The Drama of Sitting and Eating Rice in the Bowl: Examining Criticism and Beliefs at Wat Pura Ban Pao Temple

Father explains the drama “Sit and eat rice in the bowl” Just making it look like a folk metaphor. Tell society that you have the right to criticize. But believing there is nothing wrong.

On September 12, 2023, reporters reported that It has become an issue of criticism in the online world for the monk clip. Sitting and eating rice in a large bowl, causing many people to express their opinions. Is it an appropriate action or not?

Recently, reporters traveled to Wat Pura Ban Pao, Nong Kham Subdistrict, At Samat District, Roi Et Province, which is the temple shown in the clip. Inspection found that there was a large alms bowl. Located on the 2nd floor of the sermon hall. which is a bowl used to hold flowers and offerings Diameter approximately 50 cm. Made of stainless steel. The kith and kin bought it as an offering to the temple for approximately 20,000 baht as a memorial. and is auspicious

Ask Phrakhru Ubon Khemaphon, Deputy Abbot of At Samat District. Abbot of Wat Ubon Borathip which is the monk who sits and eats rice in the alms bowl Said with a smiling face, The fact that I had rice in the bowl yesterday It is probably the first one in the world that I actually put in a bowl. Previously, people said The monk has rice in the bowl. But there was no actual entering into the bowl. The word “I’m rice in the bowl” Which is said to be alms and then put the food together in a bowl. Then mix together and me together

Yesterday there was a cultural street event. At Pura Ban Pao Temple The district together with local leaders local leader and fellow citizens as well as the Sangha A cultural street event was organized. To help vulnerable groups in the area According to the policy of the 10 sub-districts, I therefore went out to participate in activities and work together.

After finishing the activity I was invited to go play. At the temple’s sermon hall and saw a large bowl So I thought that if I could just sit and eat rice in this big bowl, It is truly considered to be the first one. I put rice in the bowl So I sat down and watched. When the kith and kin brought food to share Well, I’m a little formal. Let it be seen that it is really eating rice in the bowl.

He further said that I have never been ordained for 50 years and this is the first time. I don’t think it is wrong. It is not an easy thing to do. It’s a real practice. I weigh 52 kilograms and am 166 cm tall. In society, people criticize Whether it is appropriate or not It’s up to you to think or reveal.

Dhamma criticism Society can criticize it already. But the criticism You must have Dhamma principles for your body and mind. The ego is already able to criticize. Because I don’t think there’s anything wrong. Just showing what the villagers said metaphorically. “The monk has rice in the bowl.”

As for Mr. Suwat Baochanghan, Atsamat District Chief Mentioning the said case: The story of the monk sitting in the alms bowl He already knew the matter. and think that you have your own reasons It must be acknowledged that he is a monk who practices well, acts rightly, and has a cheerful personality. And is respected by the people, including children in the area, who know it very well.
