Christmas Greeting, 2007
Credits:
- This presentation is a tribute to the Buddhist monks
who protested in Burma in late September and in October of this year.
While this topic seems heavy for a Christmas greeting, the monks' actions to
me were an affirmation that there are strong forces for good at work in the
world. I offer this as tribute to them and encouragement to all of us.
- The opening picture for this flash was found at
BBC News in an article(9/26/07) titled "Burma's
cyber-dissidents." The caption under the picture read "Protests are
visible via pictures posted by bloggers like Ko Htike."
- The sound bite is a mix from the first song (Abhisekha) on David
Parsons' CD, titled "Maitreya - The Future Buddha" (Celestial Harmonies / IODA).
- The words at the end of this presentation were chanted by
the Buddhist monks.
