Handcuffed Statue Has The Experts Talking

Author: Arkar Moe   Source: The Irrawaddy (Burma)

Title: HANDCUFFED STATUE HAS THE EXPERTS TALKING

He and an increasing number of others interested in occult practices in Burma are following the story of a statue in Rangoon’s Bo Ta Htaung Pagoda which is handcuffed every night between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

“It is a sign of superstition,” said Khin Maung Kyi. “So we need to watch and observe it.”

A monk at the International Theravada Buddhist
University in Rangoon said Than Shwe and other
members of the junta “are very superstitious and
all their ideas and decisions disillusioned. According
to Buddha’s Dhamma, bad people see only bad
omens and their minds are always insecure and
they do only misdeeds.”

Does that last sentence from the article remind anybody of somebody we have locally?
