Haamuduruwo + N 70 = ???


This is a scenario i faced lately.

I was at a phone shop with a friend to buy a phone.

Then there came a buddhist monk(about 30 ~years old), and wanted to know about Nokia N70 !!

I was surprised but more surprises came when he asked the salesman to show the spec sheet of the phone to confirm that this has 3G !
why on earth a monk wants 3G? especially in Srilanka where limited 3G network available.
Maybe to "Dharma Prachara" with 3g and Bluetooth printing. ;)

Even the shop owner a young guy, was astonished when the monk called him "Aiyya" !!

i would lke to know your ideas/opinions about this.

i think these behaviors affects buddhism and stopped by some authority.

ihave few questions also.

1. how do these so called monks get these money?
2. why are they are still live as monks, i mean they can be normal person and do a job (maybe they already do that)

I saw a monk askin and buyin a Intel Core 2 Duo proccessor :confused: , which is 24,000/= a piece, when I went to buy a pc. But it could be for some pc they use for education purposes.

Well... just to add to the story guys, the place where I live here... there is a small shopping mall in my next door, and I often go there to buy things... I have seen more than 5/6 times Sri Lankan monks come in pairs to buy Hand phones!!

I was wondering these monk doing business or what???
DAMN!!! so much so for "Middle Path" Lord Buddha asked them to follow!!!

[sri_lion]

Oh by the way!! welcome buddhikamh to elakiri if i haven't said so!!!

No I think there are temporary monks! Who giveup after a year or so!

They better be!!! While some great monks in the country in a fight to protect our nation and religion these clowns having the time of their lives and the best part is getting worshiped for that!!!:angry: :angry: :angry:

hehee right as you are guyz, this is a common misconception we all come across... there ARE real monks who live their lives according to the REAL buddhist way... on the other hand, try to ignore lashing out comments at these so-called-pretenders cuz if u r a buddhist, u myt b knowing that its kinda sin to insult the CHEEVARAYA, not the person within.. oh n that was just my idea, okay?? hope i diint offend anyone...

Yeah... its true what you said!! Its a sin to insult the Robe (Cheevaraya), but I dont think anyone here mean to insult the robe of course, its the person we mean!!!!

[lasitha3]

jst try 2 get dis k.... nvr say all da monks r very gud...bt i think mayb its a trap from (mishanari ppl) buddhist against ppl...bcz dey wnt 2 creat a bad picture about monks in our mind...so we shld knw how 2 identifi a real monk...otherwse if get a bad idea without any flexiblty....automaticaly we will fall in 2 deir trap...

Provided that this was a real Monk,

Is N70 really a necessity for a Monk?? Even Sri Lanka's 3G infrastructure is still in infancy!!! I really can't think of a way to justify it!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
