A few days ago Tan Casipo said to me, 'Some people come here with so much dust in their eyes it's unbearable to talk to them. ' What does that say about the monkhood? He can't tolerate people with 'dust in their eyes. ' All that these monks have developed here is a safe little self-centred world which they call holy because villagers bow down to them. Living in a forest and wearing a robe doesn't make you better than anybody else.
It's a very important thing to learn to talk to people you disagree with.
