In the video, the monk could be seen holding up his phone to record the devotee sitting in a big parked car that was blocking the entrance to the temple.
Other devotees could be seen walking past the white car in a single lane because the vehicle was blocking most of the space.
The frustrated monk told the devotee to move the car away. Instead of complying, the man in the car retorted, “Did you forget to take your medicine or did you take the wrong one?”
Angered by the man’s response, the monk went into a tirade and said, “What are you talking about? You’re the one at fault. You’ve blocked the road and a lot of cars are queuing up behind you! You’re so unreasonable!”
The two men traded more angry words before the car finally drove off.
