Burmese Monks Become Spiritual Warriors

The two-week confrontation between Burma's monks and military is no ordinary uprising, but a deeper struggle between spiritual and worldly forces in a country torn between the two polar opposites.

"Conditions are now critical for the monks," says Ashin Asabhacara, head of the Burma-America Buddhist Association based in Maryland. "The military break into the monasteries at night, torture monks and throw them in jail. Their hunger for power is making them do terrible things and it will end very badly for them."
