Obviously if he was a good monk and follow the buddhism guidelines
during his monkhood people work not criticized him instead they would
praise him. Think about that!

That is an individual. She/he has the right to do anything he wants as
long as it's nog against the law. The rule of Buddha does't have any
restriction on anyone except its sentimental values. If one choose to
respect that value, a group of people in that value would praise him/
her. On the other hand, the same group can accuse anyone who have done
bad things to that value. They can condemn or whatever they want.
However, they must respect that personal individual rights as a person
to live in a free world.

Becoming a monk and leaving the sangha are matters of individual
choice.
While “Cambodian Buddhist believe that by offering gifts to monk,
they
will get good karma in return”, the use of the fund by the monk is
the
subject of interest.

stay
monk for a period of time, stay monk forever. If that is the case,
there is no single man to marry cambodian women.
only a few monks decide to stay in the monastery for life.

If the messenger has a checkered past (collect the money during
monkhood to be used as the dowry for his bride for example),
there is
a possibility that the delivery of the message will not be
efficient
because it is the law of moral causation (karma).
In this case, the critics take the opportunity to reveal the dark
side
of the previous life of the messenger (real or imaginary monk) and
dishonestly ignore the merit of the message (which is good
enough to
be published by well known newspaper Phnom Penh Post).
The real issue is the suffering of the poor Cambodian farmers who
are
being robbed and harassed by the state machines of two countries
(their own and their neighbor).

Dear Lok Pu Sombat;
If you were there, many people were there, I apologize that I
cannot
recognize you. You admired me as a good monk (previously) in your
first message, but later you become feel frustrated about my
choice of
education and accommodation. I am grateful for part of your
interest
in Buddhism and the Buddhist monk conduct. But I suggest you to
talk
with many more people here in this link (http://
www.dhammaram.info/
documents/Recognition%20Certificate.pdf) and learn more about the
teaching of Lord Buddha particularly in part of Viniya and
Pathimokha
discourse.
- I got scholarship from EWC for that subject. Political science
is
not about power competition but about understanding the nature of
social issues/phenomena (like Thomas Hobbs said people are
animal by
nature. Each has discretely planned to take advantage over another
endlessly."
- We don't have Buddhist temple in Hawaii for monk to stay yet.
The
current temple is just a temporary sala chan (dinning hall) in the
farm which is used for occasional ceremonies and it prohibits
people
to stay there. It is very very far away from the University.
Please accept my sincere regards,
Sophan

Hi Chon, my location has nothing to do with my statement about SS
pretentious. And will not change my view of this issue.

Pretend that you are not living in Irvine, Ca, Honolulu, Hawaii,
Canada, France or Poipet for a moment but actually living as a
Cambodian farmer (not a monk- fake or not) in Koh Kban Kandal
village,
Samrong commune, Chantrea district, Svay Rieng province
(Cambodia or
Vietnam ?), what is your interpretation of the event?
