"my monks".


as liz would say, "my monks" are struggling. on monday nite, the government met with the senior monk of the monastery i taught at in yangon.

please be praying for the special country, and all those stuck in the middle of this hell.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- Myanmar's military government issued a threat Monday to the barefoot Buddhist monks who led 100,000 people marching through a major city in the strongest protests against the repressive regime for two decades. The warning shows the increasing pressure the junta is under to either crack down on or compromise with a reinvigorated democracy movement. The monks have taken their traditional role as the conscience of society, backing the military into a corner from which it may lash out again.
