If you go to many temples you will find the living quarters of the long time monks are separated from the "temporary" monks only wearing the robes for a short time. Since the Buddhist lent ends soon, I would hope these pathetic excuses for monks were of the latter kind.

Another new low for the boys in saffron. Time for stricter guidelines for potential novices.
