I have not heard of any adverse news on Pa-Auk nor Thanlwyin. I understand that Thanlwyin was not affected; residents at Pa-Auk have been strongly advised not to go out to Mawlamyine- apparently some disturbances occurred there.
I understand that the retreat at Maymyo conducted by Sayalay Dipankara has been cut short and most yogis have left Myanmar safely.
I am not sure we have seen the end of the misery and the uprising yet.
