这则影片有英文字幕翻译摩诃布瓦讲的话。
3:09开始，说明他为了泰国人的福祉，
（号召泰国人布施黄金给他）收集黄金转交给泰国央行。

Bua's finest hour came in 1997 when Thailand's economic growth rate fell from
5.5 per cent in 1996 to minus 0.4 per cent, inflation rose and the country's
foreign currency reserves fell from $38.7 billion to less than $27 billion
following a failed bid to defend the baht.
Emerging from his forest retreat, Bua decided to make resuscitating
Thailand's economy a personal crusade and launched a fund-raising drive to
replenish state coffers. If Thais did not donate, he threatened to commit
suicide, or "leave his earthly body".
On the last day of his campaign, an estimated 100,000 people lined up for
five miles at his forest temple to give gold, jewellery and cash to save the
monk's life and in 2001 Bua proudly presented some 12 tonnes and 79.8kg of
gold, plus 10.2 million US dollars to the Bank of Thailand.
探讨的重点在于请问网友关于上座部捉持金钱的学处。
文章代码(AID): #1PNrmg42 (Buddha)
“若比库捉取金(黄金)、银(流通货币)，或令捉取，或同意放在近处者，
尼萨耆亚巴吉帝亚。”。

上座部比丘与黄金的某些照片，可参考一下。
可是，如果任何上座部比丘令人（例如净人）收受金钱、黄金，
“目的”是为了减缓该国国家财政上遭遇的经济衰退（甚至跟救人性命也无大关系）。
这样的世俗目的（跟修戒定慧、跟修止修观、跟出家似乎一点关系都没有；
这样跟世俗的基督教慈善团体的区别何在），
是否在上述上座部的捉持金银学处方面就能开缘？
佛陀有为了母国迦毗罗卫国的经济民生，于是号召有钱人捐钱给佛陀，
来转交给主管大臣盖医院、盖学校、修桥舖路吗（当时没有央行，就不以此为例了）？
请问一下。
