Hello,

Any information on that would be appreciated. I'm not a reporter or
anything; I am a Theravadan Buddhist, aware of the symbolism of the
shrine to many in Myanmar, and just wonder if it weathered the storm.

Today I would like to make a personal appeal to all Chinese spiritual
brothers and sisters, both inside as well as outside the People?s Republic
of China, and especially to the followers of the Buddha. I do this as a
Buddhist monk and a student of our most revered teacher, the Buddha. I
have already made an appeal to the general Chinese community. Here I am
appealing to you, my spiritual brothers and sisters, on an urgent
humanitarian matter.

The Chinese and the Tibetan people share common spiritual heritage in
Mahayana Buddhism. We worship the Buddha of Compassion ? Guan Yin in the
Chinese tradition and Chenrezig in Tibetan tradition ? and cherish
compassion for all suffering beings as one of the highest spiritual ideals.
Furthermore, since Buddhism flourished in China before it came to Tibet
from India, I have always viewed the Chinese Buddhists with the reverence
due to senior spiritual brothers and sisters.
