I just cannot understand why in the hell would some ppl still cannot stop to support him......
This is because the people are of blind faith and has already ignored the teaching of Buddha. They become the followers of the monk rather than the followers of the religion. Here they will consider monk = the religion, everyone will do what the monk says.
The fact that pissed me off most is that they are trying to be in denial that there is wrong doing in the whole matter. "Yes, he did break the law but out of good intention". This is bullshit and only tells that he is not taking responsibility of the matter at all. When you break the law, you break the law no matter what reason you gives. Should one not be prosecuted for murder if he did this in good intention?
The attitude is exactly the same when the whole incident started, " I won't be too worried about the issue" was the comment given by Ming Yi when they were first investigated. If he is really that good a Buddhist practitioner, I am not seeing any.
Probably he has forgotten that he is a monk and where ever he goes, he represents the Buddhist society, it is not only the Buddhists who look up to him as an example, he is also judged by non-buddhist. What he does reflects the image of Buddhist in the society.
You may argue with me that Buddhists do not care about image as they tends to emptiness, now empty this, you are not here to practise Buddhism to liberate yourself, but also to influence others to follow the same path. That is the insttruction given by Buddha. How are you going to do that when you show people how suck the Buddhists' attitude is to the society?
I think the most important thing is for the Buddhists to wake up and smell the coffee. If you want to argue about selflessness, dick this, it is not what you think, it is what others think that matters.
