- Would you like some candy? - How much?

Twenty baht.

Pick one for me.

Here you go.

- Keep the change. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Would you like some candy?

- You didn't have to come if you're busy. - Bye, then.

- See you. - Asshole.

- What the hell? - Want a drink?

No.

It's for you.

Isn't it your birthday?

What? You remembered?

Of course I remembered, asshole.

Hey, not bad.

What's this?

A lucky stone for good luck and a smooth-running business.

Smooth, my ass. I don't want it.

It's not for you. It's for Salt.

Don't you dare throw it away. It was pricey.

Fine, if Salt will wear it.

Would you please splurge a bit?

Why would I? You ain't my woman.

That's all you got for me?

- It's dry as hell. - That's your rice.

You asshole.

THE BELIEVERS

MAKING MERIT BY DONATING COFFINS

Did you contact the USDT trader?

Yeah.

Hey, who's the new monk with Father Kiw?

I caught a glimpse of him.

His name's Ekachai.

I heard he used to be here and went to study in Bangkok.

Will he be a problem?

Let's wait and see.

Shit.

What now?

Don't give me that look. I'm not here to squeeze money out of you.

Jeez.

Someone wants to sponsor us.

This one?

Who's she?

A local politician.

She saw that we're good at throwing events,

so she wants to be a regular sponsor.

You bring in money now? I thought you only eat money.

Hey, watch your mouth.

Only corpses eat money.

So, are you guys interested?

Let's do it.

Okay.

Do we have enough residences for the monks?

How hard can it be?

Pick a plot. Except the ordination hall. We need to tear that down.

And once we have the plot, have Dear design it.

I'll take care of the rest. It won't be hard.

Okay.

Okay.

REQUEST TO SERVE AS SPONSOR FOR GROUP ORDINATION OF 16 MONKS

I bow to you with respect.

If I have ever been careless or made a mistake...

Hey.

- What? - Do we have any more Phapa trees?

- We ran out again? - Yeah.

- I'll order more. - Do that.

May you find happiness and prosperity.

May you flourish and thrive.

May you be well and content.

May all beings find happiness

under the Buddha's guidance.

May you flourish and thrive. May you be...

Sadhu.

Sadhu.

Sadhu.

I rejoice in your merit.

I have some documents for you to sign.

Here you are.

Since we have many monks residing at our temple now,

I think we need to build more residences.

- Would you handle this for me? - Sure.

Let Monk Ekachai know if you need anything else.

What's that medicine?

It's Chinese medicine. A tonic.

Would you like some for yourself?

- Oh. - You've aged a lot.

- Hey, watch it. - Tang.

He's a monk.

I'm sorry.

- Tell me if you need anything, Chaiyong. - I will.

Hi.

Exchange money?

- Yes. - Get in.

- What about the rest? - No, I'm not exchanging it.

What do you want it in?

- USDT, please. - Okay.

YOS' LAWYER OFFICE

YOS' LAWYER OFFICE CALL 084-621-3775

How can I help you?

I'm here to see Lawyer Yos.

Lawyer Yos, a client's here to see you.

Hello.

So...

Was the traffic bad?

No.

Do you like to play golf?

I don't play golf.

Then all these...

all these trophies,

how did you get them?

In my line of work,

one needs to have what we call...

prestige.

I see.

- Want some mango? - No, thanks. I don't like it.

The amount you've paid

isn't enough to cover this month's interest.

Right.

The interest rate is 20%.

Don't you remember?

I remember.

Well, it's...

very high.

I don't care whether it's high or not.

My responsibility is to ensure the debt gets paid.

All done.

OUTSTANDING BALANCE: 45,020,000

Okay.

I'll be on my way.

- Hang on. - Yes?

Next time,

please try to be a bit more punctual.

You were 15 minutes late.

Sure, of course.

Take it easy now.

Goodbye.

When you have wealth, friends gaze upon you.

When tarnished, those friends regard you as animals.

When you have nothing, no friends seek you out.

Upon passing, even animals turn away.

May you be blessed.

Right here.

Oh, right here?

This area seems bustling now.

You're the reason this area is beginning to thrive.

