re: "Myanmar monk militia: Buddhist clergy backing junta" (BP, December 8, 2022)
Dear editor,
Overlooking the fact that Buddhist monks high in the state hierarchy preaching killing and lying as a means to a decidedly not right understanding in the service of a military dictator waging war against his own nation's people seems to seriously pervert the Buddha's wise insights and teachings, I was impressed by senior Buddhist monk Sitagu's insightful explanation that coup committer and nationalist killer, army chief Min Aung Hlaing, is in truth the model of a "benevolent king." This has greatly helped to clarify what the term "benevolent king" truly means, for which enlightenment the revered senior monk is to be most gratefully thanked.
