Burma

As a Buddhist I seek refuge in the three jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the sangha (monks and nuns). I cry when I read reports of the repressive regime in Burma (sic) attacking and killing sangha.

Yes, the military leaders of Burma are fascists. Yes, they must be removed. Yes, the sangha are the moral force in this police state. That is why the citizens formed human chains around the protesting monks and nuns. The Burmese military's actions are all too reminescent of the Chinese government's repression of Tibetans.

Love and compassion. Buddhism is the religon of love and compassion. Let us all pray that the forces of good once again triumph over evil.

As long as there is space, I seek refuge in the three jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the sangha towards the enlightenment of all sentient beings through love and compassion Om mani padme hum.
