To you I am a fake monk.
I am a part of a Monastic order. We do not look to santa100 for ordinations or for continued inspection of Monastic values in the community.
I'll restate. I am a monk in the Dhammayut Thai Forrest tradition in Thailand.
I was ordained by a venerable Ajahn and teacher that is well known throughout the world. I live in a Forrest monastary with other monks. I wear the sapphron robes of my order.
Santa100 I understand you keep missing this but I'll restate it one last time.
My Monastic order, which is the Dhammayut in Thailand. Does not look to you for deciding whether or not someone is a monk in the Dhammayut. This order goes back hundreds of years.
If you have your own Monastic order of monks I understand that I'm not apart of that. I may in fact not be qualified.
May not follow the vinaya to the level that your Monastic order requires.
However. I am not apart of your Monastic group.
I am a monk in the Dhammayut Thai Forrest tradition.
My teachers and peers do not look to you.
However they do know me and spend time with me frequently. To them and the other members of the Dhammayut as well as the government of Thailand I am accepted as, live as, and am practicing as a monk.
I apologise if this is confusing.
Once again.
I hope you find peace.