Did someone give you sugar cane drink? Such a sweet talker.

Choom! Pull over.

PHUMMARAM TEMPLE VISIT, TASTE, WATCH, SHOP, JULY 9-15

Master, PCM. Ae won't be sponsoring our temple's annual event this year.

She only donated funds for merit-making.

Which temple is she sponsoring?

Just a moment.

BUDDHIST LENT EVENT AT PHUMMARAM TEMPLE

It's in our temple network. Phummaram Temple.

Led by Monk Veera.

Then you should find... Make a sign, look for a new sponsor,

and put it up now.

I will.

Right this moment. Right now.

Right, right.

If you have come to know Buddhism but don't try to make use of it

by learning from Lord Buddha's teachings,

that is neglectful.

For that reason, now that you've heard the teachings,

let's put them into practice.

All right, everyone.

Close your eyes. Let's do some meditation practice.

Behave. Listen to the monk.

Stay mindful of your breath. Be aware of your presence.

Students, come and line up over here.

- Namaskar. - Greetings.

I want to ask about your availability for recording clips and podcasts.

Can't you record during my sermons?

The audio quality isn't great, so it's better to record separately.

When are you available?

I'm available every day. I'm not going anywhere.

I see.

Master! Master!

My teacher wants you to sign this.

You're so pretty.

Do you have a boyfriend?

I have a bunch. Why? Wanna hit on me?

Master, do you think she's pretty?

You can't ask him that!

Dear!

Follow me! Hurry!

Just come and see this.

Shit.

I don't know how close you are with Tang, but you can't play favorites here!

- What's this about? - How would I know?

They requested me.

You're just lying. You don't even know the chants.

Fallen monk!

Fallen monk, my ass!

- You fuck! - Stop it!

- Scum! - Wait!

Get out of my way!

- Game! - Let go!

- Fuck! - Step back.

Let's kick his ass.

Fucking asshole!

- Fuck! - Pong, enough!

- Pong, don't! - You fuck!

Let go!

That's enough!

What are you all doing?

Do you know engaging in a physical fight could lead you to getting defrocked?

If you're not considerate of me, at least be considerate of the abbot.

What's this all about?

These monks keep accepting service requests and not sparing us any.

They requested us. What were we supposed to do?

We entered monkhood to study Buddhist teachings,

not to exploit it for personal gain.

Have you no shame at all?

I'll discuss it with the abbot and sort this out for you.

As for all of you,

it's time for repentance.

From now on, after the evening chants,

I'll post the queue of requested services for each monk on the board every night.

Except for you,

because our monastic activities differ.

I think the problem occurred because our temple has gotten bigger.

More monks have joined, but we've never had a system to organize.

RULES FOR ACCEPTING REQUESTED SERVICES

All monks residing in this temple

must follow the rules drafted by the abbot and me.

If anyone is dissatisfied or unable to follow the rules,

the abbot is open to allowing you to reside elsewhere

or to leave the monkhood.

That'll be all for now.

You're free to go about your personal activities.

But let me reiterate, don't let anything like this happen again.

He who is the Peaceful One.

The Worthy One, the Perfectly Enlightened One.

The Dharma taught by the Blessed One is well-spoken.

The Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples is well-gone.

Can you continue?

I seek refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.

With these offerings, arranged in accordance with the Buddha's guidance,

we pay our respects.

Please come out.

Did everything go well?

Yes, everything went well.

Who has the collected merit funds?

I do.

Madam Phon said that...

She said that monks from our temple could chant so beautifully.

That's good.

Please be our temple's eyes and ears.

The abbot said you know every corner of the temple.

That's right. I know every corner. You don't need to worry.

May I be reimbursed 2,000 for gasoline?

Bring me the bill.

Look, the tower is getting destroyed. Let's crush them, bitch. Get them.

It's getting destroyed. Get them. Idiots.

- Hello there. - Yes?

Hello.

Continue playing. I don't mind.

You're Game, right?

Yes.

Father said you're in charge of the temple's accounts.

I just help Uncle Tang with it.

Then help me sort this money.

Here you go.

Did Uncle Tang leave that with you?

