   Those who wear kasaya are called monks, not Buddhas. Don't mistake a monk for a Buddha. Believing in Buddha is different from believing in a monk. Believing in Buddha means believing in the wisdom of Buddha, not in a person's appearance. Those people are normal people just like you, with the same emotions and desires. If you automatically project your own image onto them, you'll always suffer from that.
