Buddhist monk develops "dhamma doctrine", or morality ringtones

According to News24.com, a Thai Buddhist monk has developed "dhamma doctrine", or morality, ringtones for cellphones that will be available on all domestic cellphone networks next week. [via Engadget]

"The ringtones, developed by popular monk Phra Phayom Kalayano, will consist of Buddhist mantras such as:

-- "Anger is stupidity; fury is madness";

-- "Compose yourself before answering this call";

-- "Don't let mobile phone conversations lead to premature sex and pregnancy."

The dhamma ringtones can be downloaded from the internet, with all profits going to the Wat Suan Kaew Foundation, which provides charity for the poor."
