Look Down, Fair Moon

LOOK down, fair moon, and bathe this scene;

Pour softly down night's nimbus floods, on faces ghastly, swollen, purple;

On the dead, on their backs, with their arms toss'd wide, Pour down your unstinted nimbus, sacred moon.

Walt Whitman

A reflection of "inhuman" totalitarian control of Burma

Democracy without the values of liberalism is worse than any dictatorial government. Free choice can exist under a dictatorship that can limit itself whereas the tyranny of Burmese democracy will practice in such a way that no kind of freedom can get at its limitlessness. This form of the government in its voidness to understand the limitations of mankind will viciously revolt against “the spontaneous order” of Heaven and ultimately destroy the nation in Darwinism and Narzism. (Burmakin’ 2011)

The devil’s prevailing power has begun: The ghost most fearfully chained by founding fathers of America now has escaped and fled to Burma. It will deploy its far superior power of destruction on our moral foundations of Buddhism and our liberty than military monarchy has devastated. The unleashed devil without conscience but is more legitimate, ravenous, arrogant and agreeable to our despot-ridden people is “the tyranny of the majority”. (Burmakin ’Mar 09, 2010)

After institutionalizing this evil constitution, if you want a picture of Burma's future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face – forever.

-Burmakin '08

As long as we Burmese are thinking in a way to believe
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH,
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY and
MILITARISM AS PEACE,
we can't say that we have ever been on the way to Democracy.

-Burmakin ‘07

The worst dogma of Burmese from misunderstanding of the Karma and Saddha is “moral relativism”. The heaviest obstacle and burden to both mental and physical development of Burmese as well as the world of all other Buddhists is “inductive reasoning” from the Nirvana. (Burmakin ’09)

False philanthropy

Burma has to deal most painstaking with two problems: the physical scenario is resource curse for which we need Keynesian economics; the spiritual scenario is pestilence of moral relativism for which we need public enlightenment from liberalism. One essential step is to replace the professionally “learned”, competent and humane who “understand” to manage complex public affairs for the hypocritical impotent who dominate our present society with their frugal judgmental ability. (Burmakin 2012)

For our unborn brilliant children

All men are created free and equal

"I have never said anything to the contrary, but I hold that notwithstanding all this, there is no reason in the world why the negro is not entitled to all the natural rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I hold that he is as much entitled to these as the white man. I agree with Judge Douglas he is not my equal in many respects---certainly not in color, perhaps not in moral or intellectual endowment. But in the right to eat the bread, without leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns, he is my equal and the equal of Judge Douglas, and the equal of every living man. " (By Lincoln in his debate with Stephen Douglas)

An inconvenient truth

Concerning metaphysics.., I admit that my formulations may here or there have been insufficiently conditional and cautious. Yet I do not wish to hide the fact that I can only look with repugnance.. upon the puffed-up pretentiousness of all these volumes filled with wisdom, such as are fashionable nowadays. For I am fully satisfied that.. the accepted methods must endlessly increase these follies and blunders, and that even the complete annihilation of all these fanciful achievements could not possibly be as harmful as this fictitious science with its accursed fertility. (Kant's argument against conventional wisdom)

Sprouting from a deep psychological root, the Bodhisattva ideal

‘Hero worship is a sure road to degradation and to eventual dictatorship, there is no room for hero-worship in a true political struggle made up of human beings grappling with human problems’

-Aung San Su Kyi, a Burmese Buddhist woman

*Aung San wanted to discourage popular perception encouraged by writers such as Thahkin Kodawhmaing, which vested in him the role of the concentration meditation wizard, the mental cultivator cum universal ruler.

'We must take proper care that we do not make a fetish of this cult of hero-worship'. -Aung San in his first AFPFL speech

'At this time I am a person who is very popular with the public. But I am neither a god, wizard nor a magician. Only a man. Not a heavenly being. I can only have the powers of a man'

-Aung San, Sep 1, 1946 *
