I have noticed of late several “monks” spreading very strange teachings online. Upon investigation, I have found no lineage, no ordination, and almost zero qualifications re. Dhamma. And yet they have managed to penetrate quite deeply into the upper echelons of monastic life. One such person is a man going by the name of Ajahn Tri Dao, who has become wildly popular on TikTok, is not affiliated with any sangha or monastery, is not ordained, and seems to be teaching concepts very far removed from the canon. Another is someone called Vasu Bandhu (the name says it all).  Have you heard of these people? Should we just keep quiet and let these people be?

kind regards,

CM Long
