My dear UKM,

With due respect, a time like this, in the wake of the disaster and devastation in Myanmar. While many unfortunate human beings are moaning we have to do some thing right to help these unfortunate people or to prepare to stand against this kind of disaster and devastation, to withstand this kind of human catastrophes in future.

Man matters most, UKM, it is the people, all people I must add.

All religions are for guidence only. They are not dictating you to do anything. Budddhism is the way of life, It concerns humna life, how to live in life, from the day your are born to the day you die. Buddha was not a dictator, He was a teacher.

Please let me go straight to the point. What I would like to say is prayers definitely won’t help

Let me start from " Gon Daw Ko Bar". The way I underestand it is ,what this Gon daw Ko Bar said is . the special qualities and powers of Gaudhama Buddha which no other human could attained.

Do you believe there is somebody in this world or on this earth who has this qualities and powers? Have you seen them or one of them? That may be an odd question.

What I like to ask you is just, by praising Buddha, his special qualities and his special powers will make your life better? No I don't think so UKM, No.

Let me be blunt again, by praising Sr. Gen Than Shwe or by praising Ma Su Kyi or denouncing them would not save anybody in Myanmar. Only their common sense will save them. Let me carry on.

What about other suttas. They only said what happened , when did it happened , how it happened who were involves.

For example " Ou Doung Min " sutta, Ingulimala Sutta. What did they say? Confess, admit, tell the truth

That is how understand . But people still asking what is the TRUTH ? That I do not how to answer. I can only say, You know the truth . Be truthful to yourself.

You questioned me if I am a Buddhist or not. I had given you my answer. I will answer you again. I am a Buddhist with good eye sight, and good hearing. I also told you about first summon of Buddha . "Dharma Setkya" they called it. Wheel of Dharma. What did they say? What did they actually say UKM?

My simple understanding to Four Noble Truth is suffering, cause of suffering , cessation of suffering and so on. Let us put them into practice , into reality, logically.

When you look at Myanmars from those angles the suffering of Myanmars to day, you know the cause of their suffering, Yes, there is a way or ways to stop them suffering , but who wants to know , who wants to stop it? Can you make these suffering stop. Only thing they whoever they are. want to do is to further these people to suffer.

What about Eight Fold Path, what about it? What does it tell you? To do eight right things. The right things UKM, not the wrong things. But how will you identify classify what is right and w hat is wrong? It depends on you, your common sense will tell you what is a right thing and what is a wrong thing.

And lastly , 38 Mingalas. The does and the don'ts for us so called human beings. How to live in life. Need I s ay more UKM? You know what they are, don't you

You talked about prayers not reciting. Do you believe in prayers. You do , other wise you won’t be telling us to pray You area Buddhist and you believe in praying , you make me puzzled. Are you sure you are a Buddhist? Are you a Jain religion . Then you are not a true Buddhist, you say you are.
Do you know for how long some people been praying? For many things for many reasons? Never mind about that.

Buddha teachings are not prayers. What Buddha taught was cause and effect.
Merits, good deed. They are all practical things.

Sorry UKM, I don’t remember that Buddha said the prayer will help us free from sufferings.

Now we are talking about the case of Myanmars. The disaster, the devastations.
Myanmar is facing” Do you know what would follow this disaster . COUld not imagine UKM , I could not.

“ Cutt Kyee Thone Bar.” Thut tandra cutt is having war among their own people. Yaw Gandra Cutt, Myanmars are suffering from all kinds of diseases. Dotebait Kandra Cutt. They are starving.

Do you think these Cutts will go away because of simple prayers?

Here Christian Bible is very clear. Because people commits sins of all kinds, that is the cause. And God punishes them.

In Buddhist you could say the people do what they are not supposed to do, they don’t do what they are supposed to do. Whatever they do and they don’t those are the causes and effects come on them.

From whichever angle you look at them UKM , politically , economically or socially. You cannot escape from “ Cause and effect ”

The other day, in one of my messages, I mentioned about people not doing what they should do. I could go to many details UKM it will never end. To recollect some of them. I mentioned the dykes along the rivers are to be rebuild. ( if the rivers are regularly dragged it would be better, these sands can be of great help to build dykes. The villages close to the river banks need to be moved to further away from banks etc. New building to be storm proof etc. etc. And I also said, “ bring me the monies I will build you a heaven on earth ”.

UKM, Myanmar is not under any normal circumstances. A person such as you should know. Too much bloody politicking is making the people suffer, day in and day out even today. Combined with the ignorance of the people.

Some people want Myanmar people to be ignorant, Or some people are trying to teach the Myanmars the Buddhism which is a way of life as a religion . For whose benefits ? In my own words the teachers are rich, the pupils are still poor in Myanmar Its been like that for centuries, if not thousand of years. .

If you want to blame SPDC for this , you have a right to do so.

To conclude this , I would like to say a very simple in Myanmar “ Be Thu Ma Pyu Mi Mi Mhu ”. That is pure Myanmar UKM very simple. You don’t need any translation, you don’t need and interpretation. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to understand that.

Nobody should preach to others what they themselves cannot follow. Buddha taught only after he experienced it Himself and He told everybody to experience it by themselves and accept or reject it. Her we are UKM, the word “experience”. is used . Not to be blinded. Buddhism is not a blind faith.

As Buddhist you must understand the Buddism thoroughly , the real meaning of it. Because this is the way of life, this will help you and your neighbours life if you follow it correctly. That's all I can say.

Nobody, I mean nobody even Buddhist Monks ( Ngo Zar Ye Zars) or lay people should misterpret BUddhism and mislead the ignotrant people . That's the way I see it.

Almost all Buddhist countries are poor countries, because they are weak. They are manipulated by others, undermind by others. It would be a gift , if they are treated as human beings at all.

UKMyaing, please open your eyes and ears. I invite you to come out to the real world we are living in.

Nice talking to you.

Regards,

Thunderbolts.
