Dhammakaya spokesman monk tells followers to use peer-to-peer network
A monk leader of Dharmmakaya Temple on Saturday encouraged followers to be calm and not be panic over reports that Department of Special Investigation has cut off all Internet and mobile signals at the temple.
Phra Sanit Wuttiwango, temple’s communication director, urged the followers to download “App Fire Chat” to communicate among themselves.
The spokesman of the temple wrote in his Facebook page that the download needed Internet but to use the app, no Internet is needed.
The cuts of the Internet and mobile signals is the DSI’s latest attempt to enforce the Article 44 that put the temple under controlled zone. The move is affected the signals about 500 meters around the temple.
The temple’s core group, particularly Phra Sanit Wuttiwangso, has been active in using social network system in countering the authorities that want to search the temple that covers about 3,000 rais of land.
The DSI wants to locate the former abbot of the temple; Phra Dhammachayo, who is wanted on charges of money laundering, among many others.
