it looks like Sri Lanka has many Buddhist Monks than any other country in the world. Does it mean it is an easy employment?

These are not real buddhist bhikkus, these maniacs are misusing the robe to utilize the free education.

Azmath Buhar Thursday, 30 April 2015 06:00 PM

Rightly said. They put the robes to enjoy maximum benefits offered by the UGC while other students suffer.

A real disgrace by the so called monks. Look at the way they are behaving, like monkeys. Tell these freaks not to disgrace the robe.

Are they Monks, Never seen monks trying to box the cops or each other wearing gloves and climbing gates. What a disgrace to Lord Buddha.

The Buddha predicted that the buddhist order would someday get destroyed from within..this is it..

Pukka Sahib Wednesday, 29 April 2015 10:48 PM

Gona Wednesday, 29 April 2015 05:49 PM

True not monks but illegitimate even at birth

BuffaloaCitizen Wednesday, 29 April 2015 05:33 PM

These are not monks, but time servers who take up the robe to enter university and gain the special privileges meant for monks and thereafter leave.

Gamini perera Wednesday, 29 April 2015 05:15 PM
