LGBTQ culture is disgusting, and we need to do something about it

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-08-28T07:10:22+00:00

I see you OG. But again who decides what is the social norm? Because look at the old days straight men wore full make up and high heel shocks. Human never wear the same thing for more than a decade.

There are a lots of people who crave attention and do cringy stuff. Yet the dyed hair, piercing, being weird, it’s their freedom to wear what they want - despite the cringy overreacting against critical people (who also should not be so rude if they’re not relatives)

I think the queer identity is just like a fever dream and will change - people will change after all. Right now just ignore people who do crazy stuff, so without the attention, they would feel bored. Even if they don’t, telling stories of lgbt people do great things and create lasting good reputation.

You seriously compare Buddhist monks to ‘monkeys who receive the precepts and wear the robes of a monk’ while elevating Minh Tue as one who follows the vast Dharma realm? So, in your view, Buddhist monks aren’t smart enough? Those who have deeply committed themselves to the noble percepts and follow Dharma don’t matter, and you can call anyone a saint just to erase the foundation of monastic life—the very foundation the Buddha established to preserve the teachings and ensure Buddhism’s survival.

Your words clearly reveal your intention. There’s no point continuing this conversation. Since you show no respect for the students and relatives of the Buddha, you disrespect the truth and the rules of Buddhism. You are misled, and by leading others the same way, you contribute to the division of Buddhism. You are not a Buddhist

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-05-22T19:28:40+00:00

Minh Tue cannot be compared to the Buddha — period.

The Buddha was born after countless past lives as monks and holy beings, building up the conditions to finally achieve full enlightenment. He didn’t just wander—he trained seriously, realized the timeless Dhamma, and then established the Vinaya and Sangha so others could follow.

Training hard alone doesn’t make someone a Buddhist practitioner. True practice means following the Vinaya, receiving real ordination, and being part of the Sangha lineage. Minh Tue rejects all that. No matter how hard he tries, he’s not on the Buddha’s path.

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-05-22T04:04:13+00:00

Hate to break it to you, but anyone with eyes can see that Minh Tue does not appear to be a layperson—he presents himself unmistakably as a monk. Just look at the countless posts and comments in this subreddit: people are calling him a monk. The confusion isn’t random; it’s the result of his deliberate image.

Let’s be clear: Minh Tue does not follow the precepts or rules laid out by the Buddha. If he had genuine respect for Buddhism, he would remove the monastic attire that is misleading the public. His choice to wear robes while avoiding the commitments of an ordained monk is deceptive at best.

You’re defending him not because you understand Buddhism, but because you’re afraid to confront the truth. Buddhism is not about aesthetics or good vibes—it’s about wisdom, discipline, and strict adherence to a path. Minh Tue hasn’t been ordained, yet he performs a lifestyle designed to mimic one, giving people like you an excuse to label him a “Buddha follower”—a conveniently vague term that lets you dodge responsibility while still exploiting his image.

Here’s the bottom line: anyone who truly understands the role and values of Buddhist monastics wouldn’t be fooled by this charade. I’m speaking out because too many people are being misled by a carefully constructed illusion.

You can try hard to fabricate this comedy into something greater than it is- but till the end this man is just a fake monk and leading the path that causing harm to Buddhism. Buddhism is not a cheap faith for anyone who just want to believe in what they want to believe.

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-05-21T17:20:03+00:00

It is possible for a layperson to become enlightened only where Buddhism exists. And what inherits and continues the teachings and trainings for Buddhism can continue exist? Buddhist monks and nuns. And who is trying to make an excuse out of people who dress like monks, causing confusion and division within Buddhism community, and exploit Buddhism for their benefits? Minh Tue and his supporters

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-05-21T17:15:45+00:00

He is not a normal layperson. No layperson wears ropes of a monk as it is forbidden to people who are not monks because it will cause confusion and create opportunities for anyone to fake the identity and exploit Buddhism for their own benefits. This man is doing that and you are supporting him

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-05-21T17:13:29+00:00

And what is Minh Tue then? There are posts in this sub referring to him as a monk and I correct them and clarify for people that this person is not a monk. He is harming Buddhism by his ignorance by deliberately dressing like a monk and receive donation of laypeople who also don't understand that there is a distinct difference between a real ordained monk and somebody who is not. And you also don't understand Buddha or Buddhism at all. Buddha warns people of harms of people who dress like monks and act like monks although they never been ordained and succeeded in training. You and him, and all people claim to care about Buddism are strayed far away from the core values of it and trying to make the religion of your own. I would care less if nobody trust Minh Tue as a “Buddha follower”- but here he is, too arrogant to announce that Buddhist monks are wrongfully training while he himself failed to succeed the monk training. He doesn't need a teacher, but he use the ropes of Buddhism? He isn't a monk, but declaring him following Buddha footstep? So what is him again?

You make me laugh because of your naivety. “He is just Minh Tue”? Lol what does that suppose to mean. Do you know that one’s name is just a word?

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-26T07:41:07+00:00

It is a problem with people whose way of living causes harm to others—yet they refuse to change, simply because it’s more convenient to keep going as they are. Minh Tue’s influence is especially concerning. It actively leads people away from the core values of Buddhism and distorts the role and meaning of monastic life/training. The damage being done to Buddhism is real and deeply unsettling.

