BANGKOK — A pop music event organizer apologized for lampooning the controversial Buddhist sect Dhammakaya at a party Saturday night following threats of legal action by the group.
Even as its headquarters were under siege by law enforcement officers, and its leader wanted on embezzlement charges, the Dhammakaya sect said it was preparing a defamation suit against party organizer Trasher for blasphemy.

Dhammakaya spokesman Ong-art Dhammanitta said at a Sunday news conference that Trasher mocked the sect by showing photoshopped images of its UFO-like headquarters on the screen at its “Bitch You Better work it work work work It out” event at CentralWorld shopping mall.
Some party revellers also cosplayed as Dhammakaya monks and danced in front of the screen.
