Neeing Solace

Ashin Sarana does not hold back. When I asked him what role the Buddhist monkhood should be playing during these turbulent days, he did not hesitate in providing an answer, and what an answer that was. This words are something for all of us, monastics as well as lay, to keep in mind at this time as our hearts are heavy about the events in Myanmar. U Sarana said:

"What the people really need is this kind of solace, this kind of love, this kind of help. They first they need to know that I'm on their side, that I support their happiness and their health. And second, they need to know that there is somebody who loves them, there is somebody who is thinking about them, and who supports their well being."
