<< Chris Sidoti , SPDC and Five Precepts
When a group of Burmese and Australian students had a 1 and half hour
meeting at Human Rights Commissioner office in Sydney on 5th of August 99,
MR Chris Sidoti told the students a funny story about SPDC and five
Precepts.
SHhhhhhh--- it is meant to be a Australian HR Commissioner gossip about the
weird SPDC .
He said a high ranking Foreign affair officer ( I thought it was Win Aung
himself) said to him with very serious accent (Chris was smiling!) ' You
know we the government leaders are Buddhists so we obey the teaching of the
lord Buddha and we obey the five precepts , we don't kill , we don't steal
.
But Mr Sidoti broke into a big laugh when a student interrupt him by saying
' But they lie '
With big smile and nods CHRIS SIDOTI AGREED THAT SPDC LIES !!!
I hope you enjoy my joke from a true story. SPDC should know that even Chris
Sidoti knows well about them.
( I certify this story is true and correct before the international
participants of this Burmanet )

I remember the words of ThabeikEine Sayadaw regarding Buddhism when we were
in India. Sayadaw said, "Buddhism is the religion not to pray, not to worship
but just to practice".
Now I feel as some activists are saying like, "Buddhism is the religion not
to practice, but just to find faults with others."
If I am mistaken and if you don't mean that way pls forgive me.
