Save the ancient Buddhist place - Mes Aynak

  THAI   ENGLISH   CHINESE   JAPANESE

Summon Buddhists’ power to save the ancient Buddhist place “Mes Aynak”

 

The latest news is Mes Aynak, the ancient Buddhist place in Afghanistan, is in the crisis because it will become a copper mine in the coming December.  This means that the 2,600-year-old valuable legacies will be destroyed because of the commercial benefits which will hurt all Buddhists’ heart.

 

     So, Nadia Tarzi has asked all of the Most Ven. Phrathepyanmahamuni’s disciples around the world to sign your names to object it by:

 

1. http://chn.ge/TstjEm

2. http://chn.ge/Pux8Nr

1.    Collect at least 50,000 signatures to propose to UNESCO to protect “Mes Aynak”, the ancient Buddhist place.  Now we get only 500 signatures and need 49,500.  You can study how to join and sign your name at http://chn.ge/TstjEm

 

 

 

2.    Collect at least 50,000 signatures to propose to the President of Afghanistan to delay the copper mining plan.  Now we get only 18,000 signatures and need 32,000.  You can join us by signing your names at two links in the bottom of this article or clicking at the pictures.  We have only about one month, within November 30th, 2012, to do it.  Please join us at http://chn.ge/Pux8Nr

 

If we are able to do it successfully, we will get a big merit from protecting Buddhism in the ex-Buddhist country – Afghanistan – and preventing the tragedy like the destroying giant Buddha Images in Bamiyan.
