We salute Pakokku monks, again. Monks of Pakokku are true hero of our life time in burma.


200 monks protest in Pakokku

Oct 31, 2007 (DVB)–Around 200 monks from several monasteries in Pakokku staged a walking protest at 8.30 this morning, according to a monk who participated in the march.

The monk said that the protest was a continuation of last month’s demonstrations as he said the monks’ demands have still not been met. "Our demands are for lower commodity prices, national reconciliation and the immediate release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners," the monk explained.

The monks came from monasteries around Pakokku, including the West and Central monasteries, and chanted metta as they marched three in a row, with monks in the first row holding Sasana flags. They started walking along Bogyoke road towards Thida road, then turned into Pauk road before ending the march at Shwe Ku pagoda.

The monk said the group was not afraid of the response of the authorities. "We are not afraid of getting arrested or being tortured. We are doing this for Sasana," he said. The protest began about one hour after a pro-government rally in the same town ended, and authorities did not intervene to stop the monks’ march.

The monks reportedly notified the authorities in advance, telling them that if a pro-government demonstration was taking place then the monks should also be allowed to hold their protest. The monk said there would be more and larger demonstrations in the future. "We did not have much time to organise the protest as we did not actually plan for it, so there weren't a lot of monks. But there will be bigger and more organized protests soon," he said.

The monk said that civilian bystanders supported the protest but were afraid to express this openly. "We would like to urge people not to be afraid since we are doing this for good future of our country," he said.

Demonstrations, prayers and anti-junta protests around the world is one thing. Walking again amidst all the arrests, torture and humiliation inside Burma is extra-ordinary courage. These are the true heroes of democracy. We salute them indeed.

Very very brave!
People should do what they can to protect those monks from being tortured.
Peace and love conquer.

The Pakokku monks are encouraging indeed.

Instead of individually going like that, I think they all has to organise well and make up groups in their own monestries. Chant inside to make sure everyone in the neighbor can hear it. Then take turn to chant 24 hours a dya. If the whole country goes like that, what can the Juntas do? It is legally chanting in the monestries.
Please do not get out on the streets again. They are not human being to crash down on unarmed peaceful protesters and we are not ready to fight back as the way they treated us.
Please remember the person who said "Peace could last forever" was shot dead infront of everyone who loves them.Salute Ghandi who gave his life for freedom and now we salute the people who gave their lives in 1988(Still seeing the killings) and 2007 generations and want to say to the people who lost their love ones, "We are proud of you".

With Great Respect and deepest Admiration for the "Brave Monks of Pakkoku" and all the monks & protesters who gave-up their lives and freedom for OUR COUNTRY.

They are a thousand times BRAVER than the SOLDIERS who are armed with automatic weapons.

Junta Leaders who are hiding in Isolated Jungle City used to shout "We Are the Bravest sons of Myanmar". What a Pathetic Joke!!!!

This is a clear message to Than Shwe's junta that it is impossible and unacceptable to go back to the status quo.

The junta should seize this oppourtunity to show goodwill and embark on the path to real National Reconciliation (not the junta's own 7 step Road Map).

Those are some brave, determined men. More power to them!

Smoke Wijaya said...

I salute with great respect these courageous people to march on the streets again, amidst of all the terror...as said "true heroes of democracy"!
My heart goes out to all the Burmese people fighting for peace and democracy.

In Solidarity!

Yup, people are giving comments on how they respect buddhist monks. But, are we only going to say, "we salute you, we respect you"? we should do something instead of praising and flattering them. That will not work. Look into Burma and think what you can do for your country. International community will never help us as you have seen before. even if there is another breakdown, they will not come into Burma. Let's hope that another breakdown will not take place. We must now know that peace only exists in the heaven, not in the reality. if we are going to do peaceful demonstrations, we are the stupidest people in the world. I can't see juntas killing Buddhist monks and the dissidents.

I salut the venerable monks from pakoou and all the other sanghas they follow the protest from around the world.
