> The news from Burma is not good, with reports of the Myanmar military 
> troops occupying monasteries, arresting monks, and cutting off all 
> communications to the outside, including Internet. The number of 
> people killed varies from source to source, with the official Myanmar 
> government report at 10, but it's probably many more.
>
> It continues to be critical for both the Myanmar and Chinese 
> government to know that the whole world is watching this situation. 
> Many vigils are being organized, including some generating from the 
> BPF community.
>
> As the situation in Burma grows more urgent, your support and 
> involvement can make a big difference to the people of Burma 
> (Myanmar).
>
> What you can do:
>
> 1) Join or organize a vigil in your town or city. We have posted a 
> calendar of vigils on the BPF website. There are currently events 
> scheduled in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC, and 
> Milan (Italy). We are updating the list regularly, so please keep 
> checking it. Check with your local BPF chapter to see if they are 
> planning a vigil.
>
> 2) Sign a petition showing your support.
> * Our friends at the Buddhist Channel have initiated a global petition 
> to garner support for the Holy Sangha. Please go to the petition 
> online here and follow the instructions given. This page also includes 
> address information for the Myanmar (Burmese) Embassy in a number of 
> countries.
>
> * Sign the US Campaign for Burma's petition
>
> 3) Light a candle and place it in your window every night this week, 
> along with a sign in support of the nonviolent protest. Click here to 
> visit our website where you can download a sign that reads "The World 
> is Watching -- Free Burma!"
