Monday's Burma Protest March in San Francisco

These are images from the march in support of the people of Burma that took place in downtown San Francisco yesterday at noon. Jack Kornfield helped lead the march, along with members of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship and the San Francisco Zen Center, to name a few. Many marchers remained relatively silent throughout the march--I even overheard one woman say to her friend as we filed by, "They're so quiet." A few people clapped in support as we went down the sidewalk. The situation in Burma has not gotten better, it's simply been blacked out by the military junta there. Thousands of monks have been arrested and hauled away in trucks or detained inside their own monasteries with barbed wire. Some have been killed, many have been beaten. We must have an international outcry. There will be peaceful demonstrations on October 6 all over the world.
