[QUOTE="AtulaSiriwardane, post: 4901189, member: 120286"] [CENTER]Monks make it a mess, consciously or unconsciously just like politicians. When the water is troubled fishing is easy. Most of the monks don't practice and don't allow others to practice also. A majority does not know what it is. There are some monks who really practice. but very few. Once I met a monk at a vipassana center who taught Buddha's teaching in Cathelic Priests Trainning college near Kandy. He was talking to me after the Vipassana course. He told me, "I became a monk when I was 9 years old, now I am 45 years old. Since now I was content. Now I feel that I have wasted all these 36 years without practicing.' If he was taught Vipassana when he became a monk how much he could have developed. [/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
