Drawing attention concerning Ohammakaya and Most Ven. Dhammajayo
Honorable Sir, I am Bhikkhu Tapassi Dhamma from Nepal. I am chief abbot of Charumati Buddha Vihara, founder-president of Charumati Buddhist Mission Nepal and the President of WBSY-Nepal Chapter. I am writing to you a request as a Buddhist follower to draw your attention towards the news about the controversial criminal suit against the HH Most Venerable Phrathepyanmahamuni {Luang Por Dhammachaiyo] who is a great Buddhist teacher of not only Thailand but of the whole world. It is painful to hear him being treated wrongly and offensively in the name of legal case which we have taken as an attempt to defile our most venerable teacher's good name and reputation. So I strongly condemn Department of Investigation (DSI)'s behavior towards Most Venerable Dhammajayo. Besides, while the case is in the court, some Thai newspapers are publishing one-sided and fabricated news to besmirch not only Dhammakaya but the Buddhism itself which we have taken as an example of Yellow-journalism and we appeal Honorable Prime Minister to intervene such fabricated news from being published.
Honorable Sir, Most Venerable Dhammajayo is a symbol of Theravada Buddhism. He is the supreme teacher of all Theravada Buddhists in the world. His holy teachings of Dhammakaya meditation is practiced around the world by a large Buddhist and non-Buddhist population too. He is 72 years old and is most venerated Guru of Buddhist followers. DSI may have their own logic behind the investigation, but whatever that may be, we would expect them to consider his old age and fragile health besides his honorable reputation among the World Buddhist population. I also came to know that DSI issued an arrest warrant against the chief abbot Most Ven. Dhammajayo for not attending to hear charges while his legal team had requested to perform the hearing at the temple due to his ill health. It makes us feel that DSI has been acting unlawfully just to defile the good name of Dhammakaya and Most Venerable Dhammajayo. It will hurt Buddhist devotees and followers who honor Thailand as a flourished Buddhist land and who idealize Thailand for the honor and support the government had done in the past for the development of Buddhism in Thailand.
Honorable Prime Minister, Wat Phra Dhammakaya is one of the largest Buddhist Temples in Thailand. It stands as a uniting symbol of Buddhists from around the world. Dhammakaya has spread its wings around the world to teach and practice Lord Buddha's most needed moral teachings. Dhammakaya has stood as a strong, self-dependent and a powerful Buddhist organization that is popular for its humanitarian support to needy people from different parts of the world and promoting moral and peaceful living among communities. Dhammakaya is a holy shrine for us Buddhists from outside Thailand too. Dhammakaya has its wings in Nepal too, the birthplace of Lord Buddha. It has a very reputed name among Theravada Buddhist organizations in Nepal. Dhammakaya did a great support to the earthquake victims during Nepal Earthquake in 2015 which has been appreciated with gratitude by Nepalese people as a strong relation between Thailand and Nepal.
Honorable Prime Minister, I and Theravada Buddhists of Nepal who have known Dhammakaya and Most Venerable Dhammajayo strongly believe that Wat Phra Dhammakaya and the Chief Abbot should not be dragged into controversial trials and into such humiliation as it openly demoralizes, humiliates and attacks on the strong foundation of Buddhism and by the same token, on Buddhists in the world.
I humbly and sincerely request you to step forward to intervene and stop unlawful actions towards our honorable Buddhist institution and to protect this institution from being victim of some vicious plotting and injustice. Our hopes and faith towards Thailand’s justice system based upon you and your steps. Dear Sir. Please protect the glorious Buddhist heritage of Thailand, protect the honor of His Holiness Most Venerable LuangPoh Dhammajayo.
I pray for Lord Buddha inspire you to take good steps to provide justice to the most Venerable Dhammajayo and Wat Phra Dhammakaya! May Triple Gem Bless Youl May Thailand be blessed by Lord Buddha! May there be peace and happiness in the world
With Metta
" May all be happy and well"
