The morality of pure conduct is classified as the sacrament of purity of morality, which is the essential basis of the monks for conducting oneself in purity so that monks can coexist in unity, bring beauty, order, and make faith. In Visuddhimagga, it is shown that one who is immoral, is not pleased with gods and men, is untrained by fellow virgins, who suffers because of the insults of immorality, one who is zealous for praising of the virtuous, for being immoral is one whose complexion is dull like the bark of a tree, one who has a rough touch because it brings misery to those who have taken his example for a long time. Reflection of the monks who rely on the religion by being ordained as monks for various reasons, but over time, may not be interested in the practice of purification of defilement, to become a common sin problem of monks, it is necessary to study and find knowledge in the Dharma practice in the discipline so that there will be no disgrace to the monks, it will not be a danger for monks in Buddhism, should not encourage the destruction of Buddhism by spreading the bad behavior of monks to the public too much. The role of monks has changed over time, temples used to be a source of both secular and dharma knowledge, later the role of monks in secular matters was reduced by economic and social conditions to the effect of Buddhism. It is unsustainable and may cause the monks to vanish faster than it is now. All Buddhist monks must purify the 227 precepts, spread the teachings of the Lord Buddha throughout the world, and make Buddhism flourish forever.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Academic MCU Buriram Journal}, author={Tejadharo, Phra Chanamet and Thangthongmadan, Sathien}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={335–349} }
