Regarding the misunderstanding and subsequent walking out of the meeting, the <b>The Life and Times of Luang Phaw Wat Paknam</b>, suggests that the western bhikkhus may not have been aware of the respect expected towards the Abbot and hence the damage that would be caused by walking out. It may be helpful to draw on Skilton’s analysis who highlights the role of the interpreter, who may have miscommunicated or simply omitted mention of particular aspects.<br /><br />As it’s a sensitive matter it may be well be why the account in the biography of Luang Phaw Wat Paknam is kept vague.Paul Traffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180404719893389714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15893824.post-61359072467065363102018-01-06T07:00:46.710+00:002018-01-06T07:00:46.710+00:00I didn't quite follow what you meant led the m...I didn't quite follow what you meant led the monks to walk out, and/or the misunderstanding.Tharpanoreply@blogger.com
