This channel is run by the Dhammakaya order which is a cult unrecognized by the official Sangha, or Buddhism order in Thailand. An order which i have been looking at for the past ten years.

Dhammakaya has been the defendant on numerous lawsuits regarding embezzlement, non-payment of tax and land-encroachment etc... Dhammakaya is a cult which teaches its followers that if it weren't for the intervention of Dhammakaya monks and nuns during the Second World War, the US would have nucleared bombed Bangkok etc...

Former Abbot Dhammajayo in the late 90s escaped charges of embezzlement of billions of baht. Dhammakaya in Pathumthani is the only temple in Thailand where monks sleep in air-conditioned rooms, have lifts and visitors need to pass stringent security before being allowed entry. Dhammakaya is involved in politics and has been for many many years. During the Thaksin Shinawatra era as PM, Thaksin often used their 'spaceship' as a ground for propaganda. Dhammakaya was, however, used as a political base well before the advent of Thaksin, and that includes the Democrats etc...

Dhammakaya is a dangerous well-financed cult. See for example, a former article to The Nation by devotee of Dhammakaya, which was in fact a response to my own critical analysis of Dhammakaya just previous to that.
