Local conditions ?
Yes. Some local conditions do apply ...but only in area which
do not directly violate Buddha's teaching and his rules
for monks. Buddha had very strict rules governing the
behaviour of Bhikkhu (monk) in a sangka (place for monks).
By claiming a superior human state, as a religious king,
Dalai Lama has violated one of the four cardinal rules for
which a monk will be expelled from monk hood.
A monk will be expelled if
1) he had *** with female or female animal
2) he committed thief or other crimes
3) he killed another human being.
4) he claimed a superior human state. (all monks are
equal human beings.. no king, no lord, no royalty)
Since there is no one to expel him from monk hood in
Tibet, ....he is NOT regarded as a monk by the other
Buddhist abbots.
