Today's Red Shirt for Burma event was an all day reminder of the current worrying situation there. I've been keeping updated on the latest breaking news via the Buddhist Channel (as well as other sources such as the Guardian and the BBC), and I encourage you to do the same. Shown here is a Burmese Seated Buddha dating from the Pyu period (8th–early 9th century), in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
