The ashes of Satya Narayan Goenka, master instructor of Vipassana meditation, arrived in Yangon on Monday to be scattered in the Yangon River and the Ayeyawady River.

S.N. Goenka was a Myanmar citizen of Indian descent who introduced Vipassana meditation in India and trained more than 800 assistant teachers. Each year, more than 100,000 people attend Goenka-inspired Vipassana courses.

Goenka passed away in India on September 29 at the age of 90. His funeral was held two days later. His ashes, flown to Yangon from Mumbai on Monday, were placed at Dhammazawti Vipassana Meditation Centre. Some of the ashes were scattered in the Yangon River from the Botahtaung jetty yesterday morning, while the rest were reserved for worship at the Park Royal Hotel from 3-5 p.m. yesterday.

Some of the ashes have been flown to Kachin State’s capital Myitkyina today and scattered in the Ayeyawady River. Goenka’s burial urn will be then be carried to Yaytaguntaung Meditation Centre in Mandalay, where the remaining ashes will be scattered in the Ayeyawady River on Thursday according to arrangements by the Thidagu Sayadaw Ashin Nanissara.

During a visit to Myanmar in December last year, Goenka held a Dhamma talk attended by both local and foreign Yogis.

“Doing Vipassana meditation is not conversing from one religion to another,” Goenka said during the talk. “This is why people from different societies have been able to do Vipassana meditation without difficulty. The purpose of Vipassana meditation is to achieve good morals and train oneself to control and purify the mind.”

At Eleven Media we urge the government to try to bring about real change and reform

There is also a political saying that goes: “A politician thinks of the next election; a statesman thinks of the next generation”. Time therefore will decide whether these reforms are for the next election or the next generation. At Eleven Media we urge the government to try to bring about real change and reform in a practical manner for the public wellbeing.

It has been over two and a half years since Thein Sein’s government took office in 2011. Since then, the president and his cabinet members delivered a series of speeches which seemed positive and encouraging. They have repeatedly promised political change. Can such reform process be implemented? Is Myanmar really on the road to progress? Are the people enjoying fruits of these changes? We don’t have a happy answer as of yet to any of these questions. Indeed, Myanmar’s reform process has yet to see progress. As the saying that goes: “There is much water but no fish”.

Some say that the government should not be blamed for not being able to bring a complete change to a nation that has experienced dictatorial rule for over 50 years. Political change in a nation is said to take two main forms: evolution and revolution. Seeing how Myanmar has lagged behind other nations for 50 years, is it not the time to prefer evolution over revolution?

Actually, there is no sign of real progress in the reform process the government is talking about. To what extent have the pubic enjoyed fruits of the executive, legislative and judicial reforms? For example, the government has repeated claims to fight against corruption, but can we see a real progress in anti-corruption efforts? The answer is that Myanmar is still on the list of top five corrupt countries in the world.

There is also a political saying that goes: “A politician thinks of the next election; a statesman thinks of the next generation”. Time therefore will decide whether these reforms are for the next election or the next generation. At Eleven Media we urge the government to try to bring about real change and reform in a practical manner for the public wellbeing.

Turkey: NGO; over 100,000 sex slaves, half are children

thanks to the “peaceful” religion

ANSAmed) – ISTANBU – There are over 100,000 women working as sex slaves in Turkey, of which half are children, a non-governmental organization has revealed in an extensive report on prostitution in the country quoted Saturday by daily Hurriyet. Up to 3,000 prostitutes work in brothels located in 55 of the 81 provinces of Turkey and 15,000 other registered prostitutes work with an official document, according to the report prepared by Sefkat-Der, a civil association founded to help marginalized segments of society. The most shocking aspect of the report, however, is that the number of women selling sex on the streets has climbed to over 100,000, half of whom are children. It stated that many underage girls from impoverished families, especially in eastern and southeastern provinces, had become victims of the “prostitution mafia.” Vulnerable children who have been the victim of abuse inside their own family, orphans, and mentally challenged children are also often prey for organized crime rings. The report added that women up to the age of 60 are working in brothels. Sefkat-Der attracted media attention last spring when it filed a petition to Parliament to ask for permission to open a brothel employing males, in protest at brothels where women are employed. For Sefkat-Der and women’s associations, the fact that there are more brothels in Turkey than women’s shelters has long been a cause of criticism of both the state and local government. (ANSAmed).
