Because of the work of a beautiful woman, the Buddhist sector in Thailand is almost in ruins. Because many big and famous monks in Thailand have been dismissed and are being investigated because of the work of this woman.
Because of this, according to The Nation, Thai police have been ordered to make more efforts to examine and research the records of monks across Thailand.
Police Maj-Gen Jaroonkiat Pankaew, deputy commissioner-general of the Central Bureau of Investigation, chaired a meeting on Wednesday, July 16, to outline the principles and framework for the establishment of the “Center for Promoting and Maintaining Buddhist Discipline and Ethics.” After the 13th top monk official had a sex scandal with a beauty queen, as well as a cash payment issue of approximately 300 million baht.
The story has become so well-known throughout Thailand that the Thai police have stepped in and set up a center to handle complaints about monks who violate religious rules. The center has a hotline and a Facebook page to receive complaints, and has already forwarded several investigation cases.
The center’s primary mission is to serve as a central hub for investigating and reporting on wrongdoing, corruption, and other information related to the maintenance of Buddhist discipline. But it has not yet been decided whether the center will become a permanent institution.
Mr. Charunkapot explained that the center will work closely with relevant agencies, especially the National Office of Buddhism. He acknowledged that cooperation with the National Office of Buddhism in the past has often been slow and ineffective, as the National Office of Buddhism has sometimes been reluctant to address issues, which may be due to a tendency to cover up issues and a lack of strict enforcement.
It is not yet known whether the fate of the 13 other senior and famous monks in Thailand will be the same, but it is known that those responsible have accepted their responsibilities and resigned from the Buddhist institutions.
In fact, it is common to become a monk and then to become a monk, and the dharma and discipline do not prohibit monks from becoming a monk and having to become a monk to maintain their status as a monk for life. Buddhism still provides opportunities to turn away from the path of the Dharma and return to the path of the Buddha Chakra. In the past, in Cambodia, there were also high-ranking monks who abandoned the precepts and monks who were often ordained. This is normal, except that if you are in control of your life and indulge in sexual pleasures until you burst, it is wrong.
To continue to protect and strengthen the Buddhist sector in Cambodia, the Supreme Council of Monks in Cambodia should strengthen the practice of the Dharma and the discipline to be consistent. In cases where one cannot control their emotions, one should declare one’s departure from the precepts. Do not make a story about feces like the case of the leaders of the neighboring Buddhist community, both in the form of a slanderous statement as leaked on social media in Thailand.
What the authorities found in Thailand is an important matter, as this has happened in the Buddhist world before, but there were no high-ranking monks who were famous. Therefore, please pay attention to strengthening your faith and expanding your understanding of psychology and theology to be more profound.
