Buddhist Nun Advises Sex to Cure Sins

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.

Get thee to the nunnery ! :rolling:
Abandoning Dharma is, in the final analysis, disparaging the Hinayana because of the Mahayana; favoring the Hinayana on account of the Mahayana; playing off sutra against tantra; playing off the four classes of the tantras against each other; favoring one of the Tibetan schools—the Sakya, Gelug, Kagyu, or Nyingma—and disparaging the rest; and so on. In other words, we abandon Dharma any time we favor our own tenets and disparage the rest.
