3D Dialogue: The Politics of Buddhism in Burma
The following segment from 3D Dialogue is a great example of how the show combines politics, religion, sociology, and economics to cover a story in a unique way, especially when it comes to complex issues such as the recent protests in Burma. This interview with Bush Gulati, from the Committee for Restoration of Democracy in Burma, provides an overview of the role Buddhist Monks play in the struggle against the military dictatorship in Myanmar.
The discussion starts with the history of Buddhism in Burma, and goes on to explore the relationship between the monks and the lay people. This is followed by a brief history of the monks' political activism, as well as how they're engaging politics in Burma in the modern day. The discussion ends with a call to action to the International community to step forward and help the people of Burma.
