SEVERAL thingS to know!~
If someone tells that he is a Buddhist, becoz it's appear in his/her birth certificate, HE/SHE is not a buddhist.
If someone tells that he's a buddhist becoz he's worship to buddha he's not a buddhist!
IF SOMEONE UNDERSTAND THE BUDDHA, HIS TEACHINGS, & ACCEPT THEM & TRY TO ACHIEVE THE NIBBANA (NIRVANA) HE/SHE IS A BUDDHIST!
Today they are massive amount of monks who are not real buddhist monks! To be a monk, he must be a monk with both his mind & body! But above said monks are just body only monks!
Buddha has expressed that if a monk break a sil of upasampada silaya, he must be a samanera or disrobe! if you find someone who has not qualities of a buddhist monk, you must reject him! but do not blame to the name of monks!
If greedy persons who are appear like monks, request meat for dana, you have to simply reject him from dana! don't give any for such monks!
SO DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND REAL BUDDHIST MONKS & FAKE MONKS WHO CARES THEIR COMFORT!
ONE FINAL NOTE!
THEY ARE VERY PURE MONKS IN THIS ISLAND! THEY ARE GEMS TO PROTECT PURE THRRAVADA BUDDHISM!
NEVER BLAME TO BY NAME OF MONKS! BECOZ IN BUDDHISM, SANGA IS ALL ARIYA MONKS! IF YOU BLAME TO A MONK BY NAME OF SANGA, YOU COLLECTS UNBEARABLE LOT OF SINS!
IF ANY MONK SAYS THAT, EATING MEAT IS NOT SIN! FORWARD HIM TO THIS THREAD! I WILL TEACH HIM BUDDHISM!
DEMAND = SUPPLY
IF SOMEONE DEMAND MEAT, BUTCHER KILL ONE MORE FOR HIM! ANSWER IS SIMPLE IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN! WE HAVE REQUESTED TO KILL!
SO WHY DON'T WE GET SIN?
