LORD W IS A CRUEL ASS. THE VEN THERA LIVED A LIFE IN LINE WITH THE DHAMMA AND LIVED UP TO WHAT BUDDHA SAID " DO NOT TOUCH THE ROBE IF YOU CANNOT LIVE UP TO THE HIGH STANDARD OF A PERSON IN ROBES " HE WAS NOT THE TYPE WHO HIRED THE TEMPLE TO POLITICIANS WHO PROTECTED FRAUDS IN ROBES.

He achieved a long life being pure in mind and body. No evil thoughts (like Wolves) and very correct in diet - as preached by the Enlightened One.
