 Thanks Joanna, for posting this article. I think there's a lot of truth in it, the days of the junta seem to be numbered, but we don't know if it's a large number or not. It looks like the sangha has changed to. A monk was quoted “I’d rather have democracy for our people than nirvana for myself.” Has Theravada Buddhism changed?
