Tanahseng Clutched May 15, 2012 Share May 15, 2012 This is not new in Singapore. but last night I encountered this "monk" at Club street, he is not those Thailand or Myanmar monk. Is those Chinses Shao Lin Shi type, holding a stick and a bowl full of notes. I know monks will not ask for money, but both my friends offer him $2 each. Anyone encounter this monk at the mentioned area? Please share! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanmachine 6th Gear May 15, 2012 Share May 15, 2012 Confirmed a ' bogus monk ', I went thru my monkhood in Thailand and knows the difference of novice v bogus monk, Monk do not come out after 1130 am onwards, they stay inside temple Monk do not collect or distribute buddhist paraphernalia in exchange for monetary gain Monk only places thy can go is the market place in the morning Monk do not come out after dark Monk do not touch woman folk hand Everytime you see a monk in hawker-ctre, along the street is fine, except to collect alms, nothing less. In thailand, Bangkok & other rural provinces, people line the street to greet the monk / give him breakfast / oranges or vegetarian thai curry / rice for his daily meal, only one meal a day. After 12noon no more meal, prayers and mediation follow suit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanahseng Clutched May 15, 2012 Author Share May 15, 2012 (edited) Personally saw one botak in monks robe came in a audi at an acquaintance funeral. That type doing those funeral one is not monk, they are Sai Kong. Mostly very rich one. But this type of monk collecting money, confirmed is fake, but I ask my friend , they said nevermind lar, just give him $2 , so he will go away!!! 3 of us, they gave $2 each......I ignored, maybe I not that soft hearted! If I were alone, I will just ask him, which temple you from? But he definitely not those Thailand monk, I suspect is Chinese "monk" Edited May 15, 2012 by Tanahseng Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
