We are deeply concerned by the Myanmar government and military’s ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya people. We call on Buddhist friends around the world to make our concerns known to all parties in the Union of Myanmar. We have written an appeal to the Myanmar State Sangha Committee to condemn the violence — read the letter and sign the letter.
We further call on the global Buddhist community to give generously to humanitarian organizations providing aid to Rohingya communities. Our dana can say to Rohingya peoples and to the world that the rain of Buddha’s compassion falls on all beings equally.
Donations can be made to the Clear View Project, the organization that oversees the Buddhist Humanitarian Project. We will ensure that these donations are redistributed to credible organizations supporting the peace process and providing direct aid to the Rohingya people.
