Wanted monk won’t be easy to catch – he can walk on water, claims disciple of “UFO” temple

Authorities surrounding Wat Dhammakai will have a hard job arresting abbot Phra Dhammachayo said one of his disciples.

According to his followers he can perform magic, can make himself invisible and even walk on water.

He also has the ability to make himself too heavy to pick up.

Disciple Ai Petchthong was talking to PPTV and quoted by kapook.com.

He said that the monk had divine qualities though he admitted he was a man and said that he wanted to die at the temple.

He said he believed that Phra Dhammachayo was in the vast compound but that he had not actually seen him himself.

“He is divine,” said Ai, “He can do things that ordinary people cannot. He is so very pure”.

He even claimed that the monk – wanted on 19 charges including massive embezzlement – can make himself appear invisible.

“Even if found he can also make himself too heavy to lift,” claimed the disciple.

And he said he has the ability to walk on water, referencing another religious character from the Buddhist faith who followers believe could perform such a feat.

Ai said he understood the authorities and had no beef with them but he was worried about the image of the temple in the eyes of the international community following the news.

Some 3,500 police, military and local officials surrounding the temple are biding their time in a standoff outside the massive grounds that features a vast central building in the shape of a UFO.
