Phra Dhammajayo search: Thai monks clash with police

Scuffles break out in a tense stand-off between Thai monks and police at the Dhammakaya Temple.



Thai Buddhist monks of Dhammakaya Temple and their supporters scuffle with police officers outside the temple in Pathum Thani province, on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand, 20 February 2017.

The clashes broke out as monks and temple devotees defied police orders and continued to gather at the temple north of Bangkok on Monday.

The stand-off began on Thursday when police launched a search for the temple's former abbot, Phra Dhammajayo, who is wanted for alleged money-laundering.

It prompted thousands of devotees to show up in defence of the abbot, in scenes similar to a 2016 stand-off when police attempted a search.

Some monks were injured in Monday's scuffles and were led away for treatment. No major injuries have been reported so far.

Mass prayer sessions were conducted outside the temple. The temple's followers are known for their intense devotion, and the group has often been compared to charismatic cults.

Thousands of police and soldiers surrounded the site on Sunday. The military had sealed off roads leading to and from the temple and put the entire area under their control.

Officers so far have failed to locate the abbot while searching the 4 sq km (1.5 sq mile) compound, which is nearly 10 times the size of the Vatican

One of Thailand's largest and wealthiest temples, the Dhammakaya temple is known for its giant golden dome resembling a flying saucer.

Is it reasonable??

       

        Thailand has been known as a Buddhist dominated country even the new Constitutional Drafting 2559 B.E. of Constitution Drafting Committee has mentioned that "Thailand has no National Religion", and several International Buddhist authorities also located in Thailand. As the world's largest temple, Wat Phra Dhammakaya has been serving the public for almost more than 4 decades with the great Abbot who is Phrathepyanmahamuni (Most Venerable Dhammajayo). He has devoted the past 47 years to the propagation of Buddhism and Dhammakaya Meditation, which has attracted millions of devotees in Thailand and in 80 branches in 33 countries around the world. He has done all this voluntary donations, without a single Baht subsidized by the government. His many awards and recognitions from Thailand's Senate, multiple foreign governments, and Buddhist temples and associations across Asia.

           Recently, Phrathepyanmahamuni has been accused for money laundering with inevident and called for appearing to sign the acceptance allegation of the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). Unfortunately, his medical condition is getting worse and unable to go for the call, instead the DSI was invited to Wat Phra Dhammakaya with the unreasonable refusal which is the beginning of the series of violent to Wat Phra Dhammakaya and the relevance. Actually,  Phrathepyanmahamuni has absolute human's rights to refuse the call with no respects at all from DSI. Finally, Phrathepyanmahamuni cannot be found and unable to get him to sign the accusation notice outside Wat Phra Dhammakaya. DSI sequentially issued the DSI Conscription notice, then Search Warrant, and then Arrest Warrant with the use of Section 44 to disregardfully seal off Wat Phra Dhammakaya. What is the reasons behind this story? And what is section 44?