Put 1,000 baht in each envelope.

Okay.

This is the rest. What do you want me to do with this money?

That's for the temple's general funds. You can keep it in the safe.

Okay.

And I'll need your help to print this for me.

Sure.

If you're leaving, could I give you documents for Father Kiw to sign?

I believe it's a sin to have monks do things for you.

My apologies.

Give them to me.

All right.

Here you go.

I'll print the document for you now.

- Please do so. - Sure.

SRIMONGKOL

You're really pulling off being a monk here.

Go. Just get lost.

All right, bro.

Tang, here's the money.

Did you count it?

Come on, at this level, no need to count.

Give me a cig.

The guy with the gold watch asking for a cig.

- Is it even real? - Oh, fuck off.

You asshole.

It's fake.

What? Where's the real one?

- I pawned it. - Oh, shoot!

Give me a cig.

I've got none left.

Yesterday, Ekachai fucked us up.

Hey, Tang.

Since fucking Ekachai took over from the abbot,

it feels like we're gonna be screwed.

It's so hard to get in and out of the temple.

That's right. He made me and Chit plant trees all day.

- If you don't believe me, ask Chit. - Is it true, Chit?

Yeah.

- I'll crush him some day. - Hey.

Calm down.

Just do what he says for now.

He's probably trying to show off to the abbot.

It's better to stay in. Try not to go out.

It's nice. More time to sleep during the day.

That's true.

What's that sound?

- What? - What the fuck?

Hey. Let's end it for now.

- Now what? - Told you he's on our side.

Who the fuck are they?

What the hell?

I'm so sorry about this.

It won't be like this tomorrow night.

Hey, get the hell out of here!

Hey, Kai, hit pause now.

Who the hell is that?

Is it a thief?

That's me.

I'm sorry.

It must be Singto and his crew.

They like to come in here with their motorbikes.

Do they have so much free time? They've been coming all week.

It's normal for them.

I don't know what they're taking now. They're amped up non-stop.

Tell the police?

Just ask the police to set up a checkpoint.

Let's not tarnish the temple's name.

I agree.

Is it possible that

since our temple has become well-known, other temples may have issues with us?

That's probably true.

The remaining days of Mrs. Jamroon's funeral,

I propose we host it for them free of charge as an apology.

What do you think?

I agree.

- Please take care of it, Game. - I will.

This way, Father.

Just let it go.

MAILBOX SPECIAL CHECKPOINT

PHUMMARAM TEMPLE

- Thank you. - Sure.

Brother, I was wondering why you thought that

another temple did this.

I talked to the abbot last night.

He said one big-named individual has been sponsoring Mani Thong Temple's events.

But this year, she switched to our temple.

So that temple might be upset.

Brother.

This PCM recently began sponsoring events at our temple.

That's right. PCM. Ae. She's a local politician's daughter.

Folks around here know her.

So, is there really nothing we can do to that temple?

No, there isn't.

Their abbot is our district abbot.

- Will you excuse me? - Of course.

Hey, Note.

Come here.

What's up?

Do you know that temple, Mani Thong, Thong Mani, or something like that?

Oh, you mean the Sissy's temple?

Sissy?

How'd you get these?

Temple boys' group chat. It has everything you need.

I need more.

Of course. Sure thing.

I'll get going, then.

- See you at the temple. - Yeah.

Computer 17, you have five minutes left. Wanna add more time?

Hey, Mullet Boy. How much for buying out the shop for the night?

Bro, my shop is very busy.

If you take over, I'll lose my customers.

And what if

I give you 20,000 baht?

For real?

Does it look fake?

Okay.

Go ahead and use whichever computer you want.

Hey, hey!

Tonight,

I'm buying out the shop so y'all can play for free.

But...

you guys gotta do me a favor.

There.

SISSY MONK

When you comment, type in a bunch of nines.

SADHU

FUCK 999999

SADHU F.U. 99998

- Is this okay? - Let me see.

SISSY MONK FROM FAMOUS TEMPLE EATS BOYS' DICKS

That's awesome.

Don't slack off, yeah?

FUCKKKKK

See this? Fire back with an insult.

