Dalai Lama Decries Buddhist Attacks On Muslims In Myanmar

By Ian Simpson

COLLEGE PARK, Md., May 7 (Reuters) – Exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama on Tuesday decried Buddhist monks’ attacks on Muslims in Myanmar, saying killing in the name of religion was “unthinkable.”

The Dalai Lama, a foremost Buddhist leader, told an audience at the University of Maryland at the start of a U.S. tour that the root of seemingly sectarian conflict was political, not spiritual.

“Really, killing people in the name of religion is unthinkable, very sad. Nowadays even Buddhists are involved in Burma,” another name for Myanmar, with monks attacking Muslim mosques, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate said after delivering the Anwar Sadat Lecture for Peace at the university.

“I think it is very sad,” he said, adding, “I pray for them (the monks) to think of the face of Buddha,” who had been a protector of Muslims.

A wave of sectarian violence erupted in March in the central Myanmar town of Meikhtila, causing 44 deaths and displacing an estimated 13,000 people, mostly Muslims.

A Reuters investigation found that radical Buddhist monks had been actively involved in the violence and in spreading anti-Muslim material around the country.

Sectarian clashes between Buddhists and Muslims, who make up about 5 percent of Myanmar’s population, have erupted on several occasions since a quasi-civilian government took power in March 2011 after five decades of military dictatorship.

The 77-year-old Dalai Lama, whose name is Tenzin Gyatso, also urged his largely student audience of 15,000 to create a new world in the 21st century, saying that he was a man of the last century.

“That group of individuals of the 20th century are ready to say bye-bye,” Tibet’s most revered spiritual leader said.

“You have the responsibility to create a new world based on the concept of one humanity.”

China brands the Dalai Lama, who fled into exile to India in 1959 after an abortive uprising against Chinese rule of Tibet, as a separatist. The Dalai Lama says he is merely seeking more autonomy for his Himalayan homeland.

The address in College Park, Maryland, was the start of a U.S. visit that includes stops in Oregon, Wisconsin, Kentucky and New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Dai Lama should be commended because even christains who had no stake in the fight had already started rationalizing the actions of the extremist

Paschal007: didn't you read the where they reported that the fighting began after muslims started raping Buddhist women? What has been the reaction of muslims so far? What have they done especially the oil rich ones to help those displaced muslims? Waiting for the infidel west? I think i'll start up a thread for that. undecided

https://www.nairaland.com/1241178/muslims-vanish-buddhist-attacks-approach#15040449

so it is a positive development and gets my endorsement.

sino: Can buhdist actually do this? This is not self-defence na? The report didnt indicate that they were provoked in any way, I thought they were said to be peaceful and buhda didnt preach violence?

Muslims are always at the center of any religious fracas or imbroglio.

If u guys aint fighting pagans, u are killing Christians or praying for the complete extirpation of the Jews. Sunnis and Shias have always been at Loggerheads since I was born , now u have Buddhists on ur kill list now.

Abeg, Muslims should shift and let pple breathe well. U guys are almost like a cancer that should be violently stifled cuz it seems u guys become more brutal with each passing generation.

CRAP! CRAP!! CRAP!!!. When BH were busy decimating churches and christian in the northern part of nigeria their counterparts in the south were happy to see their prayer come true. E.g from 33 catholic churches to 3 catholic church what did you and ur minions do? Only for you people to be celebrating and jubilating by poping champagne all over nairaland banning whoever try to call you to order.

I read the above comments and I felt sorry for some of you.Its a shame that the value for life is now dependent on one's belief.For crying out loud, unjust termination of human soul is wrong anywhere in the world. Why do you have to be happy that muslims are being killed?And why do I have to be happy with the cataclysmic act of boko haram?Its wrong!
Its about time some of u peeps came out of ur prejudiced mind,and stop thinking myopically.
For over a decade now, I have been hearing u guys talk about 72 virgins. How many of you have tried to verify this claim in d quran? You have no excuse,there are translated versions;english,hausa,igbo,et al. You can even read or download free online.Its sad that despite the unfettered access we have to info in this jet age, many people are still buried in ignorance and there distorted line of thought.
Please the next time u wanna talk about '72 virgins', bolster it with empirical evidence and not an anecdote from 1 criminal element whose aim is to cast aspersion against Islam.
And for record purpose, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world,despite all d numerous propagandas. The reality is that no one can cover the brightness of the moon.
Islam=peace+total submission to the will of Allah..

I hate it when Muslims try to deceive gullible readers by cheap propaganda
If Maclatunji allows me,I will answer to those falsehood from time to time
Why don't you tell us how Islam is the fastest growing religion?
Islam is the religion losing adherents the fastest by conversion to Christianity and other faiths
They are also the fastest growing not by conversion but because your women become ripe for marriage and start procreating at 9
From Yemen to Bahrain to Rural Egypt to Pakistan to Nigeria
Their mates in the rest of world get educated and think of a family in their twenties
Please tell us
Is that something to boast about?
Go to a typical Muslim City like Kano,one million plus of those fastest growing statistics roam the streets with plates in hand smoking weed

Nigerian stats tell us the average southern Christian girl is in SS1 at the age of 15 while 75% of their Muslim counterparts in northern nigeria are on an old man's bed making babies and swelling the population

I simply conclude the sons and daughters of Hell made such posts! After all NL serve as a good platform for promoting violence against muslims etc.
Most of the comments so far shows those whose religion is violent are those whose god place a blood debt in the form of murdering his own self or his "son" as price of forgiving such people their sins, and apparently jesus alleged spilling of blood on the cross is not enough, these sons and daughters of hell, now want to add the blood of muslims to it, that will not happen!
Re: Dalai Lama Condemns Attacks On Muslims by Buddhist Monks by Nobody: 4:28pm On May 16, 2013
@babyosisi I can see that your hatred for islam has blinded you to the truth. Wikipedia appears to be mor objective than you:


According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Islam is the world’s fastest-growing religion by number of conversions each year: "Although the religion began in Arabia, by 2002 80% of all believers in Islam lived outside the Arab world. In the period 1990-2000, approximately 12.5 million more people converted to Islam than to Christianity".[27] Part of the book's quote can be seen online from this extract from Google Books.[27] This was again shown in the 2005, 50th anniversary edition of Guinness Book of World Records, although the number of conversions was not mentioned this time.[28]

In 1990, 935 million people were Muslims. According to the BBC, a comprehensive American study concluded in 2009 the number stood at approximately 23% of the world population with 60% of Muslims living in Asia.[29][30] The report was done by the Pew Forum Research Centre.[30] The forum also projected that in 2010 out of the total number of Muslims in the world 62.1% will live in Asia.[29]

deal with that

Tell me something, there are about 80000 dead muslims in Syria, thousands die yearly from bomb attacks in Yemen, pakistan, iraq and afghanistan and many die from avoidable causes due to ur fanatical refusal of vaccines. The population of muslims is just a few thousands more than Catholics worldwide. Religion is not a game of numbers, we aint competing. Moreover, u mohammedans consider urselves as slaves to allah, I don't. God called me his "son" and his "friend" and says we should reason together. There is something inherently wrong in Islam, u lots are just living in self-denial. Practice what u preach. Don't chant "peace" like a broken record and order for our heads on a plate tomorrow.
