As many as 728 Buddhist monks who obtained higher ordination and 940 novice monks had disrobed themselves last year posing a threat to the existence of the Buddha Sasana, and the government should take serious note of this situation, the UNP said in Parliament.

The attraction of 'worldly life' - sex,alcohol,wealth etc., are too strong to resist for those who became samaneras at a tender age of 10 years, to renounce the 'worldly life' before they were capable of understanding same.
In Burma, monks are out collecting alms in public, early morning. Monasteries where they live, get donations of sacks of rice, vegetables etc. They really practice the code of ethics laid down by the Buddha, for his followers/disciples.Laymen are allowed to become monks for temporary periods upto two years.
The "great" philanthropists here,who seek nirvana by erecting statues & temples, will attain it sooner by supprting the sangha,without publicity.

We should be happy that they have disrobed without actingf as decoys for all sort of nefarious characters including the JHU, The UNP and the UPFa.and becoming businessmen in robes seducers of girls and boys narcotic dealers.

The minister has made an inappropriate statement about young Bangladeshi Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka. He has failed to notice that large numbers of Bangladeshi Buddhist monks have been studying at several universities and Privenas in SL. And many of them have completed their studies and came back to society and contributing for Buddhist affairs and social well-being in Bangladesh and around the Buddhist world. There is no guarantee that 100% can be perfect. There are monks who may do certain misbehaviour, but he can't generalize it for all Bangladeshi monks. If any individual monk doesn't behave appropiately SL goverment should take action aganist him irrespective of nationality.
