UKM,

I thought you are running away again like the last time. When things become deeper, when they become serious.

Thank you for your understanding. I think you and I can talk to each other .I don't want you to think I am against Buddhissm or against Buddhists. I have told you that I am Buddhist but not blind. Buddha was a practical man.
I am not a theory man but apractical one like Him. Because he told everyone to experience themselves,

I have seen many people of other religion, you have seen them as well. In the name of religion they are kiiling They are called extreamists, and later they are called terrorists by the opposite.

I don't want Buddhists to be like them. By I am seing what the Buddhist are becoming of.

I do not know about the situation over 2500 years ago in the world. We did not even know what the situation was at that time all over INdia, let alone the world. But I know the situation of the world and Myanmar at this moment.

If we are Buddhist it is important to become the 21st centuary Buddhist. Because we are living in the 21st century.

We should take Buddhism as our guidence but we should never allow it to over rule us. I gave you Tibet. I talked to you about many Buddhist countries being poor, they are among the third world countries. That is the proof.

If anybody want to translate for being poor is a kind of Nirbana, because you don't have to be worry for being robbed, you don't have to be afraid of somebody going to steal from you. OK you should be happy and glad for not having any thing. If poverty is to be happy about, then be happy .

BUT don't groan and don't moan for being poor, having nothing, and don't blame others for being rich.

It has to be balance. That is Buddhism which is Mizzima Patipadar or the middle way.

I have no doubt that you understand that.

When I talked to you about, Four Noble Truths, Eight Fold Path, and 38 Mingalas. If we all observed only these three, we could go no wrong. MYanmars won't suffer that much.

We are what we are and who we are, depend on our own merits which in your own words " karma ". That is the essense of Buddha's teachings, I believe.

Dana, Thila, Bawana the three things. Lawba , Dawtha, and Mawha are others
We think we know these things, but it is difficult, very difficult for uns to put into practice isn't it? That is the problem . Sme people are taking advantage on those, who are trying to observe these six. We must not allow them.

We know more about Dana then. Myanamrs give away everything, because they hope to get to Nivana. How much Thila and Bawana doi they have to get to Nirvana. THis unlimited Dana of kind and gentle people of Myanmar is making people poor and others rich.

This Dana is making the Myanmars poor and making others (Monks) rich. I have said it many time. Monestries are build with timber and bricks, electricity and may other 21st century modern living while poor people stioll lib=ving in the bamboo huts, now even these huts are blown away, they have nowhere to stay.

Foreign aid coming , would you like to interpret it as they are coming in because of the Danas, the people past/previous merits? SO the people have to make more Dana? The people recieved the aid and next day they take them to the market and sell them for money.

Did you see how the aid were distributed? Throwing them from the van, as if they are feeding the pigs and dogs and other animals. Are you happy to see those scenes UKM? Do you want to blame this on SPDC?

People are suffering because of this disaster, the country is facing the devastation, and some people with threatening behaviour still playing political games.

If you are in Sr. Gen Than Shwe's position, I am sure, your priority will be to secure the country, national security. Those dead are dead, damaged are damaged, there is nothing you can do about that. Especially,unfriendly US, Brits, France warships and aircraft carrier at your door step. You have to be 1000% sure, there are no enemies aropund , behind your back who will stab you.

True and I will agree with you, actions are louder than words.

If Myanmar was not ready and prepared to help the people in disaster, that is because opposition do not let Myanmar earn any money, oppsition blocked everything.

Who actually are paying the price UKM?

The liers accused others are telling lies. They think others are liers.

We just have to be good, God will look after the good people. You don't need to pray for anything. Because praying won't help, that is for sure.

If prayers would help, Jesus Christ would not have to die on the crucifix. He had to die after he taught us that famous prayer" Our father - - - ". If we are Buddhists, we must be good Buddhists, not fakes or boguses. We must believe in our merits.

Nice talking to you UKM.

Regards,
