Because lying leads you to hell, you should not lie, especially for the benefit of sham monks. https://t.co/a9HA48S88A

Dhamma and Vinaya are not only for monks, but also for laymen to protect and respect. https://t.co/XBjdLi5mrj

Buddhist monks must honestly follow Dharma & must not be greedy/accumulate assets. Veteran monks must act as good examples for novice monks.

If the supreme patriarch is tainted according to Dhamma and Vinaya, which virtue can he teach to other monks? https://t.co/59rlf3rgtP

When will humans be able to escape the chaotic circle of attachment?How many lives would they have to be reborn before becoming human again?

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

Why do some monks act as if Dharma & Vinaya wouldn't survive unless Somdet Chuang becomes Supreme Patriarch? Shame for begging for position!

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

Please put up signs in front of your place saying, "we don't want a sham monk's preceptor as our Supreme Monarch". Don't let me fight alone.

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

Thais can show civil disobedience by placing signs in front of our homes saying, "we don't accept a stigmatic man as the Supreme Patriarch".

Only greedy monks accept luxury cars with an excuse that monks can't refuse what laymen donate. If guns were donated, monks have to accept?

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

As a good Buddhist, you should go to a temple not only for merits, but also for wisdom. To have a bright life, wake up from foolishness.

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

When donating to a monk, think first whether it'd be appropriate. Don't donate things like luxury cars that will end up harming the monkhood

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

A monk is regarded as an elder (thera) not because he's old, but because he's enlightened with Dharma (practices precepts, compassion, etc.)

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

Donate to get rid of your selfishness rather than hoping that the merit from donation will make you richer, making you greedy when you give.

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

The law should support & make Dharma (doctrine) & Vinaya (discipline) sacred. Please help think of ways to make Vinaya enforceable like law.

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

Purity or the lack of it comes from yourself. You cannot become pure from praying or sacrificing something to god/ghosts/deities.

[Buddha Isara @BuddhaIsara]

Police must arrest & disrobe Dhammachayo in a timely manner to stop fake monk relying on Buddhism to deceive people. Tardiness is injustice.
