Tension at scandal-hit Dhammakaya(21 Photos)

Police surrounded Wat Phra Dhammakaya in Pathum Thani this morning, preparing to raid the Buddhist sect's temple and arrest embattled abbot Phra Dhammajayo, who failed to report in to acknowledge charges against him before today's deadline.

Meanwhile, thousands of Dhammakaya followers sit and pray near the entrance of the temple. - Post Photographers