- Game on. - Get 'em.

Save this and flood the comments with it.

This one's cool, bro.

Cool, my ass. Get to work.

Keep it up, guys. You're doing great. Keep at it.

Do you know the game Pirate's Hell?

What the fuck is that?

How about this?

DEEP DIVE: FAMOUS TEMPLE'S SISSY MONK...

Hey, that's good. Post this on every page.

Every page? Okay.

- Get 'em. - Get 'em.

DEEP DIVE: FAMOUS TEMPLE'S SISSY MONK...

HE LIKES TO EAT DICKS?

Please don't look at the camera. Just look in my direction.

- We all set? - Yeah.

Please start.

When it comes to Buddhist holy days, most people associate them with monks.

Cut. Please wait a moment.

What the hell?

Please start over.

When it comes to Buddhist holy days, most people associate them with monks,

so they often make merit with monks

through alms

and offerings.

But, in fact, Buddhist holy days

actually mean days of Dharma,

listening to Dharma.

If you get a chance to make merit with monks,

it's also worth finding time to listen to Dharma.

Could you please start over from the beginning one more time?

TEMPLE BOYS

SHIT, A WHOLE ALBUM

Always maintain a pure mind,

and you'll see that

Buddhist holy days go beyond full moon and new moon days.

But in our minds, every day

will become a Buddhist holy day.

Okay.

How did it go?

I think it went well. I'll need to check the footage, but it should be fine.

By the way, next time, will it be okay to include a Q&A part at the end?

Many people have left comments asking questions.

So, maybe you could answer them in the next EP.

What sort of questions?

Something like...

Dharma, everyday life sort of things.

Do you have any examples?

I'll search it for you.

Don't trouble yourself.

You can ask your own.

After listening to me, is there anything you want to ask?

Me?

How about love and Buddhism?

Love and Buddhism, how does it work?

I mean, if

loving causes suffering,

does that mean one shouldn't love at all?

That's a good question.

- I think that... - Hey, Dear.

Do you think he did this?

DEEP DIVE: FAMOUS TEMPLE'S SISSY MONK EATS BOYS' DICKS

Please excuse us.

SHIT FUCK EATS BOYS' DICKS

SISSY MONK EATS BOYS' DICKS

Take it down quickly.

My goodness.

What am I going to do?

You're a good-named monk. This won't leave a mark on you.

What are you all doing? Hurry up!

Hurry!

From July 9 to 15, please join us for our big annual merit-making event

and cast the Buddhist Lent candle together at Phummaram Temple.

Come and see many famous artists.

Today is a good day.

It's the start of our first annual event here at Phummaram Temple.

The temple is going all-in, with a five-day, five-night event.

Not only that,

we also have one day of the Buddhist Lent candle procession.

Coming here this time means that

you'll be full of merit, full in your belly,

and most importantly, full in your heart, folks.

Maen, you're coming here drunk again.

Please join us, folks.

Please come this way for flowers, incense, and candles.

I saved this as the last spot for you ladies, which is...

the donation spot.

From redeeming cattle, to the consecration ceremony.

We often get infatuated and enjoy moments of happiness

without realizing that...

these things don't last.

So, when everything changes,

we experience suffering.

We often overlook the truth that...

if something brings you happiness, it also brings suffering.

Mrs. Wijit Kesorn, 50,000 baht.

Ms. Pranee Suetrongdee, 11,000 baht.

Ms. Chamaiporn Klaiduang, 999,999 baht.

Ms. Chamaiporn Klaiduang,

also known as PCM. Ae of Samakphol Sugar,

999,999 baht.

DEPOSIT UPDATE 15:05 999,999 BAHT...

- Have you seen Game? - No, I haven't.

The abbot asked me to update the temple's bank book.

Do you have it?

I think Uncle Tang updated it.

Could you please print a donation form for me?

Of course.

What did you graduate in?

I didn't.

I studied computer engineering but didn't graduate.

What led you to work at the temple?

I didn't believe in religion.

But when I came to know Buddhism,

I felt like there's a lot more I still don't know.

It's like I've found some answers for myself.

But there are still questions I want to know answers to,

and it's something very interesting.

