Monks' Revolution in Rangoon

Monks' Revolution in Rangoon, Burma (www.dvb.no)

Buddhist monks all over Burma are today making peaceful walks and launching boycotts on the military regime, in protest of Junta's recent cruel crack down on Monks peaceful demands for government efforts to relieve of poverty in Burma.

Monks' boycott means that they will not accept any donations from any military officials and will not do any religious rites for them; in essence all military officials will be shunned from all aspects of Buddhist religion. As 85% or more of Burmese population is Buddhist such a Buddhist religious boycott will very seriously damage regime's credibility.

i am a burmese boy. and i will tell u this, the burmese army recruits their soldiers from native villages that never even heard of religion. They get young boys and turn them into crazy zombies, that are even capable of killing there own families. They are the near the worst country in asia. It used to be a country where sholars lived and rich people did to. It was an Asian tiger. It was a country where evryone is free. Now its covered by a dark veil where nobody can escape.
