Of all the moral precepts instilled in Buddhist monks the promise not to kill comes first, and the principle of non-violence is arguably more central to Buddhism than any other major religion. So why have monks been using hate speech against Rohingya minority and joining mobs that have left thousands dead?
Burmese situation is critical & crucial. Led by a monk, Ashin Wirathu, who was jailed in 2003 for inciting religious hatred. Released in 2012, he has referred to himself bizarrely as "the Burmese Bin Laden".
Buddhist mobs attacked mosques, burned hundreds of homes, killing thousands of children, men & women. This became a genocide. it is coming from the Buddhist Monks. International community must intervene to stop killing & saving Rohingya minority immediately. sprnts.wordpress.com.
