Monks with ipods and mobile phones in an internet café, shopping mall after shopping mall, you name it.<BR/><BR/>To say its against buddhism is a hypocritical argument, sadly. But like you said, it should never become a dogma, so these things being allowed are fine by me (and I think necessary for the country's and its people's development), but then dont cross a random line somewhere if you dont like where it's heading using the buddhism argument.<BR/><BR/><BR/>On a sidenote, I can already see the politicians buying their new condos and ferraris, their childeren shopping some extra at Paragon with the money theyre putting in their pockets if these casino deals go through. It's time for a true division of the executive, judical and legislative branches; Trias Policita.<BR/><BR/>Monsieur Montèsquieu, vous êtes où?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
