    Less comedy, more dhamma

    Life, Suwitcha Chaiyong, Published on 20/09/2021

    ยป A couple of weeks ago, two well-known monks -- Phra Maha Sompong Talaputto and Phra Maha Praiwan Worawano -- held a livestream talk show on social media that attracted 200,000 viewers. The chat led to several debates between their supporters and opponents since it was different from typical dhamma talks or dhamma preaching. The two monks used several teenage slang expressions and joked with their viewers who commented via the live chat.

He was criticised for not being not calm or having self-control as a monk should.
