Sure it could be that Bhante is that "poor" or all around him not so wise, or practicing the ox-equanimity... but it's really not inspiring faith, to appear dressed carelesses, not proper in public, manifold colors, householder dresses... if knowing a camera runs means being in the middle of the village! It's certain disturbing seeing such conducts, similar like Bhante Chantasaro in his own made "Cheesdinner-Dhamma" series, where he talks on Dhamma like oncle coming back from work, eating fast to go to bed and lai people watching his chees-cutting struggles, holding their knees, watch and listen... the man dresses like a householder at evening next his wife...
Spoken on "We don’t need anything to be happy!", which is certain not the Buddhas teaching: One needs Vinaya, needs Dhamma, not only at first place, but also made ones own, to do happy for oneself and also pleasing for many, encouraging!
At least ones disciples would follow ones habits, quick, so good to keep that in mind if not wishing to fond simply a copy, like a a group of donkeys running after a cow heard.
Sure, some will be quick angry about my persons encouragement, but maybe another likes to take part on the compassion and goes on to forward the link/wink, to the Venerable ones.
