Has any member or their boyfriend had much to do with the Dhammakaya movement?

Sounds a bit like the movie "Close encounters of the third kind".

No, I had never heard of it. You made me go to google to find out more.

Here is the foundations web site, with more pictures.

Well at least I now know what the DMC channel is on local cable - and explains my bf comment a while ago of 'they fake, just want money'

But stunning imagery in that report ....

I guess I'll have to drop this forum and start reading Foreign Policy. Great pix and layout.

A Thai friend lowered his voice and indicated the group is well-connected. No comment or opinion myself.
