Sad to see, hear and listen to this kind of incidents. Doesn't know what has happened to our buddhist monks in our respective religion buddhism. I'm a generation born buddhis from down south Ahungalla though I live here temporary and its hurts by watching online newspaper and live TV news bulletins. Our times monks lived in tempals in calm peace and religious way. Wish and hopes to come back the same old days. Buddhusaranai.
