Coss Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 [color:blue]"karma-correction ritual" that's what I like, and now sanctioned by Nuns ! [/color] Famous nun accused of violating rights A so-called karma-correction ritual supervised by a famous nun shows a clear violation against human rights, National Human Rights Commissioner Visa Benjamano said Thursday. In the ritual, Maechee Tossaporn Tewapitak told a woman to correct her karma by welcoming sexual touches from a younger man. "The victim doesn't know her rights have been violated," Visa commented Thursday. She added that the nun used verbal violence during the ritual too. Visa said the advice given by the nun was inappropriate. Maechee Tossaporn has offered karma-correction rituals at the Pichayatikaram Temple in Bangkok for years.

Flashermac Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Wayward Buddhist nun is forgiven The Office of National Buddhism has forgiven a renowned Buddhist nun for telling her followers to rectify their sins through bizarre acts. The abbot of Phitchaya Yatikaram Worawiharn temple had warned the nun, Maechi Tossaporn Tewapitaktam, who later admitted that she was at fault and her preaching was inappropriate, Office of National Buddhism director Nopparat Benjawatananun said on Thursday. However, many Thai people still believe in superstition, he said. "I think this was the nun's trick to make troubled people feel relaxed and do good deeds. "But the nun's advice for her follower to hang shells in front of her room does have a sexual connotation," Mr Nopparat said. However, the nun had already apologised and she had greatly helped promote Buddhism in the past. She had told a woman to have sex with a young man twice to correct her sins. Another time she told another woman to hang shells in front of her bedroom door to prevent men from abusing her. This was because she had opened the gate to let the Burmese invade Thailand in her past life. She also said wives should 'wai' their husbands before sleeping with them - a comment that angered women's rights activists. Nuns are nutters!

Flashermac Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Sounds like one of the Yaksa in the Ramakian. Totsakan's sons have names like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I knew a woman who belonged to a similar group. Their guru would tell them every once in a while what sexual acts they were suppose to do and then they would go out and do them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
