Only where there is generosity based on virtue, without any demand or objection in the world, Gems could be met.

At least you know how it came about in the past till here, and why it nevertheless disappeared. And why one should hurry up and not waste time in the net of lures of Mara.

The thing is, Nyom blazer , that this days hardly anybody wouldn't demand, just take, hardly ever really given. So used to consume.

So it's good to don't blame sellers, it's the common market wheel, what ever color painted. Pets as well as pets keeper seek each other. So always proper to leave certain relation, if finding oneself caught, limited, in it, wishing for more sublime, or freedom from relations, with gratitude.

Less are that blessed, had been that wise and restrained, to never having been fallen into the trade traps.

Just important to recognize them as far off and not at all related to the Gems, but thieves, and to don't part-take, how ever luring it might come about.

Can't but agree on everything.
The first is very true. As soon as crisis advance, inevitably for many reasons, consumers are going to have a very hard time.
Wish to see few virtuous communities arise and flourish.

Agree and seen by myself.
Having been misguided by a corrupted monk brought consequences and suffering to me.

At the end they are selling their own good, wellness, health, providing polluted teaching.
A lose-lose deal.

A shaved head and a robe has become a sex-symbol since people with strong wrong view and lack of any integrity, punks, gained ordination... and there is no way to escape other then this occupied path.

Heritage sold out to 'feed the "poor" (eg. mentally poor, immoral: fools)'. Just for a short living before far off for long, long time.

The answer is truly shameful. It is so common today by people of no understanding or bad view to answer this way, just insulting. It is so bad to see that a bhikkhu feels ok selling Dhamma while years ago i felt giulty selling financial products...
just ridiculous.

It's already long tradition by the former "Western Brahmans" (Jewish and like-a-like) , after having started, to continue to occupy the Dhamma for trade and even when happening to become ordained go out and trade and sell Dhamma for a living, and for different agendas...

Not only that receiving things in exchange is wrong, not to speak or putting Dhamma in one's ownership, receiving money is a fault, trading with householder is a fault, using money is a fault, and what ever obtained by use of money has to be forfeited toward the Sangha.

And it's more then a shame that not only lay peoples leader, similar doing trade in Dhamma in India and all over the world, ask for reduced prices, this very "monk(s)" but those monks seriously delight to give the Dhamma back toward the land of origin with reguced price editions...

Both let others even celebrate themselfs for their shameless stupid in the area of the Buddhas shrine.

It's so outstanding ridiculous, what people like Bodhi do, that no words for that shame can be found.

While on one side occupying the heritage by professional sales, their offsprings under Rober Robin hood Sujato Bhikkhu do on the other side by professional open source trade, and "making tradeable by putting under GNU", benchmarking...

One who "buy"s into such ist't different then the origin and can be sure that having part-taken on worlds largest ever undertaken thief an destruction of all good cultures.
