Buddhist temple leader in Louisiana accused of recruiting Vietnamese nuns for sex

Abbot Quyen Van Ho, the head of Tam Bao Temple in Baton Rouge, has caused irreparable damage by “violating his vows of Buddhism, including his vow of celibacy,” the suit reportedly claims.

“Quyen Van Ho’s immoral actions have caused all monks, nuns, and novices (except Quyen Van Ho himself and one other monk) to leave Tam Bao Temple. Because of this, membership has decreased and therefore the ability to raise funds by members of the temple has decreased,” the suit filed in April read.

Temple members have called for Ho’s removal from the temple after accusing him of impregnating a nun in the spring of 2018. He allegedly sent her back to Vietnam after an abortion clinic denied the procedure because she was too far along in her pregnancy.

I'm loving the scandal as it helps to wake up all them other temples. 

Temples to me are like cults because there is a wall and within them walls, no one is suppose to know what they are doing.   Until the FBI investigate that is. 

Vietnamese in Louisiana, when I was growing up there were predominating with Vietnamese Catholics.  In other words, if you run into another Viet person in Louisiana, good chances that they were Catholics. 

It is until I moved to California where the role is flipped as the majority of Viets in california seems to be of the Buddhism sectors.  So the idea of running into another viet in California will not yield me with another Bother or sister in Christ. 

Matter of fact, I never heard of viet buddha temple in Louisiana before.  I always thought of these temples were Chinese as we all see them portrays in kung fu fighting movies.
