Saffron Revolution  

The emergence of “The Spiritual and Glorious Revolution” last September 2007 has changed Burma’s history forever and placed Buddhist monks and nuns quite literally in the front ranks of peaceful resistance to Burma’s brutal and illegitimate dictatorship. Our spiritual message is to bring about a clear, more compassionate way and more harmonious relationship within all aspects of life in the country.

Cyclone Nargis  

On Friday May 2, 2008 a colossal cyclone devastated major parts of Burma, including damaging the country’s largest city Rangoon the Irrawaddy Delta region, Bago (Pegu) Division, Karen State and Mon State. The death toll is reported to have reached over 200,000, and further millions of people are at risk of epidemics and starvation, parts of the country are still underwater, hundreds of thousands of people are camped in the open without food or clean water. Victims are in desperate need of rescue from this unfolding tragedy—without proper and unrestricted aid, many more lives will be lost. Details
