"Shin Ukkaṭṭha” in local periodicals, newspapers, journals, and history is recognized as “the revolutionary thinker and monk of Burma." Given the number of norms he has broken in his life, he certainly deserved the label. Even those who opposed his interpretation of Buddhism have ultimately come to the conclusion that, despite the criticism, they are left with no other option than to either "become the laughing stock" or "adopt the interpretation of Shin Ukkaṭṭha" in order to appropriate Buddhism in light of modern knowledge, science, and education. Buddhism in Burma had to undergo significant change, particularly in the twenty-first century, to avoid becoming the laughing stock of the country's youthful and intelligent populace. Many of the concepts stated by "Shin Okkahta," which had previously been suppressed, had to be resurrected by today's progressive Buddhist monks.
