Bhikku Wirathu’s Birthday gift to Gnanasara Thera!

 Tuesday, 04 March 2014

Bhikku Wirathu, branded by the western media as the ‘Buddhist Bin Laden’ or the symbol of Buddhist terrorism for his leading violence against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, gave a gift to secretary general of Bodu Bala Sena, Ven. Galagodaatte Gnanasara Thera, on account of the latter’s 39th birthday today (04).

The gift was given during a study visit by a BBS delegation in Myanmar. Chief executive of the organization Dilanthe Withanage said the aim of the tour is to seek consensus among Buddhist countries on the role, other than religious, that should be played by the Buddhist monk in society.
