MONKS and POLITICS



In the Asian country of Nyanmar (formerly knownas Burma) something amazing is happening right now. Enormous amounts of people, being led by Buddhist Monks who have come from monasteries into the streets, are protesting an oppressive military government. The government is threatening military violence on the protesters. Yet the monks are saying that threats will not cause them to back down. Read the full story by clicking here,

I think this is sad. I hate the fact the people cannot voice there own opinion without military violence. They want better living conditions for people, they are not trying to start a war.I feel the monks are getting the attention that they deserve right now with this protest. The more they are in the spotlight the more people will start responding to their needs.

This is truly inspiring. It requires great knowledge, understanding, and respect to unify that many people for the purpose of achieving a common goal. The message should be embraced by every nation. Peace and compassion for all man-kind. Find a way to relate rather than segregate.They march for the betterment of society, not for their personal wants.I admire their strength.
