Inle Trust News letter – July 2018

Children of the Revolution is a book of converging worlds. In it you discover the very human weave of courage, perseverance and vision, woven with a delightful touch of humour and surprise.

It also has the beguiling pattern of a journey unfolding. And as it unfolds, you learn. And you are inspired.

Children of the Revolution is both an inspiration and a teaching. It unfolds as a flower does. As you are taken along the twin tracks of a journey through a conflicted region, and a personal journey of reflection, gradually what remains with you is a story about Loving Kindness. Appropriately it starts with a family gathering and ends with the family at the monastery. These are the ripples across the lake, ever-widening patterns of mettā as the children are sheltered, fed, educated, and then go into the world.

Phongyi, the monk in charge, gave a very passionate speech to the children & village elders at the inauguration of the Healthcare Assistant training centre at the monastery.
“It was only some 5 years ago that feeding the 500 or so children was a day to day struggle. Every day I sat in meditation and prayed that someone of like mind would come from the outside into this remoteness and lend a helping hand.
