» Thai governments in the past have made a grave mistake in allowing the Dhammakaya Buddhist sect to build a temple on a vast piece of land as large as 2,300 rai -- despite the fact that normal Thai Buddhist temples are no larger than five or 10 rai. This has caused consternation among Thai Buddhists that this is not Buddhism according the original vision of the Lord Buddha.
