What I just saw makes my soul ache. Police officers in Burma opened fire on pro democracy demonstrators which included Buddhist monks and nuns. I feel that the Buddhists represent what this world needs now more than ever, and that is the rejection of the rampant materialism that is literally tearing our planet apart. Governments are fighting wars of resources, not even concerened about the world that they are leaving for future generations. These monks and nuns give up everything to try and show the world that peaceful coexistance is possible. That message will outlast far longer than any of the material rewards that the military in Burma get from oppressing the people.
