Ashin Mettacara

                 

Ashin Mettacara was born in Wun Tho, Sagaing Division, Burma in 16/04/1982. He was ordained a novice in 1994 and a monk in 2000. He studied Buddhism at Khanti Pariyatti Monastery (Wun Tho, Sagaing Division, Burma), Wayalet Pariyatti Monastery (Rangoon, Burma) and Man Aung Monastery (Rangoon, Burma). He passed Buddhist examinations known as Pathamange, Pathamalatt, Pathamagyi in Burma. He arrived Colombo, Sri Lanka on 9th May, 2004. He studied B.A and M.A programme in Colombo, Sri Lanka and has successfully completed B.A and M.A from the Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka. While he was studying in the Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka, in September 2007, there was a Saffron Revolution in Burma. The military regime cracked down the peaceful protestors who mostly are Buddhist monks. As he could not reconcile himself with the current military regime's brutal crackdown to the Buddhist monks, peaceful protestors and human rights abuses, he became involved in the Burmese politics as an exile. Ashin Mettacara is an independent blogger monk and contributing at OpEd to support Free Burma. He is not part of any political group, association or organization. He is helping all the groups who are working for freedom of belief and expression. His motto is "Working for equality is human values". Visit: http://www.ashinmettacara.org/