BUDDHIST TEACHINGS

Your pen.

I'm returning it.

Thank you.

By the way, I've finished editing the first episode of the podcast.

I'll send you the link later.

Thank you very much.

The question you asked me.

I have an answer to it.

It's true that love brings happiness,

But happiness and suffering often come together.

If you decide to love,

you need to be prepared for suffering.

So, if you're going to love,

do it without holding on too tightly.

Don't expect the person to be with you forever.

So,

is it like a fan's love?

If that sort of love means

not holding on too tightly, not expecting, then it probably is.

Because no matter what happens to the person, we won't suffer

since we know it's just the way it is.

It's impermanent.

It's temporary.

But if we hold on too tightly or expect,

we will suffer.

The truth is, nothing

can truly belong to anyone.

That is non-self.

Honestly, what you said is really difficult to do.

What about you? Have you ever been in love?

It won't be long

until our work here is over.

Please enjoy.

Sure.

MANI THONG TEMPLE

Shit.

Sorry, excuse me.

- Here you go. - Hey, Note.

- Have you seen Tang? - No.

Give me the microphone.

Here.

Announcement. Mr. Chaiyong, please come to the front of the abbot's residence

right this moment.

I repeat, Mr. Chaiyong, come to the front of the abbot's residence now. Thank you.

Go.

Namaskar, Master.

Why are you so skinny? Let's talk inside.

It's too hot.

Temple boys here are quite good-looking.

Hi.

Do you want to sit?

I'm okay, thank you.

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, UNCLE TANG?

ABBOT'S RESIDENCE MONK VEERA ITSAVARO

The elder monks are talking. You don't need to go in there.

I'm the abbot's assistant.

So am I, and I'm sitting right here.

Let's sit here and wait.

Uncle.

- Where have you been? - Out running errands.

What errands?

Lots of them.

Take care.

I will. Thank you.

Oh, you folks.

Come talk to me inside.

Okay.

I want to thank all of you

for helping to improve the temple to where it is today.

I never thought our temple would be thriving like this.

Brother, could you please step outside for a moment?

I'm going to ask all of you to stop your involvement with the temple.

Why is that, Father?

Did you see Monk Songchai who just left?

He's the district abbot.

He came to tell me to stop,

and he wants us to stop holding night events like the one we're doing

and being limited to merit-making events only.

He will send a committee to inspect our temple.

Hold on.

That's cheating.

- Why do you have to comply? - Game.

He's a monk.

We've put in so much work.

Do you want the temple to go back to how it was?

I'm well aware

that you folks are doing this

to make a living off my temple.

What's going on here?

Do you want a larger share,

or has Tang not given you enough?

Game!

Tang.

Please understand me.

If I don't do this,

I'll have to go live somewhere else too.

All right.

That's settled, then.

Also,

return the temple's bank book to me.

Tang, call Ekachai in for me.

Yes, Father.

Can we finish up with this event as originally planned?

- Tang. - Yes?

- Lift me up. - Okay.

You do realize the temple is where it is because of us.

What the hell, Uncle?

Shouldn't you return our money since you can't honor the deal?

Just calm down, all right?

Let's wait until the event is finished, then I'll talk to the abbot myself.

And tone it down a notch, will you? Don't come on too strong with Father.

How much cash do we have left now?

- Not enough to cover the next payment. - And the money on Defi?

Still won't be enough.

Why does Father Kiw have to have a problem now?

Although, it might be because of

me.

I dropped a bomb on their temple.

I knew it, you asshole.

Even if you didn't, they would've come anyway. If not this temple, then another.

Then...

how about we pay Father Kiw to quit being a monk?

You're at it again?

He won't do it.

What's the remaining debt?

More than 40 million.

Shit.

PHUMMARAM TEMPLE

SADHU PHUMMARAM TEMPLE

Keep fanning, harder.

Will I get to eat?

Yeah, keep a steady motion.

Kai.

Oh, Venerable Brother.

Why eating here this late?

If we eat near the monks' residences, the smell might tempt you guys.

Clean up after you're done and remember to put out the fire.

Of course.

Let's dig in.

That was close.
