Burma Out!! Shwedagon. Vampirical B



Subject: Re: Burma Out!! Shwedagon. Vampirical BBC bytes?

"All that glitters is not gold."  only those who sell "gold-leafs" at 
Shwedagon premise can be so sure of whether that 120-ton of which we see as 
gold is actually gold or just dust.  sometimes, our visual perception does 
not necessarily represent reality.  Most of the time, blind faith along with 
that usually blurs distinction between reality and perception.  what is the 
benefit of arguing over that subject? will adding some more 99.9% gold with 
full devotion to that pagoda bring about peace,prosperity and happiness to 
the people who cherish our traditional things? I think we are more than the 
kids who believe that Santa Claus would bring them presents on every 
Christmas. that motionless sysmbol of faith, called Shwedagon, is nothing 
but a passive witness and listener to our historical wounds, sufferings, and 
endless wishes for material and spiritual needs. let's get real.
