Chanting METTA for Burma

Between 12th and 17th April at 12 noon local time we will chant or read အရပ္(၁၀)မ်က္ႏွာ ေမတၱာပို႔ or some other version of Metta Sutta. In this way there will be someone chanting or reading Metta Sutta during the whole period of the Burmese New Year Thingyan, because we all live in different countries. Hopefully people living in Burma will also join us. It is very important that we do this, because there must be a CHANGE in Burma before the so called elections this year. Because of the constitution drawn 2008, military power will become permanent after the "elections" in Burma. We don't have much time, we must act NOW. Let us all learn Metta Sutta (no matter in what language) and let us chant it togheter during the Burmese New Year Thingyan. Let the New Year really mark the beginning of something NEW. It is time to END the power of the military government in Burma with the power of METTA (Loving Kindness). You can find the event on the face-book. Just type the "Chanting METTA for Burma" and join the event.
