The world of social media criticizes loudly. The monk eats rice in a giant bowl What was it done for? Is it appropriate or not? "Phra Phayom" said he was born 74 years ago and has never encountered it. He advises you not to focus on strange things. It's no use. If it's strange, it must be strange to be useful. Asked if it was a violation of discipline, it was not wrong, but the people of the world did not praise it.
From the case of the Facebook page named Buddhist news Posted a clip of a monk sitting and eating rice from an alms bowl. By sitting in a large bowl, I have rice, water, and energy drinks. with a message stating: “His Royal Highness Luang Phor Deputy Abbot of Roi Et Province, I eat rice in the alms bowl.”
After the clip was published This caused netizens to express their opinions and ask questions. What is it for? Is it appropriate to do this?
In this regard, Phra Phayom Kalayano, the abbot of Wat Suan Kaew, said that in his 74 years of existence, he had never encountered a monk eating rice from a giant bowl. It is the first in the world. Did the throne in the giant bowl make a wish? Or is it showing something strange? Doing this is called making yourself difficult. Instead of sitting me out comfortably Make yourself difficult with diligence and effort to achieve the Dhamma. It will be good and useful. But making effort to make yourself difficult is not beneficial. Doing this, I don't know where the benefits are. Just look at it and it's strange. It's a lot of things. Sometimes the disciple likes the master and does strange things.
however If you do it, your suffering will subside and your defilements will subside. It is considered that there is no wrongdoing. In order to get up and move forward, you must have someone to help and support you, which is quite difficult when you look at it. If you fall or the bowl is toppled, you will hurt yourself. Try to do as much as you can to end suffering. Don't focus on strange, useless things. If it's strange, it must be strange to be useful. To the students, please support them well. If you fall and hit your head on the ground, it will be dangerous. Don't encourage doing strange things. Let alone getting out of the bowl and stepping into it is dangerous. Because the bowl is not very big. You may think that doing that is a magician. Ask the students to help warn each other. Since I was born in my 74 years of life, I have never encountered anything like this before. This statue is the first in the world. If it's in a blister, have you ever seen it? But I've never seen this in a giant bowl like this. Asked if it was a violation of discipline, it was not wrong, but the people of the world did not praise it. – Thai News Agency
