The villains' unprecedentedly hideous provocations are touching off the bitter resentment and anger of all the Buddhists in the DPRK, the statement said, and went on:

Neither nuclear bombs nor "special operation" of the U.S. can ever destroy our earthly paradise and fortress of single-minded unity.

The service personnel and people of the DPRK are all out in the decisive battle to win the final victory, their hearts burning with the resolution to devotedly protect the leader. The U.S. and the south Korean group of traitors would be well advised to behave with discretion, properly understanding the spirit and will to annihilate the enemies.

All the Buddhists in the DPRK will courageously turn out in the sacred all-people battle to throw the aggressors and provocateurs into a hell like cauldron just as great Buddhist priest Sosan replaced the Buddhist alter fittings by weapons and fought the sacred war for wiping out the enemies.

We express expectation and belief that all the Buddhists in south Korea and overseas who love justice and peace will be well aware of the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by the reckless nuclear war hysteria of the U.S. imperialists, the sworn enemy of the Korean nation, and the Park Geun Hye group and bravely turn out in the nationwide patriotic resistance to prevent war and preserve peace on this land.
