The Karaka Sabha of the Sri Lanka Ramanna Maha Nikaya has decided to expel Ven. Rajangane Saddharathana Thero from the Buddhist monastic order, Ada Derana reported.
The decision comes following a series of controversial statements made by the Thero on social media, which gained significant attention and sparked public debate.
He is widely known as the “Heyy Monk” due to his signature opening remark “Heyy” at the beginning of his videos.
A senior member of the Ramanna Nikaya told Derana that the Karaka Sabha conducted a thorough inquiry into the recent conduct of Ven. Saddharathana Thero and concluded that his actions were not in line with the code of conduct expected from a member of the Buddhist clergy.
Accordingly, the Nikaya has formally taken steps to remove him from the Sangha, marking a significant disciplinary decision by the religious body. (Islandnews)
