    I really have no idea why these people have to insult precious monks, if one does any bad things, that ruins and effect all the respective monks.

    Saffron robe terrorism so to say.

    This is not good

    Time to get real Abilashan. No one is insulting monks, they're doing it to themselves all on their own. Remember the monk who crashed his car while driving under the influence of liquor and the monk who abused the highway officials in filth because they did not allow his un-roadworthy vehicle on the highway?

    You will have to seperate a person from the concept of monk.A monk is also a human has the natural urges. They ofcourse need to have sort of control on what they do, as people follow and get advices. Do you know drinking is natural? Monkeys drink. Birds and bees drink. But man takes drinking to the extreme level and do bad things.

    Teachers become robbers, how is that?

    Anyone can wear the orange robe and pass off as monks to take advantage of certain situations, as they tend to become less suspicious in the minds of the common man. This does not mean that one can cast aspersions on monkhood and genuine monks, in general. However, the temples should take precaution against these sort of crooks.

    if a person expects to be respected as a monk, he better behave like one. A monk behaving like a normal person does not deserve to be respected like a monk

    This is disaster for the country

    citizen1 Friday, 17 August 2012 03:59 PM

    they sometimes behave worse than a normal person.
