As we've been hearing in the news, the Cyclone in Burma as devestated hundreds of thousands, while the Burmese Government has stood on its heels in accepting foreign aid. Many people think that its because they dont want to accept aid from other countries, because it would make the Government look bad.
However, I heard yesterday, the real reason is because the majority of people in Myanmar are Buddhists. Buddhists believe that suffering is a result of karma, and any suffering is because people deserve it. That's why you wont find any Buddhist Aid agencies. Most are Christian. Something to ponder.
If you'd like to pray and help see here for one way you can do that.
