An unpleasant incident occurred in Russia involving the sale of toilet brushes with an image of Buddha's head.
The head of the Central Spiritual Administration of Buddhists, Geshe Yonten (Sergey Kirishov), is seeking to ban the sale of this product, as it offends the feelings of believers.
He demanded that all toilet brushes with the image of Buddha's head be removed from the store.
In a message on his Telegram channel, Geshe Yonten expressed outrage at the sale of toilet brushes and other bathroom and toilet items with an image of the Buddha's head.
He believes that this is offensive to the religious feelings of Buddhists.
Geshe Yonten announced his intention to write a letter to the store on behalf of the Central Spiritual Administration of Buddhists demanding that they remove this product.
Moreover, he threatened to contact the prosecutor's office if the management of the outlet did not fulfill the conditions.
The head of the Central Department of Healthcare is confident that he will be able to sort out this situation and such goods will not be sold in the Russian Federation.
