Free Tibet

by Leron Kattan Friday, Aug. 08, 2008 at 3:57 PM

It's our duty to help free Tibet.

A culture defined by kindness in a world strangled by oppression defines the existence of the Tibetan people. Situated between the magical snowy mountains of the Himalayas and the birthplace of Buddha, they have been smothered by warring nations in a fight for superiority. Despite 50 years of destruction and persecution that have claimed 1.2 million lives and totaled 6000 holy monasteries, the Tibetans still have an undying light in their eyes.

I once asked a Tibetan Buddhist monk, “Do you have hope that one day Tibet will be free?” He answered with unfaltering certainty, “Yes. Yes.” He then chuckled and recalled one of the speeches the Dalai Lama gave about the possibility of freedom. He paraphrased to me the words of his leader, “I am old and balding, but when I am left with only one hair on the top of my head that is the day that we will regain our freedom.” He then laughed his serene and genuine laugh as he drew back into his undisturbed smile. I was filled with a new sense of hope not only for the future of Tibet, but also for the potential tranquility of our hostile world.

When the Dalai Lama received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, he declared his concern for all of humanity by avowing, “As a Buddhist monk, my concern extends to all members of the human family and, indeed, to all sentient beings who suffer. … I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we succeed in building a better world through human understanding and love, and that in doing so we may reduce the pain and suffering of all sentient beings.” In another one of his speeches, he pleaded to the ones who live in freedom to help his people and promised with sincerity that he will do all he can to serve all people throughout the world. Even while living in exile and devoting himself to liberating his people from the profound suffering they face, he still endeavors in various projects that aid the poor and destitute in various parts of the world, such as Mongolia and India.

We are the free. We are the ones he is addressing. If we feel that we have responsibilities to our future generations, then we must know that the greatest responsibility of all is to bring about the end to these horrifying atrocities plaguing our human family. Let’s help those in the world that pray for the same peace we so desire.

freedumb!!!

by FreeDumb! Saturday, Aug. 09, 2008 at 6:15 AM

Tibet, the passion of the 'left'.
Does it matter that before China came in, the country was run like a feudal serfdom as most of the people were locked into the religious caste system of parasitic slavery to the entrentched order?
Ask the majority of the people of Tibet wether or not they would like a return to the old system of rule.
Has anyone done this?
No, of course not, as this would ruin everything.
Or does the CIA asset the Dali Lama have the only valid perspective?
Free America from freedumb.

now now.. be nice

by yada yada Saturday, Aug. 09, 2008 at 9:07 AM

How nice to know the zionists are still putting quotation marks on the people of Palestine. Now tell me, zionist, why the hell should isreal care what happens in Tibet? Losing the limelight of righteous victimhood?
coff coff...
This is what happens when policy shifts because power bases lose creditability.
Don't worry, little zionazi, the people will soon discover that the Zbigniew Brzezinski faction is now running things and that they are even more dangerous than the zionists, if that's even possible.
At least the zionists try to pick on defenseless targets.
Russia and China have real teeth.

Type the answer in English: What is two plus one? three

[gee, now I get to play with the malicious software which is trying to censor me by changing the math question.]
here's a use for quotation marks.

uh Idiot, when Zionism

by uh Idiot, when Zionism Monday, Aug. 11, 2008 at 12:29 PM

uh Idiot, when modern political Zionismstarted, pre-state Israel was run as a theocratic, oppressive feudal enterprise. The descedants of the Arab capitol classes, the Effendis, are the exact same familes that head the PA and Hamas, seeking to restore their feuidal holdings.

idiot!

don't worry little zionazi

by don't worry, little zionazi Monday, Aug. 11, 2008 at 2:37 PM

Oh, did you type something? An insult followed by your unfounded fabrications?
How new.
You never answered *my* question. And I asked 1st.
Why the hell is isreal concerened about Tibet?
Whatever.

Why does isreal have to be the center of the universe anyway? Because certain cults are megalomaniacal?
The Dali Lama worked for the nazis AND the CIA.
You never addressed that.
You seem to be pathetic and petulant. Not a good combination without primary source references.


Tibet where the monks live in luxury on the labor of the masses before China came in.
You never addressed that.

Type the answer in English: What is three plus four? SEVEN

STOP THIS CRAP!

...but not the occupation of Tibet. HYPOCRITES.

Does 'revisionist' mean that you simply don't know any history and don't recognize the names of the Effendi familes like Husseini, Nashibi etc

Nope

by Zionist Revisionism Same as Holocaust Denial Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2008 at 5:02 PM

No, Revisionism, preached by Zionism because it knows its history is immoral, which is no different than Holocaust Denial.

When your comments get deleted, that means they don't belong here, not 'post them again'.

yup

by there they go again Friday, Aug. 15, 2008 at 7:14 AM

Quotation marks on a people.
Racist dehumanization.
and the ring in their nose goes to the hands of Zbigniew Brzezinski where he jerks them into action.
Against China with a heaping helping of anti- Palestinian hate and insult thrown in.
The zionazi calling card.
