1. He is showing significant cognitive decline compared to his past achievements.
2. He has lost balance in his arguments.
3. His deep devotion to Buddhist faith is keeping him going.
4. I am not saying he is showing big scale mental clouding but his rumination is a worry.
5. He should be made to write his ideas instead of giving YouTube presentations.
6. My gut feeling is, the YouTube which brought him to prominence will ruin his life.
7. There are lot of YouTube guys waiting to pounce on him.
8. He will live long, if he is looked after with care and sympathy.
He has made lot of enemies around him and they are the ones who are prompting him to make endless mistakes.
9. Anura and his clan who (are politicians) are dead against Buddhist Revival and are waiting for his catastrophic fall.
He should not request anything from this government except its eventual downfall.
10. If his clientele wants to make him live long, he should gradually wind down his YouTube presentations.
Each presentation would show more of his cognitive decline.
11. I do not think Western Medicine will do any good at this juncture but being a vegetarian by conviction he may be lacking lot of micro-ingredients.
His cognitive decline may be related to this factor of lack of vitamins and thyroxin by coincidence.
He is bit chubby and bit of weight reduction (perhaps helping his wife at home), would help. I am not sure of his leg and deep vein thrombosis is rare in the tropics but it can happen.
He should be prescribed an age appropriate vitamin supplement but too much supplement may have deleterious effect.
12. I am making this observation as a retired medical man with geriatric experience with genuine sympathy.
I would not make any further comments and I would not follow his rantings in future. However, I would read most of his books, if I can lay hand on them, and I begin to love his Sinhala Style of writing.
My current interest is protecting Dhamma from destruction within. In my opinion it is the rouge monks who are doing the bulk of the damage.
We as laymen should keep away from engaging with these monks.
Let the monks sort themselves and I have no trust on "Buddha Sasana Ministry".
The Ministry for their part is fueling the conflicts for their own survival.
It is a diabolical situation.
I am glad I am not in Ceylon at this moment.
For arahats there are only 8 mandatory precepts and they are very simple
Our Buddhist monks fail on at least 3 of those eight including celibacy.
They are worse than lay people.
