Hora!! Allapiayau!!! They are chasing rainbows of their malicious imagination.<strong>They remind us more of Angulimala chasing after the Buddha<\/strong>. Would their Master ever approve of such <em>Vinaya<\/em> from those who pretend to be in his image in perpetuity for the alleviation of Dukkha among the populace? Does wearing a yellow robe make a Buddhist Monk?<br \/>\nHaving failed to find any alleged &#8220;Horakama&#8221; the chasers have referred the matter to their international mafia friends.
