behavior. Not at the yellow cloth because if some people misbehave It is considered to cause shame and is not suitable to be ordained or counted as a monk.
Prarajthammanitet said that what is terrifying in laying down the faith of people in Buddhism now It's not just about the monks alone. But it's about the word "Sai Mu" that is no longer limited to temples, some that go outside the temple, such as amulet dispensers. which in Buddhism they do not do like a drug dispenser or even putting faith in something that has changed The temple has become a tourist attraction, or Sai Mu, even the government supports it. There are tourists flocking to visit both Thai and foreigners. especially Chinese people Or even respecting some faith images such as Ganesha, Brahma, this is not true Buddhism. It must be considered what doctrine they provide as a guide. Because His Majesty the Buddha gave his doctrines as a guideline after passing away. To be a tool to get out of suffering, which is precepts, concentration, and wisdom, used as a tool to eliminate greed, anger, and delusion.-Thai News Agency
