Mutual respect is merely a start that’s long overdue. China’s history has been replete with viciousness since it’s inception. It is time for China to acknowledge the practices that literally cost millions of lives. When a society expects, worse yet demands, its young people turn away from their elders and allow them to be killed as enemies of the state it is one heart, one body, cutting off its limbs in self mutiliation. This extinction was then deliberately continued with a huge dam built on the flimiest pretense of generating “power” but really to destroy all the beautiful shrines from thousands of years ago to prevent the people from having a hopeful home or haven as their towns and villages were destroyed for “progress”. What time of power, “energy” was unleashed with hate, murder, contempt of family, home, sacred life. It is the same with the Olympics as ugly unnecessary expensive “modernization” promotes only the police state of destruction vs a peaceful neighbor Tibet with the intent to turn it into a sanitized tourist site and strip it of its power in the name of commercialism. Tainted with greed, hate and envy this Olympics has shown the world that the sleeping giant of China has emerged as a feared destroyer of peace and unity for mankind. Let us change this NOW before it is too late!

Dear Fellow Sentient Beings

I served as an International Expert in China and principal investigator on collaborative UNESCO-LINKS and UNDESA project research with the Kam Ethnic Minority of China through the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. I had the opportunity to travel in Tibet and Tibetan exile communities of Nepal. This was a turning point in my life.

I witnessed severe repressive conditions in Tibet and violence toward Tibetan people by Chinese and was shocked and appalled by these occurrences. I informed UN Peace Keepers in Nepal that they were needed in Tibet because it operates as a police state.

Tibetan people keep our world in balance. Many demonstrate the highest human values of compassion, peace, integrity and respect for life. This is what our troubled world needs in this time of crisis. It gives us hope to envision a free and just Tibet that is a demilitarized zone of peace and protected natural beauty. This can be achieved with guidance by the spiritual leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama. Respectful and reciprocal dialogue with the Dalai Lama is crucial and productive. China has an excellent opportunity to right the wrongs and to show respect and to sincerely move productively in a positive direction of reconciliation and granting Tibet genuine autonomy that will be satisfactory for the Tibetan people.

One cannot rule with an iron fist. People will not trust or love their leaders who behave dishonorably, violently, disrespectfully and selfishly. We love the Dalai Lama because he is probably the most honorable leader in our world today. We need these wonderful role models to guide us and to heal our world.

We can alleviate poverty, suffering, malnutrition, totalitarianism and end violence. Together, we can make a difference. One World, One Dream……..Open the borders of Tibet to international research scientists and journalists to form meaningful collaborations with Tibetan people to safeguard the fragile Tibetan Plateau. Together, we can try to recover what has been destroyed by conquest. We can do this.

“We cannot rewrite history but together we can determine the future.”
-Dalai Lama
