The Saffron Revolution of September 2007 has changed Burma’s history forever and placed Buddhist monks and nuns quite literally in the front ranks of peaceful resistance to Burma’s brutal and illegitimate dictatorship. This evening will focus on the way Loving-Kindness and other non-violent means were used to meet the brutality of Burma’s dictatorship. “Our spiritual message is to bring about a clear, more compassionate way and more harmonious relationship within all aspects of life in the country.”

For Buddhist monks and nuns, turning their begging bowls upside down indicates their refusal to accept alms from the ruthless rulers and their servants. This follows a tradition established in the time of the Buddha by which monastic law allows monks to rebuke those who behave against “Dharma” (Buddhist Law).

In Burma’s Buddhist society, monks are highly respected, because they are disciples of Buddha who taught universal loving kindness, wisdom, peace and compassion. But we monks are facing many challenges at this critical moment in history.

Thousands of Buddhist monks and nuns who were praying for peace were brutally attacked on the streets of Rangoon and other cities in September 2007. Burma’s regime committed these atrocities in full view of the world.
