half a century. Our fellow citizens in Burma live in utter misery and poverty.
This we have witnessed with our own eyes. We  call on everyone, people of all
religious faiths and spiritual beliefs,  to join with us on 14th March 1999 in
peace, meditation and prayer to  relieve the suffering of the people of
Burma. 

May we all join together to pray
1. for  the well-being of Burma=92s leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and monks,
students, and citizens who are fighting for democracy.
2. For the release of all political prisoners and an end to their severe
maltreatment by the military
3. for the safety and security of  the homeless displaced persons and refugees
of Burma 
4.  for Burmese people to have courage to shake the shackle of oppression
