Institutional Buddhism in Burma had ignored the inequalities and tyrannies of the political system it found itself under. This death of compassion was not Buddhism Wisdom it felt no pain. The majority of Burmese Buddhists know today they cannot afford to be innocent, or indulge their pursuit of personal liberation in ignorance of the nature of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The monks rose up and protested on behalf of the oppressed people of Burma. The monks come from the people and they return to the people.
