Phra Phayom Harshly Criticizes Viral Clip in Monk Community: Nuns Battle for Temple Abbot's Affections

Phra Phayom harshly criticized a viral clip in the monk community where a nun is challenging a temple abbot from Nonthaburi province. On February 20, after recently having eye surgery and wearing dark glasses, Phra Phayom commented on the situation, describing it as shameful and comparing the dispute to fighting over a single urinal. He advised the nuns to be more rational in their devotion and warned that excessive passion can lead to inappropriate behavior. Phra Phayom suggested that if the allegations lack clear evidence, the accused has the right to deny them, but if concrete proof emerges, one must accept the consequences.
