The Buddhist philosophy is all about Human Rights. He perched this philosophy as there was a lot of human rights abuse in India during his time.

Dont seek freedom from USA,

seek freedom from all the sufferings of the world as Lord Buddha instructed and then teach the laymens to follow that parth

For fact no one knows what is exactly happening or going to happen without any proof. Need to be patient before jump the gun!

Why the Religious people are protesting? Do not mix the religion with politics otherwise history will have the habit of repeating it self.

Buddha taught peace and consecrated life from this world. Buddhism speaks about the uncertainty of this life and world.
Why are these so called buddhist monks ( followers of Buddha) getting involved in the politics of the country. They are supposed to live a life like the Lord Buddha did. He gave up his kingdom , palace, country , family, etc,,
All I can say is, these people wear yellow robes for their own benefits. not the true followers of Buddha

You know my dear TRUTH, The Truth is One Major principle of Buddhism is Protection of Life .... HUMAN LIFE. I think Tamils of Sri Lanka are also part of Humanity. Seek the Truth and not just emotional stuff. Sad to see 2500 venerable monks don't see the truth.

Sorry Wednesday, 14 March 2012 01:33 PM

Dear Venerable monks why can't you open your eyes. You are so much careful not kill even an ant. But how come you allow killing Tamils??????????? How do you justify it! Somebody Enlighten me
