The words used that day are very sad and disappointing. It is an act that could hurt Buddhism very badly, Thawbita told Reuters. The network was formed by monks who helped lead the 2007 Saffron Revolution, a nationwide democracy uprising brutally crushed by the military. It is influential among educated Buddhists, but has little power. A senior official at the Ministry of Religious Affairs told Reuters there were no plans to act against Wirathu. Of course, he has the right to express his opinion but he shouldnt have used these terms, said the official, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue. It can tarnish the image of our religion among those who dont really understand its essence.
