I was pretty sadden by Mingyi the monk who confessed of lying in court.
He could have done the decent thing of derobing from monkhood before he goes to court. This is the very least effort he could put up with to prevent damage being done to the Buddhist community here.
Monks are supposed to be the role model for layman and they vow to take on hundreds of precepts just to upkeep their high moral standards.
Declaring in an open court about the lies he made as a monk as well as the community leader of Buddhists has caused tremendous harm to the Buddhist monk order.
