> Dear Sangha,
> Again, my apologies for this mass email. I write to invite you all to 
> join me at a Rally for a Free Burma, this Saturday October 6th  at 12 
> Noon, 401 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago.
>  
> Many of you may have heard the disturbing reports that have leaked out 
> of Burma: the ruling military government has silenced the protests by 
> murdering hundreds and detaining thousands of monks, students and 
> ordinary people. Most frighteningly, it is not clear where they are 
> being detained.  
>  
> Due to the military’s blocking of the internet, the press and even 
> cellphones, the world is no longer receiving images or sound clips 
> from Burma. Consequently, the story has already been dropped by the 
> mainstream press. This day of action has been declared to continue to 
> put international pressure on the military regime, and on China, which 
> is one of the regime’s primary supporters. I sincerely hope you’ll be 
> able to join us.
>  
> I would like to thank all of you who participated in the candlelight 
> prayer vigil last Sunday. I hope to see you all again this Saturday.
> Best,
> Maureen
