The incidents of Wat Phra Dhammakaya and all the charges

Throughout the time that Wat Phra Dhammakaya founded by Phra Thepyanmahamuni, there was no Thai media place importance on.  Even if there were any appreciations, it would be blamed the media were controlled by Wat Phra Dhammakaya.

Wat Phra Dhammakaya has been propagating Buddhism consecutively  even though there was no appreciation from group of Thais who never learned or practiced in Wat Phra Dhammakaya.  On the contrary, Wat Phra Dhammakaya was criticized and accused as a doctrine, hypnosis, etc.  As a matter of fact, Wat Phra Dhammakaya makes people to be good one.   The perception of outside views negatively against Wat Phra Dhammakaya because media's mislead.  These media set doubts without finding the truth, but presenting negative point of views by a few people who lost benefits from the good performing of laypeople who practicing in Wat Phra Dhammakaya.  No matter how much chaos faced, Phra Thepyanmahamuni has never failed to propagate the teaching of the Lord Buddha until he received many awards, certificates, and honors from many countries around the world from his leading role in propagating Buddhism.  But in contrast, in Thailand, it has been seen as an insane.  Nevertheless, Phra Thepyanmahamuni continues to make his disciples to learn to reach Nirvana following the teaching of the Lord Buddha.

In the midst of conflicts, Phra Thepyanmahamuni was accused about involving in misconducts by Thais who don’t have faith in Buddhism and even some Thais who claim to be Buddhist. Phra Thepyanmahamuni has never complained or blamed anyone.  On the other hand, these people continue scandals and claim this attempt is on behalf of Buddhist. It seems to be contradict because scandal and defame are all immoralities.  Unfortunately, some Thais who love to listen to the dark side of other people seem to admire and comply with these accusations.  Phra Thepyanmahamuni has been living in this unfavorable situation but still continue propagating Buddhism and support this propagation widely. Phra Thepyanmahamuni has been doing in various aspects

Administration

He is an Abbot with highly respect to the rule and monk’s discipline.  He teaches his fellows including monks in Wat Phra Dhammakaya, layman, laywoman, and all staffs to be in precepts all the time, live simply, not wasteful, and not use more than necessary until Wat Phra Dhamakaya was in famous of discipline, cleanliness, peaceful, and suitable for Buddhism activities.

Propagation

He is the leader in propagating Buddhism.  Though he teaches everyone to live simply and not wasteful, the propagation must require space and building. He, then orders to build the facilities for the coming laypeople.  For Dhamma Study Department, he also build the school for monks and novices.  Therefore, every building of Wat Phra Dhammakaya is necessary for propagating Buddhism.  The buildings may look gigantic, but they were built for purposes and necessity.  With all in order and tidiness, all these constructions look great.

Phra Thepyanmahamuni’s monastic

He always meditates and does inside-meditation all the time right after his daily routine.  He has never taught anyone to be naïve to wait for miracles. He has never convinced people to believe in fortune.  He intends to teach people to understand in the real religion.  Dhanna (Donation) is the way to raise people’s mind.  It has been taught since the lord Buddha’s enlightment.  Every monk in this era also teaches in the same way.  He is seriously ill and tries to fight the disease by his Dhamma.  He did not eat differently from other monks in Wat Phra Dhammakaya.  He does not collect any valuable things in his room except only medicine and necessary things for monk.  He has never touched money even a single baht.  All donated money or properties will be responsible by relevant departments to support the propagation.  He has never saved money, even small amount, for his personal use.  He has never have passport and never been travel to any country.  He propagates Buddhism only in Wat Phra Dhammakaya.

Accusation, offense, and prosecute Phra Thepyanmahamuni

Whether to charge Phra Thepyanmahamuni is right or wrong?  From the fact that appear, donated money so called Dhanna to monk was received by monk.  Should it be considered as guilty?
There was attempt to accuse as money laundering despite Phra Thepyanmahamuni had no power to force anybody to donate him money.  Donators were not neither naïve nor uneducated.  They donated from their faith.  How could monk know where the donated money come from or where rice in the monk’s alms bowl come from?  This charge is the weirdest.  If the charge takes place, all monks in Thailand should also be investigated.
