watched 2 of these Monk dummies in a Sorerento run a redlight and hit an old man riding a bicycle this past week; & they never even stopped!!!! hit & Run!!!!!!!!

I also see these guys dumping their trash in the mountain temple area near by where i climb the mountains daily!

where have all the Buddhist values gone?

i wont give them another 500w 4 sure when they look for donations on street playing a Mokta!!!!!!!

They have probably caught up with Christiananity now.... "lets just build a church and "have people "clients" feel important" - while we suck the money out of them - by making them feel guilty is they do not donate heaps of money....

To me Chritiananity in Korea is just another business... similar to Hagwons - that is - tell the "customers" what they want to hear as long as they keep paying the cash.... - maybe "buddhist monks" are simply joining the bandwagon....

Remember a few years ago when the Chogye sect was fighting with the other sect(don't remember their name)? They were tossing fire bombs at, and knocking, each other off of three story scaffolds because they didn't want to give up the cash cow of leadership of the temple. No matter how good something looks on paper (Buddhism, Islam, Christianity. Communism, Capitalism, or Socialism), when people get ahold of it, they're going to mess it up.

If putting on a particular garment were to purify the mind, there'd be a lot of enlightened people around.
