Re: Buddhist monk jumped off motorway bridge
Would anyone know the background behind this tragedy? For eg, the number of vassas, his monastery, if there are any reports regarding his meditation experiences. The intention is not to find faults but to identify any incidents that we could mark as red flags.

I didn't know Colin, but to judge from the photos on his Facebook memorial page I would guess that he was relatively new to Buddhism, for as recently as 2015 he was pictured drinking and sea-fishing.

Re: Buddhist monk jumped off motorway bridge


This monk was possessed by an "asura"(demon) and nearly lost it...

"He, the Blessed One, is indeed the Noble Lord, the Perfectly Enlightened One;
He is impeccable in conduct and understanding, the Serene One, the Knower of the Worlds;
He trains perfectly those who wish to be trained; he is Teacher of gods and men; he is Awake and Holy. "
--------------------------------------------
"The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One,
Apparent here and now, timeless, encouraging investigation,
Leading to liberation, to be experienced individually by the wise. "
