The National Office of Buddhism (NoB) will submit a letter to American clothing brand Supreme to protest against its use of an image of late monk Luang Phor Koon Parisutho in its 2021 Spring/Summer collection.
It has sprung into action following the release of a preview of Supreme s Blessings Ripstop Shirts, which feature the well-known image of the revered monk of Wat Ban Rai in Nakhon Ratchasima s Dan Khun Thod district.
The image, which appears on the back of the shirts, is of the monk squatting and smoking. The shirts also feature several yant prints.
