Bhutanese Monks, the mastered Assasins.

Firstly, I disclose I am a Buddhist, by birth, and I am glad having known much about this particular religion than any other religions in the world. It jogs my dead-eye of Gautama Buddha, cheerlessly. From his early age, he picked up the meaninglessness of life without being consequential to others, which saw him to the foundation of "Buddhism." Bhutan chanced under its influence and of course with much love, devotion, and enthusiasm. People embarked going to temples, rounding clock-wise around religious monuments, anti-clock-wise rotation of rosaries, building monsters of Statue like the one in Thimphu, hoisting thousands of prayer flags on mountain tops, and all in our ingenuity was Buddhism. Above all we believed in enlightenment. But, have we regarded Buddhism well? Have we done enough to become one? Only the retired monks have answered these questions. Regrettably, I am not a withdrawn monk to make it all right.

I passionately deny agreeing the practice of Buddhism. Today most of the religious sites have become a whore house, and a one numbered dating places in the country. What we formerly believed has turned us down. What we didn't believe has become a life for us and what we regarded is being denied by us. Secluded monks have danced a whopping role in the moderation of face of Buddhism, and it has become like a disease corrupted by an ill virus. The virus infecting the ailing monk pushes him to retirement and when he cracks into the society, he can't anymore hold on the virus. All he needed to do to salt away his bad conscience is to kill people, rape girls, rock with artificial hairs in the clubs, drink gallons of cheap beers, wear C-graded out fashioned Indian T-shirts & fast fading black jeans and first-generation sunglasses. Monks are widely known to bird-dog religious practice, aimed at enlightenment of self and other beings meanwhile. However, today I have mastered their true color. I am not always blown away by news headlines such as a retired monk stabs a boy, a monk impersonates some great figures; a monk is charged for rape; a monk is suspected for laptop thief, and much such relevance. I can only be hopeful of definite next headlines by a monk. That is all I have learnt about so far.

I was quite taken away by the news headline "Four charged for killing a 26-year-old man." However, my fidelity in Buddhism didn't settle me wrong since one of the four was an ex-monk, and in-fact it was an emeritus monk who actually stabbed the boy. This is all about Buddhism preachers. Robed monks might battle it but never can they deny this hideous truth. Most of the crime-related headlines in BBS and www.kuenselonline.com are of Lord Buddha's direct followers; I mean monks. Lord Buddha himself might be ashamed of it, seeing them evolving into military monks ready to perish for the country. After all, Lord Buddha would at least want a country to live in, although he is renowned for non-possession of materials.

These monks would constantly catch a sight of and prevail in heart of society. Bhutanese monks are the true inspiration for the ancient warlords. I prefer the phrase "the mastered Assassins."
