I am making a statement of support and sympathy for the
heroic efforts of the Buddhist Monks, Nuns, Students, and all the
Burmese Laypeople who are peacefully protesting against the injustice
and oppression of the present government of Myanmar.
It is very confusing and distressing to witness a government which
claims to respect the Buddhist religion react to a peaceful protest in
such a violent and brutal way. I have always held the Sangha in Burma
with great respect. I ask the present government to listen to the Sangha
and to seek a way of reconciliation in accord with the Dhamma which will
be for the welfare and happiness of all.
I send all my blessings to the peaceful protesters and my compassion to
the Government of Myanmar which has strayed so far from the wisdom and
compassion of the Lord Buddha.
yours in Dhamma
