Phra Phrom' warns after 'Baan Share Nong Carrot' collapses, tells monks to be aware, careful, and not fall victim to scammers. From the pyramid scheme case 'Baan Share Nong Carrot… has collapsed' published on a famous page, causing shock in the monkhood circle because there was a deception of monks in the Northeast to invest with a company that claimed to receive houses and cars within 5 years, claiming that the investment was to use merit to grow further. But in the end, it was a fraud, causing damages of more than 1,000 million baht. This case has received a lot of attention because it has affected the monkhood circle and the faith of the people. Reporters traveled to Wat Suan Kaew in Nonthaburi Province to meet with Phra Ratcha Thammanithet or Phra Payom Kalyano, the abbot of Wat Suan Kaew. He said that the incident reflected the carelessness of the new generation of monks who have become victims of fraud. Isan monks have only beautiful amulets, starting with 'Luang Pu Man-Luang Pu Waen-Luang Pu Cha' wh o are meditation monks. However, the new generation of monks are not knowledgeable and have become victims of these frauds. Monks should be aware and careful not to fall victim to people who deceive them by claiming money or seeking profit. Being a monk is not about leading the laity to lose their money or faith. Monks must teach the laity to understand the Dhamma and help support Buddhism. 'Rich monks have seen a lot of bad luck,' Phra Payom warned and emphasized that ordination should be done to be poor, not to seek wealth like ordinary people. For example, 'The Icon' should be an example for monks to be alert and careful when someone invites them to invest. If it is about making merit for religious benefits, it is trustworthy. But if it is an invitation to make money or profit, it should be questioned immediately and faith should not be used in the wrong way. Source: Thai News Agency
