FEDERATION of All Myanmar Theravada Buddhists and the Sasana Nuggaha Association for Border and Hilly Regions (Central) are deeply saddened by the fact that three pilgrims were killed and 19 others wounded in the brutal attack of KNLA Brigade 1 and PDF terrorists, subordinates of NUG and CRPH using heavy and small weapons at the Kinmunchaung bus terminal at the foot of the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda in Kyaikto Township, Mon State, on 12 October 2022.

Now, it is on the occasion of the Thadingyut festival and it is the holy place, Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is visited by not only Myanmar citizens but also Theravada Buddhists from the country or abroad, so such a violent attack affects the propagation of Sasana.

Federation of All Myanmar Theravada Buddhists and the Sasana Nuggaha Association for Border and Hilly Regions (Central) which have been carrying out the Buddha Sasana-related measures for more than a decade, issue this statement opposing and strongly condemning that violence.
