Actually these are all criminal monks selling the name of Lord Buddha to promote their criminality. It is an insult to listen to any preaching from such monks. They are simply not buddhists but dirty criminals hiding under the saffron robe.

I agree but sending them back temples is another wrong decision, it wont help buddhism. They should be sent somewhere else.

The buddhists who support and vote for such parties are also insulting the great teachings of Lord Buddha. This is why, sinhalese are the worse insult to Lord Buddha.

There is no damage to Buddha or the Arya Dhamma expounded by Him, nor to Arya Sangha who follow the direct path to realisation of four noble truth. Damage will be to those who call themselves Buddhists only for egotistic reasons.
