While villagers near the temple gave information that this monk had been at the temple for nearly 20 years, he was previously the deputy abbot. and became the abbot in place of the former one who died many years ago. It is well known among the villagers that the abbot has a coquettish personality. At the temple there are 5 monks and novices and a number of temple children, including teenage boys, who liv
e in the community near the temple. Visit the temple regularly. But in the past there had never been anything derogatory. As for the images that were complained about, they admitted that they looked inappropriate and could be viewed from many angles. If it were a child who went in and gave the monk a hug or a kiss on the cheek in exchange for a little pocket money, nothing could be further from the truth. considered not serious Because I must admit that the Buddha In many temples it is like this. But if it goes beyond that, it is unacceptable. If a complaint leads to an investigation, it’s likely a win-win. And despite the coquettish behavior But the abbot is also a developer. Making the temple a good center for the villagers.

The image of the monk hugging and kissing a child does not reach the level of parachism.

Vice President of the Chiang Mai Provincial Cultural Council The Religion and Culture Department said that from the picture, it may not be a serious violation of monastic discipline to the point o
f being a pariah. But it may not seem appropriate to the ascetic form, it is a lokavaccha, that is, it is an inappropriate expression. and it is something that the people of the world criticize and criticize as inappropriate and inappropriate for monks. But when society criticizes or complains, there should be an investigation for clarification. and take any action on the part of the Sangha administration

As for the complaints, there may be many causes, such as conflicts in the yellow robe industry, child snatching, child jealousy, and conflicts of interest within the temple. or even make a complaint with honesty But de facto it must be accepted that the behavior of monks in this way is very common and has been for a long time. Whether it is taking care of children at home, temple children, drivers, even showing off children. But it is an internal matter that no one knows about. Therefore, it is considered to be a benefit to the defendant.

The abbot has disappeared from the temple and cannot be contacted

t
oday (2 May). Officials of the Chiang Mai Buddhism Office Go to the area to inspect the temple again. After learning from the temple committee that the abbot has not yet returned to the temple and cannot be contacted. But he ordered his closest disciple to come and pack up the things in the cubicle and prepare to move out. The student said he did not know where or when the items would be taken. because the abbot could not be contacted Had to wait for the abbot to call and order again.

Meanwhile, the committee had all 5 temple children leave the temple for peace of mind and to prevent problems later on. After this, there will be no more temple children. As for the abbot who leaves the temple, it is a matter for the ecclesiastical administration to consider disciplinary matters. As for the temple committee, they will wait for an official order to be released from their position. After that, there will be a meeting to select a new monk to take the position of abbot.
