    "Temples rely on #public donations, but #oversight is thin..🧐 Faith, too, is often used to shut down #accountability. Many #Buddhists r raised not to question monks. Doubt feels like disrespect; criticism, almost a sin.. Te #law makes matters worse. Under te #Sangha sys, abbots hold near-total control over temple assets.. Faith doesn't exclude accountability; it requires it. Te concentration of power w'in te clergy also needs to be addressed"
