Since the 2007 Saffron Revolution, about forty Burmese Buddhist monks who led and participated in peaceful prayers and protests against the military regime escaped from Burma and arrived in the United States.  Out of the forty, because of the difficulties in finding benefactors and supporters for their monk-hood, only seven have been able to remain on as monks in this country.

We are presently trying to found a new temple and monastery to house the remaining Saffron monks in the United States and to support others who may arrive in the coming years to provide services to Burmese immigrants. Your contribution can help us launch a new Saffron Monks Temple and Monastery in the United States.  Please support us by donating to the All Burma Monks Alliance.  Please click on the “Give Alms” tab to see how you can help us.
