Dear Devotees into the Dhamma,
I sincerely shall use the language to make
publicly the bitter experience that actually has happened in the SAMNAK
SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA.
I am not satisfied with the Gombak MCA
Division chairman (Yip Kum Fook) and the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION
chairman (Yip Kum Fook) because he used vicious and arrogant means in bringing
in a group of individuals from other places to provoke and trample the sacred
ground and without any sound reason called in the police to forcefully detain
the monk so as to humiliate worshippers of Buddhism.
I strongly would like to ask here that
what great sin and crimes had he committed to the extent of you Yip Kum Fook
lawyer by means or by crooks called in the police to detain a monk-like him?
I came from Penang, I was a newcomer, and I
temporarily put up at the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION to study and
learn to practice Buddhism. While at the temple, I could not bear with the way
Yip Kum Fook lawyer behaved, your uncourteous, arrogant and unexcelled attitude
in treating the Temple abbot.
Because I said a few words about your
behavior to you Yip Kum Fook, you resorted to such dirty means to hurt a monk.
It is indeed unacceptable and cast a very bad example.
For a school principal, if his and her
student has committed an offense, the police must as a matter of courtesy meet
up with the principal, try to understand the actual situation, before the police
take any actions. This is the usual practice.
But it is sorry to say, that Yip kum Fook a lawyer who himself is a lawyer chose to have done.
Otherwise, he did not act in accordance
with the teaching of Buddhism and looked down on the spirit of Buddhism for the the sole purpose of showing off that he is the powerful chairman of MCA Gombak
Division and the chairman of the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. He
demanded the police to detain the monk so as to realize his motive.
It is very fortunate that due to the fact
that religion itself is a sensitive matter, even the Malay policemen understood
and respected the religion, culture, and customs of other communities, so they
did not rush into taking any actions. Otherwise, the consequences would be
catastrophic.
I understand why Yip Kum Fook lawyer was
furious and flared up. The main reason is as follows. The abbot of the SAMNAK
SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. He has been the abbot for 20 years. He was the
architect and played a pivotal in raising fund the public to build up the
Temple.
The abbot was alarmed to find out that a
new person like him Yip Kum Fook lawyer; the chairman of MCA Gombak Division
did not walk the talks. His talks were beautifully decorated with humanity,
virtue, and morality.
But in practice, he always marginalized
and pushed out those who did see eye to eye with him. The Temple committees
were instead made up mostly of his relatives. Moreover, the Temple fund was not
managed in a transparent manner. Ultimately, his true motive was to turn the
pure and sacred ground into a political stepping stone and political ground and
from a place of worship into personal property.
The abbot was well aware of what had taken
place, but in order to look preserve the whole wellness of the temple, he gave
him Yip Kum Fook lawyer well-intentioned advice. But such advice was not
well received, it made Yip Kum Fook lawyer unhappy, restless, and ran wild.
Instead of heeding the advice, he made use of every opportunity to create
problems and to persecute the abbot and monks so that they could no longer stay
and left the temple.
Yip Kum Fook lawyer and the chairman of
MCA Gombak Division whose villain's design is obvious and whose style is
hypocritical is known by everyone... your sweet words can deceive and mislead
some people some of the time, but you cannot do it all the time. The karma or
preordained fate of Buddhism will definitely befall.
As my last word, I would like to take this
opportunity to bless him, may Yip Kum Fook lawyer wake up to reality, repent
before it is too late. Do whatever is good, shed the evil.
Your Dhamma,
Ven. Phra Piya Dhamma
Penang, Malaysia.
