Statement 37 (3/00) (translation)

1. BOC U Maung Gyi had bought shares in the BOC company in England some 70 yeas ago and the profits obtained from those shares have been donated to religious and other institutions such as the
(a) Mandalay Pa-ri-yat-ti Tha-tha-na-hi-ta Institution ( Religious Institution for the study of the Pali Scriptures)
(b) Young Men Buddhist Association
(c) Buddhist monasteries where 200 or more monks can study the scriptures.

2. We have been informed that the money for the year 2000 has been sent from England to Burma.

3. To decide how this money will be distributed the authorities concerned invited representatives from the Mandalay Pariyatti Religious Institution and the YMBA and warned them not to invite to the event the sayadaws from the Kyakhatwaing Monastery in Pegu township, Pegu Division, and Mahagandayone Monastery in Mandalay-Amarapura . Even if they happened to be invited they would not be allowed to preach on the occasion celebrating the event. This is the information we have received.
