In a nutshell, the sermon talks about living life in temperance. Set aside random people on the street, let's also ask Pranom Kongpikul, deputy director of the National Office of Buddhism (NOB), what living life in moderation actually implies. Pranom was recently accused of being linked to the embezzlement of 13 million baht in maintenance funds from Wat Phanan Choeng in Ayutthaya province. However, she asked the temple to keep only 2 million baht and donate the rest of the funds -- or 8 million baht -- to other needy temples. In total, the pilfering involved 13 million baht which has now disappeared, as if banknotes can evaporate.
