According to Lord Buddha's teachings, activities of Buddhist monks must be restricted to learning and teaching Buddhist Scriptures and practising concentration meditation and/or insight meditation (vipassana). If they must safeguard Buddhism and national identity they only need to establish the Nobel eightfold path within themselves first and then teach the lay devotees how to keep to the path. Neither laws nor other means of coercion which are outside their province should be resorted to.

Reply to this commentAccording to Lord Buddha's teachings, activities of Buddhist monks must be restricted mainly to learning and teaching Buddhist Scriptures and practising concentration meditation and/or insight meditation (vipassana). Participating in any activity outside these spheres may be taken as breach of precepts. Safeguarding Buddhism should only be effected by learning and teaching the Dhamma and establishing right faith, right thinking, right speech, right deed, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration, No laws or involvement in mundane activities will have any positive effect.

Reply to this commentYou know what the real question of the country is how are we going to improve our country from poverty to a higher standard of living and equal chance of education, and also peace to the ongoing civil war. How can four nationalist law helps anybody? I am not against you, but sometimes you have to see the bigger goal. By making the Myanmar legislature pass "the four nationalist law", how are your posterity or future generation will benefits from it? It could bring more tensions and more racial discrimination our country. All of Myanmar needs think of the common goodwill of the country, as well in the future and the present.