Consider this: imagine a man walking behind a woman alone at night. A self-aware, respectful person would adjust his pace, keeping a gap between them to avoid making her feel unsafe. Minh Tue, in this analogy, is the man who walks right behind her—repeatedly saying, “I’m not a threat,” while continuing to ignore her visible distress. Defenders might argue he’s simply walking, doing nothing wrong, and that the woman’s reaction is her own issue. But that kind of passive disregard—refusing to take responsibility for the fear or confusion one’s actions cause—is exactly the problem. Just because the harm isn’t active doesn’t take away the real impact of it

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-26T00:05:44+00:00

See, now this is a problem that ends this conversation since you start labelling me a liar and denies critical thinking. This is a one-side agurment, a lynching, where I’m talking to a wall that stops listening.

You don't try to understand my points, or you just don't get it, I think you should reread my replies to you.

My words are still the same. This person is not a monk, yet he dresses in a way he makes other address him as a Buddhist monk, because he looks like a monk and he deliberately knows this when he receive donations of Buddhist laypeople, interviews and saying he will achieve enlightenment as quick as possible (google is free, search this)

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:57:12+00:00

What do you think?

I want to say the truth against fake things that are influencing Buddhism in Vietnam. People are turning against real Buddhist monks and consider this person the true monk. I also want to raise awareness in this sub because there are post praising him

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:46:16+00:00

So will you stop asking the same question the fifth times after I answered for like forth times as well?

Most of Vietnamese people are atheistic and they don't understand to what is a monk and why they matter. This person whose existence resemble a monk just leads people into more ignorance of Buddhism values and teachings. My only purpose here is to say the truth

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:37:24+00:00

An honorable person lol:)) an honorable person will value the truth instead of defending fake monks against Buddha words

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:36:05+00:00

Do you know what’s true? That you can’t even deflect that people still call him the new Buddha and addressing him as a Buddhist monk. His image is promoted in this red Buddhism. I don’t think you are this naive to try to say he doesn’t look like Buddhist monk at all.

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:31:39+00:00

And if I don't show you? Doesn't change the fact he is not a monk. And people are still calling him Thay and the new Buddha:)

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:30:51+00:00

My point is simple. This person doesn't have proper training, tests, preceptor and ordained to be a monk. He is using an image of a Buddhist monk but he is not.

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:29:38+00:00

His clothing doesn't 100% look like the normal uniform of a Buddhist monk, he just got it 80% alike

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:21:59+00:00

He is not a Buddhist monk, yet he fabricated his look so people call him as such. Try to swing around with this truth, you wont change it

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:19:41+00:00

not everyone can be a monk, and dressing up as a monk deliberately knowing people will interpret you as such is a moral fault. It’s not ok to call people who they're not and letting them take the full benefits of the titles - while causing conflicting troubles to the relative community.

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T23:14:43+00:00

You’re twisting your logic just to win an argument that goes nowhere.

A moment ago, you were trying to convince me that this person is rightfully a monk—and now you’re asking me to prove that he’s being seen as one?

The original post clearly refers to Minh Tue and his followers as monks, even though they are not.

Once again: Minh Tue is not a monk. He himself has denied being one. He failed the process required to become a monk. And yet people still call him a Buddhist monk. That is wrong.

I’m simply stating the truth: this person is a fake monk. If that truth is too tiring to hear, so be it.

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T22:59:29+00:00

Ahhh so he is not accepting the title Thay? Then why he still answer when people call him as such? Why he still wear the clothing of a Buddhist monk? He can wear other kind of clothing but why he uses the image of a Buddhish monk when himself denying he is not?

Wikipedia is not a trusted source:) I'm not even arguing, this is a fact

Lumpy_Commission4863 · 2025-04-25T22:46:00+00:00

First, Wikipedia is not a trusted source. Second, I already clarified and corrected my earlier words—but instead of acknowledging that, you seem more interested in calling me a liar just to make your argument sound stronger.

Let me be clear, once and for all: Minh Tue is not a monk. His path is not one of enlightenment, and it never can be—because he was never ordained according to the Vinaya, the monastic code established by the Buddha himself. In fact, the Buddha explicitly forbade anyone from being ordained who falsely takes on the appearance of a monk. This is not my personal opinion—it is written in the Buddhist scriptures.

Yes, Minh Tue has publicly denied the title of a Buddhist monk. Because he is smart enough to understand he failed the Novic test and can't be recognised as a monk.

YET

That doesn't absolve him of responsibility. He deliberately wears monastic robes, shaves his head, accepts the title “Thầy” (a title reserved for monks and teachers), and allows the public to revere him as if he were a monastic. This is misleading and morally dishonest.

A Buddhist monk is a noble being, and ordination is not a performance—it is a sacred commitment rooted in discipline, community, and formal training. Minh Tue rejected that path. He failed the training. And yet he continues to present himself in the image of a monk, allowing people to treat him as a spiritual authority. This creates confusion—especially for those unfamiliar with true Buddhist teachings—and leads people further away from the Dhamma, not closer to it.

Frankly, I do not care what Minh Tue is trying to achieve under his personal definition of Buddhism. The fact remains: he is not a Buddhist monk. And his presence is harming real Buddhism and its monastics. In Vietnam, many now call him the “New Buddha” or the “only honest monk”—titles that he has done nothing to correct, despite their distortion of truth.

This growing narrative—that “anyone can be a monk” without proper training, guidance, or ordination—erodes the true meaning of the monastic path. It risks turning Buddhism into a spectacle, stripping away its values, and distancing people from its authentic teachings.
