Reverend Fathers, may you lend your ears to me! The evil, sadistic and pitiless
military rulers who are robbing the nation’s finances and indeed are large-scale thieves
have murdered a monk in the City of Pakokku. They also apprehended the reverend monks
by lassoing. They beat up and tortured, swore and terrorized the monks. Provided that
mouks be bestowed with four deserving attributes, they ought to boycott the evil, sadistic,
pitiless and immensely thieving military rulers. The monks ought not to associate with the
tyrants, not to accept four material things donated by them and not to preach to them. This
imuch is informing, recommending or proposing
Reverend Fathers, may you lend your ears to me! The evil. sadistic and pitiless
military rulers who are robbing the nation’s finances and indeed are large-scale thieves
have murdered a monk in the City of Pakokku. They also apprehended the reverend monks

pitiless and immensely thieving military rulers. The monks ought not to associate with the
tyrants, not to accept four material things donated by them and not to preach to them. If
the reverend consent to boycotting the military despots, dissociating from them, rejecting
their donations of four material things and abstaining from preaching to them, please keep
the silence and if not, please voice objections, Fathers.
The clergy has boycotted the evil, sadistic, pitiless and immensely thieving military
rulers! Excommunication together with rejection of their donations of four material things
and abstaining of preaching to them has come into effect!
