ReplyDeleteNever blame or insult a Bikku no matter what he does for the consequences are very grave.Read Dhammapada for more details......
ReplyDeleteisn't therea buddhist order, or some control by senior monks who can vouch for such an achievement!

ReplyDeleteIt is a real pity that there is no such system in this country. In order to vouch such an achievement,one should be an equal or above.But people who really have achieved any one of the four supreme states of mind:Sowan-stream winner;Sakadagami-once returner;Anagami-non returner & Arahath never make public statements such as this.If a bikku with a higher ordination(upasampada) makes such a statement,he very clearly violates the 4th Parajika.There are 227 rules laid down by the Lord Buddha for higher ordained Bikkus and the first four rules are called Parajikas.The 4th rule forbids to make public statements such as achieving any of these 4 supreme states of mind. If anyone does so,he will loose his Bikku-hood and his higher ordination completely.
ReplyDeleteObviously it is not the body(rupa) which makes such transformations,but the mind(nama).So why change ones name and appearance ? I pity him.
