thanks, dear zali. like so many others, i just do what is before me, what makes sense, and often enough find myself dumbfounded. but no matter. as one old teacher said: not knowing is most intimate......and tibet is at risk..... all areas of tibet.

I have yet to even meet Joan yet consider her a teacher, I use as example for a way to be in the world when I get out of my own way. There is much suffering in the world today. We are all too familiar with the images we are so often confronted by. This to me is refreshing in the light and hope Roshi shares with those in need. May you also benefit from it's viewing as I did. With deepest regards, just me,zali

The issue is a religious one. The Christian churches NEED to stop bash Jews and Chinese.

if hes serious about the independence of the whole tibet then why hes always asking for autonomy of his own homeland lhasa and not other homeland such as dega,amdo,and many more which are actually larger part of tibet compare to lhasa which is his home ground and the main reason we lost tibet.

Western Human Rights groups use Olympic as a tool to press China. This is dangerous because it may backfire. The actions may turn the Chinese public away. The Chinese may see this as a form of insult to their nation. Any change to China has to be supported by the Chinese people. There is little support for issues like FLG or Tibetan Independence among Chinese public. The Western activism only verifies the Chinese view that Westerners are egotistic, condescending and radically anti-China.

A profound and eye-opening video clip - the sequencing of local color with the medical effort weaves a touching story line. The woes of Tibet have been greatly exacerbated over the past 4 decades - this donation of medical talent to help lessen the pain of our fellow humans speaks to the soul. Many blessings & light. |
