Chris struggle against the Military Junta lasted thirty years she spent more than half of them under house arrest survived Assassination Attempts and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her stubborn opposition. The hopes of a great people rest on her shoulders today but the general still havent relinquished their power and the young democracy remains fractured. And. The Five Hundred ThousandBuddhist Monks in the man maher have played
a crucial role in the return to democracy. Although traditionally barred from politics there is still active in all areas of public life. However a new generation of monks is now questioning the old order. Three of them have opened up the doors to their monasteries for us. They all stand out for their willingness to get involved in Public Matters and are fighting their very own at times contradictory battles. But theyre doing it in the name of. Was indeed when one son she came to power it gave people hope again. Before that there was neither hope nor joy these people had stopped believing in a future. Where at a Buddhist Association in the center of mandalay. Is due to give a sermon there and people are already expecting him. Ladies and gentlemen are venerable speaker has arrived lets listen to his words. And. The organizers appreciate his words even more than his commitment to. He is unusually outspoken for a mug. Hes a member that is in our country you know the monks have long had
a lot of influence on the people. Play the most important part and most changes in the country. Indeed when like the peoples teaches. That oh. No. The. Earth. Dont know were talking about. We monks i dont convince that buddhism is developing with democracy. According to the buddha. Theres a set of teaching in the stock questions things and thats allowed to be question that. Is exactly what buddha taught that. It was in a lot of that and i dont wonder and thats why were convinced buddhism can only
benefit from democracy i dont know cynical. People think that once theyve cast their vote everythings Done And Dusted if they think theyve done all they need to do but theyre not exactly humble. They want this and they want that most of them dont even know whats happening in their own country im not so bad so far the government hasnt been able to do much for our economy but it hasnt even told us why that is am i right. What about our dignity is that a sign of intelligence. Preparing the people of myanmar for a new democratic era thats how veto wants to support the woman who led the country to freedom. Our trade very much for her and it worked. I respect and trust her. If i had to id be willing to die for her. The monks have repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to society and their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the burmese people. And at times theyve had to pay a high price. September Two Thousand And Seven while the country was mired in a severe economic crisis the military hunted decided to increase fuel prices people were at their wits end but then the monks took to the streets it was a First In Man Law The Military Hunter was surprised but at first tolerated it then the protests started growing quickly blossoming into the socalled saffron
revolution after the color of the monks robes. The army was overwhelmed and felt threatened the unthinkable happened it opened fire on the monks and locked hundreds of them up the revolution failed but the hunter had shown its true face once again with serious consequences. Or a saw in my view the revolution of Two Thousand And Seven was the final blow. Many blows were needed over the years to fell this big tree. After this last one the tree of the dictatorship came falling down. For you know. In Two Thousand And Eleven man mark took the first tentative steps towards becoming
a Free Market Economy and a Consumer Society but half a century of terror and economic isolation had turned the country that was once the richest in the region into one of the poorest in the world the monks are trying to help people to get ahead. Unload everything take it to the house who taught the to is held into his activism isnt limited to his bellicose sermons to compensate for the lack of health care in Two Thousand And Ten he helped set up a foundation that aims to provide easier access to medical treatment. If it were possible wed prefer to just follow our calling as monks to be honest weve all had enough of all this but its not tradition thats a project can only be successful if the monks get involved. So were forced into
this work and we also view it as our to look after the people because we depend on them to know they feed us and pay for. With. The symbiotic relationship is a fundamental factor in Burmese Society the monks guide the people by providing them with a religious education while the people pay for their maintenance. The ons ritual. That takes place in the streets of man mark every morning is a reminder of this connection between the population and the monks and the monks are freed from material needs and can dedicate their studies wholly to spreading buddhist teachings. For the children of the poorest families entering a Monastic School is often the only way of climbing the Social Ladder they then continue their training at the buddhist universities while some monks are happy to lead a modest life in a monastery others become influential people in Burma Society the socalled venerable ones. Like the monks in Thailand Cambodia and laos the Bernese Monks PracticeTheravada Buddhism which is much more traditional than the zen buddhism known in the west
