Posted by Kyaw Myaing on 11/11/2001, 12:17 am Thanks for taking a special interest in this National Reconciliation forum and posting many good ideas for the benefit of all. Our country is a Buddhist country and most of the people have heard of Byamasoe Tayar or "Brahma Vihara". It is called Brahma Vihara because the four types of consciousness namely Metta, Karuna, Mudita and Upekka are the mental states where all the Brahmas keep their mind. That is why they live so long. For our country to get out of this endless cycle of hatred, mistrust, greed for power, suspicion and lack of confidence in each other, we need to practice the Four Brahma Vihara. By practising the spreading of metta vibrations, by feeling happy when others succeed, by feeling compassion for those who are suffering and by practising the mental state of Upekka or Equanimity, we will be able to achieve reconciliation. Please invite your friend to join this forum so that we have more people discussing this topic of reconciliation and national reconciliation. From this forum, I urge all Myanmar citizens to recite the Metta Sutta in every ward, village, township, district and state. The more we send out Metta vibrations, the more we will be able to act as a good catalyst for the success of the "secret talks" taking place between Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the SPDC. There is no time to lose, the time is now. The Myanmar economy is hurting day by day, whether the government admits it or not. The people feel the pain because they have to face the hardships each day. Hatred never ceases by hatred. Hatred ceases only by love. This is the eternal law. Regards and metta, Kyaw Myaing
